The Karl Schappeller Device
Was
the Schappeller device an engine used in German field propulsion
saucers? This is a possibility. Because so littlehas been reported
about this device in the English language, the following is a report
describing Karl Schappeller and his device in some detail.
Karl Schappeller
(1875-1947) literally went from being born in poor house to owning
a castle during his lifetime. His economic success was mirrored
in his experiments in energy as a lay-scientist, culminating in
the invention of a free-energy device which attracted considerable
attention around 1930. Schappeller made no secret of his invention
and actively sought privatefinancing to manufacture and distribute
the results of his research. He was in touch with financial concerns
and even spokewith a representative of the British Admiralty concerning
the utilization of his device to power the Royal Navy's ships (1).
At this
time, 1930, the device was somehow appropriated andfurther worked
upon by a governmental organization of the GermanWeimar Republic,
the Reichsarbeitsgemeinschaft or Reich WorksAssociation (RAG). At
least one aim of the RAG was to makeGermany self-sufficient in energy
production. Specifically, they published their intentions to utilize
many Schappeller devices ina system of broadcast energy distribution
throughout Germany which would result in the entire elimination
of the electrical grid (2). As we know, Adolf Hitler assumed power
three yearslater and was also very interested in making Germany
independent of foreign sources of energy for strategic reasons.
It is known that political and scientific structure was set up to
work on the energy problem as evidenced later by the synthesizing
of gasoline and oil products from coal by the 3rd Reich. One of
these political and scientific structures was contained within the
SSand it is known that Karl Schappeller actually met with SS Reichsfueher
Heinrich Himmler in Vienna in 1933 (3).

Fortunately,
there are good descriptions of the Schappeller device in both German
and English languages upon which to draw. Per Vril-Mythos is a complete
discussion of Schappeller, his device, the history and the controversy
surrounding it. "Vril"Die Kosmische Urkraft Wiedergeburt
von Atlantis and Weltdynamismus Streifzuege durch technisches Neuland
an Hand von biologischenSymbolen represent an attempt by the RAG
to popularize their ideas in booklet form. Finally, British electrical
and mechanical engineer, Cyril W. Davson, visited Karl Schappeller
inAustria and spent three years learning of his device and his theory
before the Second World War. Davson's descriptive book,The Physics
of the Primary State of Matter, was written in 1955, after the war
and the death of Schappeller.
Before describing
the device itself it should be understood that Schappeller and all
writing about his device do so believing that the energy-source
being tapped is aether energy, sometimes called "Raumkraft"
or "Raumenergie", that is space energy (4)(5)(6). This
device was also said capable, perhaps with some tuning, of emitting
aether as a radiant energy (7). The physics of aether energy is
described by Davson as a primary physics as opposed toconventional
physics which he believed could only be considered a secondary,
derivative understanding.
Aether Theory
For readers
who have never heard of "aether", perhaps the simplest
explanation for aether physics is that of the late Dr. Hans A. Nieper
(7) titled Revolution in Technology, Medicine and Society. aether
could be thought of as an energy source emanating from everywhere
equally at once. The universe could be considered, as often said,
"a sea of energy". It forms a background of energy everywhere,
and since it is everywhere all the time, it is difficult make independent
measurement of it. This aether energy is in constant motion. All
energy is radiant energy, according to this theory. This can easily
be appreciatedas to electromagnetic radiation but it is also true
of that veryelusive thing called gravity. Newton described the effects
ofgravity but he never told us exactly what it was. Dr. Niepertells
us that gravity is really a push, not a pull. Gravity is acceleration
and is caused by the aether field. Again, all energyis radiant energy
whose fundamental basis is aether radiation.
From the aforementioned
book by Dr. Nieper:
"In addition,
Nieper established the axiom that all naturalaccelerations can be
attributed to a single unified basic principle, namely, the interception
(or braking) of a field energy penetrating from the outside (gravity
acceleration, magnetic, electromagnetic, electrostatic and radiesthesic
acceleration). "
In trying to
explain aether, it might be thought of as an allpervasive liquid
occupying all of space. This liquid concept isuseful because a liquid
can not be compressed but can only transfer the energy attempting
to compress it from one location to another. This is how an automobile's
brakes work. The driver pushes in the break pedal when he wants
to stop. The plunger ofthe break pedal attempts to compress fluid
in the master cylinder. The master cylinder is connected by metal
tubes fullof fluid to each wheel. When force is put on the master
cylinder by the driver it is transmitted to each of the four wheel
cylinders full of the same fluid which transmit the force, moving
the break shoes or stopping the disc which stops the wheels ofthe
car.
Likewise, aether
serves to transmit energy through this "non- compressibility"
quality. In a primary electric coil andsecondary electric coil,
for instance, induction in the secondary does not take place directly
from the primary as is new held byphysics, but though and between
the two via the aether field.This concept, that of the stimulation
of the aether field as meansof energy transport, is also expressed
by Davson.
