Viktor Schauberger
the complex natural movement of water provides understanding of the body's health and a novel propulsion for aircraft.
Viktor Schauberger (1885 - 1958) was an Austrian naturalist, engineer and inventor. In his work as a forester he studied how water moved in creeks and rivers. Like Da Vinci before him, Schauberger realized that water moves in complex patterns of rolls and vortexes. He first used these insights in designing log flumes that enabled logs to be transported utilizing a minimum flow of water. He accomplished this by making the timber spin around its own axis by wooden guiding-vanes that caused the water to spiral. He was even able to transport heavier than water woods such as oak and beech with his design.
Continuing with his explorations, Schauberger found that inducing water to spiral down an open air funnel will purify polluted water. Setting up gentle spirals in home water pipes will create healthier drinking water.
Schauberger in World War II
A great deal of uncertainty surrounds Schauberger's activities during WWII. Like many scientists he was compelled to work in the German war effort, including some time at Mauthausen concentration camp. His primary work during this period concerned unique methods of aircraft propulsion.
In 1940, Schauberger developed the first prototype of his Repulsine machine. This craft used the understanding that Schauberger had developed of vortexes and flow to produce flight through the air in a previously undiscovered manner. Some believe that the "Foo Fighters", strange small aircraft that followed Allied planes in the later days of WWII, were examples of Schauberger's inventions. Theories of highly advanced UFO-type aircraft under development in Germany late in the war often include Schauberger.
The advancing Russian and American armies confiscated his work and Schauberger did not continue it after the war, perhaps due to it's military potential.
Later Research
Schauberger worked with a novel design of copper plow (Golden Plough) that he believed would be less disruptive of the soil and increase crop yield. His Heimkraftwerk (Home Power Generator) was an attempt to generate electricity using his theories of spiral fluid movement that showed promise but was never practical. His insights have been used very successfully in flood control and river restoration, working with the natural properties of the water rather than against it.
Living Water
Viktor Schauberger's central thesis is that a gathering, implosive movement, like the spiral of water down a drain, is life-positive and creates order and that a spreading, explosive movement (such as the internal combustion engine) is against life, creating disorder. The vortex is the basis of positive motion, complex combinations of vortex systems in phase with each other create the living world. Schauberger saw this "multiple centripetal movement" (his term translated from the German) of harmonious spirals everywhere in nature, from river beds to the flow of blood in the body.
