Coats was actually able to locate a surviving example of a Schauberger

saucer model. Excellent photographs of this device are to be found in his

book, Living Energies, as well as a dissection of it into its various
components. It is unclear if this device was one of the earlier (1940) or later
(1945) projects.
After the war, Schauberger worked on agricultural projects in Austria
until one day in the late 1957 when he was contacted by two Americans.
They promised Viktor almost unlimited resources if he and his son Walter
would work for them in the United States (22). Discussion concerning the
exact source and motives for this offer are beyond the scope of this
discussion but suffice it to say that they were powerful interests. The
Schaubergers were sent to Texas, near the Red River, where Viktor was
asked to disclose everything he knew and Walter was asked to set Viktor’s
terminology into the standard language of physics and engineering. This
whole episode proved extremely unsatisfactory for both Schaubergers and
they returned to Austria after about three months. As a condition for their
return, Viktor was asked to sign away his knowledge to this powerful
concern. Viktor was given a contract in English, which he did not read.
Nevertheless, the deal was done and the Schaubergers returned to Austria
(23). Viktor, already in poor health, died five days later on September 25,
1958. Walter continued advancing his father’s research in Austria until his
death in 1997.
Coats provides us with pictures of one of the Schauberger saucers in
question and an explanation of its workings (24). This saucer was
composed of a number of copper plates bolted together. Air was drawn in at
the to and into the rapidly spinning saucer which was set into motion by an
electric motor. In this machine no paddles pushed upon the air to start it.
Instead, a motor was used to spin the whole saucer model to the desired
number of revolutions per minute. The air was thus spun rapid over
channels formed by the upper and lower surfaces of two copper plates. On
these plates alternate ridges and depressions on both plates kept the air
moving in snake-like wave forms and it moved toward the periphery of the
saucer. Because the saucer was rapidly spinning, the air was folded over
upon itself as it moved laterally into many individual vortices. The air was
rotating in these vortices and moving up and down between the ridged
plates. It was also moving around as the saucer spun on its axis. This is a
double-spiral motion which additionally duplicates the undulating motion
seen on the Schauberger log flumes. The air was cooled and made more
dense as it progressed towards the periphery. At and around the saucer the
periphery, it was ejected into the atmosphere at great speed.
In this machine, centripetal air flow changes to centrifugal air flow at
this periphery. The air, once outside the saucer, spirals away in a centrifugal
motion. It is at this periphery, at the midline of the saucer, where the change
of motion takes place. It is here that energy is liberated. It is this energy
which gives the saucer its quality of levitation.
Sometimes the Coanda Effect is cited as a reason this saucer flew (25).
Coanda effects, if present at all, are only a secondary force if Viktor
Schauberger’s calculations are correct. Coanda effects alone could never be
powerful enough to generate the lifting force equal to 228 tons which
Schauberger estimated his small model produced.
The important factual points to keep in mind are these: First, this
saucer-model, probably in more than one version, actually flew. Second,
one model still exists today. Therefore this “flying saucer” is a physical
reality which can be photographed, touched and studied. Third,
explanations of the mysterious energetic forces causing lift in this device
should not be forgotten. The German scientific leadership was interested in
implosion and in what Schauberger had to teach them but they did not
necessarily want to be limited by the use of air to achieve these results.
Instead, they may have wanted to use Schauberger ideas but actuating these
principles with electronic components. We will see some ideas relating to
Schauberger in a future example.