Using this perspective,
that all energy is radiation, the braking of aether radiation, that
is the slowing down or stopping of thisradiation, can cause or generate
other forms of energy. Thisword "energy" means the entire
electromagnetic spectrum. This means electric, magnetic and electrostatic
fields. This meansheat. This also means gravity. Again, gravity
is the primary radiation of the aether field. It radiates from every
point inthe universe equally.
This concept
seems ridiculous until it is given some thought-One might ask: How
can gravity be a push when we know better?After all, things fall
to earth don't they? The answer is thatthe effects we feel and call
gravity are due to gravityshielding. aether radiation can be braked,
that is slowed downand absorbed by mass. It is then re-radiated
or turned intomass. It is re-emitted as slower aether radiation
or even as heat. Some of it can is converted into mass inside a
planet. Ifthere is a loss of aether radiation, then there is shielding.Thus,
a planet would shield from this radiation in one direction.That
direction is always toward its center which is the directionof greatest
mass and that is what we describe as "down". This is simply
the area which contains the maximum amount of shielding.In all other
directions the aether radiation continues to exert its push on us.
The area of minimum shielding is directlyopposite the area of maximum
shielding, so things fall (or morecorrectly are accelerated or "pushed")
to earth.
Think about
this for a minute. Being in deep space is a littlelike being underwater.
Underwater, all pressure from all pointsare so similar that we feel
weightless. We are weightless in
175
deep space because
the aether field exerts a push on us from alldirections equally.
In space, the nearer one gets to a large body the stronger the push
is from the opposite direction since the body shields or converts
the aether radiation. The result of this thinking is a mechanism
totally different from "gravity" aswe know it but appearing
as exactly the same observed phenomena.
The beauty of
this aether theory of gravity is that gravity functions like every
other form of radiation. Its underlyingcause, aether radiation,
can be converted to mass or, in certaincircumstances, re-radiated
or converted to other forms of energy. No Unified Field Theory is
necessary. The aether field is theunified field. Further, there
is no need to look for somethingseparate called "anti-gravity".
If gravity is a push then it isall anti-gravity. All we have to
do to make a UFO is to find this particular gravity frequency and
find out how to generateit.
aether physics
was a lost physics. Physics was hijacked early inthe 20th Century
by alleged results of the Michelson-Morleyexperiment. The Michelson-Morley
experiment assumed "aether" was matter. There is some
confusion here. We know now that particles moving near the speed
of light are measured as waves,that is energy, rather than as matter.
Nevertheless, aether theory has been discredited among physicists
who, in turn,discredit others who raise the subject. It is only
through theefforts of "free energy devices" and free energy
researchers that this knowledge is being returned to us. Without
this aether theory, the reason these devices work cannot be explained
at all.Rejection of aether theory allows these devices to be dismissed
as"theoretically impossible" and so fraudulent by simple
deduction.They are marginalized and dismissed as "perpetual
motiondevices". According to established physics, perpetual
motiondevices violate physical laws of conservation of energy. Withoutan
aether theory as an explanation, they do violate laws ofconservation
of energy and so their detractors are able to simplydismiss them
out of hand. The simple fact that some of thesefree energy devices
actually work does not seem to bother these scientists in the least.
Rather than change the theory to accommodate the observed facts,
the facts are ignored andsubstituted by dogma. Whaether we like
it or not, we are livingin an energy Dark Age.
Instead of aether
theory, we have all been led to focus upon Einstein and his Theories
of Relativity. Two or three generations of scientists have wasted
themselves on "trying toprove Einstein right". This misguided
thinking has resulted instagnation. One need go no further than
the many "free energy" devices which have arisen to the
level of notice in spite of accepted scientific theory to see that
this statement is true.
Needless to
say, German scientists of the Nazi period laboredunder no such illusions.
They never abandoned aether physics.This was the fundamental reason
why field propulsion UFOs were
176
first developed
in Germany. After the Second World War two different sciences developed
called "Physics". One was the relativism taught in schools.
The second more esoteric type wasutilized only secretly, by the
secret government, for deep blackprojects.
Structure of
the Schappeller Device
According to
Davson's description upon which we will rely, theSchappeller device
is really composed of two separate units, therotor and the stator.
The stator is constructed as follows: Its surface is round or ball-shaped,
being composed of two half-shells of steel. These half-shells contain
the internal structure and are air tight. Attached at each "pole"
of eachhalf-shell is an iron bar magnet, most of whose structure
is internal. This means that the bulk of the magnet is inside thesteel
ball, one opposite the other. There is a space between thetwo bar
magnets at the very center of the sphere.
Insulation,
a ceramic material, is placed on the inside of thesteel ball leaving
a hollow central area. Within this hollowarea and around the space
between the magnets are wound twointernal coils. These originate
at the bar magnet poles and each terminates at the center of the
sphere with a connection leadingout of the sphere to the rotor.
