Bibliography
Annotated Sources
Primary and high-trust sources for water implosion, Viktor Schauberger, cavitation, Bernoulli physics, thermodynamics, and health-claim boundaries.
This bibliography favors primary records, institutional engineering references, regulatory guidance, and peer-reviewed reviews. It does not treat promotional Schauberger or structured-water pages as proof of physics or health claims.

Source weighting
PKS is the right starting point for Schauberger chronology because it identifies itself as the family archive and preserves original manuscripts, models, prototypes, and patent context. It is still a legacy archive, not a neutral performance laboratory. Patent records document what was filed, not what was independently validated.
NASA and Bureau of Reclamation references are used for physics because they express mainstream fluid and thermodynamic principles. FTC and EPA materials are used for consumer-health and water-treatment boundaries because they define practical standards for claims and treatment decisions in the United States.
