The Power And Simplicity Of Water!
Viktor Schauberger Water: The Magic source of Life, Schauberger; The Amazing "Water Wizard"
[ PAGE ONE][ PAGE TWO][ PAGE THREE][ PAGE FOUR][ Implosion Technology ] Water is a mysterious substance, yet we take it for granted. It is the most misunderstood and most abused element on Earth. Its chemical formula is H2O but that isn't all there is to it. Water is alive. It is the lifeblood of the Earth. Water has its own living energy, and if water dies, our Earth dies with it. Water makes up 60 to 70% of our bodies. Minerals, proteins, sugars, and other substances dissolve in this water forming colloids, which carry a subtle electrical charge. Thus, water provides the electrical life force in all living things. Even dispersed into a fine mist, water continues to carry this vital life force, maintaining its potency and power. It is literally good to the last drop. Since water is alive, it continuously needs to regenerate itself by dewing in a spiral or vortex motion which we see in the shape of a tornado's funnel. Water is the most potent in its densest state at a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius. Above or below this magic temperature, water loses its maximum strength and absorbent ability. In its most potent form in forests or mountain streams, water is near 4 degrees Celsius, but, as it heats up, it becomes stagnant and powerless. To be alive, water must be allowed, first, the freedom to flow in its characteristic spiral motion, and second, the freedom to approach its optimal cool temperature, of 4 degrees Celsius. The primary need of water to roll in a 3-dimensional vortex causes rivers to meander in a gentle to-and-fro motion. The water naturally swings to one bank of a river, turns, and moves across to the opposite bank, and then swings around again in a dancing rhythm of constant motion. Within every flowing stream, water constantly circles in small vortices called eddies. Water desires to coil itself up and spin around an invisible internal shaft like a speeding wheel. The same movement is seen in the waves of the ocean, constantly rolling in spiral movements. This rolling motion causes water to gather electrical force. As water moves across the Earth, it cools itself and increases its internal power. Water stores this potential energy within itself and then gives the energy freely to all-living things. Through this perpetual motion, water constantly exposes its "skin" to the air. Thus it constantly spins around upon itself like a whirling top. Just like a spinster
spinning her thread, Mother Nature attempts to
twist water into a thread of life, which then
becomes a sparkling strand of living electricity.
We see this electricity as glimmering threads of
light in swift mountain streams, especially on
cold moonlit nights. Victor Schauberger an
Austrian forester and expert on water,
demonstrated how running water has the capacity
to excite and illuminate light bulbs using this
principle inherent in water. The centripetal, inward-directed movement of water causes it to become rejuvenated and creates the sucking action evident in a whirlpool. As the water accelerates more toward the center of the vortex, the electrical potential increases to very high levels. This concentrated power within water can become the power of future technology -- the vortex power of water. The greatest damage that can be done to water is to straighten out its natural meandering. An example is the Rhine River, which was straightened, causing it to flow faster. Erosion resulted. Moreover, the eroded soil became toxic wherever it was deposited and thus could not be used for crop growth. When rivers are 'straightened', the water tends to die. The Danube River was "regulated" and forced to flow along man made channels causing the water to lose its ability to sustain life. In addition, the river level steadily dropped. A more common way that we destroy water is by pumping it through straight pipes into our homes and offices. When healthy spring water is pumped by conventional centrifugal pumps under pressure, it rapidly loses its energy and electrical potential. It then becomes the breeding ground for microorganisms and bacteria which must be eradicated with toxic chemicals such as chlorine and fluorine. Unfortunately, the unwary American consumes this chemically treated, dead water. Furthermore, American farmers constantly pour tons of devitalized water onto their crops, stunting growth and vitality. (Schauberger's design for a WOOD pipe, left, with vanes (Fig.5) attached inside of the pipe, to induce a vortex producing spiral motion.) Human arrogance causes us to try to conquer Mother Nature rather than to learn from her. Luckily we can learn from her. We can regenerate water by swirling and coiling it in its characteristic spiral motion It then undergoes a diamagnetic energy transformation and regains its electricity, its good tasted, and its life-giving power. When water is brought to fields in canals and pipes that allow the water to flow in a natural meandering spiral fashion, crop fields have increased by 30 to 40%. Water thus delivered using the principle of vortex flow has turned salty marshes and sour swamps into productive sweet soils. If we do not make use of this knowledge, pollution will destroy water. Many aquifers and ground waters in America are now polluted. If we destroy water, we destroy ourselves. We must care for water and keep it alive simply because it is nonrenewable. No Life can exist on Earth without clean, healthy water. Therefore it is absolutely essential to keep water alive. Yet our current technology is almost exclusively built on the principle of exploding centrifugal forces which lead towards the destruction of Nature and eventually the death of Earth. The combustion engine in every car, bus, and truck is a perfect example of this principle. This engine is only one side of Nature's law of motion. The living water: The other side is the up-building force contained in the principle of implosion; the centripetal, inward-directed movement which constantly renews life and supports growth. Living water is a constant rolling exchange of gravity and levity. The waves move rapidly, and yet the water remains relatively still. In this paradox is the magic of water and the life that it gives. It is this magic in water that causes its own natural purification. In Stockholm, there is a beautiful example of this process. Sewage treatment plants are located in a park where people walk, play and have picnics. Natures biological systems are at work treating the water. Microorganisms break down the organic matter which remains after the solid, non-biodegradable materials have been removed. A Similar process is to be used to treat the terribly polluted water of Providence, Rhode Island. As a result, 99 to 100% of the toxins are removed. Microorganisms in the roots of reeds in the water break down the organic matter. Sludge is aerated, and over 90% of the solids are reduced. The plants even eliminate some heavy metals by retaining these metals in the reed stalks. Vortex technology can be used to rebuild America's agriculture. The same destructive power of water that is demonstrated in tornadoes and hurricanes can now be harnessed for the service of all humanity. The power inherent in the cyclonic movement of water can become the source of unlimited power in our future technology. We need to listen to the lesson Mother Nature shows us. If we learn from the natural movement of water, we will be able to save our ailing Earth. In water we can see not only the illness but also the cure if we are willing to learn the lessons Nature offers. The spiral vortex is reflected in every movement of the universe, from the shape of the galaxies, down through storm cloud formations, to the swirl of the human ear, the pumping of the heart, and the tremendous power in atomic and subatomic matter. The science of tomorrow will be based on the principle of life - the principle of implosion and the geometry of the vortex. If we are willing to learn Mother Nature's lesson, water will again be honored as the magic source of life. The air, the water, and the earth is going to be wasted. The damages can be seen everywhere. Contamination, poisoning, and plundering of the earth's raw-materials, all break down the life-processes and destroy the energy sources. Our forest's are dying. The food that we are eating is being destroyed. The quality of our lives is decreasing. This we can see daily. This is a fact well known to everyone, even to those who are "vampiring" nature and to the scientists who are "thinking one octave to low" regarding natures' way of functioning and do not see the large energy-crises that is emerging.
Living Energies, Biotechnique in practice for the first time: By Viktor Schauberger The family coat of arms for the von der Schauenburg family was a broken trunk with a savage hedge rose wreathing around. The family motto was: "Findus in silvis sientibus" (Faithful to the silent forests). Their castle once stood on Schauenberg. The last descendants of one of the last robber barons was caught in an ambush by the archbishop of Passau. The elder one was decapitated but the youngest was reprieved and exiled. Being the last of his family, he went into the vast primeval forests around Dreisselberg and settled down on the shore of Plöckensteinsee. Here he lived a life as a forester. From him the family Schauberger emerges, who during nearly one millennium have been foresters, fishermen and woodsmen. They had their faith in the church doctrines, as they served the crosier for a millennium, and even less, had science as their belief. They only trusted in what they saw with their own eyes and felt with their born intuition. Most of all, they knew the healing forces of water and understood how to use peculiarly shaped water-channels, which only worked during the cold night, in order to create a greater harvest than their neighbors. However, their main interests was to care for the forest and its wildlife. Many times, flooding uncovered the strange water-constructions that they built in the mountain creeks for the purpose of floating timber. These constructions forced the water to bend in peculiarly shaped curves, in spiral looking or "snake" shaped movements. Of course, the term "cycloid space-curve movements" was unknown to them, but strange enough, they used the essence of this term so skilled, that the shaping made the channels work rhythmically so the water and the logs got a tremendous "schwung" so it sometimes passed upwards, as to making fun of the law of gravity... "From my early childhood, it was my highest wish to be a forester, as my father, grandfather, and in fact, all my ancestors had been. When I was received by an elder forester as an assistant in his domain, my dreams came true in a way that I had not been able to paint in my dreams. Replacing the elder forester, I got my own hunting domain after the WW I. It was the most distant, but therefore, also the best, regarding hunting. As my nearest manager treated me in a patronizing way, our relation was not the best, but instead, the landlord's (Fürst Von Schunburg-Lipped) confidence for me hastily increased. When he got married, shortly after, I won one more favorer - his bride - the extremely beautiful young Princess, as I, on her birthday, managed it so that she was able to shoot a mighty twelve spine stag. In the hunting-grounds, the Princess confided that her husband was close to loosing his estates, because of the changes that the War had brought. He had lost a lot of his prosperity and could only keep his estates if his economy could increase. Before this, I had already brought a plan to the estate management that would have saved the costs of the timber transports by 90 %. But this plan was rejected as unrealistic. The management said that according to Archimedes's law, timber from oak and beech could not be floated as it is heavier than water." "However, the princess came from an open-minded family and did know of my plan. She had a feeling that this plan could save the large domain. She had also learned about the attempt to bribe me, for the purpose of making me not realize my plan. The bribe had come from the company that bought the timber "on root" from the Prince. Suddenly she asked me: "how much did they offer you"? I answered: " three times my annually wages". She abruptly stopped and asked again: "How much could be saved if your construction would be realized"? "Today the transport cost of one cubic meter of timber is 12 Schilling. We fell 30,000 cubic meters per year. This will be about 360,000 Schilling. How much would one cubic meter cost with your construction?" I answered, "1 Schilling, plus the pay off." In his domain, the prince had to make a yearly investment of 80,000 Schillings, and soon she had counted how much could be saved. "OK", she said, "lets do it". I asked for complete freedom in my work and overtook the full responsibility, and the princess kept her promises. At this time I had no idea of the risk I took. But, I was lucky, even in the most critical moments. During one of these moments I was able to make an observation whose enormous impact I realized many years after." "The construction was completed in 4 months. The huge timber logs laid ready on the store place. One day, I did a simple test. One medium heavy log was placed in the entrance of the channel. It floated about 100 meters and laid "dead" on the bottom. The after-coming water flooded over. Immediately I saw all scornful and malicious faces in the front of me. I realized the full consequences of my failure and was furious. I removed the log from the channel. The diagnoses was clear: not enough of water and too much fall. I had no idea of what to do. At first, I sent away my working staff to be able to think in peace."