These coils are composed of ahollow copper tube filled with a special
and secret substancecalled the "electret". Upon leaving
the sphere the electret filled copper tubes are replaced by conventional
copper wire. Anelectrical connection is made from the outside surface
of one pole to one pole of a special type of battery which is groundedat
the other pole or, as an alternative, to a special devicecalled
an "Ur-machine" which will be discussed.
This electret
is a permanent magnet within the sphere. This type of magnetism
is not identical with ferro-magnetism or electromagnetism, it is
much stronger (8). The actual compositionof Schappeller's electret
remains a secret but another electrethas been made by Professor
Mototaro Eguchi. It consists of carnauba wax and resin, perhaps
also containing some beeswax. It was kept in a strong electric field
while baking slowly until itsolidified. For purposes of production
of Schappeller spheres, acomplete electret manufacturing plant would
have to be set upwhich had no parallel in present science (9).
Before being
set into operation, all the air is pumped from the hollow core of
the sphere. This whole ball is mounted on aswivel mechanism so that
the poles can be moved from the verticalto the horizontal. The stator
is completely unattached from therotor. The stator can function
without the rotor and the stator is capable of producing electrical
energy without the rotor. Therotor could also be used to generate
additional electrical energy.
The rotor consists
of: A steel wheel of special design fixed on
177
the shaft to
be driven and surrounded on its outer surface bymagnets which are
attracted and repelled by the force of thestator. The copper wire
attached to the internal copper tubingfilled with electret runs
through this wheel and supplieselectric power to the magnets. The
magnets are hollow and filled with the same electret. There are
always an odd number ofmagnets.
A variant of
this rotor comes to us from Taeufer, who refers tothis further development
as the "Ur-Machine". This machine iscomposed of six sphere
units as described above, five revolvingaround a sixth set above
or below the plane of the otherrevolving spheres. A seventh unit
would be employed to rotatethe rotating five spheres and so would
be offset, and notattached to the others. The five rotating spheres
would chargethe sixth stationary sphere. The sixth and seventh spheres
wouldfunction as an anode and cathode and so ground the unit. The
Ur-machine could be used to activate other spheres instead of a
battery-earthing procedure (10).
As a prime mover,
an engine, the rotor would be employed turninga driven shaft. The
stator would be offset, that is, moved offcenter in relation to
the rotor. Schappeller worked out various angles of efficiency (11).
The driven shaft could be used topower any number of machine applications
such as, for instance, the propellers of a ship.
Means of Operation
The device is
started through totally unique battery and a connection to the earth
(12). A specific excitation impulse mustbe given to the device (13).
This electric impulse was conducted through the iron magnet and
jumped the gap in the center of the sphere to the other iron magnet.
What occurred
then sets this device apart from all others. Inthe vacuum of the
sphere, in the center space between the two barmagnets a field of
"glowing magnetism" was set up. This glowingmagnetism
was something entirely unique. It is recognized as a magnetic field
but much more powerful and unlike any magneticfield of an iron bar
or an electric coil. Once the initial input had been made to start
the device, the battery and ground couldbe disconnected. The device
would continue of operate on its own (14).
For an understanding
of what is really happening here we have to consider the bar magnet.
We think of a bar of iron with twopoles, one positive and one negative
or perhaps one north and one south pole. But there are really three
components to the barmagnet. There are the two poles and the neutral
zone between the poles If we cut the magnet in half we get two new
poles. For theSchappeller this neutral area is very important. Imagine
a barmagnet running through the vertical axis of the ball. Then
imagine the center section cut out. We now have a north pole at
the top of the ball, a south pole at the bottom of the ball just
as we do with the planet Earth. In the center we have a missing
section with a south pole, opposing the north pole at the top ofthe
ball and, likewise, a north pole opposite the south pole at the
bottom of the ball. We have now four poles and a split barmagnet
with a gap in its center section.
It is this gap
in the center where Schappeller's "glowing magnetism"
is generated by grounding, that is, charging the device via a special
battery and an earth connection. This glowing magnetism is the mystery.
Davson cites Schappeller's calculations and gives this form of magnetism
as being one thousand times more powerful than that produced by
present magnetism (15). He also states that in this form of magnetism
the electricity is stationary while the magnetism is radiated (16).
To repeat again,
Davson contends throughout his book that this glowing magnetism
is not found in secondary physics, that is, in modern physics, and
that this glowing magnetism is a manifestation of primary physics.
As a phenomenon of primary physics, it is responsible for and can
generate heat, electricity and magnetism.
After initial
stimulation and in a state of glowing magnetism, nofurther input
of energy is needed from the battery. The deviceis able to draw
in energy to it directly from the surrounding aether, bind this
energy though its magnetic electret material,that is the filling
in the hollow copper coils of the internal coil, and then re-radiate
energy producing heat, electricity,magnetism or mechanical work
depending upon the application.
