two forms of energy production is fundamental to the quality of any
process in our world.
Not only does this implosion technology produce much more
energy than the 'explosive' methods currently employed, but it cre-
ates no waste, pollution, global warming or other damage to Earth's
fragile ecosystems. Schauberger invented a number of 'over-unity'
machines that produced a substantial excess of power over input.
These included means of propulsion for aircraft, submarines, and
cars; different devices that produced power, coolness or heat for the
home, and invaluable machines for making high quality springwa-
ter from polluted water. Unfortunately the working models were
destroyed at the end of the Second World War, and his detailed
drawings are missing.
His descriptions of these appliances have inspired a number of
inventors searching for 'free energy' generation. It seems that no-
one has quite succeeded in replicating one of Viktor's, but there are
some promising devices ready to go into production. The main
obstacles to their introduction include personal harassment from
agents of the energy 'establishment,' the lack of imagination by
politicians and investors, and the vested interests of the fossil fuel
industries, whose lobbying of government is bent on delaying as
long as possible the day when people will be able to gain their true
independence by producing cheaply their own power needs at
home, as Schauberger envisaged.
The visionary
What we have to take on board, as it were, is the extent to which the
degraded energies of our present technologies are polluting the
world, both from excess heat, but more particularly because they
not only block or impede the natural productive and healing ener-
gies, but actually encourage degeneration. We can reduce global
warming by significant reductions in CO 2 emissions. But we cannot
hope for the long-term survival of humanity without ditching our
current technology models for those that are wholeheartedly
Nature-friendly. Schauberger shows us the way ahead. For example,
ecotechnologies are being introduced into the fragile Himalayan
ecosystems of Ladakh, as a means of securing economic self-suffi-
ciency for a proud people who are losing their independence in the
face of imposed economic exploitation from outside.^3