"One hour later, I was by my men in their lodge, where they were cooking dinner. Resolute, I gave my orders: "Get ready at once. Three men go to the saw mill and request a truck from the management and then bring 300 roof battens made of larch to the entrance of the channel!" The men looked strangely at me. A foreman from Tyrolean asked me: "what will you use these for"? I cut him off with: "do as you are told !" I took the master of construction with me to the entrance of the channel. I said to him: "You will get double paid if you, if necessary, work all through the night nailing these roof battens to the channel as I show you!" The master shrugged his shoulders and nodded in consent. After a couple of hours, the truck with the roof battens arrived. All night the beating of the hammers sounded. Carefully I monitored the opposite curves that the roof battens should form in the channel in order to force the water into a movement like the one that the snake had done." "Arriving at my home at midnight, I found a letter from the Super Forest Officer telling me, that next day, around 10 o'clock, the Prince and his Princess, along with some experts and branch people, would be present to overlook the first test. While calculating, I slowly laid the letter aside. The men could be ready about 8 or 9 in the morning, if they worked all night with all their powers. I took my alp-stick and my rifle, and, after one hour I arrived at the working place. Far away, I heard the beating sound of hammers and saw the light from the truck. "When will you be ready?" I shouted. The master of construction guessed around 9 in the morning. I promised everybody three times their wages if they could be ready by 8:00 AM. They made it by half past 7. I said to the men: "Take your breakfast and be at the entrance at half past 9". There we have one more hour of work to complete, and then you will have one day of resting, double paid! The master told me to take a break before I fell down. But, I rejected him with a gesture and went to the entrance. There I waited until my men came back, and, shortly after, the Prince, his Princess, some of my worst opponents, and the experts and branch people arrived. I saluted the Prince and his Princess and the Super Forest Officer; the rest I ignored. The princess looked worried for me. Leaning against a pole, stood the old Transport Master wearing a patronizing smile on his lips." "I told the men to open the flood gate. Behind the gate, my men put smaller logs into the water. But when they tried to hide away one heavy, 1 yard thick log, the old transport master suddenly said: "well, well that heavy log should be in it too"! I waved at the men, and, slowly the heavy log came closer to the entrance. The log flooded the flume and the water slowly rose; no one said a word. Everybody stood and stared at the log which rose along with the water. In the next moment, the channel would have been over flooded. Then, a gurgling sound was heard and the heavy log first turned to the right and then a little to the left. After this, it wound as a snake with its front part high above the water, and then it darted away on top of the water." "Everyone stood staring in amazement after the log had gone. Finally, the old channel master spit into the channel and caught with a hooked index finger his old quid out from his toothless mouth and through it into the channel. He muttered: "kiss my ass, it really worked"! The Prince, who did not hear what he said, wondered what he did say. I stammered something to the Prince that he had cited something from Götz von Berlichingen." " "Well, then it is working", the Master Forester Officer said. I shortly said good-bye and disappeared into the wood with my alp-stick and my rifle. As soon as I was out of sight I sat down on a stone and dried my cold sweat from my forehead. Once, but never again, I thought. If I had not seen that snake, my life would have been gone." "After a couple of days, I was appointed as the Master of the whole forest and hunting domain. Later on, they where coming from all over the world; experts, branch people, and also, ministers. Shortly after, I was noticed by the agriculture department in Wien. Then a struggle started that still is going on. Often, it has taken the most unpleasant forms. I will probably never have any kind of peace since the day I promised the princess to build that floating channel." Viktor Schauberger's British Patent: Water Conduit. "Galilee discovered the movement of the earth. The church and the scientific world was outrageous. The pope threaten the discoverer by excommunicate him. Bishops and other high masters tormented him with long processes. Finally, hardly pressed by his colleagues, he was forced to reject his discovery. But, his last word was "even then, she moves", just before he died. But I was not thinking about Galilee, Archimedes, Meyer, Newton, Pythagoras or other discoverers of the laws of nature. I was only studying these logs and other matter that was heavier than water, which, during special circumstances, could swing like fishes in the water. I also studied the places where they floated straight up. Places where over powered thrust forces work and where these logs went to the bottom and came to rest." "The snake, who was making such strange movements in the water, displayed the double twisted movement and helped me with my great success. One hundred thousand of the heaviest logs have followed the first one, as it was no difference in their density. Now I understand why my ancestors constructed their floating channels the way they did." "The final preparations of the construction was nearly sabotaged by the Super Forester Officer, who promptly showed his superiority. Supported by the political leader of the forest department, he came to our working place and forbade all work and destroyed my carefully made schedule. I was forced to show my ideas and plans to a commission that was composed of hostile higher Forest Officials, monitored by the Domain Intendant." "The "masters" declared that a 19 yard high catch-dam would not manage to stand the pressure from the water. They declared that if it would break, the flood would make enormous damages to the villages down below. I saw and heard the hostile and ruthless attitude at the commission. However, I had early learnt about the commission and been able to make some preparations. The reason why the commission was put together was that they wanted to see my fall." "Therefore, I did not answer the Intendant but calmly walked down the stairs to the dam, took my rifle and shot two shots up towards the stream. This was the signal to the man that was posted along with the upper dam to open the great flood gate and let the huge amount of water rush down the furrow to the place where I stood. These men were faithful to me, but, the commission thought that I had gone mad shooting two live shots in the air. They ordered me to lay down my rifle and to get up to the plateau where the members of the commission stood wildly gesticulating." "Then, a tremendous roaring came closer. I pointed up along the stream and around the closest bend, a 6 yard high brown wall of water full of whirling logs came rushing. "For Gods sake come up here immediately!" the Intendant yelled. The members of the commission waived crazily their arms and shouted exited into each others mouth. This behavior seemed quite mad from my point of view. After a short side view on these confused people I bent over the apparently weak dam wall and studied, very interestingly, the forward rushing mass of water, which, in a short time would hit the wall on which I was standing." "This was what the members of the commission thought, who stood on the plateau holding their breath. But the masses of water did not act this way. Instead, they came as a weak breaker, turned around, and rushed with a tremendous force against the later incoming water. In this way, the two waves hit together, breaking each others force, while the logs raised straight up and even jumped as salmons high above the whirling water. The dam, which contained 1 million cubic meters of water, was filled in a short time and the dam wall stood easily where it has been placed. The man who opened the flood gate emerged. He did not give a single glimpse to the crowd that was standing on the plateau, but leaped down the stairs asking: "well...did it work?" I nodded shortly, reloaded my rifle, and slowly walked up the stairs. "Now you had more luck than sense !" the Intendment said. I measured him top to toe with my gaze and said: "Mr. Intendment, I think the weak sense is to be found somewhere else!" Then I left him. The other "masters" followed silently talking about the event. When they where ready, the Intendant called for me and informed me that the dam should be carefully measured and tested by a consulting firm from Wien. Even though the dam had held, it is surely not strong enough, he said. These gentlemen came after a weak. Their result after measuring and testing, was, that the dam was twelve times stronger than it had to be, because of the skilled construction." "I demonstrated once more the filling of the dam for these gentlemen, who in spite of careful calculations, could not explain how the dam worked. I made them notice the way the water hit the wall of the dam and how the opposing wave did, in fact, break down the after-coming main wave. I got the idea for the dam's profile from a hens egg, not from some kind of technical university!" Viktor Schauberger "Nature as a master of knowledge", by Viktor Schauberger: Everywhere in the nature, movement is created through differences in temperature and tension. In the cross sections of these the basic and natural forces of life are created. Natural events that has been untouched by human hands gives us the clue how to shape a new kind of technique. To do this, a good power of observation is needed. We must be able to understand the nature in order to copy the natures moving processes. As a master of the wild life in a distant forest domain which hardly could have been visited by humans, I was able to do the following observations, and these lead to the implosion technique. In Hetzau below the Ring, Die Ödeseen (The Desolated Lakes) are situated. After a long period of hot weather, they start to "bühlen" (bellow), as the local people name the thundering sound that emerges from the lakes at the same time, tornadoes of water, high as houses, rises from the center of the lake. The following is an attempt to describe what I experienced: One hot summer day I sat by the shore and was just thinking of taking a cooling swim in the lake. At the moment I was going to do it, I noticed that the water of the lake started to twist into strange spiral shaped curves. Trees that had fallen into the lake moved from the shore and started to do a spiral shaped "dance" in a centripetal movement towards the center of the lake. Coming into the center, they suddenly erected vertically and were sucked into the deep with such force that their bark was peeled from