Stated another
way, this is an implosion device and it isdescribed as such (17)
(18). Unlike the Schauberger device which is associated with the
word implosion, the Schappeller deviceoperates purely at the energetic
level. Energy is drawn towardsthe center, through the magnets, into
the field of glowingmagnetism, and then radiated outward.
My first explanation
for this output of radiant energy involvesthe concept of the Bloch
Wall. A Bloch Wall is defined by Van Norstrand's Scientific Encyclopedia,
1958 edition, pages 201 and 202, as follows:
"This is
a transition layer between adjacent ferromagnetic domains magnetized
in different directions. The wall has a finite thickness of a few
hundred lattice constants, as it isenergetically preferable for
the spin directions to change slowlyfrom one orientation to another,
going through the wall ratherthan to have an abrupt discontinuity"
(18).
In electromagnetics
the Bloch Wall is external to the hardwareitself. It is the point
of division of the circling vortex, orspin, of the electronic magnetic
energies of the north and south poles. The negative north pole magnetism
spins to the left while the positive south pole spins to the right.
Energy is being conducted into the Schappeller device through the
un-insulatedpoles and being conducted and spun on its way to the
center of the unit. The point of zero magnetism, no spin and magnetic
reversal, where the two spin fields join, is the Bloch Wall (19).

Bloch Wall And
Oscillating Circuit
Top: Bloch
Wall, a gravity wave source as a function of the electromagnetic
spectrum? (Dr. Richard LeFors Clark)Bottom: Oscillating circuit.
Charged capacitor (electric field) discharges, current carried through
insulated wire to charge coil (magnetic field) which discharges,
charging capacitor. Oscillating electric and magnetic fields yield
electromagnetic waves.
The Block Wall
radiates energy. Remember, if energy is coming in then it must be
going out. The Bloch Wall may generate radio, radar and other electromagnet
frequencies but what is most interesting is that it is actually
able to radiate gravity as according to Dr. Richard Lefores Clark.
According to this interpretation, the conjunction of two dipolar
generated forcefield vectors, a quadropole force field or gravity
is generated according to Dr. Clark. Gravity being a quadropole
source, radiates in a circular, 360 degree, pattern of two cycles.
Dr.Clark has fixed the point of emission as below that of radar
and above infrared at 10 to the twelfth power Hertz (20). Dr.Richard
Lefors Clark believes gravity is a radiation (21) and so a "push".
Another Opinion
In late 2001,
I wrote a magazine article on the Schappeller device (22) which
contained most of the material described above.In that article a
request for alternative explanations for the Schappeller device
was made. I received a letter from Mr.Michael Watson, BSc, Charted
Physicist and Member of the Institute of Physics in the United Kingdom.
But there was something in Mr. Watson's background even more impressive
than his professional credentials. Cyril W. Davson was a family
friend whom Mr. Watson knew well in his youth and with whom he had
discussed Schappeller and his ideas at length, many times.In Mr.
Watson's letter was a brief summary of Schappeller's theory in which
he cut through most of the confusing terminology.
This summary
is important for a couple of reasons. Mr. Watson's summary of Schappeller's
aether theory as described by Davson dovetails nicely into the ideas
of Schauberger yet seems to allow for Tesla's experimental results
on aether as explained by Bill Lyne. The following is what I learned
from Mr. Watson's letter:
Most of us have
heard of the two Thermodynamic Laws. These are laws of heat. The
First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy is conserved, meaning
that the total amount of energy in the universe always remains the
same. This is no surprise for most of us and it is not the real
concern here.
What is of concern
is the Second Law of Thermodynamics which discusses heat and entropy.
The word entropy might be thought of as a state of randomness or
chaos. Negative entropy would then mean movement toward the less
random or the more ordered in any particular thing. If we apply
this to a system, then entropy tends to increase until the system
breaks down in utter chaos
181
This will occur
unless the system is re-charged with additional outside energy.
A concrete example is less confusing.
Imagine a new
automobile just coming off the assembly line. It has taken a great
deal of energy to find, refine, forge, weld,and paint the metal
parts of this car alone. This same concept also applies to all the
other components of the car. This energy and organization constitute
a highly organized state, or, said another way, a state of negative
entropy.
What happens
next illustrates entropy. The car is purchased.Whaether it is driven
hard or just sits in the garage does not matter in the long run
because what happens to the car is that it starts to fall apart.
This change may be small at first and may only occur at the molecular
level, but it occurs nevertheless.The engine, transmission, paint,
rubber, electronics, etc. all will fail with time. Even it the car
just sits in the garage, in a thousand years the metal will eventually
oxidize. Finally, the car rusts away forming a reddish brown heap.
This is exactly the opposite of the organization and energy used
to put the car togaether. This disorganization is entropy. The only
thing which will reverse this, as we all know, are additional inputs
of energy by the owner in the form of maintenance and repairs.
All things in
a relative state of relative order move toward a state of disorder.
