The name of Viktor Schauberger says little to most ordinary people. But it was this humble inventor from Austria who opened a practically new era in technology, leaving behind a rich heritage shrouded in a halo of mystery and fraught with more questions than answers. The nature of his discoveries cannot be fully understood until now. And all attempts to assemble the Schauberger engine with your own hands or in laboratory conditions do not achieve the effect that its creator had.
Victor Schauberger was a hereditary forester. Having no special technical education, but possessing natural ingenuity and observation, considering how water moves in forest streams, Schauberger came to an interesting conclusion, actually making a discovery that was known to him by the ancient Egyptians, Greek, and Incas. Namely: in mountain rivers, due to the natural turbulence, the water not only cleans itself, but also receives additional energy. Spinning, water can flow from the bottom up. Indeed, for example, salmon and trout, heading to the place of spawning, easily overcome rapids up to 10 m high, although this requires remarkable physical strength. It was thanks to the turbulence that the water rose, for example, to the
Palace of Knossos in Crete without any pumps.
As a result, in 1921 the first Schauberger engine was created. It was a suction turbine, in which water, spinning, rose up in the direction of the tapering nozzle, while increasing its energy. Water was the fuel for this engine.
And in 1930, he invented the first vortex heat generator, in which heat was generated due to the energy of spinning water.
The development of the Austrian self-taught inventor could not but interest the Nazis.
In 1934, Schauberger met with Hitler. In the course of the conversation, which concerned mainly agricultural problems, the Führer became interested in the Schauberger’s engine running on water , and the dictator proposed cooperation, but was refused. The consequences of this meeting had unpleasant consequences for the inventor. After Germany annexed Austria in 1938, the Nazis made every effort to search for Schauberger. At first, the naturalist was placed in a psychiatric clinic, and then he worked on the creation of a disk vortex engine under the supervision of the SS men in the Mauthausen concentration camp, as they said in the “sharaga”.
The first Schauberger engine, called the Repulsin A with a diameter of 2.4 m, exploded during testing, which almost cost the creator, accused of sabotage, his life. The next model, Repulsin B, was more successful.
Initially, it was planned to install the Schauberger engine in submarines, but then they abandoned this idea and created the Flugkreisel ("Flying Yule") aircraft , which looks like a flying saucer. The first prototype of this device took to the air in 1943. The refinement of the "plate" was carried out until the end of the war. After the defeat of Germany, the Schauberger engine fell into the hands of the winners, and its creator was invited to work in the Canadian branch of the British company AVRO. But Schauberger preferred to devote the rest of his life to the use of vortex technologies in the name of peace (the creation of generators, systems for treating water and air).
Literally on the eve of his death, Victor Schauberger received several seductive offers, which they, as a deeply decent man, were rejected because he did not want his inventions to serve the war. It is for this reason that Viktor Schauberger’s vortex engine has almost never found widespread use.