them. Just like a person that is lifted up in the air by a cyclone and then falls down without any clothes. However, these trees never came up again. The lake was calm for a short time, as it was satisfied with its pray. But this calm was an ominous waiting for the next event. Suddenly a rumbling sound was heard from the bottom of the lake. At once a tornado of water, high as a house erected form the center of the lake and a thundering sound was heard when the grail shaped water column stood up. Then the column fell down, with waves swallowing against the shore and I had to run away when the water edge abruptly raised. What I had experienced was the primeval birth of water; renewal of water in a lake without any inflow. I had now started to understand, but still had a lot to learn. One more event helped me to fully understand this interesting question. As a young forest assistant, I used to row in a handy boat on a mountain lake that was situated close to our cabin. I was fishing and hunting ducks among other wild animals. My greatest wish was to be able to shoot a mighty sea-eagle. There was one coming every evening and circulated in peculiar ways over the lake. At the right moment, it let itself fall like a stone and the next moment while flying away, it had a big fish in its claws. The biggest enigma was how the eagle always could catch live fish without diving into the water. The fish never came up to the surface. It took a long time before I was able to solve the riddle. I must really make a careful observation of the hunter and his pray, I thought. On a nearby rock, I found an old spruce, strong enough to carry me. One day I sat hidden in the spruce, armed with my binoculars, and was able to study every movement of the eagle and the fish which swam around in the water. As always, he came at he exact moment, first flying close to the water's surface with a mighty cry and remarkable strong wing beats. It was as if he wanted to announce to his victims that he was here and wanted his tribute. Then the eagle rose nearly vertical in a spiral winding movement, now and then controlling its flight with a beat of its wings, making the spiral more and more close. Then, he let himself fall like a stone with his wings close to his body. Just above the water, he braked. Suddenly, there was a struggling fish in his claws. Heavily loaded, he flew, turning against the woods and was gone. Logically, the most interesting thing was the behavior of the eagle. I forgot to watch the fish, who, apparently safe, swam around in a reasonable depth. But the next time, I also studied their behavior. The eagle came and flew its well known close spirals. What I now saw, was so incredible that I almost fell into the water. Unconsciously I imitated the movements of the fish when they completely copied the eagle's spiraling movements upwards. As thread on a string, they came swimming up against the surface, and as the eagle, making the spiral more and more closer until those who where in the center were pushed up above the surface. Then the shadow from the eagle came, a small whirl was seen, and he had one of the biggest fish in his claws and then sailed away. As soon as I had the opportunity, I studied this drama and was always so surprised that I almost got hypnotized by the movements of the fish.. The articles were taken in part from IMPLOSION magazine, article number 7. THE POWER OF WATER Are Its Secrets the Keys to Solving Today's Most Vexing Problems? By Jeane Manning in Atlantis Rising, No 19, 1999 (reproduced here with the kind permission of Atlantis Rising) Our thinking apparatus runs on water. Our physical bodies are two-thirds water, so obviously its qualities can heal or harm us. We now learn that water seems to remember and later convey "information". No wonder the most dynamic frontier in science today is water research. Or is it a re-search, I wondered, after encountering researchers who: a. show how neuroscience tends to confirm medieval concepts situating memory, imagination and reason in water-filled cavities of the brain. b. experiment with transferring, from water to us, the life-force energy chi, also called "prana" down through the ages, or c. study specially-shaped water pipes used by ancient Minoan culture in Crete; or d. show how the emanations from healers' hands change water. e. measure physical qualities of "holy water," or effects of conscious intent upon water's crystalline structure, or f. build prototype inventions aimed at using water as a source of energy. Some study the big picture, such as the claim that rivers self-organize and energetically recharge themselves through spinning motions. And some point out the well-known anomalies that water is densest at 4 degrees Celsius (=39F), and strangely expands when cooled further, so that its solid state floats on top of its liquid state. Water as the "universal solvent" melds with nearly any element. Hydrogen, the main ingredient in water, is spread throughout galaxies, and ice is found in dust clouds in outer space. The picture of water that emerges is what Marilyn Ferguson in her book Aquarian Conspiracy calls" the strangest stuff around." Learning about the mysteries of water evokes a primal fore-knowing, like a racial memory, perhaps pro-science, something we have known for a very long time. Before our materialistic age lost the abilities to sense subtle "energetics", water was central to sacred rituals and symbols: Baptism, The holy river, Spiritual visions of the Ocean of Love, Myths of the flood or of creation, Drinking of sacred waters when visiting an oracle or a shrine. The Sumerian goddess Inanna had a vase in place of a heart, from which flowed miraculous water. The Bronze Age civilization of King Minos at his city of Knossos on the island of Crete apparently lived by the principle that water should be returned to the earth in the same conditions it was when it was borrowed, treating all water as holy. Our era in contrast treats rivers and oceans as dumping grounds, and we face shortages of drinkable water. Dr. Karl Maret predicts that water will become the currency in the new century. Meanwhile researchers of water mysteries struggle for funding. Ferguson notes: "The quest to understand water hasn't summoned up the capital and glamour of space research, although it may have more direct bearing on our lives. While humans burn rain forests and alter other factors that kept our habitat moist, we should remember the nagging suspicion that Mars was once a watery planet." Let Water Move, Keep it Cool We've had ample warnings. Austrian forest warden Viktor Schauberger (1885-1958) warned about wastelands that did and would appear on our planet when vast forests disappear. He observed the interaction between water and forest, such as the vitality of cold, pure water in tree-sheltered streams. He admonished: "Comprehend nature, then copy nature." He taught that water is a living rhythmic substance. In maturity, it gives of itself to everything needing life. However, water can become diseased through incorrect handling. Dying water harms animals, plants, and fish. Whether stilled by a dam or a bottle, stagnant and warm waters begin to deteriorate. Conversely, at a cool 4 degrees Celsius (39F), moving water is densest, strongest and at its best carrying capacity. Wild rivers have inherent self-control mechanisms, if left alone to establish their own homeostasis, that is if kept cool with natural overhanging vegetation and allowed to meander around bends and therefore be lively with purposeful swirling motion. Shortsighted human engineering, clear-cut forests, mega-project dams, and rivers confined into canals all tamper with the circulatory system of our planet. Having interfered with the hydrological cycle, we reap floods, droughts, and other extremes of weather. Olaf Alexandersson, in his book "Living Water" introduces Schauberger's insight into river management, water-fueled devices and energy. Its successor is the book by Callum Coats, "Living Energies", that could be the textbook for a new eco-technology, to construct or encourage processes which don't fight nature but instead work in harmony. Coats researched for two decades into Schauberger's discoveries from forestry to flood control to soil fertility and water purification. Hydrologists could learn by reading this book how crucial the small variations are in a river's temperature, and how water's spinning motion recharges it with subtle energies. Water Power without Dams The naturalist's warning echoes across the decades, "Prevailing technology uses the wrong form of motions." Twentieth-century machines leave behind waste products because their processes use the destructive half of nature's creation/destruction cycle, the centrifugal outward moving motions of heating, burning, pushing, radiating or explosion. They channel air, water and fuels into the type of motion which nature uses to decompose matter. Schauberger observed that the centripetal inward-spiraling force is the creative, cooling, sucking motion without friction, which results in increased order instead of destruction. He applied his understanding of cycloid spiral motion to a wide range of inventions; methods that are in harmony with nature's creative motion. This "water magician" found solutions for agriculture, for energy generation, as well as transporting water in pipes that encourage the inward-spiraling motion of water. Today's researchers follow and expand on Schauberger's earlier knowledge. For instance, the Swedish Malmo group use the phrase "self-organizing flow" to describe what they are creating, since Schauberger's technology made use of the natural orderliness spontaneously created by a system under the correct conditions. Meanwhile, new energy-generating processes, such as Randall Mills' Black Light Power, convert ordinary water into hydrogen and oxygen. Paul Pantone of Utah runs engines on water mixed with waste substances, and the air that comes out the exhaust pipe won't dirty-a white handkerchief held at the end of the pipe. About a century ago, John Worrell Keely figured out how to run a motor on the power of cavitation or implosion, while alternately compressing and expanding water. He harnessed that which we dismiss as a nuisance- the water hammer- in water pipes. Dale Pond, researcher of Keely's physics, says that Keely's Hydro-Vacuo motor created a water hammer shock wave, which, when synchronized with the wave's echo, "results in Amplitude Additive Synthesis, a process which tremendously increased energy accumulations in quick order." Pond warns that this resonance amplification is similar to the process which breaks wine glasses. As a very interesting tangent to this, I took a hard look at a wonderful man's "water powered" invention - called "Whirlpower" and it holds great promise for a new energy source - a non-polluting energy source. Mr. David Dennard (May God bless his sole) has passed on from us, however, his work in water powered energy - Whirlpower - lives on. Please see the page I have prepared from his original work.

