returning home to Austria. His son Walter, a trained physicist and
mathematician, would remain on in the U.S.A. for a year to turn his ideas
into blueprints from which the Americans could put his implosion
technology into production.
Throughout this dialogue, it is clear that Schauberger felt that
Gerchsheimer had come to him as some kind of representative of the
U.S. government. And while Gerchsheimer subsequently denied this,
his evident connections with U.S. law enforcement and intelligence
agencies, connections that he never hid from the Schaubergers, merely
reinforced the view in the inventor's mind that the offer carried official
U.S. sanction. This impression was compounded when Viktor and
Walter arrived in the States and Gerchsheimer and Donner tapped
physicists at the National Atomic Research Laboratories at Brookhaven,
Long Island, for expert advice on implosion technology. Seven weeks
after the Schaubergers' arrival in Texas, Gerchsheimer instructed them
to write up separate reports about implosion, then forwarded them to
Brookhaven for analysis.
At first, Viktor Schauberger was happy to go along with the
Gerchsheimer/Donner plan because at long last he believed here was
something that would allow him to implement his free-energy ideas for
the benefit of mankind. But as the weeks dragged into months, and
negotiations in the high heat of Texas turned sticky, Schauberger's
health became ever more fragile and he yearned increasingly to go home.
Gerchsheimer and Donner, meanwhile, had become frustrated at the
painfully slow pace with which Schauberger was transcribing his ideas
onto paper, and the whole relationship broke down.
Prepared to do anything that would enable him to get home quickly,
Schauberger made the cardinal error of signing a document that he had
not bothered to translate properly. When, later, he fully absorbed the text
of it, he realized that everything he owned—models, sketches, prototypes,
reports, even intellectual property—had become the sole possession
of the Donner-Gerchsheimer consortium.
The release form also stipulated—just as U.S. intelligence agents had,
12 years earlier—that Schauberger was to commit himself to total silence
on the subject of implosion and that any further ideas he might develop
were never to be discussed with anyone other than designated U.S.
personnel.
It was the last straw. On September 25, five days after arriving back in
Linz, Viktor Schauberger died a broken man.
There was no point looking for any explanation of this tragedy on the
