This is the story of a pioneering Austrian naturalist and iconoclast who pointed the way to a completely new understanding of the vast potential of natural energy.By studying fish in streams and by closely observing the natural water cycle, Viktor Schauberger (1885–1958) was able to solve basic problems of energy transformation.He saw that modern man, without realizing it, was destroying the earth and sabotaging his own cultures by working against Nature.All the prevailing methods of energy generation - from hydro-electric to nuclear fission - produce harmful long-term effects on the environment and encourage disease.Schauberger had a clear vision of how fertility could be restored to the earth.As an inventor Schauberger developed a number of ingenious machines which would revolutionize farming, horticulture, forestry and aircraft propulsion.He developed water purification systems, and showed how air and water could be harnessed as fuels for many machines.His discovery of implosive energy and diamagnetism had many practical applications, most of which have yet to be developed.
