18. Harnessing Implosion Power
'In the whole machine there is no straight line and no circle.'
(Viktor Schauberger's comment to a visitor to his workshop in 1936.)Arthur C. Clarke, the futurologist, recently commented that we were
on the verge of a breakthrough in how we access energy. This was
before the giant aerospace company Boeing of Seattle announced
new research with a practical anti-gravity device developed by the
Russian scientist Evgeny Podkletnov.
The obvious area that would be affected is transport; space
travel would suddenly become easy. Aircraft could carry us swiftly
and silently without polluting the atmosphere. Surface transport
could become swift and cheap. Building methods could be trans-
formed; it could even help with advances in medicine.
But the principal gain would be virtually free, unpolluting
energy, which could be produced even in our own homes. Gone
would be the necessity to be dependent on an expensive national
grid. These changes might not happen smoothly, because political
and economic power revolves around the carbon industry, princi-
pally oil, and the utilities. Are these power brokers going to give up
their control without a fight? Additionally our present, morally
bankrupt societies seem always to give the military industries first
choice of employing new technologies.
Because Podkletnov's invention was inspired by Viktor
Schauberger's research, it might be interesting to follow how his dis-
covery of anti-gravity came from devices he had developed through
observing Nature.
The beginnings of implosion research
During the 1920s, Viktor Schauberger had made a bit of money (as
well as a reputation) by building his revolutionary log flumes. This
enabled him to design a prototype power plant to extract energy
directly from air and water, based on the powerful energies he had
identified in Nature. The first experiments he undertook with a
Viennese engineer, Dr Winter, in 1931-32 were inconclusive, and
