Viktor Schauberger -
possibly the most forward-thinking scientist
of this century?
Viktor Schauberger was the inventor of the first
man-made vortex powered "flying saucer"!
He also realised by observation what Cartesian Reductionist
deduction couldn't... that moving fluids can generate energy
by reducing entropy.
His motto was "understand nature, and then copy nature" He was known as the 'Water Wizard'.
Alongside Nicola Tesla and Wilhelm Reich,
Schauberger is one of that distingushed company of pioneers whose
work is so unprofitable, so contrary to the perceived norm of
'profit at any cost', that their major works are bought up
and shelved indefinately.
Here is his story...
Born towards the end of the nineteenth century in Austria, Schauberger's
teacher was the natural world itself. In forests, alongside rivers, he studied
the life-enhancing energy, which manifests in water or air as vortices.
"Prevailing technology uses the wrong forms of motion. It is based on
entropy - on motions which nature uses to break down and scatter
materials. However, Nature uses a different type of motion for creating
order and new growth. The prevailing explosion-based technology -
fuel burning and atom splitting - fills the world with expanding,
heat-generating centrifugal motion," he warned.
Energy production, he believed, could instead use inward-moving,
cold-generating centripetal motion, the same that nature employs to build
and enliven substances. Even hydro-electric power plants, Schauberger
said, use a destructive motion - they pressure water and chop it through
turbines. The result is 'dead water'. He built suction turbines which
enliven and invigorate, resulting in clean, life-giving water downstream.
Schauberger produced electrical power from a unique suction turbine by
implosion principles, and later was pressured into developing a
propulsion system using the same principles applied to air.
of flying saucers and nazi imprisonment...
Hitler came to power and Schauberger's experiments had
started to attract attention. After hearing about Schauberger's
discoveries, Hitler threatened to hang Schauberger and
his entire family if he did not co-operate with Nazi plans.
Hitler wanted Schauberger to supervise the building of a
new flying craft which levitated without burning any fuel.
Because of the war, the Third Reich was desperate for
new technological aid, but Schauberger did not want to give
the Third Reich any technological advantages!
He went to work as ordered, but deliberately took a great
deal of time over everything, hoping to foil Hitler that way...
The idea of a new type of flying craft was based on Schauberger's
discovery, made a few years earlier, of how to develop a low-pressure
zone at the atomic level. He had actually achieved this in a laboratory,
when his prototype whirled air or water 'radically and axially' at a falling
temperature. Schauberger referred to the resulting force as 'diamagnetic
levitation power'. He emphasised that nature already successfully used
this direct, or 'reactionary', suction force, within weather
generation, solar fusion stability etc.
Schauberger was given a team of scientists to help him with his work, and
he insisted that these be treated not as prisoners but as free men - even
though they were all technically prisoners of the Nazis. After their research
headquarters were bombed, they were all transferred to Leonstein and
there they perfected the "flying disc", powered by Schauberger's turbine
which rotated air into a twisting type of oscillation resulting in a build-up of
immense power causing levitation! Schauberger's prototype was
developed into a vehicle that could speed 15000m in 3 minutes and
fly in any direction at mach 3!
In what is now eerily reminiscent of current reportage of alien
spacecraft, the flying disc prototype, which rose and crashed
against the laboratory ceiling, glowed blue-green as it rose,
and left a silvery glow! (was this possibly ionised water vapour?)
At the end of the war, American military officers seized
everything in the laboratory and, seeing Schauberger as
a Nazi collaborator, put him into 'protective custody' for
six months.
The Munich publication, Da Neue Zeitalter, wrote in 1956 that "Viktor
Schauberger was the inventor and discoverer of the new motive
power, implosion, which, with the use of only air and water, generated light,
heat and motion". The publication noted that the first unmanned flying disc
was tested in 1945 near Prague, that it could hover motionless in the air
and could fly as fast backwards as forwards. This flying disc was reported
to have a diameter of 50 metres.
There is no doubt that Viktor Schauberger knew how to build a disc that
levitated. However, he had not, at the time of his imprisonment,
worked out how to 'apply the brakes', as all his test flying discs
eventually crashed.
on environmental concerns and selling one's soul...
