Austrian forester and self-taught inventor whose “implosion” machines, built on the idea that water and air can be made to do work by being spun inward rather than compressed outward, attracted SS funding during the war. The family archive at Bad Ischl, which Nick Cook examined personally, is the best primary material in The Hunt for Zero Point: diaries, contracts and drawings establishing that the work was SS funded, that prisoners from Mauthausen built the prototypes, and that one machine tore loose on test and struck the roof of its hangar.
Schauberger was interrogated by American intelligence for nine months from 1945. In Texas in 1958 he signed a release assigning everything he owned, including his intellectual property, to an American consortium, and died five days after returning to Linz. What his machines actually did remains unresolved; that they existed and were funded is documented. See Implosion Technology.
