NICK COOK 211<br />

Schauberger described the essential characteristics of this machine as a<br />

"multistage centrifuge with concentrically juxtaposed pressure chambers."<br />

Shortly afterward, he wrote to his cousin that he had invented an<br />

aircraft that didn't make any noise.<br />

With these devices, Schauberger realized he had created an entirely<br />

new methodology for propelling vehicles through air and water.<br />

As Joerg Schauberger and I settled into the archive, which was<br />

crammed full with the old man's files and papers, it was clear that Viktor<br />

Schauberger had documented every turn of his career in meticulous<br />

detail.<br />

Through his letters, duplicates of which he always placed on file, it was<br />

possible to paint an intricate profile of the man and his inventions. The<br />

challenge, even for his family, lay in decoding the shorthand Schauberger<br />

had used to decribe his work.<br />

During the war, he had concentrated on the development of several<br />

types of machine—the <strong>Rep</strong>ulsator and <strong>Rep</strong>ulsine for water purification<br />

and distillation, the Implosion Motor for electricity generation, the<br />

Trout Turbine for submarine propulsion and a "flying saucer" that used<br />

air instead of water as its driving medium. Because they all worked on the<br />

same principles, Schauberger tended to interchange the names of these<br />

devices and their applications when it suited him.<br />

So, when Viktor wrote in 1940 that he had commissioned a company<br />

in Berlin called Kaempfer to build a "<strong>Rep</strong>ulsator," it wasn't immediately<br />

apparent what this machine was for. It was only when he ran into<br />

contractual difficulties with Kaempfer, which was having enormous<br />

problems manufacturing the machine to Viktor's demanding specifications,<br />

that its function became clear.<br />

By February 1941, Viktor had switched contractors to the Kertl<br />

company in Vienna, and here, in correspondence, he described the<br />

prototype (which he was building at his own expense) as having a twofold<br />

purpose: to investigate "free energy production" and to validate his<br />

theories of "levitational flight."<br />

The machine relied on a turbine plate of waviform construction that<br />

fitted onto a similarly molded base plate. The gap between the plates was<br />

whorl-shaped, mimicking the corkscrew action of a kudu's antler.<br />

Having drawn air in via the intake, the rapidly rotating turbine<br />

propelled it to the rim of the rotating mass under centrifugal force.<br />

The vortex movement of air created by the waviform gap between the<br />

plates led to its rapid cooling and "densation," producing a massive<br />

reduction in volume and generating a vacuum of enormous pressure,<br />

which sucked more air into the turbine.
