In the field of engineering, science, and environmentalism, one has probably heard the name Viktor Schauberger. For those who do not know him, he is the one who founded the implosion theory and the one who created actuators for vehicles like the airplanes and the big ships. Until today, his discoveries have made an impact in the world of scientific inventions.
He was born in the year 1885 in Austria. What is very interesting about him is that he descended from a long line of Austrian forest wardens who are also the descendants of ancient Germanic tribes. His views were somewhat controversial at that time and thus were not formally accepted by the scientific community. His theory on vortices was his very first one that became famous.
To prove this theory, he used a trout moving in the water as a guinea pig. His big question was how the trout was able to move in the water despite the strong current with a small movement of their fins. The answer he came up with was that water was in fact made up of a vortex that flows in a centripetal motion.
He also made other conclusions that stemmed out from there like the fact the a vortex is naturally created. Another thing that he stated was that the structure of anything fluid has a bunch of layers that make up the vortices. The last conclusion he made from this was that water is densest when cold.
It was through these discoveries that he was able to create a lot of machinery through water engineering. His theory on vortices even helped him to produce machines that made use of centripetal movement. These inventions included the jet turbine, the log flumes, and many more machines run by hydroelectric power.
Sometime during the Second World War, he met up with Adolf Hitler before the dictator became the great leader of the Third Reich. During their meeting, they had discussed topics on agriculture and forestry. In fact, Schauberger lent some of his ideas to the development of the machinery of the army of Hitler. Eventually, he became a prisoner at one of the Nazi concentration camps because of loyalty issues.
When the Allied Powers won World War II, he was eventually released from the concentration camp but was taken under observation by the US military for interrogation on his work with the German army. All of his inventions, documents, and papers were confiscated as he was under strict observation. Nine months later, the US military released him and he was free to keep on working on his inventions.
Sometime during 1985, he was offered a deal by Robert Donnor to work with him in the United States with a few fellow inventors. Donnor was fascinated by the inventions of Schauberger and wanted to also see how these machinery worked. Unfortunately, the deals did not push through and the project failed because of squabbles among the partners. Eventually, he just flew back to Austria in the same year and passed away on September 25.
