April 2006 - Alternative Technology
Up one levelIn April, we would like to invite you onto a journey into the realms of alternative technology. We want to introduce you to the work of select scientists who have developed means and applications that are not in common use. Even their existence might not be common knowledge. Tune in and be surprised.
- R. Buckminster Fuller - Synergetics and Design Revolution
- R. Buckminster Fuller, probably the most prolific inventor and developer of ideas since Leonardo Da Vinci, based his life-long work for the prosperity of humanity on the idea, that the industrial production system which was built up over the course of two world wars should now be dedicated entirely to peaceful means and benefit as many people as possible. Fuller developed cars, houses, construction materials, designed whole cities and has filed so many inventions with the patent office that the list would fill pages upon pages. Today we want to take you on a tour through the life and achievements of this remarkable character.

- Victor Schauberger - Implosion Technology
- Victor Schauberger - born in 1885 - began his career simply enough as a forester in his native Austria in the time before and around the two great wars. By second world war he had made a name for himself as a researcher into hydrodynamics and what he called implosion technology: The generation of energy output by vortices and implosion rather by explosions.
