	Max Valier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Valier was born in Bozen (Bolzano), South Tyrol and in 1913 enrolled to study Physics at the University of Innsbruck.
		Valier was killed less than a month later when an alcohol-fuelled rocket exploded on his test bench in Berlin.
		Max Valier is still recorded in South Tyrol, being one of the most famous inventors and scientist of this province, and a number of institutions bear his name:

		Valier was, in 1927, one of the founders of the German “Spaceflight Society.” Valier, Fritz von Opel, and Friedrich Sander developed the first rocket cars and aircraft.
		Valier, in 1927, became one of the founders of the famous German Verein für Raumschiffahrt, or “Spaceflight Society,” a group of brilliant scientists who would play a major role in making rocket spaceflight a reality.
		Moreover, von Opel, Valier, and Sander said from the start that their experiments with cars were but a prelude to grander experiments with air- and spacecraft.

	Valier, Max (1893-1930)
		Valier was also interested in using rockets to propel ground vehicles and, together with Fritz von Opel and Friedrich Sander, built the world’s first rocket-powered automobile in 1928.
		Two years later, aged only 31, Valier was killed when a small, steel-cased LOX/alcohol engine, designed for use in the Opel-RAK 7 rocket car, exploded during a test run in his laboratory.

		Opel brought in Max Valier of the VFR or Verein fur Raumschiffahrt (Society for Space Navigation) to oversee and conduct the campaign.
		Valier concluded that the sure way to obtain funding to pursue rocket technology was through spectacle and by this he intended to power automobiles, planes, and other vehicles with batteries of powder rockets and it was this which caught Opel's eye.
		Valier looked to Alexander Sander to provide the rockets and Herr Hatry, an engineer, to design the glider which became the Opel-Sanders Rak.1.

	Valier-Oberth Moon gun
		In the 1920s members of the Verein für Raumschiffahrt amused themselves by redesigning Jules Verne’s Moon gun, the Columbiad.
		In 1926 rocket pioneers Max Valier and Hermann Oberth designed a gun that would correct Verne’s technical mistakes and be capable of firing a projectile to the Moon.
		The projectile would be made be of tungsten steel, practically solid, with a diameter of 1.2 m and a length of 7.2 m.

		At its maximum elevation of 16° the 380 could hurl a projectile 20,250m (12½ miles). Needless to say, these guns were soon developed into giant siege cannon, the SKL/45, for the probable siege of huge forces encamped before Paris in 1914.
		There were three guns emplaced around paris (see map) and they fired 351 rounds, of which only a few did any major damage, but even though they were almost impossible to aim precisely and only fired a 7Kg (15½#) warhead, they did manage to kill 256 souls and wound 620.
		A workable 1926 concept by rocket pioneers Max Valier and Hermann Oberth for a version of the Verne gun, with multiple combustion chambers, to be emplaced in a tall mountain and which, as modified by Willy Ley and Baron von Pirquet in 1929, would form the basis for the WWII V-3.

		The book explained the mathematical theory of rocketry, applied it to possible designs for practical rockets, and considered the potential of space stations and human travel to other planets.
		The success of the 1923 book prompted Oberth to consider writing a more popular, and less technical, treatise on the possibilities of spaceflight, but because of his teaching load in a secondary school, German spaceflight enthusiast Max Valier condensed and published one for him.
		Oberth became something of a godfather for the VfR during the 1920s, encouraging the efforts of Valier, Willy Ley, and the young Wernher von Braun.

		Protected against the sun's rays, even oxygen and hydrogen would remain solidly frozen for an indefinite time.
		Their resupply would have to be accomplished by a continuous space ship shuttle service either from the Earth where the propellants (at least liquid oxygen and hydrogen) could be produced, for example, in large power plants powered by the heat of the tropical seas; or from the Moon, as Max Valier suggests.
		This method would be particularly advantageous, because since the mass and consequently the gravitational force of the Moon are considerably smaller than those of the Earth, the expenditure of energy necessary for the ascent and consequently for the propellant supply for that ascent would be significantly less.

		Then, in a gesture that revealed his conviction that "genius is not born, but made" and that "every Peruvian child could be a scientist" because all men possess the divine spark of creation, he delegated the continuity of his invention to young Peruvian scientists, saying to them:
