once the initial impetus has been received, no further energy input
is required. In other words, energy is not a constant. In this case it
was increased through the emergence of fifth or sixth dimensional
dynagens (see Chapter 2) created by what Schauberger called 'orig-
inal' or 'cosmic' movement. Popel did, however, admit that in
Schauberger's special pipe, friction at two specific velocities
appeared to reduce to zero.
The circulation of blood
It is a common experience for those who use the ancient practice
of watching the breath when they meditate, of the strange sensa-
tion of 'being breathed;' that the process seems to be part of a
'greater breathing.' Viktor Schauberger would often insist in a sim-
ilar vein, that a bird 'is flown and a fish 'is swum.' On many occa-
sions he said that the heart is not a pump, that it 'is pumped.' He
saw the heart, rather, as a regulator or of blood flow. The spurts of
blood that the heart produces during contraction are more like the
automatic reaction to having been full, like the outbreath of the
lungs.
The Stuttgart experiment had established that when the water
flow was in resonance with the configuration of the pipe, there was
no friction. Similarly the blood being in resonance with the arter-
ies and capillaries greatly facilitates flow. In addition the blood
vessels have a natural pulsating, peristaltic action. About 1927,
Professor Kurt Bergel of Berlin University recorded this automatic
pulsation a few days after incubation in small warm blood vessels
around the egg sac of a bird's egg, although no heart had yet been
formed. Professor Bergel also rejected the popular theory of the
heart as a pump, insisting that this function was carried out by 'the
millions of highly active capillaries permeating the body,' and that
'health and disease are primarily dependent on the faultless or
disturbed activity of the capillaries.'^23
It appears that the pulsation of the capillaries initiate the circu-
lation of the blood, augmented by the configuration of the blood
vessels themselves.^24 The specifications for these would have been
created with the original energy blueprint for hot-blooded creatures
in general, and the human being in particular (see Chapter 2).
Included in these specifications was even a provision that the vis-
cosity of the blood would be reduced in the finer blood vessels, so
