IWONE is a workshop covering non-traditional ways to affect water flow,
water quality, plants, weather and eco-systems, as well as
non-traditional alternative energy sources. Historically the workshop
has had a focus on ideas related to the Austrian naturalist Viktor
Schauberger. The workshop is organized by Institute of
Ecological Technology (IET) - a non-profit foundation and distributed
self-organizing research institute, situated in Sweden.
The idea is that the participants should hold speeches (15-60 minutes)
in order to present new ideas or to inform about their actual
work or recent research. We also encourage discussions, and the
participants will get feedback through discussions and interaction with
the audience. If you do not have a presentation, it is possible to
participate as a listener (if there is space). The maximum number of
participants is 60.
Focus areas
The focus areas for IWONE 2019 are:
- Alternative
water treatment
- Indirect
effects on plants and soil
- Alternative
climate influencing - with focus on restoring ecosystems and healing
nature
(For
definitions, see below.)
We will reserve the time for presentations for papers within the focus
areas, but may accept interesting papers that are clearly within
the other areas below as poster presentations. Papers may also be
accepted as poster presentations if you cannot attend in person.
Presentations dealing with practical
results and working prototypes are
encouraged.
We try to maintain a balance between speeches that cover theoretical,
experimental and practical results. On the afternoons there will be
time for some practical workshops. A minor exhibition area exists for
those who want to display a product or to demonstrate an experimental
set-up.
Alternative water
treatment
This focus area covers alternative (non-chemical) ways of treating
water to improve its quality for drinking, for plants and agriculture,
and for other uses, as well as unconventional methods to measure and
assess water quality.
It could e.g. include the effects of vortexing and water motion on
water quality, magnetic water treatment, indirect water treatment
(information transfer to water), water memory effects etc. It could
also include methods to measure the effects of water treatment and
assess water quality with crystallization patterns, absorption spectra,
Kirlian photography etc.
Indirect influences
on plants and soil
This focus area covers intangible ways to influence the quality and
growth of plants as well as the quality of soil.
It could e.g. include the effects of Schauberger's garden repulsator
and bio-machines, paramagnetic towers (Callahan), pyramid greenhouses,
meditation and other alternative influences on vegetation. It could
also include the effects of alternatively treated water, clay singing
and biodynamic preparations on the quality of plants and on soil
structure.
Alternative climate
influencing - with focus on restoring ecosystems and healing nature
This focus area covers intangible ways to affect the large scale
processes of nature - i.e. geological, hydrological and atmospheric
processes as well as ecosystem attraction basins. E.g. ways to affect
clouds, humidity, weathering- and sedimentation processes, and the
distribution of species, i.e. the conditions that make up the state of
an ecosystem as a whole.
In this area we particularly encourage presentations relevant to
restoration of eco-systems and healing nature.
It could e.g. include research related to: Schauberger's bio-machines
applied to restoration of eco-systems, Reich's cloudbusters applied to
restoring the humidity in arid areas, Schauberger's bio-condensator and
electrostatic effects on the atmosphere (e.g. on precipitation),
restoring natural waters and eco-systems with alternative water
treatment, application of biodynamic preparations in forestry and
wildlife area management, permaculture perspectives applied to large
scale restoration of nature. It could also include effects of
consciousness (e.g. meditation) on the large scale processes of nature.
Other areas that we
typically cover
Here are some other areas that the IWONE
conferences typically cover, but which are not part of the focus areas
for IWONE 2019.
Non-traditional alternative energy sources
This area covers non-traditional alternative energy sources. Whereas
traditional alternative energy sources cover conventional wind power,
solar energy etc., this area focuses on potential sources of renewable
energy that are little known or not generally recognized as being
useful energy sources. It could involve means to extract latent heat
from the atmosphere, unconventional turbine designs (e.g. Schaubergers
spiral turbines), heat pumps with anomalous properties, or means to use
atmospheric electricity or natural electromagnetic fields as an energy
source. It could also involve more exotic topics such as means to
extract gravitational energy, low energy nuclear reactions (known as
"cold fusion"), and other "free energy" devices.
Alternative water
flow
This area covers guiding and self-organizing water flow (e.g.
Schauberger’s energy bodies), temperature regulation of water courses,
sloping logs, and other forms of indirect river regulation. It also
covers areas like the effects of interaction between vegetation and
river courses on the stability and evolution of the river bed, and
alternative means to conduct water, e.g. double spiral pipes, fin
pipes, Knossos pipes, Schauberger kudu pipes, flowforms etc.
In this area we particularly encourage presentations relevant to
testing Viktor Schauberger's river restoration principles and
observations of untouched rivers.
It could e.g. include: research related to temperature and water
movement in untouched natural waters, experiments with Viktor
Schauberger's perspectives on river restoration, etc. Also papers
relating to Viktor Schauberger's forestry management (particularly if
it is related to water).
Alternative
propulsion systems
This area covers practical means of
propulsion that are little explored. It could e.g. involve Coanda
saucers, Schauberger's repulsine, lifters, propulsion by suction or by
using oscillatory wave motions.
