Viktor Schauberger was a brilliant explorer. He managed to create an engine that, according to all physical laws, should not have worked. Official science still considers Schauberger's work to be a profanation. But not everything is so unambiguous in this matter.
Viktor Schauberger was one of the pioneers in the field of so-called "free energy" research. Due to the fact that he was biased towards the existing scientific theories, Victor was not limited by the framework of fundamental science and was able to achieve outstanding results in his research.
Repulsin - an engine originally from a concentration camp
One of Schauberger's most famous developments was the Repulsin, a device often referred to as the Schauberger motor. Victor worked on the creation of repulsin in the Mauthausen concentration camp, where he was interned by the Nazis.
For the first time, the Schauberger engine became known after the American troops liberated Mauthausen and, among other objects, found strange apparatus in the concentration camp that resembled small flying saucers in appearance. Of all the photographs of repulsins discovered at Mauthausen, only a few copies have survived to us - and even those heavily retouched.
As Victor himself stated, his vortex engines worked, creating a strong vacuum, due to which air was sucked in through a special turbine. As a result, a lift was created that could be used to create aircraft.
After the end of World War II, Schauberger received numerous proposals to recreate vortex engines. But he refused them, citing the fact that "humanity has not yet matured to such technologies."
Schauberger's post-war activities
From the point of view of modern science, Schauberger's repulsin belongs to the type of perpetual motion machines and therefore contradicts existing scientific theories. Strictly speaking, the idea of a vortex engine is anti-scientific.
But practice often contradicts theory. So it happened with Repulsin. If the academic scientific world did not accept him, then the military had their own opinion on this matter. In 1957, Victor, in the strictest secrecy, went to Texas, where he began to work on the creation of new repulsins. At some point, Schauberger gave up further work and returned to Austria, where he suddenly died a few days later. Many believe that the real cause of Victor's death was his refusal to cooperate with the Americans.
Similar experiments
Experiments with vortex energy, on which the work of Schauberger's repulsins was based, were carried out by other scientists. So, in the late 1920s, the French researcher J. Ranke invented the so-called. "Vortex tube", which the rest of the scientific world also declared a fiction, which contradicts the laws of thermodynamics. In 1946, the work on the vortex tube was continued by the German physicist Helsch. He managed to create several devices that worked on the same principle as the Schauberger engines.
So what was Repulsin - myth or reality? Basic science says it's a myth. Until now, not a single working model of a vortex engine has been created. However, history knows a number of cases when experimenters managed to create devices that use the force of vortex flows - most of them were built by amateurs.
