A kugelblitz (German: [ˈkuːɡl̩ˌblɪt͡s] ⓘ) is a theoretical astrophysical object predicted by general relativity. It is a concentration of heat , light or radiation so intense that its energy forms an event horizon and becomes self-trapped.
Kugelblitz (German for "ball lightning") may refer to: Kugelblitz (armoured fighting vehicle) , a German self-propelled anti-aircraft gun used in World War II Kugelblitz (astrophysics) , a concentration of light so intense that it forms an event horizon and becomes self-trapped
"Kugelblitz" model, showing gun elevation. The Kugelblitz combined the chassis and basic superstructure of the Panzer IV tank with a newly designed oscillating turret. This turret was fully enclosed, with overhead protection and 360° traverse. Mass production was planned, but never happened due to the disruption by Allied bombing efforts. [2]
Werner's Nomenclature of Colours is a book of named colour samples compiled by Abraham Gottlob Werner, and subsequently amended by Patrick Syme. [1] The book, first published in 1814, was used by Charles Darwin in his scientific observations. [2] [3] Werner's Nomenclature can be viewed as a predecessor of modern named colour systems such as ...
Furthermore, a 105-millimetre (4.13 in) artillery gun was mounted in an experimental demountable turret on a Panzer IV chassis. This variant was called the Heuschrecke ("grasshopper"). [ 134 ] Another 105 mm artillery/anti-tank prototype was the 10.5 cm K gepanzerte Selbstfahrlafette , nicknamed Dicker Max , made in two examples, both used in ...
The Tiger I had frontal hull armour 100 mm (3.9 in) thick, frontal turret of 100 mm and gun mantlet with a varying thickness of 120 to 200 mm (4.7 to 7.9 in). [26] The Tiger had 60 mm (2.4 in) thick hull side plates and 80 mm (3.1 in) armour on the side superstructure/sponsons, while turret sides and rear were 80 mm.
Kugelblitz (astrophysics) – concentration of light so intense that it forms an event horizon and becomes self-trapped: according to general relativity, if enough radiation is aimed into a region, the concentration of energy can warp spacetime enough for the region to become a black hole.
Belarusian family and the ruins of their village, 1944 Map of Operation Kugelblitz, an anti-partisan offensive in occupied Yugoslavia. During the Second World War, resistance movements that bore any resemblance to irregular warfare were frequently dealt with by the German occupying forces under the auspices of anti-partisan warfare.
