Leaps of Consciousness

Viktor Schauberger rediscovered the benefits of copper gardening tools.

Viktor Schauberger is not well known despite his discoveries about water and nature’s use of implosive energy instead of the current explosive and destructive method. Born in Austria in 1885 he had a gift for observing nature.

When he saw the effect a university education had on his brothers thinking - by limiting them to ‘academic’ views and alienating them from nature - he decided to become a forester like his forbears. He learnt through reading, from the wise and working things out for himself.

After the war, he turned his hand to farming and developed copper-plated ploughs that provided greater yields than steel ones without fertilisers. However, they were not commercially produced because they threatened investors’ business interests.

In 1999, Callum Coats published his translation of Schauberger's Living Energies, the standard reference work on Viktor Schauberger’s ideas. He studied with Schauberger’s son, Walter, in Austria. The book has sections on commercial field trials and includes; on page 197—Experiments with Copper Implements in Agriculture; page 198—Field trials; and page 199—Results: Copper implements had a 58% greater yield than steel.

He also made significant discoveries about water and nature’s use of creative implosive energy instead of the explosive and destructive method used today. In a university water test, one of his device’s energy consumption was ‘over unity’, i.e. it created more energy than it used, disobeying the first law of thermodynamics: that energy is conserved. The university changed the results to zero. Unfortunately, science didn't know about quantum physics then, and the law only applies to a 3D world, so energy can come from other dimensions.
