The Story Behind Viktor Schauberger

By Ann Jordan


Viktor Schauberger is known to be a very famous forester, naturalist, scientific inventor, and even a philosopher. He is in fact the one who invented the actuators for certain vehicles like planes and ships. He is also the one who made the implosion theory and his findings on nature have created a very big impact on the environmentalists of today.

This man was born in the year 1885 in Austria and actually came from a family of Austrian foresters whose descendants were the Germanic tribe foresters. Now most of his views were not really accepted by the scientific community and were controversial, many theories became famous. Among his most famous theories is the theory of vortices which was probably the first one he developed.

To prove this theory, he used a trout moving in the water as a guinea pig. His big question was how the trout was able to move in the water despite the strong current with a small movement of their fins. The answer he came up with was that water was in fact made up of a vortex that flows in a centripetal motion.

He also concluded that these vortices were created automatically by nature it self. He also stated that the structure of water consists of many different layers that create up the vortex where in the water resides. Of course he also discovered that water will go into its densest state when it is cold.

It was through these discoveries that he was able to create a lot of machinery through water engineering. His theory on vortices even helped him to produce machines that made use of centripetal movement. These inventions included the jet turbine, the log flumes, and many more machines run by hydroelectric power.

In the Second World War, he had the chance of meeting the leader of the Third Reich, Adolf Hitler. Both of them had a very intense discussion on hydro powered machinery, agriculture, forestry, and engineering. It was here that he worked for the army in developing different kinds of machinery for the big German army like weapons and vehicles. However, due to some loyalty problems, he was sent to a Nazi concentration camp near the end of the war.

After the war, the United States of America detained him and interrogated him about his affiliation with the Third Reich and Adolf Hitler. All of his inventions and blue prints were taken for him so that the military could actually study what he has been doing for the German army. He was kept under observation for about nine months before he was eventually let go.

In the early 1950s, Schauberger was released from detention and was finally able to continue his work on his inventions. In 1958, Robert Donner offered him a residence in the US so that he can continue advancing his projects provided that he work together with certain partners in the United States. Unfortunately, the project did not succeed because of disagreements between the partners. Eventually, he just gave up the whole thing and flew back to Austria where he died on September 25.
