Bob Nadel , born Bernard Nadel, in Bronx, NY, the son of a Hungarian
immigrant father who was a master tool & die maker who helped give birth to the
modern automobile. Bob followed his father into the tool-and-die trade.
He educated himself by taking night courses at CCNY, NYU, Brown University, and
Rappahannock College in Virginia. Among his many professional
accomplishments, he made the first prototype zoom lens, worked on early radar
plumbing for the US Air Force, and manufactured umbilical cord junction
boxes for the National Aerodynamics and Space Administration. He also
patented a variety of high speed metal component production and assembly
methods.
Recently, he went into research and development. His latest invention,
a sea powered Hydro-Generator, converts the energy and substance of sea waves
into the perfect fuel, hydrogen with no energy penalty and a kiss of
oxygen as the only other effluvium. The patent, for which he has built a working
model, may be seen by clicking Bernard Nadel in any search engine.. , He
had the honor of exchanging letters with Albert Einstein shortly before his
death. The subject of the correspondence was an alternative to a rocket
propulsion system that uses gyroscopic precession. It would be, in effect,
a working flying saucer, and was sufficiently complicated that Bob has yet to
build a prototype. However, he is thinking about it ...
Bob says that education is a good thing but that too much of it could
inhibit one's thinking outside the box. His mantra is: "The fool did not realize
that it could not be done, so he went ahead and did if!"