'98 (funded by Living Water International); a privately funded '97 meeting in Los Angeles organized by Linda McClain; and the Institute of Advanced Water Sciences (AWS) symposium the previous year in Dallas, TX the one fact that emerged was that water is not a single homogeneous product of nature. Water in living cells has unique structure, and clusters of its molecules have organized relationships. Another factor is what Schauberger called the "immature taker" vs. "life-giving mature" water. Since water without minerals Is a relentless solvent, if we could distill 100% of impurities out of a batch of water, it would be dangerous to drink, leaching minerals from our bones. Then there's the movement-vitality factor. Stagnant, bottled water, even though chemically clear, is dead compared to water in the rushing brooks. But it has to be proper movement. As water is pushed through cities in the unnatural confines of metal pipes, its energetic oscillations interfere, and the natural order in water's structure is canceled.' How do we know this? For one, German engineer Theodor Schwenk and his Institute for Flow Science, developed a technique for photographing the internal structure of water. In drops of water taken near pristine springs, a symmetric Rosetta pattern was revealed. On the other hand, the internal structure of damaged municipal water is-chaotic. Chemical contaminants and electromagnetic pollution compound the damage and cause chaotic clustering of water molecules. These meetings wrestled with questions such as whether 'living water' is an organized state of matter and energy, and capable of storing and transmitting information. If so, the implications go beyond homeopathy and 'energy medicine" and into the interaction between water and consciousness. Dr. David Schweitzer, grandson of Albert Schweitzer, is the first scientist to photograph the effects of thoughts, captured in water. This shows that water can act as a liquid memory system capable of storing information. David Schweitzer first stepped into this trail by becoming an authority on blood analysis. He learned that blood cells express themselves in sacred geometry and their harmonious shapes and colors. Since blood cells hang out in water, he looked farther into that substance for answers about our thinking processes. After ten years of observing blood, in 1996 he made the discovery which opened the door to photographing the stored frequencies in homeopathic and natural remedies and to researching the impact of positive or negative thoughts on bodily fluids. "Having studied the relationship between the brain, cells and emotions," he told Joseph Duggan in Vancouver, "I came to realize that certain trace elements were needed to send information from one area of the brain to another." Minerals alone could not convey information. To find out if the carrier was water itself, Dr. Schweitzer experimented. French scientist Jacques Bienveniste had already shed light on the memory of water in homeopathy. He and a dozen other scientists demonstrated that water can retain a memory of molecules it once contained. Nature magazine in 1988 published their experiments showing that if water containing antibodies was diluted repeatedly until it no longer contained a single molecule of antibody, immune cells still respond to the water. The publication drew outrage from orthodox professors, and the magazine later sent a team to Benveniste's laboratory including the magician James Randi and Walter Stewart, a self-appointed investigator of scientific fraud. The team judged the French scientists' results to be a "delusion." However, a recent book by Michel Schiff says the slander of Benveniste was the delusion. Dr. Schweitzer says, aspects of the homeopathic research couldn't be measured by the investigators' instruments. The witch hunt in France didn't stop him from radical thinking. He remembered Albert Einstein's idea that particulate "light bodies" act in ways we don't yet understand. Waking up one morning with insight on how to make these bodies visible, Schweitzer began working on a fluorescent microscope at a certain light intensity. He wanted to see somatids change in response to thought and other influences. Just before the water on the microscope slides evaporated, he saw certain formations develop "dependent on the thoughts or energy atmosphere it had been impregnated with." l observed that this cluster could be modified at will." Further work showed that microscopic light bodies in the water intensify in the presence of positive thoughts. They shine brightly if thoughts are backed up by emotion, and it makes a big difference whether the emotions are negative or positive. Intrigued by the tiny light-bodies, he tested holy waters of religious faiths, from Italy, Russia, Yugoslavia and North America and saw somatids floating even after years of being bottled on shelves. "This means there is an ideal balance when somatids never touch,' each other, which gives them the greatest capacity to store information." But when he studied homeopathic remedies, careful storage of energy medicine is crucial. French immunologist Jacques Benveniste had learned that electronic circuits can impress lasting information upon water, and low-frequency electromagnetic radiation and heat destroy homeopathic strength. Further, Dr. Schweitzer has a warning about purified water we buy in clear plastic bottles that have been exposed to fluorescent lighting. When we drink only this water, our lips dry out and become chapped and cracked. "Normally, drinking water does not dry out the mouth, but fluorescent lighting changes the structure of water such that it dries out the mucous membranes." Randy Ziesenus, of Edmund, Oklahoma, says anyone can personally improve the water they use. "It's amazing what happens when you take a glass of water and hold it between the palms of your hands and ask your higher Self to work with that water and whatever you need for your highest good. And then drink it; incredible what that little (ritual) does." Ziesenus is president of Bio-Com, a company that specializes in the development of biotechnology using radio-frequencies (RF) to alter water's bonding structure. 'He says "if you drink water that's harmonious to the human body, water will pass through the body within ten to 15 minutes. Then you've got to go to the restroom. The (harmonious) water will carry out toxins." One of his inventions condenses water from air." That's one of the biggest things I've been working on by using frequencies to draw moisture out of air." He and researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory are working on " a program where you can take a photocell device, put it out in the desert, and it will make a gallon of water overnight." The unit is powered by photovoltaic (electricity from sunlight). Ziesenus agrees with Dr. Scheitzer's claim that our AC electricity leaves a harmful imprint on water. At the Living Water conference, professor emeritus William Tiller quietly obliterated the conventional view that humans cannot meaningfully interact with their experiments, "Conventional science would even more emphatically state that specific human intentions could not be focused into a simple electronic device, which is then used to meaningfully influence an experiment in accord with the specific intention. We have made a valid test and found conventional science conclusion to be in serious error." In his work Dr. Tiller describes the people who are capable of sustaining high-coherence in intentions as "imprinters." They, for example, sit around the table while putting out the intention "to activate the indwelling consciousness of the system" so that the pH of the experimental, water increased or decreased significantly compared to the control. It did. How does he explain this? The theory used by Tiller and co-researcher Walter Dibble, Jr., is multidimensional. These scientists see water as a special material, "well suited for information/energy transfer from this frequency domain into our conventional domain of cognition, the physical." Regarding the factor of mental capability of whether imprinters know enough science to visualize changes in pH, Dr. Tiller said," the unseen intelligence of the universe is an even more important factor." Later he added," in my view it is the spark of Spirit in the cells that give rise to the life force." Another scientist at that meeting, Dr. Glen Rein, points out, that physicists know about the existence of energy fields with properties, which are not explained by classical equations. He refers to the non-classical fields as quantum fields. Rein's work again shows that this non-electromagnetic energy-information from the primordial vacuum of space- can be stored in water and can later communicate with living cells. Perhaps Viktor Schauberger's most startling observation was that subtle qualities of water can affect humans mentally and spiritually, either revitalization or deterioration of society. Dr. Thomas Narvaez has proven to his own satisfaction that a vitality factor exists and can be increased or decreased in water by human activity." We now see that our thoughts not only affect our own bodies, but also the bodies of those around us. Members of this group (speaking to the Institute of Advanced Water Sciences, in 1996 ) who bottled water or who worked with broadcasted energies like crystals or magnets therefore have a responsibility to keep our view of the world upbeat and positive." Are you starting to get a more clear picture of the forces involved in "plain old water?" Viktor Schauberger gave us most of the clues needed to truly unlock its secrets. Let's move onward and discover some of the secrets inside of Viktor's inventions...let's see what we can make of the "Repulsine" and the "implosion machine"...get ready for some surprises. |

Viktor Schauberger;
Time-Line Biography:
Viktor Schauberger: The Father OF Implosion Technology
Schauberger could be called the father of
implosion technology. The
implosion principle is, of course, diametrically
opposite to what today's explosion oriented
technology utilizes. Implosion has to do with
a self sustaining vortex flow of any liquid or
gaseous medium, which has a concentrating, ordering
effect and which decreases the temperature of the
medium, in opposition to the dictates of "modern"
thermodynamics.
