Device Catalog

1. Timber Flotation Installations (Log Flumes)

Period: 1922–1930

Principle: Water flows through channels with specific cross-sectional geometry and curvature designed to induce spiral-vortical motion. The spiral motion cools the water (driving it toward the 4°C maximum-density point), increasing carrying capacity through densification and creating centripetal forces that center the logs in the channel.

Documented result: Transported logs heavier than water ("sinkers") that Archimedes' Principle predicted would be untransportable. Reduced logging costs from 12 schillings/m³ to 1 schilling/m³. Every log arrived in good condition.

Installations: Steyrling (1922), Neuberg an der Mürz (1926), additional installations in Austria, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria (1928).

2. Egg-Shaped Pipes

Period: 1930s onward

Principle: Natural watercourses (rivers, arteries, intestines) never have perfectly circular cross-sections. They are ovoid/egg-shaped. Schauberger designed pipes with egg-shaped cross-sections to maintain water's vortical motion, temperature regulation, and structural organization during transport. Conventional cylindrical pipes with right-angle bends disrupt spiral flow, heat the water through friction, and produce "dead" (energetically depleted) water.

Application: Water transport, purification, agricultural irrigation.

3. Hyperbolic Funnel

Period: 1930s–1950s

Principle: A funnel with a specific hyperbolic curvature that forces water to flow in its natural implosion spiral. The vortical motion within the funnel separates particulates from clean water through differential torque (heavier contaminants are flung outward, clean water spirals inward), effectively purifying the water while simultaneously re-energizing it through structured spiral motion.

Application: Water purification and revitalization.

4. The Repulsine (Types A and B)

Period: 1940s

Principle: Disc-shaped turbine employing a suction screw-impeller that rotates from outside to inside along a cycloid-spiral space-curve based on the Golden Section (Φ = 1.618...). Air or water is drawn into the central inlet by centripetal suction. As the fluid spirals inward along the cycloid curve, its temperature drops (implosion principle in mechanical action). The cooled, densified fluid is expelled through the outer edge, creating reaction force.

Construction: Silver-coated copper (silver: highest electrical conductivity; copper: high conductivity with specific diamagnetic properties).

Reported effects:

• Diamagnetic levitation (repulsive force against gravity)
• Energy output exceeding mechanical input (implosion process contributing work)
• Cooling of working fluid (cold exhaust rather than hot)
• Self-acceleration tendency (required restraining rather than driving)

Type A: Earlier version. Simpler impeller design.

Type B: Later, refined version. More complex cycloid geometry. Achieved higher reported performance.

Status: All known units destroyed or confiscated. Plans and documentation transferred to American consortium (1958). No independently verified working reproduction has been publicly demonstrated.

5. Copper Agricultural Plow

Period: 1940s–1950s

Principle: Conventional iron/steel plows create electromagnetic disturbances in the soil through the interaction of ferromagnetic materials with the Earth's magnetic field, harming soil microorganisms and degrading soil structure. Schauberger designed plows from copper (diamagnetic, rather than ferromagnetic) with specific curvatures that turned the soil in a spiral motion mimicking natural burrowing patterns (modeled on the mole's digging motion).

Reported results: Improved soil fertility, healthier plant growth, reduced need for chemical fertilizers.

6. Home Power Generator

Period: 1950s

Principle: Small-scale implosion device designed for domestic energy generation. Used water as the working fluid. Operated on the same vortex-implosion principle as the Repulsine but at reduced scale.

Documentation: Schauberger was photographed with an "experimental home power unit" in October 1955. Technical specifications not publicly available.

Status: Confiscated as part of the 1958 patent transfer.

Key Concepts

The Implosion/Explosion Dichotomy

| Property | Explosion | Implosion | |----------|-----------|-----------| | Direction of motion | Centrifugal (outward) | Centripetal (inward) | | Temperature effect | Heating | Cooling | | Entropy effect | Increase (disorder) | Decrease (order) | | Molecular structure | Breakdown | Organization | | Energy balance | Consumes energy | Produces energy | | Motion geometry | Linear, angular | Spiral, vortical | | Natural analogs | Forest fire, volcanic eruption | Tornado, whirlpool, galaxy spiral | | Industrial applications | Internal combustion, steam, nuclear | Schauberger devices (suppressed) |

The 4°C Anomaly

Water reaches maximum density (≈1,000 kg/m³) at 4°C — approximately 13% denser than at typical surface temperatures. At this temperature:

• Hydrogen bonding coordination is maximized
• Two classes of local structural environments (denser/ordered and less dense/less ordered) reach maximum coherence
• Internal organizational structure peaks
• Water exhibits its greatest capacity for carrying dissolved gases and suspended materials

Vortical motion in natural streams drives water temperature toward 4°C. Schauberger's devices replicate this mechanism mechanically.

Diamagnetism

Diamagnetic materials create a weak opposing magnetic field when exposed to an external magnetic field — they are slightly repelled by magnets. Water is weakly diamagnetic. When water is highly structured (near 4°C, in vortical motion, in EZ water state), its diamagnetic properties are reported to increase.

Schauberger attributed the Repulsine's levitation to diamagnetic effects generated by the organized interaction between rapidly spiraling fluid and the device's silver-copper construction. This remains experimentally unverified in any publicly accessible study.

The Golden Section (Phi, Φ)

The ratio Φ = (1 + √5) / 2 ≈ 1.618... appears throughout natural forms: nautilus shells, sunflower seed arrangements, DNA helices, galaxy spiral arms. Schauberger incorporated this ratio into the cycloid-spiral curves of his impellers, arguing that Phi-based geometry optimizes vortical flow by aligning with nature's fundamental growth pattern.

Gerald H. Pollack — Fourth Phase of Water / EZ Water

Affiliation: Professor of Bioengineering, University of Washington, Seattle.

Key finding: Water adjacent to hydrophilic surfaces forms an Exclusion Zone (EZ) — a fourth phase with distinct properties: hexagonal molecular arrangement, net negative charge, energy storage from radiant light, spontaneous flow generation.

Publications:

• Pollack, G.H. The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor. Ebner & Sons, 2013.
• Pollack Lab publications: www.pollacklab.org

Relevance: EZ water provides the peer-reviewed scientific basis for Schauberger's "living water" concept — structured, energy-storing, quasi-crystalline water whose properties differ measurably from bulk (unstructured) water.

PKS Institute (Pythagoras-Kepler System)

Location: Salzkammergut Mountains, Austria.

Principal: Jörg Schauberger (Viktor's grandson).

Nick Cook — The Hunt for Zero Point

Affiliation: Aviation editor, Jane's Defence Weekly.

Contribution: Visited the PKS Institute, reviewed family archives, and documented the Schauberger story within the broader context of suppressed aerospace technology. His investigation, published as The Hunt for Zero Point (Random House, 2001), is significant because Cook was a credentialed defense journalist — a mainstream institutional figure rather than a fringe researcher.

Callum Coats — Living Energies

Content: The most comprehensive English-language analysis of Schauberger's work. Based on direct access to family archives, correspondence, and patent records. Includes detailed technical descriptions of all major devices, biographical narrative based on primary sources, and theoretical exposition of the implosion principle.