A shred of evidence comes down to us though the years in the form of

a newspaper article by Lionel Shapiro in the Denver Post, dated November
9, 1947, and titled “Spies Bid for Franco’s Weapons.” (Please refer to a
copy of that article). It should be noted that this was a few months after the
summer of 1947, the first and largest UFO flap in history, which included
the Kenneth Arnold sighting and the flying saucer activity of Roswell. It
should also be noted that the Denver Post was nor is not a tabloid
publication.
In doing research, this newspaper was contacted in an attempt to learn
the where-abouts of the author, Lionel Shapiro. Unlike so many newspapers
in the United States which have been purchased and merged by
conglomerates, this newspaper is still intact and in existence. Unfortunately,
no record could be found of Mr. Shapiro in their personnel files although
they did maintain files going back that far. Also, no record could be found
in their sister publication, The Rocky Mountain News. It was suggested that
Mr. Shapiro was “a stringer,” that is, a writer who did not work directly for
the newspaper and whose work was purchased on a piece by piece basis.
His work seems to have been channeled through the North American
Newspaper Alliance. More of Mr. Shapiro’s history and connections will
unfold as the tale progresses.
This article describes two devices. The first is an “electromagnetic
rocket,” sometimes referred to later as the “KM-2 rocket” in other literature.
The second is a nuclear warhead small enough to be fired by an artillery
piece. The nuclear, warhead which is affixed to a cannon projectile, is novel
at this time and is interesting since such devices were built and fired shortly
thereafter by the United States military. The article’s description of the
nuclear cannon is correct. This was a German invention and was under
development in Germany during the latter stages of the war. A prototype
was even built and it carried the German designation of DKM 44 (1). This
very cannon was copied by the Americans and became the T-131 which
fired a nuclear warhead (2).
The discussion of the nuclear cannon is really beyond the scope of this
book but what is important to bear in mind concerning this discussion is
that if fifty percent of this article has proven to be accurate. The nuclear
cannon was built and it stemmed from a German prototype. Does this not at
least raise the possibility that the other fifty percent is accurate also?
Returning to the electromagnetic rocket itself, this device is right on
point for the discussion of field propulsion. Some points are ascertained in
reading this article. Its description as a “rocket” would lead one to believe it
was cylindrical in shape rather than saucer-shaped. It is suggested that this
device was responsible for the flying saucer sightings over the USA that
previous summer. This speaks for its operational range. It was said to have
been tested off Malaga while Franco watched. The device was constructed
in the town of Marbella, east of Gibraltar. Finally, it was said to have been
of German origin, even naming the German scientists who built it.
Even Spain itself is of some interest here since this country’s ruler,
Generalissimo Francisco Franco, was openly sympathetic to the Nazis. The
Nazis had assisted Franco militarily in the Spanish Civil War during the
1930s and were instrumental in his retention of power. During the final
stages of the Second World War and afterward Spain was seen by the
Germans as a safe haven for all those things they wished to keep out of
Allied hands, including secret weapons. Many shipments of gold, secret
blueprints, specialty steel, machine tools, scientists and high ranking Nazis
were sent to Spain (3). Colonel Otto Skorzeny, head of several SS post-war,
self-help organizations even set up his headquarters in Madrid (4). Spain
served as a home-away-from-home for the SS after the war.
In analyzing the means by which the KM-2 device flew, it must be
noted that gravitational force can be overcome through the use of a strong
electrostatic charge as shown by the work of T. Townsend Brown beginning
in the 1920s. This is sometimes referred to as the Biefield-Brown Effect.
Imagine a torpedo-shaped model with a dielectric center section suspended
by a string from the ceiling. If this model were charged with high voltage,
one end would become positive and the other end would become negative.
Movement would occur toward the positively charged direction if the
voltage was sufficient and the charged ends remained separated by the
dielectric (5).
This dielectric is an insulating material which can keep positive and
negative charges from interacting with each other and so canceling each
other out. They are commonly used in capacitors or condensers which have
a positive charge on one side while retaining a negative charge on the other.
If the charge can be contained by the non-conducting dielectric, a force is
exerted in the direction of the positive side with the application of 75,000 to
300,000 volts. One way to conceive of this action is to imagine a gravity
hill whose slope increases with the intensity of the ion charge. The craft
being powered simply slides down the gravity gradient like a surfboard on a
wave (6).
This concept is a new, non-conventional form of flight. It is non-
aerodynamic method of flight. All previous conventional flight had either
been through the use of lighter than air balloons, winged craft powered by
propellers, jets or rockets or the brute force of rockets themselves. Using
this method, Brown advocated defeating gravity by generating another form
of energy over which gravity could be surfed. It is a form of field
propulsion.
T. Townsend Brown demonstrated this means of propulsion to the
American military during the 1950s. He used a saucer-shaped model
tethered only by a high voltage line supplying the charge to the model (7).
During that decade Brown built increasingly larger, faster models using this
method. Brown found that a saucer or a triangle was the best shape for this
type of flying craft. A secret proposal, code-named Winterhaven, was to
develop a Mach 3 antigravity saucer interceptor was put forth to the U.S.
Air Force (8). This project was further developed through the 1960s but
after this all traces of this concept seem to disappear.
But where Brown is overlooked is not only did he have a method of
electrostatic propulsion but he also had a self-contained method to impart
this charge to a flying craft. He invented a flame-jet generator or
electrokenetic generator which supplied the necessary high voltage in a
light weight, compact manner (9).
The flame-jet generator utilized a jet engine with an electrified needle
mounted in the exhaust nozzle to inject negative ions in the jet’s exhaust
stream. A corresponding but positive charge is automatically built up upon