Viktor Schauberger constructed water sluices, which, with controlled water temperature and vortex flow, were able to transport logs of a higher specific weight than would normally allow their transport on water. He proposed a more effective means of utilizing hydroelectric power by his jet turbine (see my article Water Power). In the second world war he was forced to develop his concepts of vortex dynamics at the service of Hitler's military goons, and, is said to have produced working prototypes of levitating disks using these principles. At the end of the war, the remains of his work fell partly into Russian, and American, military hands. After the war, Schauberger worked on a concept of water-based power generation, through vortex action, in a closed cycle engine. In 1958 he was brought to the USA, by promises of a possibility he would get his technology further developed and applied. Afterwards, he was thoroughly debriefed, his writings and prototypes were kept, and, he apparently had to sign a legal document and 'promise' not to promote his technology further - all so that he would simply be able to return home to Austria. Five days after his return to Austria - on 25 September 1958 - he died. A book that details some of the life story of Schauberger was written by Olof Alexandersson. The title is "Living Water", available below, through "AMAZON.COM."
Foreword: A Brief Introduction To Viktor Schauberger And His Work -
It was a Swedish engineer and anthroposophist,
Olof Alexandersson, who wrote the first popular
introduction to the radical ideas of Viktor
Schauberger. I came across this attractive little
book in 1999. Living Water is now in its
eighth printing and has inspired many to go on to
Callum Coats' in-depth study of Schauberger's ideas,
Living Energies, which was published in 1996.
Callum had met Viktor's son, Walter Schauberger, in
1977 and was to spend three years studying with
Walter at his Pythogoras-Keppler System Institute in
Lauffen, in the Saltzkammergut near Salzburg. During
that time, Callum was given access to all Viktor's
writings.
Viktor Schauberger did not start to seriously
write about his ideas and his discoveries until the
age of 44, when he acquired a distinguished sponsor
in Professor Philipp Forchheimer. As Callum describes
later in this volume, Forchheimer, a world famous
hydrologist, had been asked by the Austrian
Government to report on Schauberger's controversial
log flumes, which transported large amounts of timber
from inaccessible locations without damage. He was so
impressed with Schauberger's discoveries that he
asked him to write a paper which was published in
1930 in Die Wasserwirtschaft , the Austrian
Journal of Hydrology. This paper attracted the
attention of the President of the Austrian Academy of
Science, Professor Wilhelm Exner, and resulted in a
commission to write a more detailed study of his
theories for that same magazine under the title
Temperature and the Movement of Water.
Schauberger's ideas completely flew in the face
of conventional ideas of hydrology and water
management and, as a result, gained him many enemies
in scientific circles. The reason Viktor developed
the strong feelings about orthodox scientific
research that you will read in this and subsequent
volumes was partly to defend himself from their
attacks, and partly out of his despair at witnessing
the ongoing destruction of the natural environment by
their blind and uncaring technologies. It was this
despair that motivated him to write his only book,
Our Senseless Toil - the Cause of the World Crisis
. It was published at a time of severe depression
,when many were worried about the future.
After Forchheimer died, Schauberger found another
ally in Professor Werner Zimmermann who encouraged
Viktor in 1935-1936 to write about the damage being
wrought to the great rivers, the Rhine and the
Danube, in a small 'new thought' magazine Tau
. After Schauberger's death, two magazines published
further collections of Schauberger's writings:
Implosion was started by a student and
collaborator of Viktor's, and published a number of
his articles in the 1960s. Mensch und Technik
in the 1970s published articles by and about Viktor
Schauberger for the more free-thinking scientific
community.
Callum Coats has skillfully woven together these
articles, together with correspondence with other
scientists, friends and officials of one kind or
another, into a fascinating tapestry which gives a
true and very readable account of Schauberger's
impassioned campaign to alert the world to the
dangers of the prevailing scientific dogma.
Unfortunately, not much has changed, and
Schauberger's vision of how humanity could work
cooperatively with Nature is perhaps more relevant
than ever.
Callum arranged this massive amount of material
into a large volume, Eco-Technology. In
considering this for publication, they realized that
it would be much more accessible in several volumes,
arranged by theme. This first one, The Water
Wizard, is devoted to Schauberger's ideas about
water and rivers. The second, Nature as Teacher,
concerns the wider implications of his ideas on
water and energy. The third, The Fertile Earth,
describes the way trees transform energy, and
processes of fertilization of the soil . The
final volume, The Energy Revolution , gathers
together the discussion and description of
Schauberger's appliances for purifying and energizing
water and for producing vast amounts of virtually
free energy. Together with Living Energies,
the Eco-technology series give a complete
account of the vision and genius of one of the
founders of the present ecological movement, and are
an inspiration for all those who wish to see our
precious Earth saved from extinction by
short-sightedness and greed, and the emergence of a
new partnership with bountiful Nature. Again, you can

and will find the links to each book at the bottom of
this page. Let's continue...
the Natural Eco-Technological Theories of Viktor Schauberger
Viktor Schauberger (30 June 1885 - 25
September 1958) was born in Austria of a long line of
foresters stretching back some four hundred years. He
developed a gift for accurate and intuitive
observation so great that he was able to perceive the
natural energies and other phenomena occurring in
nature, which are still unrecognized by orthodox
science. Refusing to attend University at the age of
18, to the fury of his father, Viktor Schauberger
left home and spent a long period alone in the high,
remote forest, contemplating, pondering and observing
the many subtle energetic processes taking place in
Nature's laboratory, where they were still
undisturbed by human hand. During this period he
developed very profound and radical theories, later
to be confirmed practically, concerning water, the
energies inherent in it and its desired natural form
of motion. These eventually earned him the name of
'The Water Wizard'.
For the whole of his life he fought a running and
often acrimonious battle with academia and its
institutions, since his theories in the main were
diametrically opposed to the so-called established
facts of science. His practical demonstration of them
always functioned as he had theorized, however, for
he had come to understand the true inner workings of
Nature and was able to emulate them.
Viktor Schauberger's theories afford new insights
into the naturally correct or naturalesque management
of water. This encompasses its proper handling,
storage, and conduction by means that promote its
self-purification, the retention and enhancement of
its natural energies and health. In this book, the
close interrelationship between water and the forest
(as a water-producer - not a water consumer) is
examined. Also addressed is the problem of soil
salinity and how this comes about through
over-exposure of the soil to the radiance of the sun
through deforestation and faulty agricultural
practices, are also addressed. Indications are given
as to how these may be avoided and overcome, due to
Viktor Schauberger's radical and fundamentally new
understanding of the coming into being and
functioning of the groundwater table in relation to
soil temperature.
As a natural organism, water is formed and
functions according to Nature's laws and geometry,
the latter exhibiting none of the elements of the
straight line, circle and point, the basis of modern
mechanical and technological artifacts. Reflecting
Nature's principal constant, namely that of
continuous change and transformation, the vortex
epitomizes this form of open, fluid and flexible
motion. Through his study of the vortices occurring
naturally in flowing water and in the air in the form
of cyclones and tornadoes, Viktor Schauberger
developed his theories of implosion. It was through
the research and development of these theories that
he was able to produce spring-quality water and
generate considerable energies in and with water and
air.
In listing some of his accomplishments one could
not do better than to quote from his book, "Our
Senseless Toil", written in 1933: "It is
possible to regulate watercourses over any given
distance without embankment works; to transport
timber and other materials, even when heavier than
water, for example ore, stones, etc., down the centre
of such water-courses; to raise the height of the
water table in the surrounding countryside and to
endow the water with all those elements necessary for
the prevailing vegetation. Furthermore it is possible
in this way to render timber and other such materials
non-inflammable and rot resistant; to produce
drinking and spa-water for man, beast and soil of any
desired composition and performance artificially, but
in the way that it occurs in Nature; to raise water
in a vertical pipe without pumping devices; to
produce any amount of electricity and radiant energy
almost without cost; to raise soil quality and to
heal cancer, tuberculosis and a variety of nervous
disorders... the practical implementation of this ...
would without doubt signify a complete reorientation
in all areas of science and technology. By
application of these new found laws, I have already
constructed fairly large installations in the spheres
of log-rafting and river regulation, which as is
known, have functioned faultlessly for a decade, and
which today still present insoluble enigmas to the
various scientific disciplines concerned."
Water and its vital interaction with the forest
was Viktor's principal preoccupation. He viewed water
as a living entity, the 'Blood of Mother-Earth',
which is born in the womb of the forest. Our
mechanistic, materialistic and extremely superficial
way of looking at things, however, prevents us from
considering water to be anything other than
inorganic, i.e. supposedly without life but, while
apparently having no life itself, can nevertheless
miraculously create life in all its forms. Life is
movement and is epitomized by water, which is in a
constant state of motion and transformation, both
externally and internally. In confirmation of this
fact, water is able to combine with more substances
than any other molecule and, flowing as water, sap
and blood, is the creator of the myriad life-forms on
this planet. How then could it ever be construed as
life-less in accordance with the chemist's clinical
view of water, defined as the inorganic substance
H2O ? This short description is a
gross misrepresentation. As the fundamental basis of
all life, water is itself a living entity and should
be treated as such. Failure to do so quickly
transforms it into an enemy, rather than the nurturer
and furtherer of all life that it should be.
"This civilization is the work of man, who high-handedly and ignorant of the true workings of Nature, has created a world without meaning or foundation, which now threatens to destroy him, for through his behavior and his activities, he, who should be her master, has disturbed Nature's inherent unity."
