— Who Was Viktor Schauberger? — using this information in modified form to improve the performance of his 1,000 kph fighter, most probably the He 280. This was an indictable infringement of Viktor's still-confidential application. Wishing to avoid discovery, and in order to continue to make use of the unlawfully obtained data, Heinkel fraudulently attempted to have Viktor's patent restricted to the conversion of sea water into fresh water only, by having its application to air- craft and submarine propulsion disallowed. Continuing his undercover experiments all the while, but without success due to lack of proper understanding, Heinkel, with a certain absence of ethical principle, then sought Viktor's collaboration in the project. Although some initial discussion eventual- ly took place, Viktor did not cooperate, having become aware of the facts of the matter, and further contact between the two men ceased. Using his ill-gotten gains and keeping all the kudos for himself, however, Heinkel persevered with his research which, as a direct result of the application of Viktor's theories, finally culminated in a much improved turbine. In the light of this, Viktor Schauberger, Continued from page 16 lying quietly on a bed, trussed in a strait- jacket, waiting for the lethal injection— which was then the standard procedure in the Third Reich for the removal of the mentally insane and other ‘undesirables’. Viktor's guardian angels must have been very alert, for despite his status as persona non grata in the Third Reich he somehow always managed to survive. Despite the new order after the Anschluss and the sword of Damocles hanging over his head, by now hardened to setbacks and with indomitable courage and a mind never still for a moment, Viktor quietly continued his research. His main drive was to investi- gate phenomena and correlations that inter- ested him. Once he had discovered that something worked, he noted the fact and then got on with the next project. He was never very interested in commercialising his discoveries. As ever, he pursued ways of generating energy with water through the interaction of complementary but opposite forms of energy, i.e., heat and cold, electricity and magnetism, centrifugance and cen- tripetance—both aspects of which combine to create a unity, a wholeness through their synthesising, reciprocal interaction. Viktor also saw that suction and pressure could be used in similar fashion on the same axis to produce a powerful propulsive effect. In 1936 he successfully applied for patents for an air turbine which made use of a centripetal ‘compressor’ and rifled cen- tral exhaust pipe (Austrian Patent No. 145141). This was followed by further patent applications in which this concept was improved. Although all trace of them has since been lost, the device described in these later patents was not only able to con- vert sea water into fresh water, but could also be exploited to power aircraft and sub- marines. Yet once again, Viktor was the victim of deceit and his ideas were usurped. In docu- ments dated 1941, he describes how Prof. Emnst Heinkel, the designer of the first suc- cessful jet plane (first flight on 27 August 1939), had illegally obtained sight of Viktor's preliminary applications at the Patent Office in Berlin through his patent attorneys, Lehmann-Harlens. Having stud- ied them carefully, Heinkel then expressed his disinterest in them but immediately inaugurated a covert research programme, using this information in modified form to improve the performance of his 1,000 kph fighter, most probably the He 280. This was an indictable infringement of Viktor's still-confidential application.
