potential of the Schauberger physics tried, sadly without success, to
interest Clement Atlee's UK government in supporting Walter and
Viktor's implosion research.
Instead, Baker brought Walter to England in 1950 to lecture to
and dialogue with top scientists. First, at Oxford, there was a gath-
ering of physicists, chemists and forestry researchers, who affected
polite interest, but refrained from comment. However, at Cambridge
Sir James Chadwick, who with Rutherford had first split the atom,
was most impressed with Walter, introducing him to other atomic
physicists.
A group of top atomic physicists at Birmingham showed lively
interest in this new physics, and admitted to being inspired. A few
weeks later Baker was again in Birmingham, and asked the scien-
tists if they had held a postmortem on Schauberger's presentation.
'Yes, indeed,' they admitted; they had decided that it was 'unchal-
lengeable.' 'Then what are you going to do about it?' asked Baker.
'Nothing,' was their retort.'Why not?' 'Because it would mean rewrit-
ing all the textbooks in the world.'^10The repulsator
Viktor started work on this machine (Fig. 18.2) early in the 1930s.
It was designed to convert degenerated or distilled water into invig-
orating fresh water with the qualities of a mountain spring. A 10-
litre egg-shaped vessel made of copper, with some active surfaces
silver-plated, was used, insulated to retain the biomagnetic and bio-
electrical energies. A powered impeller near the pointed base cre-
ated alternating right and left handed vortices in the water body,
duplicating the negatively and positively charged longitudinal vor-
tices at the bends of naturally flowing rivers. It was inevitable that
for his energy-generating machines Viktor Schauberger would
choose the egg as it is the only closed shape that will naturally gen-
erate vortical movement.
The in-rolling and out-rolling movement allows the water to
absorb carbon dioxide and various trace elements that are added in
a specific order to approximate the chemical composition of moun-
tain spring water. Some four litres of water are drained off while car-
bon dioxide is introduced. Once the motor has been started, the
carbon dioxide is absorbed into the water. Through the vortical
action and resultant cooling, it is changed into carbonic acid, which