Apart from the more familiar categories of
water, there are, according to Viktor Schauberger, as
many varieties of water as there are animals and
plants. Were water merely the sterile, distilled H2O
as claimed by science, it would be poisonous to
all living things. H2O or
'juvenile water' is sterile, distilled water and
devoid of any so-called 'impurities'. It has no
developed character and qualities. As a young,
immature, growing entity, it grasps like a baby at
everything within reach. It absorbs the
characteristics and properties of whatever it comes
into contact with or has attracted to itself in order
to grow to maturity. This "everything" - the
so-called "impurities"- takes the form of trace
elements, minerals, salts and even smells! Were we to
drink pure H2O constantly, it would
quickly leach out all our store of minerals and trace
elements, debilitating and ultimately killing us.
Like a growing child, juvenile water takes and does
not give. Only when mature, i.e. when suitably
enriched with raw materials, is it in a position to
give, to dispense itself freely and willingly, thus
enabling the rest of life to develop. Before the
birth of water, there was no life.
But what is this marvelous, colorless, tasteless
and odorless substance, which quenches our thirst
like no other liquid? Did we but truly understand the
essential nature of water - a living substance - we
would not treat it so churlishly, but would care for
it as if our lives depended on it, which undoubtedly
they do.
"The Upholder of the Cycles which supports
the whole of Life, is water. In every drop of water
dwells the Godhead, whom we all serve; there also
dwells Life, the Soul of the "First" substance -
Water - whose boundaries and banks are the
capillaries that guide it and in which it
circulates."More energy is encapsulated in every drop
of good spring water than an average-sized
PowerStation is presently able to produce. "
Indeed in accordance with the famous Hasenöhrl-Einstein
equation E = mc2 , in 1 gram of
substance, or 1 cubic centimeter of water, 25 million
kilowatt hours of energy are stored!
Water is a being that has life and death. With
incorrect, ignorant handling, however, it becomes
diseased, imparting this condition to all other
organisms, vegetable, animal and human alike, causing
their eventual physical decay and death, and in the
case of human beings, their moral, mental and
spiritual deterioration as well. From this it can be
seen just how vital it is, that water should be
handled and stored in such a way as to avert such
pernicious repercussions.
"Science views the blood-building and
character-influencing ur-organism" In Viktor
Schauberger's writings in German, the prefix 'Ur'
is often separated from the rest of the word by a
hyphen, e.g. ' Ur -sache' in lieu of 'Ursache',
when normally it would be joined. By this he intends
to place a particular emphasis on the prefix, thus
endowing it with a more profound meaning than the
merely superficial. This prefix belongs not only to
the German language, but in former times also to the
English, a usage which has now lapsed. According to
the Oxford English Dictionary, 'ur' denotes
'primitive', 'original', 'earliest', giving such
examples as ' ur -Shakespeare' or ' ur
-origin'. This begins to get to the root of Viktor's
use of it and the deeper significance he placed upon
it. If one expands upon the interpretation given in
the Oxford English Dictionary, then the concepts of
'primordial', 'primeval', 'primal', 'fundamental',
'elementary', 'of first principle', come to mind,
which further encompass such meanings as: -
pertaining to the first age of the world, or of
anything ancient; - pertaining to or existing from
the earliest beginnings;- constituting the earliest
beginning or starting point;- from which something
else is derived, developed or depends;- applying to
parts or structures in their earliest or rudimentary
stage; - the first or earliest formed in the course
of growth. To this can be added the concept of an '
ur -condition' or ' ur -state' of
extremely high potential or potency, a latent
evolutionary ripeness, which given the correct
impulse can unloose all of Nature's innate creative
forces. In the English text, therefore, the prefix "ur"
will also be used wherever it occurs in the original
German and the reader is asked to bear the above in
mind when reading what follows. "'Water', when
looked at as merely a chemical compound that provides
millions of people with a liquid is absurd; from this
point of view, it is everything but healthy
water." But what does modern, de-naturised
civilization care, as long as it receives a suitably
hygienised, clear liquid to shower, wash its dishes,
clothes and cars. Once down the plug-hole in company
with all manner of toxic chemicals and detergents,
all is comfortingly out of sight and out of mind.
"Our primeval Mother Earth is an organism
that no science in the world can rationalize.
Everything on her that crawls and flies is dependent
upon Her and all must hopelessly perish if that Earth
dies that feeds us." Although the chlorination of
drinking and household water-supplies ostensibly
removes the threat of water-borne diseases, it does
so, however, to the detriment of the consumer. In its
function of water sterilizer or disinfectant,
chlorine eradicates all types of bacteria, beneficial
and harmful alike. More importantly, however, it also
disinfects the blood (about 80% water) or sap (ditto)
and in doing so kills off or seriously weakens many
of the immunity-enhancing micro-organisms resident in
the body of those organisms constantly forced to
consume it. This eventually impairs their immune
systems to such a degree that they are no longer able
to eject viruses, germs and cancer cells, to which
the respective host-bodies ultimately falls victim.
The appearance of AIDS, therefore, and the
enormous increase in all forms of disease, cancer in
particular, would have come as no surprise to Viktor
Schauberger. Apart from the other inevitable
disturbances to the ecology and the environment
occasioned by humanity's unthinking activities, he
foresaw it all as early as 1933.
"For a person who lives 100 years in the
future, the present comes as no surprise."
Apart from other factors (some cannot be defined
quantitatively), encompassing such aspects as
turbidity (opaqueness), impurity, and quality, the
most crucial factor affecting the health and energy
of water is temperature.
As a liquid, the behavior of water differs from
all other fluids. The latter become consistently and
steadily denser with cooling, water reaches its
densest state at a temperature of +4o C
(+39.2o F), below which it grows less
dense. In contrast, water's behavior is anomalous,
because it reaches its greatest density at a
temperature of +4oC (+39.2oF).
This is the so-called 'anomaly point', or the point
of water's anomalous expansion, which is decisive in
this regard and has a major influence on its quality.
Below this temperature it once more expands. This
highest state of density is synonymous with its
highest energy content, a factor to be taken
carefully into account, since energy can also be
equated with life or life-force. Therefore if water's
health, energy and life-force are to be maintained at
the highest possible level, then certain precautions
must be taken, which will be addressed later.
Conceived in the cool, dark cradle of the virgin
forest, water ripens and matures as it slowly mounts
from the depths. On its upward way it gathers to
itself trace elements and minerals. Only when it is
ripe, and not before, will it emerge from the womb of
the Earth as a spring. As a true spring, in contrast
to a seepage spring, this has a water temperature of
about +4oC (+39.2oF). Here in
the cool, diffused light of the forest it begins its
long, life-giving cycle as a sparkling, lively,
translucent stream, bubbling, gurgling, whirling and
gyrating as it wends its way valley wards. In its
natural, self-cooling, spiraling, convoluting motion,
water is able to maintain its vital inner energies,
health and purity. In this way it acts as the
conveyor of all the necessary minerals, trace
elements and other subtle energies to the surrounding
environment. Naturally flowing water seeks to flow in
darkness or in the diffused light of the forest, thus
avoiding the damaging direct light of the sun. Under
these conditions, even when cascading down in
torrents, a stream will only rarely overflow its
banks. Due to its correct natural motion, the faster
it flows, the greater its carrying capacity and
scouring ability and the more it deepens its bed.
This is due to the formation of in-winding,
longitudinal, clockwise - anti-clockwise alternating
spiral vortices down the central axis of the current,
which constantly cool and re-cool the water,
maintaining it at a healthy temperature and leading
to a faster, more laminar, spiral flow.
To protect itself from harmful effects of excess
heat, water shields itself from the sun with
over-hanging vegetation, for with increasing heat and
light it begins to lose its vitality and health, its
capacity to enliven and animate the environment
through which it passes. Ultimately becoming a broad
river, the water becomes more turbid, the content of
small-grain sediment and silt increasing as it warms
up, its flow becoming slower and more sluggish.
However, even this turbidity plays an important role,
because it protects the deeper water-strata from the
heating effect of the sun. Being in a denser state,
the colder bottom-strata retain the power to shift
sediment of larger grain-size (pebbles, gravel, etc.)
from the centre of the watercourse. In this way the
danger of flooding is reduced to a minimum. The
spiral, vortical motion mentioned earlier,
which eventually led Viktor Schauberger to the
formation of his theories concerning 'implosion',
creates the conditions, where the germination of
harmful bacteria is inhibited and the water remains
disease-free.
Another of its life-giving properties is its high
specific heat - lowest at +37.5oC (+99.5oF).
The term "specific heat" refers to the capacity and
rapidity of a body to absorb or release heat. With a
relatively small input of heat fluids with a high
specific heat warm up less rapidly than those with a
lower specific heat. How strange then, and how
remarkable, that the lowest specific heat of this
"inorganic" substance - water - lies but 0.5oC
(0.9oF) above the normal +37oC
(+98.6oF) blood temperature of the most
highly evolved of Nature's creatures - human beings.
