Viktor SchaubergerThe Austrian naturalist Viktor Schauberger (1885–1958) studied how

hidden energy from the cosmos enters into nature’s spiraling motions,

including those in flowing water, in moving air currents, and other natural

spirals. Out of his observations came energy-harnessing inventions that

pointed the way to harmless power technologies. But most people missed

the cue.

Schauberger spent countless hours watching vortexian turbulence—three-dimensional

spiralling—in the water of wild rivers. In a pristine ecosystem he saw a landlocked lake

renewing itself with a whirlpool followed by a giant waterspout. At nights, by a waterfall in the

light of a full moon, he learned about the heightened energy state of cold water by seeing

certain egg-shaped rocks float.

Keeping in mind his motto of “understand nature, then copy nature,” the observant genius

made what he called “living machines.” Today’s main energy technologies use outward-moving

explosion, such as fuel-burning and atom-splitting. By contrast, Schauberger’s machines operated

on principles of inward-spiraling movements of implosion. In short, he generated electric energy

in a radically different way by working in harmony with nature’s creative movements.

One of the turning points in his understanding of energy took place one day when he

startled a large trout in a swiftly flowing stream. He’d been wondering how the fish could

remain motionless in fast-moving water, with only slight movement of its tailfins to keep its

position. How and why did this trout flee upstream instead of letting the current help push it

downstream?

The observant forester eventually figured out that the fish’s shape and motions caused

vortices to form and push the trout against the current. He also discovered a relationship

between water’s temperature and its ability to form vortices.

Over time, Schauberger’s tuning in to nature’s ways led him to understand levitation

forces in water and resulted in unusual machines he built. Some had twisting pipes that had

variations of an egg-shaped cross-section. These shapes increased an inward-spiraling flow inside

those pipes that compressed and accelerated the fluid in increasingly tight braiding toward the

center.

Schauberger’s understanding of levitation forces began on a cool moonlit night one spring,

early in the years when he hiked alone in the unspoiled forests. As he sat beside a waterfall he

noticed a large fish darting back and forth in the river in twisting motions as if building up energy.

Suddenly it disappeared up into a huge jet of falling water. He caught a fleeting glimpse of it

spinning wildly under a cone of water and then floating upward until it tumbled over a curve at

the top of the waterfall.

Schauberger realized that even while gravity’s pull on water creates a visible downstream flow,

invisible levitation currents are going in the opposite direction in a river in its natural state. His

developing understanding of temperature combined with his study of the vortex; he knew that

water has its most potent energetic structure in cool and dark conditions.

To imagine an “antigravity force”—how a flow of energy could pull anything upstream against

the weight of gravity—picture the tunnel in the middle of a vortex swirling down a drain. With

increasing suction it drags things downward into the gurgling drain. Schauberger suggested

imagining such a whirlpool turned upside down. A trout would appear to be floating upward in

along the axis of vortex spin. Schauberger said that with the right lighting it is possible to see

the path of what he called levitation currents—as a tube within the misty veil of a waterfall.

Implosion generators

Schauberger quit his job as royal forester when his employers

began to log the forest greedily instead of selectively, and he

regretted having built an innovative flume. But his firsthand

observations of processes in unspoiled nature led to an

understanding of principles he used later in his “biotechnical

machines” ranging from a copper plow for agriculture to an

implosion generator for powering a house.

Continuing to experiment, he built unorthodox water pipes.

Because the water spiraled inwardly toward the center and

pulled away from the pipe walls instead of pushing against them,

water could move faster and with less friction through his pipes.

This means that a new “free energy” science is possible. No

energy had to be added to the system inside Schauberger’s

unique twisted pipes, yet water was sucked forward with

increasing speed in a seemingly frictionless flow. He based his

energy inventions on suction instead of pressure, implosion

instead of explosion, compression instead of expansion.

Antigravity accident

One of the most dramatic moments in Schauberger’s research

occurred when an associate disobeyed him and made an

unauthorized test run on a machine in his absence. In the circular

model, as usual Schauberger had imitated nature’s spiraling forms. In

this case the gaps between the turbine and base-plate were whorls,

mimicking the corkscrew shaped antler of a certain deer species.

After it spun up to 20,000 revolutions per minute, the machine

called a Repulsator ran itself without the starter motor.

Schauberger’s 1941 letters to contractors indicated he built the

prototype: (1) to validate his theories of levitational flight and (2) to

investigate production of “free energy.”

Apparently his associate was too eager to make the test run, and

started it up while it was tied down in a hangar. The machine

developed so much lift that it broke the cables anchoring it to the

floor, shot up against the roof of the hangar and was destroyed in

the collision.

Life Story

Viktor Schauberger’s life story is dramatic material. Aerospace journalist Nick Cook wrote a

gripping account of the politics surrounding Schauberger’s levitation experiments.

Schauberger’s other biographers cover an attempt on Schauberger’s life and the later era when

Hitler forced him to head a team of imprisoned engineers. That antigravity project extended

until the end of World War II.

In 1958, when he was seventy-three years old, two Americans persuaded Viktor and his son

Walter to go to the United States. The Nazis had forced Viktor to work on his energy-

generating device in a prison camp—or else say goodbye forever to his family. Now a

consortium was promising to manufacture his beneficial energy devices. It was something that

he had always wanted.

