Callum Coats in his fourth volume of the Eco-Technology series,
Energy Evolution, brings together Viktor Schauberger s notes, com-
ments and discussions that have survived the appropriation of the
Soviet and American authorities. In that fascinating volume the
machines discussed are the Air-turbine machine, Water-driven and
Air-driven implosion machines, the Repulsator, the Klimator and the
Repulsine. Sadly, the text often refers to sketches that are missing.
The Air-turbine machine created an artificial thunderstorm,
operating on the principle of the tornado. Schauberger envisaged
this as a fuel-less silent engine to power an aircraft by creating a
vacuum in front to pull it forward. The Water and Air-driven implo-
sion machines operated on the principle of a powerful vacuum; he
designed a submarine using a water-driven implosion motor. The
Klimator was a cooling or heating machine designed for domestic
air conditioning.
There is no doubt that Viktor Schauberger produced a number
of impressive and highly innovative machines for various purposes,
and we have eye witness accounts of the operation of some, as well
as some of his notes. However, any prototypes or working models
were either destroyed in Germany during the war, or were expropri-
ated from his flat by the Russians who first occupied Vienna, or con-
fiscated by the Americans when they overran the Leonstein works
at war's end, or by the Donner-Gerchsheimer consortium, who spir-
ited him away to Texas in their ill-fated attempt to acquire his secret
knowledge.
In the meantime it must be noted that there is no proof that any
of them reliably produced over a significant period the power that
was intended.
There are a number of people in America and Australia working
on Schauberger s ideas, though the political climate has repressed
development of their work. Let us hope that if these conditions
improve, we might see modifications of some of Viktor's machines
making their appearance. We shall be examining in the next chap-
ter some of the new initiatives that have been inspired by Viktor's
research.
The tragedy of Viktor Schauberger's life was of being born into a
society with little interest in his dream of helping humanity become
empowered and free. Instead, to his intense sadness and heartacheHIDDEN NATURE