This property of water to resist rapid thermal change
enables us, with blood composed of 80% water, to
survive under large variations of temperature. Pure
accident so we are told, or is it by clever,
symbiotic design ?! However, since we are used to
thinking about temperature in gross terms (car
engines operate at temperatures of 1,000oC
(1,832oF) or so and many industrial
processes employ extremely high temperatures) and
despite the fact that we begin to feel unwell if our
temperature rises by as little as 0.5oC
(0.9oF), we fail to see that
non-mechanical, organic life and health are based on
very subtle differences in temperature. When our body
temperature is +37oC (98.6oF)
we do not have a 'temperature' as such. We are
healthy and in a state that Viktor Schauberger called
'indifferent' or 'temperature-less'. Just as good
water is the preserver of our proper bodily
temperature, our anomaly point of greatest health and
energy, so too does it preserve this planet as a
habitat for our continuing existence. Water has the
capacity to retain large amounts of heat and were
there no water vapor in the atmosphere, this world of
ours would be an icy-cold, barren wasteland. Water in
all its forms and qualities is thus the mediator of
all life and deserving of the highest focus of our
esteem.
"To Be or Not to Be: In Nature all life is a
question of the minutest, but extremely precisely
graduated differences in the particular thermal
motion within every single body, which continually
changes in rhythm with the processes of pulsation.
This unique law, which manifests itself throughout
Nature's vastness and unity and expresses itself in
every creature and organism, is the ' law of
ceaseless cycles' that in every organism is linked to
a certain time span and a particular tempo. The
slightest disturbance of this harmony can lead to the
most disastrous consequences for the major life
forms. In order to preserve this state of
equilibrium, it is vital that the characteristic
inner temperature of each of the millions of
micro-organisms contained in the macro-organisms be
maintained."
The No. 1 enemy of water is excess heat or
over-exposure to the sun's rays. It is a well-known
fact that oxygen is present in all processes of
organic growth and decay. Whether its energies are
harnessed for either one or the other is to a very
great extent, if not wholly, dependent on the
temperature of the water as itself or in the form of
blood or sap. As long as the water-temperature is
below +9oC (+48.2oF), its
oxygen content remains passive. Under such conditions
the oxygen assists in the building up of beneficial,
high-grade micro-organisms and other organic life.
However, if the water temperature rises above this
level, then the oxygen becomes increasingly active
and aggressive. This aggressiveness increases as the
temperature rises, promoting the propagation of
pathogenic bacteria, which, when drunk with the
water, infest the organism of the drinker.
"Thus the development of micro-organisms and
the opportunities for their propagation are simply a
result of the condition in which the respective
sickening macro-organism finds itself, which will be
attacked by these parasites and which eventually must
fall victim to them if its inner climatic conditions
are no longer strictly regulated."
But this aggressiveness is not confined to the
domain of oxygen alone. When water becomes
over-heated, due principally to the increasingly
widespread clear-felling of the forest, the
health-maintaining pattern of longitudinal vortices
changes into transverse ones. These not only
undermine and gouge into the riverbanks and
embankment works, eventually bursting them, but also
create pot-holes in the riverbed itself, bringing
even greater disorder to an already chaotic
channel-profile.
According to Viktor Schauberger, water subjected
to these conditions loses its character, its soul.
Like humans of low character, it becomes increasingly
violent and aggressive as it casts about hither and
thither seeking to vent its anger and restore to
itself its former health and stability.
However, due to the senseless malpractice of the
clear-felling of forests, we are destroying the very
foundation of life. For with the removal of the
forest, two very serious things happen:
1). During its flow to the sea, the water warms up
prematurely to such an extent that it is warmed right
down to the channel-bed. No cool, dense, water-strata
remain and the sediment is left lying on the bottom.
This blocks the flow, dislocates the channel and
results in the inevitable, often catastrophic floods.
Yet we still have the effrontery to call these
awesome events 'natural disasters', as if Nature
herself were responsible. Furthermore, due to the
broadening of the channel, even more water is exposed
to the sun's heat, resulting in over-rapid
evaporation to the atmosphere. In many cases this
overloads the atmosphere with water-vapor, which it
is unable to retain in suspension. Deluges follow.
2). With the forest-cover now removed, the ground
also begins to heat up to temperatures much higher
than normal and natural. Dry soil heats up as much as
five times faster than water. This has a two-fold
effect:
a). The rejection and repulsion by the warmer
soil of any incident rain-water, whose temperature in
this case is generally lower. Cold rain will not
readily infiltrate into warm soil. This results in
rapid surface run-off and no groundwater recharge.
The soil dries out.
b). An increase in pathogenic microbial activity,
harmful to plant life.
The upshot of all this is more flooding,
reduced groundwater quantity and lower groundwater
table. One flood therefore begets the next in rapid
succession. But since there is no groundwater
recharge, the water-balance and natural distribution
are completely upset. The remaining trees - the vital
retainers of water - die, leaving the land barren and
desiccated with the necessary sequel of drought. The
less the tree-cover, the more extensive the flooding
and the longer the period of drought, of water-lessness,
which is synonymous with life-lessness !
Unnatural, quantity-inspired forestry practices,
ignorant of Nature's laws, and the over-warming of
the soil arising from massive deforestation are the
primary causes of the deterioration in water quality,
climate and the sinking of the water table. The
channeling of water through straight, unnaturally
constructed, trapezoid canals, steel pipelines and
other misguided systems of river regulation also
force the water to move in an unnatural way and
accelerate its degeneration and increase its
disease-carrying capacity.
"Wherever we look the dreadful
disintegration of the bridges of life, the
capillaries and the bodies they have created, is
evident, which has been caused by the mechanical and
mindless work of man, who has torn away the soul from
the Earth's blood - water. The more the engineer
endeavors to channel water, of whose spirit and
nature he is today still ignorant, by the shortest
and straightest route to the sea, the more the flow
of water weighs into the bends, the longer its path
and the worse the water will become. The spreading of
the most terrible disease of all, of cancer , is the
necessary consequence of such unnatural regulatory
works. These mistaken activities - our work - must
legitimately lead to increasingly widespread
unemployment, because our present methods of working,
which have a purely mechanical basis, are already
destroying not only all of wise Nature's formative
processes, but first and foremost the growth of the
vegetation itself, which is being destroyed even as
it grows. The drying up of mountain springs, the
change in the whole pattern of motion of the
groundwater, and the disturbance in the blood
circulation of the organism - Earth - is the direct
result of modern forestry practices. The pulse-beat
of the Earth was factually arrested by the modern
timber production industry. Every economic death of a
people is always preceded by the death of its
forests. The forest is the habitat of water and as
such the habitat of life processes too, whose quality
declines as the organic development of the forest is
disturbed. Ultimately, due to a law which functions
with awesome constancy, it will slowly but surely
come around to our turn. Our accustomed way of
thinking in many ways, and perhaps even without
exception, is opposed to the true workings of Nature.
Our work is the embodiment of our will. The spiritual
manifestation of this work is its effect. When such
work is carried out correctly, it brings happiness,
but when carried out incorrectly, it assuredly brings
misery."
There is only one solution! Would we live and
ensure a sustainable future then we must plant trees
for our very lives, but far more importantly, we have
a duty to do it for those of our children.
More immediately, however, we must care for the
very limited stocks of water still available. This
means treating it in the way demonstrated to us by
Nature. First and foremost, water should be protected
from sunlight and kept in the dark, far removed from
all sources of heat, light and atmospheric
influences. Ideally it should be placed in opaque,
porous containers, which on the one hand cut out all
direct light and heat, and on the other, allow the
water to breathe, which in common with all other
living things, it must do in order to stay alive and
healthy. In terms of what we can achieve personally,
we should at all times ensure that our storage
vessels, tanks, etc., are thoroughly insulated, so
that the contained water is maintained at the coolest
temperature possible under the prevailing conditions.
The materials most suited to this are natural stone,
timber (wooden barrels) and terracotta. Perhaps more
than any other material, terracotta has been used for
this purpose for millennia. Terracotta exhibits a
porosity particularly well-suited to purposes of
water storage. This is because it enables a very
small percentage of the contained water to evaporate
via the vessel walls. Evaporation is always
associated with cooling (vaporization, however, with
heat) and, according to Walter Schauberger (Viktor's
physicist son), if the porosity is correct, then for
every 600th part of the contents evaporated, the
contents will be cooled by 1oC (1.8oF),
thus approaching a temperature of +4oC
(+39.2oF).
While the material for the construction of a
water-storage vessel has been addressed above,
another important factor is the actual shape of the
container itself. Most of the storage containers
commonly in use today take the form of cubes,
rectangular volumes of one form or another, or
cylinders. While these are the shapes most easily and
economically produced by today's technology, they do
have certain drawbacks in terms of impeding natural
water circulation and water suffocation. Due to their
rectangular shape and/or right-angled corners,
certain stagnant zones are created, conducive to the
formation of pathogenic bacteria. Moreover, since the
materials used are generally galvanized iron, fiber
glass, concrete, etc., i.e. all impervious materials,
the contained water is unable to breathe adequately
and suffocates as a result. In this debilitated state
or as a water-corpse, it is no longer either healthy
or health-giving and may require further
disinfection.
