Viktor's abiding interest was to discover how to generate energy<br />

using Nature's own methods. He worked out how a trout is able to<br />

screw its way up a waterfall by hitching a ride on strong levitative<br />

<strong>current</strong>s, and using this principle, the first generator he developed<br />

was the 'trout turbine.' To perfect this he needed more precise information<br />

on how a trout is able to stand motionless in a fast moving<br />

<strong>current</strong>, and indeed how it can suddenly accelerate upstream. The<br />

above diagram illustrates this amazing phenomenon (Fig. 1.1).<br />

The trout is holding its station in mid steam where the water is<br />

coldest, densest and has most potential energy. Viktor studied the<br />

gills of the fish and found what he thought were guide vanes which<br />

would direct the water flow into a powerful backwards vortex <strong>current</strong>.<br />

Its shiny scales minimize friction with the water, but they also<br />

create scores more of little vortices that amplify the upstream<br />

counter <strong>current</strong>, particularly towards the tail, which cancel out the<br />

pressure on the fish's snout. A zone of negative thrust is created<br />

along the whole of the trout's body and so it stays in the same place.<br />

These counter <strong>current</strong>s can be increased by flicks of the tail, creating<br />

negative pressure behind the fish. Flapping of the gills amplifies<br />

the vortices along its flanks, giving it a sudden push upstream. The<br />

Fig. 1.1. The stationary trout.<br />

The trout normally swims in the middle of the<br />

central <strong>current</strong>, where the water is densest and<br />

coldest. Its body displaces and compresses the<br />

individual water filaments causing them to<br />

accelerate. As their critical velocities are exceeded,<br />

vortices or counter<strong>current</strong>s are formed along the<br />

rear part of the trout's body, providing a<br />

counterthmst to the <strong>current</strong>, allowing the trout to<br />

remain stationary in the fast flowing water. If it<br />

needs to accelerate, it flaps its gills, creating a<br />

further vortex train along its flanks, increasing the<br />

counterthmst upstream.<br />
