tree.)Producing energy from the ocean
Viktor Schauberger alluded to the simplicity of emulating the
dynamics of true springs for generating energy, although he gave no
details. Having gained some insight into Schauberger's thinking, Cal-
lum Coats described how this might be done, publishing the process,
so that no commercial company would be able to patent the idea.
Describing the formation of true springs, we spoke of the deep
groundwater having had its oxygen content removed by needy roots
and organisms on its journey through the soil, but having instead a
concentration of the female fructigenic carbones. At its most dense
at the +4°C (39°F) deep stratum, it is squeezed and can be lifted up
to the highest mountain tops.
The water of the ocean deeps is in a similar condition of density
at the +4°C (39°F) deep stratum, but also under high pressure
because of the enormous weight of water above it. A long pipe would
be lowered from the surface of the ocean to allow this oxygen-hun-
gry water to rise in order to drive electric generators at the surface.
This would not be a viable system, however, without some essen-
tial additions that Schauberger added to increase the power of the
rising abyssal water (Fig. 10.3). The pipe would be of double-spiral
design, with vortex-inducing vanes similar to those used in the
Stuttgart experiment (see Chapter 14). The bottom end of the pipe
would have a tangentially-arranged vortex inducer, as well as a
strainer to keep out marine creatures.
At a water level nearer to the surface, atmospheric air would
enter through a one-way filter in order to introduce oxygen to the
hungry abyssal water. (The filter would accept the smaller oxygen
molecule, but exclude the larger water molecule.) On absorbing the
oxygen, the rising water warms and rapidly expands with sufficient
power to drive the generators, which would not be of the conven-
tional design that destroys the water's structure, but with cen-
tripetal impellers that improve the quality of the water.^2