In terms of heat, heat will always flow into a colder place from
a warmer place. When something is heated there is a rise in its
entropy. With increasing heat its molecules move faster and faster
in random chaos as a bomb does when it explodes. Increasing heat
means increasing randomness and chaos which is entropy. Cold, then,
can be seen in terms of negative entropy. Any cold object is simply
more organized and less random than the same object once it is heated.
Schappeller had
something to say about the Second Law of Thermodynamics. He said
there was another and unknown thermodynamic cycle which runs opposite
the Second Law. To name this idea we will call it "Reverse
Thermodynamics". It is the reverse of the Second Law of Thermodynamics
in that it leads to an increase in entropy. Not only is there an
increase in order but there is an increase in cold! Schappeller,
according to Mr. Watson's letter, built his spherical device primarily
to demonstrate the principles behind this Reverse Thermodynamics.It
was not designed as a practical machine.
To demonstrate
the difference between the Second Law of Thermodynamics and Reverse
Thermodynamics two theoretical machines shall be examined. Actually,
a machine running according to the Second Law of Thermodynamics
is not theoretical at all. Combustion machines are of this type.
For simplicity sake we will use a wood burning stove such as the
type invented by Benjamin Franklin for the heating of a house.
Wood is put in
a hollow iron vessel with an adjustable hole at one end. The adjustable
hole admits atmospheric oxygen. An initial small input of heat is
added to the wood and oxygen until burning occurs. A great deal
of heat is produced once the wood begins to burn. We know heat expands.
Carbon, carbon dioxide and water vapor are also produced as byproducts
of the combustion. Entropy is increased. Since entropy is increased,
so is pollution so perhaps we all can agree that this is a good
example of the destructive technology so characteristic of the world
in which we live.
In our example
of a theoretical Reverse Thermodynamic machine the byproducts of
the previous example can be used as fuel. But Schappeller's machine
has the additional property of being creative, that is, negatively
entropic. Schappeller believed this creative process to be individualistic,
so we need a specific template to use as a pattern for this creation.
Heat,water, and carbon dioxide are imputed into this machine. Quite
amazingly, oxygen is yielded as a byproduct of this reaction!The
heat is also absorbed in Schappeller's Reverse Thermodynamic machine!
This absorption of heat is another way of saying that the machine
is implosive in nature rather than expansive or explosive as was
the heat producing machine. What is most amazing, however, is that
entropy is actually reduced yielding, something which has been created
-wood!
Actually, this
machine is not theoretical either. It exists and works as we speak.
These machines are all around us. We call these machine "life".
In this case our machine is a tree. In the tree, energy, sunlight,
is absorbed and combined in a cold process with water and carbon
dioxide to form wood. The template used as a pattern for this seemingly
intelligent, creative,process is simply a seed. In this type of
reaction the "cold"force is something other than the absence
of heat. This cold is an active cold. It is a "densifying",
implosive cold. It is a life-giving cold. This is a cold, life giving
force. To quote Watson:
"This process
is life force and the reverse of the second law of thermodynamics;
it is the vital force: Vril."
This is one huge
difference between the physics of Schappeller and Schauberger and
the physics of the Nineteenth Century. The physics of the Nineteenth
Century explain everything in terms ofthe inanimate. Laws of physics
are written using inanimate examples. Chemical reactions are described
which stem from inanimate models. Animate models are simply made
to conform with the inanimate assuming that life is just a special
case which eventually will be shown to be nothing but chemistry
and so subject to the same Second Thermodynamic Law as the inanimate.Schappeller
and Schauberger both say in their own ways that this is not so.
They say, each in their own ways, that a new and different law of
thermodynamics applies to living forces. They say that this more
akin to a life process than previous theories allow. They say this
force is creative. Those that subscribed to these new ideas claim
it was not only a new physical law but anew science and that Germany
would lead the way to this new science. Let us take a closer look
at what is claimed to be the physics behind this new science.
The first concept
to be considered is cold. Cold in this sense does not mean the mere
absence of heat. This is interstellar cold, the cold found in the
vacuum of space. In this relative vacuum, matter is not found in
sufficient quantity to use to measure this cold. Think about how
we measure cold. We measure matter which is cold. We measure the
heat in air or water for instance. In the absence of matter how
would cold be measured? There is no doubt that if we could, for
instance, place a thermometer in a glass of water in deep space,
the temperature recorded would be at or very near absolute zero,
0 Kelvin or -273degrees Centigrade or -460 degrees Fahrenheit.
The presence
or absence of matter in deep space may be the subject of conjecture.
The presence or absence of energy in deep space is something universally
accepted. For instance, we all know that light passes through interstellar
space. We see the proof when we look up at the stars, planets or
the moon. Besides visible light, other electromagnetic radiations
freely pass through space. These include x-ray, gamma and cosmic
rays. Yet besides electromagnetic radiation many people now believe
that in the depths of space there resides another form of energy
with is found there as well as everywhere else all around us. This
energy sometime goes by the name of "zero point energy"
but for our purposes we can simply call it "aether energy".
