In 1943, Lieutenant Stephen Brunauer recruited Albert Einstein to
collaborate with the U.S. Navy's Bureau of Ordnance on high-explosive
research during World War II.
Einstein's initial task was to reconsider magnetic-influence
exploders for torpedoes, addressing issues with depth control,
unreliability, and the impact exploder.
Einstein proposed an electromagnetic exploder concept involving
coils and alternating magnetic fields to trigger explosions when
torpedoes passed under ships.
Rear Admiral William H. P. Blandy, chief of the Bureau of Ordnance,
responded positively to Einstein's idea and sent physicists John Bardeen
and Frank Brown to discuss it further.
Einstein's proposal involved placing coils symmetrically around a
torpedo, generating a signal when passing under a ship, and triggering
an explosion when the alternating voltage returned to zero.
Testing at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory encountered engineering
challenges, but Einstein continued to contribute ideas for improving
torpedo explosions.
Einstein collaborated with physicist John von Neumann on simplifying
the mathematical description of underwater explosions and boosting
torpedo warheads.
Einstein proposed a two-step explosion process for torpedoes, first
creating a central hole and then producing radial ruptures for maximum
damage.
He suggested a hollow tip for torpedoes to ensure perforation and
presented the idea of an initiator to ensure a quick compression for
underwater explosions.
Einstein's contributions were part of a collective team effort, and
he worked with scientists like John von Neumann and physicists from the
Naval Ordnance Laboratory.
Einstein's involvement in war-related projects aimed not only at
providing technical solutions but also boosting morale among
researchers.

In December 1941, Vannevar Bush approached Albert Einstein through the
director of the Institute for Advanced Study, Frank Aydelotte, with a
theoretical problem
related to the enrichment of uranium-235, a crucial component for future
bombs. The exact details of the problem and its military significance
were not fully disclosed to Einstein, but it was emphasized that his
contributions were essential for the national effort.
Einstein provided handwritten calculations within a couple of days,
treating what Bush referred to as the "classical problem." Aydelotte
conveyed Einstein's
readiness to continue if given specific directions and suggested that
experiments could help address certain aspects of the problem.
Harold C. Urey, director of War Research, Atomic Bomb Project, at
Columbia University, received Einstein's calculations and expressed
concerns about their simplicity, noting that Einstein might have
overlooked diffusion.
Between 1940 and 1945, Urey served as Director of War Research, Atomic
Bomb Project, at Columbia University, where he contributed to the
Manhattan Project.

ried on within the limits of the budgets of University laboratories, by
providing funds, if such funds be required, through his contacts with y
private persons who are willing to make contributions for this cause,
and perhaps also by obtaining the co-operation of industrial laboratories
which have the necessary equipment." --Albert Einstein

i don't think Albert Einstein doesn't trust anybody unless they are a ...commie!

It easy to see today how Einstein manage to get all his communist
scientists friends 'placed' in all the top
positions related to the Manhattan Project and atomic bomb research at
the universities.
They were all refered by Einstein. Placed By Albert Einstein.
