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.
