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.
For this theory, he studied the trout and how this marine creature moved in the water. He questioned how it was possible for a trout to move against the force of the water with only a small flap of their fins. Therefore, he concluded that every fluid motion follows a vortex where in the flow is a circular 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.
With these theories, he was able to develop a lot of inventions that involved water engineering. He even used his theory on vortices to develop machines that utilizes circular motion inside its parts. Some of his creations include the log flumes, the jet turbine, and other machines that utilize hydroelectric power.
Before the height of World War II, he met the great dictator of the Third Reich, Adolf Hitler. According to history, Hitler was fascinated with his knowledge on agriculture, forestry, theories, and engineering. It was at this point that Schauberger was recruited by Hitler to help in the development of certain machines for the Third Reich. Sometime near the end of the war, he was put in a Nazi concentration camp.
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.
