CHAPTER FOUR
German Field Propulsion Projects
This type of flying vehicle would lift and move itself powered by
an electric, magnetic, diamagnetic or ether field which repels
earth's magnetic field or overpowers the effects of gravity.
The Viktor Schauberger Models
An Austrian, Viktor Schauberger was first and foremost a
naturalist. His primary focus was water as found in naturally
occurring streams, rivers and lakes. In observing the movement
of water he formulated his own ideas about its movement and
energetic properties. They are applicable in air also. His
ideas are guite contrary to accepted ideas, both then and now and
are even now imperfectly understood and debated. These ideas
involved the vortex which was the way Schauberger believed that
water naturally flowed both in the earth and in streams.
Schauberger believed that energy naturally flowed in a vortex but
that this movement was only visible through another medium such
as water or air. This discussion will first focus on theories of
why and how the Schauberger saucer model flew and then recount
the sequence of events in Schauberger's involvement with flying
discs.
Viktor Schauberger's saucer models incorporated a vortex in which
air entered at the top and flowed right through the center of the
saucer. Schauberger's vortex was an open system. A whirlpool or
tornado or hurricane are examples of the kind of vortex upon
which Schauberger's ideas are based. There are two directions of
vortex movement, centripetal or inward moving vortex and
centrifugal or outward moving vortex. Centripetally moving, that
is inwardly moving spiraling air or water, takes up less space
and is cooled by this motion according to Schauberger (1). The
example we see in daily life is the motion of water in a toilet
after flushing. He called this centripetal movement "implosion".
Implosion was always accompanied by explosion as the fluid
expanded again in an outward, centrifugal spiral. The process is
first centripetal then centrifugal. The form this vortex took is
really dictated by function according to Schauberger. The
"function" is the energy flow. The spiral vortex is the shape
the energy flow takes in its movement (2). Energy flows in at
the top of the vortex in the characteristic double-spiral manner.
These air molecules are imploded, that is, they are made more
dense and they yield heat as they progress (3). Air molecules are
squeezed tighter and tighter together as they move down the
vortex until the sub-atomic particles themselves become unglued
transforming into new and unrecognized forms of energy (4). As
the vortex itself decreases in diameter implosion and speed are