Should we now make a study of those shapes that
Nature chooses to propagate and maintain life, it
soon becomes apparent that the cubes and cylinders
mentioned above have no place in Nature's scheme of
things. Instead, eggs and elongated egg-shapes such a
grains and seeds are employed, presumably because
Nature in her wisdom has determined that these
produce the optimal results. Historically speaking,
it is evident that earlier civilizations such as the
Egyptians and Greeks, renown for their logic and
constructional ability, were well aware of this,
because they stored their grains and liquids (oils,
wines, etc.) in terracotta amphorae, sealed with
beeswax. All this despite the fact that for all
rational, practical purposes, the shape was wholly
unsuited to compact and efficient storage in terms of
space and ease of handling. It is obvious that the
selection of this form over any other was intentional
and as the result of certain knowledge of the
long-term storage properties of such shapes. In many
amphorae that have surfaced in archaeological
excavations over the last 100 years or so, grains of
wheat have been found that were still viable and even
after storage over 2,000 years, grew when planted.
This fact alone should suffice to affirm the efficacy
of the properties of vessels of such shape.
Taking Viktor Schauberger's exhortation,
"Comprehend and copy Nature!" as our guide, we
should therefore make use of the shapes that Nature
herself selects to contain, guard and maintain life,
i.e. eggs and their derivations.
Compared with cubes and cylinders, these shapes have
no stagnant zones, no right-angled corners that
inhibit flowing movement. By placing our terracotta
vessels in shaded areas, exposed to air movement, the
evaporative cooling effect will be significantly
enhanced and since all natural movement of liquids
and gases is triggered by differences in temperature,
so too inside the egg-shaped storage vessel,
cyclical, spiral, vitalizing movement of the water
will be induced.
Movement is an expression of energy and energy is
synonymous with life. The external evaporation causes
cooling of the outer walls and the water in their
immediate vicinity. Being cooler and therefore
denser, this water becomes specifically heavier and
sinks down along the walls towards the bottom at the
same time forcing the water there to rise up the
centre and move towards the outside walls. Continual
repetition of this process results in the constant
circulation and cooling of the contents.
Having discussed the above ideal storage vessel
and in view of the fact that they are presently not
available on the market, it would be a sorry
omission, if methods of improving existing
installations were not also addressed. The main
factor to be taken into account here is that of
exposure to light and heat. Where possible, all
above-ground water tanks, whether of galvanized iron,
fiber-glass or concrete, should be insulated on all
sides and external surfaces through the application
of sprayed foam or equivalent thermal barrier to a
minimum thickness of 75mm. If not already white or of
a light, heat-reflecting color, then it should be so
painted. For in-ground tanks, the top surface only
need be insulated and rendered white in color.
For many people dams or rivers provide the main
source of water and certain simple measures can be
taken to improve the quality of the water obtained
from them. Providing the surrounding soil is not
impervious to water, a hole of suitable dimension,
depth and capacity (say 1,000 - 2,000 liters) should
be dug about 5 - 10 meters from the banks of the dam
or river. If possible the depth should be equal to
the depth of the latter. Wells dug next to dams
should be situated above the highest water level. If
the consistency of the soil is permeable enough, then
water will percolate through the intervening soil and
into the newly excavated well. Depending on the
stability and load-bearing capacity of the soil (a
structural engineer should be consulted it there is
any doubt), a small concrete, perimeter footing
should be placed at a safe and stable distance from
the rim of the well. When the concrete has cured and
set firmly, then a minimum of 1 course of blocks
should be laid to prevent the entry of any surface
water. In the case of wells next to rivers, however,
it may be necessary to raise the height of the block
work to just above the average height of flood waters
to prevent contamination of the well water during
floods.
The well should then be totally enclosed and
sealed with a well-insulated timber and sheet-metal
roof, or a concrete slab, and provided with an access
hatch to service the pump and/or suction pipe and
foot-valve. Preferably the pump should be located
outside the well-space to avoid any possible oil
pollution, etc.
The reason for having the 1,000 - 2,000 liter
storage capacity mentioned earlier, is that it may
only be possible to pump water intermittently,
because the rate of replenishment from the main water
source may be fairly slow, depending on the
permeability of the soil. In the event that the soil
surrounding a dam or a river is impervious, then it
would be necessary to excavate a channel about 600 mm
wide between the well and the main water body. The
lower part of this should be filled with clean,
quartz sand to a depth of about 600 mm and the upper
part back-filled with the excavated material and
compacted. As the water percolates through either the
existing soil or the emplaced sand most suspended
matter will be filtered out. Also, because the water
accesses the well at the lowest level, the water
actually transferred from the main water source to
the well will be as cool as possible under the
prevailing conditions. In this state it is less
likely to harbor harmful, pathogenic bacteria, which
tend to populate the upper, more highly oxygenated
strata of the main water body.
The adoption of such measures on the author's own
property produced an extremely clear, clean, odorless
and good tasting water. Despite all outward
appearances, however, it is still advisable to have
such water tested for quality, purity and any
possible contaminants by the responsible authorities.
In terms of its mineral, salt and trace-element
content, river-water would generally be far richer
than tank-water (rainwater). With reference to the
immature and mature water discussed at the beginning,
in most cases it would be necessary to supplement the
mineral content of rainwater, if this is the only
source of drinking water, in order to prevent the
extraction of these from the body of the drinker.
Here the suspension of an artificial-fiber sack
(rot-proof) containing the dust of crushed basalt or
other igneous rock used for road building (commonly
known as 'crusher dust') would do much to enhance the
composition of the tank water, because it will
hungrily absorb those elements it requires to become
mature. However, before adding any crusher dust to
the water, it would be again advisable to test the
resulting change in the quality by analyzing the
difference between two samples of tank water, one
with crusher-dust added and one without as a control.
Both samples should then be placed in a cool, dark
place and left for at least a week before analysis of
the mineral content, bacterial purity, etc. is
carried out. This should be done by a suitably
qualified specialist.
These suggestions for improving water quality are
the result of my personal experience and
understanding of Viktor Schauberger's pioneering
discoveries and theories. Viktor Schauberger's great
dictum, frequently asserted, was " C2 -
Comprehend & Copy Nature ", for it was only thus
that humanity could emerge from its present
crisis-stricken condition. "They call me deranged.
The hope is that they are right! It is of no greater
or lesser import for yet another fool to wander this
Earth. But if I am right and science is wrong, then
may the Lord God have mercy on mankind!"
Indeed at the Stuttgart University of
Technology, West Germany in 1952 these theories were
tested under strict scientific and laboratory
conditions by Professor Dr. Ing. Franz Pöpel, a
hydraulics specialist. These tests showed that, when
water is allowed to flow in its naturally ordained
manner, it actually generates certain energies,
ultimately achieving a condition that could be termed
'negative friction'. Checked and double-checked, this
well-documented, but largely unpublicized, pioneering
discovery not only vindicated Viktor Schauberger's
theories. It also over-turned the hitherto
scientifically sacred 'Second Law of Thermodynamics'
in which, without further or continuous input of
energy, all (closed) systems must degenerate into a
condition of total chaos or entropy. These
experiments proved that this law, whilst it applies
to all mechanical systems, does not apply wholly to
living organisms.
As a result of these discoveries, it was arranged
that Viktor Schauberger be taken to the United States
in 1958, where sums amounting potentially to many
millions of dollars could be made available as
start-capital for a Los Alamos-like venture to
develop Viktor Schauberger's theories of Implosion.
He was accompanied by his son, Walter Schauberger, a
physicist and mathematician, to assist in the
scientific interpretation of his father's theories.
Soon after arrival, however, various
misunderstandings developed, too complex to elaborate
here, whereupon Viktor Schauberger fell silent and
refused to participate. After some three months of
silence the project was abandoned. Viktor and Walter
Schauberger were then permitted to return to Austria,
where Viktor died in Linz some five days later on the
25th September 1958, a very disillusioned man.
On their return journey, Viktor asked Walter to
translate his theories of Implosion into terms of
physics, geometry and mathematics, in such manner
that their veracity was irrefutable. Because Viktor
Schauberger's concepts broke new ground, this
presented some difficulty. There was no adequate
scientific terminology to describe them, nor was
there any mathematical basis from which the necessary
shapes could be precisely defined or constructed.
With his own devices and apparatuses, Viktor
Schauberger had also encountered problems of
construction, which in part affected the optimum
functioning of these machines, because the state and
sophistication of the technology then avail-able was
inadequate and too cumbersome to build them properly
and accurately.
The vital development of a new technology,
harmonious and conforming to Nature's laws, demands a
radical and fundamental change in our way of thinking
and to our approach to the interpretation of the
established doctrines and facts of physics,
chemistry, agriculture, forestry and water
management. As a pointer as to how such a new
technology should come about, let me quote Viktor
Schauberger once more:
""How else should it be done then?", was always the immediate question. The answer is simple: "Exactly in the opposite way that it is done today!""

The Beginnings of Genius :
In the district where Schauberger lived and worked, there had been no interference in the balance of Nature and Viktor was thus able to observe events that are today inconceivable, and which no longer take place (because of the enormous deterioration of the environment). It was here that he acquired the insights i
