impression that it was Boerner himself who headed an important<br />

particle accelerator project then underway at Brookhaven. And this<br />

in turn magnified their fears about the possible motivations behind<br />

the sudden American interest in their "implosion" concepts.<br />

Walter Schauberger admitted that in the process of producing their<br />

reports, it dawned on them that a bomb could possible be produced<br />

through implosion that was magnitudes more powerful than the<br />

hydrogen bomb. Assuming Boerner to be more influential than he was,<br />

Viktor and Walter became convinced that all the information they<br />

were supplying to him was being passed directly to the U.S.<br />

government and the military. 30<br />

While Coats himself downplays this potentiality, it is worth<br />

recalling that a similar "compression-decompression" principle lay<br />

behind the "molecular" bomb of Dr. Nowak, and hence, their<br />

concerns may have come less from a misunderstanding of Boerner's<br />

role, and more from an acquaintance with the work being done by<br />

the SS in Nazi Germany. In any case, I do not believe it is entirely<br />

fair to the Schaubergers to discount the possibility that the whole<br />

"private funding" venture via Robert Donner and Karl<br />

Gerchsheimer was not an operation designed to place into the<br />

hands of the US military and its research facilities the fundamental<br />

outlines of Schauberger's concepts.<br />

In any case, a meeting was held on the Totten Ranch in early<br />

September 1958. Present were the two Schaubergers, Robert<br />

Donner, Boerner, and possibly Viktor Schauberger's machinist,<br />

Alois Renner. Based principally on the reports he had received,<br />

Boerner reported to the group that Project implosion was "a viable<br />

proposition." Boerner believed that "the solution of the problem of<br />

energy lay in the proper interpretation of Max Planck's equation<br />

E=hv, formulated in 1900, and the Freidrich Hasenohrl-Albert<br />

Einstein equation E=Mc 2 ." 31 Doubtless Boerner had in mind a<br />

Ibid., p. 23. Coats rightly notes that is was first Hasenohrl who had<br />

postulated the equation in 1903 in the form of m=E/c 2 (p. 29, n. 27).<br />

Hasenohrl's equation is slightly different than Einstein's which is properly<br />

E=Mc 2 , where the capital M stands for a mass difference between two observed<br />
