spirals away in a centrifugal motion. It is at this periphery,
at the midline of the saucer, where the change of motion takes
place. It is here that energy is liberated. It is this energy
which gives the saucer its quality of levitation.
Sometimes the Coanda Effect is cited as a reason this saucer flew
(25). Coanda effects, if present at all, are only a secondary
force if Viktor Schauberger's calculations are correct. Coanda
effects alone could never be powerful enough to generate the
lifting force equal to 228 tons which Schauberger estimated his
small model produced.
The important factual points to keep in mind are these: First,
this saucer-model, probably in more than one version, actually
flew. Second, one model still exists today. Therefore this
"flying saucer" is a physical reality which can be photographed,
touched and studied. Third, explanations of the mysterious
energetic forces causing lift in this device should not be
forgotten. The German scientific leadership was interested in
implosion and in what Schauberger had to teach them but they did
not necessarily want to be limited by the use of air to achieve
these results. Instead, they may have wanted to use Schauberger
ideas but actuating these principles with electronic components.
We will see some ideas relating to Schauberger in a future
example.