It is sometimes argued that this energy is really the result of
aether rather than aether itself and that aether really is matter.
For a moment, let us postpone this discussion and focus on the vast,stretches
of interstellar space which are filled with aether energy, near
or at absolute zero.
Mr. Watson points
out Dawson's words on page 83 of The Physics Of The Primary State
Of Matter where he says:
"Cold is
not therefore the absence of heat, primary heat and
cold having nothing
to do with molecular action (in the
cosmos) there
are no molecules available".
The reader may
recall that something strange happens to electrical energy at absolute
zero. For instance, if a disc of conducting material is held at
absolute zero and the disc is given an electric charge, the electric
current will circulate around and around the disc forever, never
loosing its energy a sit would if the disc were sitting on an office
desk at room temperature. This property of cold is instrumental
in the storage of at least one form of energy. The vast stretches
of cold interstellar vacuum must be seen as a vast energy storage
sea in a state of heightened negative entropy. Schappeller called
this undirected matter-energy reserve potential "latent magnetism.
184
Out of this latent
magnetism, both energy and matter could be produced with the corresponding
stimulation. The non-excited electromagnetic field was viewed by
Schappeller as simply latent magnetism. Matter is a condensation
out of bipolar aether. Therefore, electromagnetism is a product
of matter and is nothing more than bipolar aether in a different
condition. Latent magnetism could be, then, excited into matter.
Latent magnetism could be influenced by either of the thermodynamic
principles discussed, the Second Law of Thermodynamics or by Reverse
Thermodynamics. This vast aether field, whose most notable characteristic
is the property of cold, latent and awaiting stimulus, is the progenitor
of both energy, as we know it, and of matter.
Since primary
cold, this vast reserve of negative entropy potential, is responsible
for both matter and energy and since all energy eventually degenerates
into heat, it follows that, asnavson puts it, again on page 83:
"Primary
heat, as may now be understood, is composed of cold energy".
This is seems
like a surprising play on words, especially from a man of science,
but this statement follows perfectly from Schappeller's reasoning
nevertheless.
We turn now to
Schappeller's concept of "stress". Both heat stress and
cold stress can be applied to an electromagnetic field. Heat stress
is the usual type of stress applied to electromagnetic fields in
secondary physics. Secondary physics is the physics of our everyday
world according to Schappeller.Primary physics is the physics dealing
with the cold force and aether yielding matter and energy, which
constitute the secondary reactions and so Schappeller uses the term
"secondary physics" to describe our world as we know it.
An example of
heat stressing of the electromagnetic field is the condenser and
the coil. A charged condenser results in an electric field and a
charged coil results in a magnetic field. A charged condenser and
coil, connected by a wire circuit alternately charge and discharge
each other, producing electromagnetic radiation unit the heat caused
by the resistance of the wire degrades the whole process into heat.
Heat stress on the electromagnetism is +/-.
Cold stress on
the electromagnetic field is something totally new to our science
and technology. It is also seen in terms of +/-but the machines
used to produce it are not known in our world.Mr. Watson did not
say this but if we return to our examples of heat stressed machines,
the condemn or and the coil, the corresponding cold stressed machines
might be the Schappeller sphere and the Schappeller coil electret.
The sphere collects the charge through the magnets, holds and condenses
it in its glowing center corresponding to the electric field of
the condenser. The internal coils filled with electret produce a
magnetic field in the presence of the intense and pulsing electric
field. According to my interpretation, the whole Schappeller sphere
is a combined condenser/coil combined into one machine made possible
through an initial input of cold stress.
As in our example
of the condenser/coil interaction producing an electromagnetic wave,
so an attraction exists between a machine obeying the Second Law
of Thermodynamics and one obeying the law of Reverse Thermodynamics.
This attraction can lead to interaction. For instance, an imploding
or centripetal vortex can couple with an exploding or centrifugal
vortex. The centripetal vortex is an example of a system following
the law of Reverse Thermodynamics while the centrifugal vortex represents
system following the Second Law of Thermodynamics. We have all seen
these two systems working togaether in everyday life. The common
toilet is such a machine although the centrifugal side forms inside
the drain pipe which is out of sight.
Perhaps there
is another example which is more germane to our discussion. It is
the diagram of the Vril power plant. (This engine diagram is used
here as an example for discussion and is not a blind endorsement
of the diagram's existence or accuracy.) In this interpretation
of this diagram, we are really dealing with two separate devices.
First, is the central spherical device which may be a refined version
of the Schappeller sphere.An initial charge would be imputed into
the sphere to start it after which the unit would continue to gather
up the surrounding energy. This is a Reverse Thermodynamic machine.
The sphere generates a magnetic field which could be offset by rotating
basin the Schappeller device. The offset field would feed and so
rotate the arms of the electric generator surrounding the sphere.
The electric generator would gather electric energy, feeding the
four large broadcasting fixtures on the walls of the saucer.These
fixtures might be, for instance, Tesla pancake coils. The electric
generator is an example of a machine complying with the Second Thermodynamic
Law.
