This 3D model is a precise reproduction of Walter Schauberger’s clear water vortex funnel, engineered for investigating the natural spiraling motion of water as it flows through a hyperbolic funnel. Based on Walter’s original experiments, this funnel was specifically designed to enhance the visibility of vortex formations, providing valuable insight into the predictable harmonic patterns that water follows when guided through a naturally curved structure.
The funnel, measuring 10 inches in length, features an inlet designed for easy attachment to a standard hose, creating controlled water flow to produce a vortex within the enclosure. Walter Schauberger observed that when water moves through this hyperbolic geometry, it consistently forms a well-defined spiral resembling a spinal column. This phenomenon, which he documented, can only be produced within a funnel of this precise shape.
For those seeking to recreate Schauberger’s work or further their own investigations into fluid dynamics, this model offers an accurate representation of the funnel’s geometry. When printed in clear material, the internal vortex structure becomes fully visible, allowing detailed observation of the flow patterns.
The model includes two triangulated supports for secure mounting, each with holes for screws. Intended strictly for research, educational, or artistic purposes, this file is made available for those with a professional or academic interest in fluid vortex behavior. The design closely follows the principles laid out by both Viktor and Walter Schauberger, who emphasized direct observation of natural phenomena.