That visit to America turned out to be an ordeal in a sweltering Texas summer. An atomic

energy expert came down from New York, met for three days with the Schaubergers, and

reportedly wrote in a document viewed by them that Viktor was likely correct in his

projection that his biotechnical innovations were the path of the future. But the Schaubergers’

hosts soon revealed their insincerity; they were not in any hurry to develop his generator.

In order to be returned home, Viktor had signed a contract during his stay in the United States

that forbade him to ever write about or even talk about his past or future discoveries. The

consortium now owned all the rights to his implosion-generator secrets. When father and son

stepped on an airplane to go back to Austria that fall, Viktor was broken in spirit and Walter

was filled with bitterness toward the United States that lasted throughout his life.

On the way home, Viktor cried repeatedly, “They took everything from me, everything. I don’t

even own myself.” Five days after they returned home, he died, heartbroken. Instead of being

rewarded for his work, Viktor Schauberger’s life ended in despair.

Copy Nature

Schauberger warned that society’s fire-technology (exploding the atom for power, and motors

that operate by burning and explosions of fuel) is a destructive path. Explosion-based

technologies create heat, friction, noise and wastes. Burning Earth’s oil reserves, destroying wild

rivers with hydroelectric mega projects and splitting atoms in nuclear reactors also bequeaths

havoc to the next generations.

Nature does have a breakdown cycle that involves heat and decay—fire and composting—but

nature uses the opposite principles for enhancing life and rebuilding. Schauberger showed how to

switch technologically from using explosive to nature’s implosive—inward-spiraling—motions.

His suction-turbine for instance used a rediscovered ancient principle. “Understand nature’s

ways,” he said. Implosion-based or vortex technologies work silently in comparison to today’s

technologies. Instead of heating, they more often cool materials, and, if water is part of the

energy-converting system, some inventions even vitalize the water.

Schauberger’s specific inventions have proven to be more difficult to reproduce than other

variations of new energy systems. However, his philosophy of working with nature instead of

against nature underlies the efforts of many of the inventors you will meet on the science

frontier.

His understanding of the processes of temperature change and the two types of

electromagnetism found in nature, ordinary and diamagnetism, were crucial to many of the

technological improvements he discovered.⁵⁸

With ecosystems degenerating on Earth today, we believe the human family needs to learn from

Viktor Schauberger how to restore water to its natural life-force functions. In the opinion of his

followers, dam-building must stop because it obstructs the formation of complex vortexian

patterns found in the swirling flow of natural rivers, impedes fish migration, damages the quality

of water and leads to widespread degeneration in surrounding ecosystems.

Wherever new hydroelectric dams will be built and old ones remain intact, ecosystem damage

can be minimized by using Schauberger’s breakthrough turbine. He built and patented⁵⁹ a small

turbine that used vitalizing centripetal (inward-spiraling) motion instead of conventional

centrifugal motion. It needed only ten per cent of the volume of water that a conventional

turbine would need to generate an equal amount of electricity.

Carrying the torch

Schauberger’s gentler, centripetal-flow, turbine design could be widely employed today if

hydrologists and other decision-makers were aware of its value, but his more advanced energy

converters seem to require a research and development task force. New energy researchers

are cooperating internationally in building prototypes of his “free energy” designs, but find it a

difficult challenge to get implosion motors to work as well as had the original models.

In Canada, the late William Baumgartner worked with “applied vortex mechanics” for thirty

years. He taught workshops about the creative processes of nature and the universal

background mechanics of nature—the transparent universe. He said, “There actually is an

invisible universe, and it’s in charge of the visible universe. We can learn how Nature manifests

its creations by understanding the background space geometry. Once you recognize Nature’s

thinking, you can imitate it in detail. This is how we become co-creators—learn what is behind

the known electromagnetic universe.”

“Every living creature, every physical form in the act of bringing

forth its visible form out of its archetype idea, passes through the

swirling vortex motion in order to manifest. How could we have

missed this universal machine?"

Russian scientists did not miss the chance to use the energy-concentrating power of vortices in

water. Teams in or from the former Soviet Union are doing advanced research.

Breakthrough Power co-author Jeane Manning met physicist Vladimir Vystoskii, from Kiev

National Shevchenko University, at a meeting of the American Chemical Society. He expressed

pride in working on technology that mimics nature’s way for amplifying energy by way of

vortices in fast-flowing fluids. He had worked with the late Alexander Ivanovitch Koldamasov,

who first did the experiments using water as the fluid. In an interview with Steven Krivit,

Koldamasov said he had put one kilowatt of power into the system and got twenty kilowatts

out. Vystoskii declined to reveal how close his team may be to presenting a commercial energy-

generating device.

“Why have we ignored the vortex, the workhorse of the universe?”

An American private research effort in Nevada focuses on vortex power concentrating energy in

air. Again, problems with financing have stopped the work for years at a time. Their air turbine

engine was originally built in the 1960s by Haskell Karl. Aerospace machinist Ron Rockwell re-

designed it in recent years. A paper titled “Aerodynamic Air Turbine Engine – Vortex Implosion

Technology” has the tag line “There are no compressed air tanks that run the engine.” It runs on

the ordinary air surrounding it. A battery and starter set it in motion, then no fuel other than

the energized air is used.