Both components
of the power plant are bonded togaether in a single system since
the output energy of the broadcasting fixtures on the walls of the
saucer constitute additional input energy for the sphere. The two
components attract one another and use and depend upon one another
as they circulate and recirculate energy. As the energy level of
one component increases so does the energy level of the other. Indeed,
the biggest problem facing the use of such an engine may be employing
means to stop it.
The actual levitation
might be the particular electromagnetic radiation coming out of
the sphere. In this interpretation, the broadcast fixtures are used
to steer the saucer. Davson gives output frequencies for the sphere
as 10 to the sixth power (22).
Mr. Watson points
out in his letter that one reason machines utilizing the Reverse
Thermodynamic principle have not been recognized is that a cold
stressed magnetic field is a cold machine. Even a centripetal vortex
cools rather than heats. Al lour devices of measurement ultimately
measure heat in some form.Measurement of cold is more difficult.
The example already given, the problem of measuring temperature
in interstellar space in the absence of matter is an example of
this problem.
Finally, the
reader will recall that Mr. Watson points out that electromagnetism
manifests itself bipolarity, yielding four components in all. These
are +/- hot electromagnetism and +/-cold electromagnetism. The reader
will recall that two hot electromagnetic components can be joined
(the condenser and the coil) and set into a cycle producing an electromagnetic
wave. I sit possible that two complementary hot electromagnetic
and cold electromagnetic machines could be set into cycle producing
not a bi-polar but a quadropolar, 360 degree radiation, such as
the one described by Dr. Richard Lefores Clark, to produce gravity?
Planned Uses
For The Schappeller Device
If the above
discussion has any meaning at all in the quest for an answer to
the UFO question, one use for which the Schappeller device must
have been destined was that of a power plant for a flying machine.
Was this so? The Schappeller device had many planned uses. In 1930
this device was planned as a source of broadcast energy, reminiscent
of Tesla, for both German homes and industry. The device could also
be used as a generator, battery,transformer, or antenna (23). It
is reported that toward the end of the war the SS researched the
possibility of using this device in the form of a death ray (24).
But additionally, and in answer to our question, the Schappeller
device was envisioned as a levitation device for a flying machine.
Here is some of that discussion from our sources:
"The new
dynamic technology will, in the future, be able to drive electric
locomotives and automobiles without the manufacture of costly armatures
and everywhere through connection to the atmospheric voltage network.
Hypothetically, is certainly the installation of a sufficient number
of central amplification facilities which transports from the Ur-Machine
the specific magnetic impulse from the dynamic spherical element.
New types of aircraft with magneto-static power devices and steering,
which are completely crash and collision proof, could be built for
a fraction of the cost of today's aircrafts€”and without
the lengthy training of everyone who will be servicing these aircraft".
From "Vril"
Die Kosmische Urkraft Wiedergeburt von Atlantis by Johannes Taeufer,
page 48.
"Our problem
must be to drive toward the space ship problem to new understanding
of a realization! Here a definite postulate can be established:
"Spherical space ship with its own atmosphere€”also
technical creation of small planets with world dynamic propulsion
and buoyancy!".
Will this be
possible? --
Major powers
in the world prepare themselves in any case presently, especially
in Germany."
The above from
Weltdynamismus Streifzuege durch technisches Neuland an Hand von
biologischen Symbolen. pages 11 and 12.Please note the use of the
words "spherical space ship"(Kugelraumschiff).
From Davson in
The Physics Of The Primary State Of Matter, page 240:
"The Rotor
is laminated to prevent eddying and the magnets do not project;
the Rotor periphery is thus entirely equiradial.The Rotor is fixed
to the shaft to be driven and the Stator is fixed about a metre
above the earth's surface. The latter is, of course, flexible because
the earth can include the sea or even the floor of an aether-ship."
From Davson,
page 199:
"As has
already been explained, the new Technique will not concern itself
with the air as a supporting medium, but directly with the aether.
Therefore, the body may be a vertical sealed cylinder with conic
ends or any other suitable form. Such a body is obviously rigid
and inelastic, and it must contain an aether stress of sufficient
intensity to support its mass against thither stress of the earth's
stress field, which means that the glowing magnetism core in the
Stator, provided in the body to be lifted, must be able to vary
its intensity according to the height at which the aether-ship is
to be raised and supported whilst in transit, as the aether stress
or field, itself, varies inversely as the square of the distance
from the earth's surface.The actual design and solution of all the
various problems in the production of such ships, the choice of
methods of propulsion,whaether independent or directional, belong
to the new Technique,whereas here we are only interested in the
principle as applied to the problem of Gravitation."
Finally, from
Davson, page 177:
"Now the
reason that an unsupported body falls to the ground is primarily
because it has "no hold" on the medium. It was previously
explained that any inert mass or body has only a latent stress field
which functions merely as the force of cohesion and has no mobility
and thus only a latent internal stressfield and no external stress
field. This means that it has no "hold" on any elastic
medium such as the aether or the air,therefore it must fall, and
it falls towards the greater inductive energy.
