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.

Of the scientists whose work we have visited this month, Schauberger is certainly the most obscure one. He came to prominence in Austria for inventing simple yet ingenious new ways to float timber down mountain streams and rivers, and began designing energy generating vortex turbines shortly afterward. He refused to emmigrate to Germany and work for the Reich despite a personal invitation from Adolf Hitler. In the second world war - however - his work and capacities were coopted by Nazi Germany through force. After the war the U.S. acquisitioned most of his work along with the man himself. Many of his inventions and concepts have vanished in the drawers of military research institutions, and keep inspiring conspiracy nuts and other fringe folk to outrageous theories about what happened to the implosion technology designs of Schauberger, while his ideas could just as well for a basis for a wholly new form of energy production.