After his imprisonment, Schauberger took up his research again. He had
lost his financial assets but he still thought he could help the world by turning
his inventive genius and insights to good use.
He felt bitter about the effects of chemicals and deforestation upon
agriculture. He noted that "the farmers work hand-in-hand with our
foresters. The blood of the earth constantly weakens and the productivity
of the soil decreases". When forests can no longer nurture water sources
which supply vitality, farmlands downstream cannot build up voltage
in the ground for keeping parasitic bacteria in balance, he observed.
Noticing that the soil dried out after being ploughed with iron ploughs,
he built copper plated ploughs. He continued to work on his agricultural
ideas for some time.
Then Schauberger was called to America, where, still thinking he could
do some good for the world, he was persuaded to provide a
team of scientists, military and government officials with
a record of everything he knew and to sign some contracts.
But eventually he became worried that his projects seemed
to have been left sitting on the shelf, and that no further
research was being done. He then discovered that in actual
fact he had signed the rights to his work away to an
industrial concern, and that this concern now retained power
over the use and development of his work. And clearly their
position was to do nothing to further Schauberger's research.
(One wonders if they are perhaps now working on some of
the ideas, particularly the levitating disc, in secret...)
By this stage, Viktor Schauberger was an old man, and
he died a despairing death, reportedly crying in the last
days of his life that he had lost everything and that he no
longer even owned himself.
Schauberger's legacy...our view
Now, 38 years after Schauberger's death, our planet is still in crisis.
Will humanity turn, as it no doubt should, to Viktor Schauberger's insights?
There are several aspects of Schauberger's work which encourage further
thought. Spinning objects, such as Tops, exhibit well known tendencies to
resist axial rotation, but neverthless, as energy is lost from the system,
chaotic impulses lead to precession, which occurs in a way reminiscent of
the decay of a musical note in a stretched string. From the Top's point of
view, its axis is unique and fixed - it is the universe that wobbles!
What happens if you entrain particles at near light speed in a closed loop,
and then rotate the whole structure? What happens if you then rotate that
system? and so on.
This problem has baffled me for ages, but by contemplating
Schauberger's insights (if I may call them that) I have realised the obvious,
that a vortex is a type of fluid gyroscope, and that a collapsing vortex's
axis does oscillate with increasing frequency until the liquid reverts to a
turbulent state, thereby losing as much energy as possible as fast as it
can. Coincidentally, chaos theory got a good break by considering
the stages of transition from laminar, ordered flow, to turbulence, in
liquids. Water is at maximum density at 4 degrees celcius, and
Schauberger's research indicates that at this same temperature
water has its best 'carrying, life giving' properties. At maximum
density, water obviously can carry the most, but what of the life
force? Since water should be a gas at room temperature (20 degrees
celcius) according to its molecular weight, it has long been
assumed that water 'polymerises', which assumption, unverifiable as
yet by direct obsevation, may account for many of its peculiar properties.
At 4 degrees, water is in its longest chain state, and thus ionic charges
have a chance to build up macroscopically as the long molecles entrain,
if the flow remains ordered or 'laminar'. On a sub-atomic level, this same
spin may have entrainment effects. What if the whole system became
aligned? Is it possible that all the kinetic energy present in a fluid might
be released as motion in a region? This might be analogous to the way light
behaves in a laser, but in this case the output would be thrust and suction at
opposite ends of the vortex.
I mentioned W Reich earlier, as his forbidden experiments into nuclear
radiation and life energy (for which he was indirectly gaoled) seem to point
to the startling conclusion that entopic energy in the cosmos is balanced
by an absorbing, patternmaking force, which can been seen as
information, or as life in the most general sense. If this were
to be so (and the idea is appearing more and more frequently
in current scientific literature), then not only would life be
inevitable throughout the universe, but our short term and
disastrous manipulation of the atom might find a long term solution
in the creation of 'nuclear neutralisation plants', which
would increase growth rates, precipitation and flowering around them.
A utopian fantasy? Perhaps... we will have to see.