188
If the inductive
energy, through some exterior cause, could be made suddenly to increase
enormously, there would come a point when the body would be supported,
or rather suspended, before it reached the earth's surface.
The new Technique
could accomplish this by placing a Schappeller Stator in the body
in question, where the body is suitably constructed, thus setting
up a glowing magnetic stressfield which would hold or keep the weight
or mass of the unit body suspended, not in the air€”the
stress field would have no reaction on the air€”but only
on the earth's magnetic stress field.
This is the basis
of the new principle for "aether ships""
Employing the
Schappeller mechanism is only half the total explanation. In a field
propulsion saucer there are possible two types of "drive"
needed. The first is the "Auftrieb" or levitation. Employment
of levitation makes the craft buoyant.It weighs nothing. If it weighs
nothing it can be moved very easily. "Antrieb", impulse
or motive power is the second drive involved. It moves the craft
directionally. Levitation only would be supplied by the Schappeller
system. Directional movement is so far best explained, in my mind,
using the Tesla pancake coils as explained by Bill Lyne.
Concluding Thoughts
on the Schappeller Device
In the end, what
can be said of the Schappeller device? certainly, it did exist.
It drew attention and funding from people within the German government
of the time. It was studied by a qualified outsider, a British engineer,
for a period of three years and was judged to be genuine.
There are some
obvious problems, however. Exotic energies have been evoked which
have not been explained satisfactorily.Therefore, the facts are
not in evidence yet. Certainly more proof is required before the
claims made for this device or the energies involved can be wholly
accepted. For the time being we must put this discussion aside,
awaiting further correlations.
There are some
solutions connected with this device also. If we accept the idea
that both the Schauberger and the Schappeller devices worked on
the theory of implosion, then one explanation will serve to explain
them both. It also allows for an aether-as- matter explanation.
This may fit into the evidence gathered by Nikola Tesla. The commonality
of these devices could then besought and perhaps a more efficient
device built as a result. We will pick up this theme again in the
discussion section of this book.
It should be
pointed out that the quest for this "new science" is not
specific to Schappeller or Schauberger. Mr. Watson passed on these
words from Ehrenfried Pfeiffer, a scientist who collaborated with
Dr. Rudolf Steiner around 1920. Although he is not happy with the
translation he sent it as he found it which is as it is presented
here:
"...the
method of science, in a materialistic sense, is based on analysis
splitting apart, disintegration, separation, dissecting and all
the procedures which have to destroy and take apart, to work on
the corpse rather than to grow, to develop, to synthesize. That
the human mind was captured by these methods of braking apart: in
that I saw the source of our present situation.My question therefore
was: (to Rudolf Steiner) is it possible to find another force or
energy in nature, with does not have in itself the ductus of atomizing
and analysis but builds up, synthesizes. Would we discover that
constructive force, which makes things alive and grow, develop adequate
building up of methods investigation, eventually use this force
for another type of technic, applied to drive machines, than because
of the inner nature of this force or energy we might be able to
create another technology, social structure, constructive thinking
of man rather than destructive thinking. This force must have the
impulse of life, of organization within itself as the so-called
physical energies have the splitting, separating trend within themselves.
My question to
Rudolf Steiner October 1920 and spring 1921 therefore was: does
such a force or source of energy exist? Can it be demonstrated?
Could an altruistic technic be build upon it?".
My questions
were answered as follows: "Yes, such a force exists, but is
not yet discovered. It is what is generally known the aaether (not
the physical aether) but the force which makes things grow, lives
for instance in the seed as Samenkraft. Before you can work with
this force you must demonstrate its presence. As we have reagents
in chemistry, so you must find a reagent for the aaetheric force.
It is also called formative aaetheric force because it is the force
which relates the form, shape, pattern of a living thing, growth.
You might try crystallization processes to which organic substrata
are added. It is possible then to develop machines, which react
upon and are driven by this force.Rudolf Steiner than outlined the
principles of the application of this force as source of a new energy..."
Since this quest
for a new science with the accompanying new machines had a relatively
long history in Germany, certainly pre- dating the 3rd Reich, it
is almost certain that the Schappeller device or others built along
a similar understanding were further developed during the Nazi period.
What became of it after the war is unknown. It can be assumed that
this device did not escape the scrutiny of the numerous Allied intelligence
units tasked with combing Germany for examples of German science.
Perhaps someday a government report will be de-classified explaining
all this as it was in the case of another free-energy machine, that
being the Hans Coler device, which was declassified by the British
in 1978 (25) and which worked, according to Mr. Watson, using the
same principles of cold magnetism. Until that final reckoning comes
aspects of the Schappeller device will still remain a mystery. And
until a more final reckoning comes, the question of if the Schappeller
device was used as a source of field propulsion in German flying
saucers must be deferred.
