Viktor Schauberger was an Austrian forester who was active during the
first half of the 19th century. He had a huge beard and a friendly
laughter, this he combined with an uncompromising belief in himself and
his ideas. He was obstinate in combination with a choleric temper. He
was a good drawer and probably a skilled craftsman. Even if Viktor
was not schooled the academic way he had a deep knowledge in biology,
physics and chemistry. His sense and understanding on how water flows
in the nature was exceptional. From his observations he formulated his
new hydrodynamic basic theory. His friends and opponents described him
as highly intelligent and with this intellectual sharpness he made a
deep cut in his (and ours) physical paradigm.
Viktor Schauberger made his first tentative efforts during his
childhood. His highest wish was to follow in the footsteps of his
forefathers and become a forester in the primeval-like forests that
could be found in Austria in the end of the 18th century. During his
long walkabouts in the deep forest it was the water that first of all
caught his attention. Small creeks and rivers were animated for him. The
revolution of the water appeared as much more complex than the established
knowledge explained. He meant that the water streams were the blood
of the earth, and the smallest deviation in the temperature could be
compared to the deviations seen in human blood. Fresh water makes it's
own winding way in the nature and by doing this it builds up an internal
movement that gathers more power than the man is able to measure.
He proved this internal power by designing long winding floating
canals that were able to float huge timber logs using just a small amount
of water. Along these canals, ingenious water exchange stations were
placed. In these stations fresh cool water was refilled when the old worn water was tapped. To describe the internal movement of
the water is not easy! To be able to do this Schauberger had to create
a home made terminology. Terms as cycloid turbulence, inward flushing
movement and dia-magnetism did not belong in academic seminars and
he early fell on the wrong side of the scientific establishment. On
the other hand, with spruce needles in his beard, eyes that burned of
conviction and a spirit that categorically refused any contradiction he
was surely not easy to handle.
Viktor Schauberger's basic thesis contains a universal, twofold
movement principle. He meant that life sustains by a gathering, implosive
type of movement and reversed, a spreading, explosive movement that
leads to the extinguishing of life. With the implosive movement coolness,
suction growth and healthiness follows. The explosive movement generates
heat, pressure, fragmentation, illness, and death. His opinion was
that man had only succeeded in mastering the movement of death in order
to release energy. All known engines are based on explosion, heat and
pressure. To only use the explosive movement, definitely leads to the
destruction of nature. These thoughts did not get any sympathy in his
time, decades before the environmental problems showed up.
Therefore, one of Schaubergers aims was to investigate and artificially
copy this movement that he could see that the nature was using in order
to gather energy for different uses. Basically the movement could be
described as an inward moving and twisting vortex. The appearance of the
vortex is wide. A spiral galaxy is an expression for a disc-shaped vortex
whose opponent could be a DNA molecule, which describes a nearly infinite
long thread-shaped vortex. The grade of complexity becomes obvious if
You realize that large vortices are composed of smaller vortices and
so on.
Imagine the vortex that lifts the stack of leafs, this vortex is a
part of a larger system of vortices. Schauberger meant that when these
vortex systems are co-ordinated and phase together, huge forces are
released. These forces are capable of building or condensing biological
systems and also rays of something that he named dia-magnetism. This
dia-magnetism is opposed to gravitation and explains (among other
phenomena) how it is possible for life-forms on the surface of the earth
to grow up in the air.
Everywhere in the nature Schauberger could see shapes that sustain
this, as he named it, multiple centripetal movement. The beds of creeks
and rivers, the gills and fins on fishes, the wings of the birds,
blood vessels and similar things, all these gives an impulse to this
type of movement.
He tried to artificially generate the centripetal movement in various
types of machines. Among other devices, he designed several prototypes
of so called home power plants. These devices had conical, twisted tubes
that were wrapped around a conical shaped body as a main component. When
these tubes are forced to rotate, water is sucked into the tubes in
the biggest end and after being processed in the tube it is sprayed
out in a tremendous force on turbine vanes, mechanically connected to
a generator. An other design, an implosion machine that sucked in air
that was twisted so efficiently that the dia-magnetic field was able to
lift the device with a tremendous force. However, the information on the
function and efficiency of these devices is uncertain. What is known, is
that Schauberger had both American and Soviet eyes directed on him. At the
end of his life he was cheated, isolated and silenced by businessmen from
the US. These businessmen feared that he could threat their business.
