March 22nd is World Water Day so I thought I'd write about a man who devoted his entire life to water. Viktor Schauberger(1885-1958) was an Austrian nature conservationist and forester whose maxim was "Comprehend and Copy Nature", and spent most of his life in the woods deeply observing the behaviour, characteristics and function of water. "Water in its natural state shows us how it wishes to flow, so we should follow its wishes." Schauberger observed thae forest to be not merely a consumer of water, but in fact its creator and protector. He saw that tree shade was essential to healthy water and distinguished between mature water (able to give energy and promote creation) and immature water (juvenile in nature, leaching from its environment until it reached a more enriched state). Because of this he cautioned against drilling down to extract immature water, in favour of nurturing natural well points where water flowed upwards because nature was ready to share it. He also saw the connection between water's vitality and its temperature, noting 4 degrees celcius as optimal for providing the best energy. In rivers he observed trout swimming into "conically-shaped" streams that seemed flow uphill against the main body of water, and that they were then pulled upwards and out of the water, allowing them to swim upstream. Noting other instances of opposing spiral forces in water and air led him to realize that energy is created through the interplay of expansive and contractive forces. He began to think in terms of "vortex energy" and observed two complimentary processes at work in nature: Centripetal spirals that drew inward toward a centre were contactive, based on principles of implosion, and reduced temperature. This force uses tremendous pressure to gather materials and promote growth and new life. The other centrifugal, explosive, force moved outwards from the centre, raised temperatures, broke down and scattered matter. He was very criticl of humanity's use of this latter process for energy production, citing coal, oil and nuclear energies as wasteful and ultimately harmful to nature. In 1934 he was summoned to a private meeting with Hitler to explain his theories on creating energy from air and water. In 1938 he invented a machine that produced electrical energy from a low pressure flow of water, and when the war broke out Schauberger was forced to work in an SS laboritory to create air fueled planes. 1943 he ran successful levitation experiments using "colloidal" motion. The energy was derived from placing water or air into a twisting form oscillation, known as "colloidal", which caused a build up of energy. After the war American troops found and confiscated a working model of a "flying saucer" that used water, air ad an electric charge. they were so concerned by his knowledge of atomic energy that he was detained and held him under close guard for six months and later forbidden him to work on atomic energy production research. Similarly, Russian troops confiscated models and research from his home, burning the apartment when they left. "Water is the raw material of every culture or the basis of every bodily movement and spiritual development." Schauberger realized that kind was unwittingly destroying the earth by opposing nature. His life's work was to bring about awareness of more natural based, environmentally friendly methods for living. Unfortunately he was unable to convince most people, partly because he was not one to suffer fools or combative members of the establishment; an partly because in addition to his lack of a formal scientific education, the mathematics of his day could not convert his concepts into theory. He died in relative obscurity after a traumatic experience in America that amounted to house arrest for three months. In his lifetime he developed water purification systems and showed how water and air can be reliably used as fuel. His ideas on vortex energy and their applications are still being explored today Sources: Living Water, Olof Alexandersson Viktor Schauberger/ World Living Water
