Those of you following my current electroculture adventure will already know how I installed a paramagnetic tower & magnetised cables on my land a few days ago with a big smile on my face. Today I am going to show you how I have changed the Yannick Van Doorne design of basic atmospheric antenna to infuse it with my own energy. In addition I want to tell you about how these antenna can protect against hail when one has a bunch of them in their garden. This will become more and more important as we enter deeper into the Grand Solar Minimum this decade. Hail stones the size of cricket balls will snap most plants in two, so knowing how to protect against them in an eco friendly manner is an extremely important skill.
And here we go again with another awesome electroculture device!
Basic atmospheric antenna
This is what I bought from Yannick Van Doorne's website for €33.
It is known as a basic antenna because for €92 you can buy this more recent design which also captures magnetic energy with its directional steel rod through the middle.
Due to the weight of this one it must be supported on a metal pole of some kind, but it brings with it additional advantages which are described in this document.
I realise it's all in French but you get the basic idea from the diagrams.
All on its own with an influence radius equivalent to the height of the antenna.
Using a galvanised steel cable 10cm under the earth one can extend this field of influence in a straight line for kilometres, running due north from the antenna. (The is the same idea as described in previous post with magnetic cables).
A circular metal grill is used around the antenna, upon which (mega sized) plants are grown.
While I do intend to build this antenna once I have some magnets, for now I just have the basic design which due to its light weight will be supported on top of a long piece of bamboo like this.
I added this piece of copper tube and filled it with small steel rods for stability.
For your information, any other silver coloured metal works good with copper because it creates that flow of electrons described in my earth battery experiment.
Using steel rods for support also permits me to add my fibonacci spirals at the top.
To make the spirals I carved the exact shape into a piece of wood and used this template to bend each piece perfectly.
They fitted with ease into my new antenna.
Looks much better now right?
I have this roll of 0.5mm copper cable which I want to use for the connection to the ground, but I realise now it would have been better to use something thicker like 1.5mm.
I tried to connect the strands together by twisting but this didn't really work.
Regardless, I connected the top with the bottom and felt like I was good to go.
Here I am on route to the garden.
The bottom of the device can be seen here, with a good amount of copper to make that connection with the earth.
In the end I decided to use five 0.5mm wires for the connection. One for each of my five spirals.
Right. Let's get this in the air.
First I dig a hole.
Then I bash a metal pole into the hole to get it extra deep.
This way your stick will sit naturally in the hole (once you've removed the metal pole) and have extra stability when you fill in the dirt.
And that's it! One upgraded antenna.
I put my feet up and admired my handiwork while enjoying a few rays of sunshine.
Sitting here I contemplated these 'cosmic rays' I am now collecting. What are they? Where do they come from? Can I measure their presence? How do I know this is working?
In time the answers will come.
Hail protection
Let me quickly explain here that when "dozens" of these basic antenna are placed around your land it is claimed they are able to protect against hail stones. How this works is beyond me? I have looked online for evidence but can find none. Only modern methods which appear to involve shooting chemicals into the sky 15mins before the hail arrives. Which is quite obviously insane. So for now all we have is the word of Yannick Van Doorne.
I will contact Yannick directly to find out his source data for this claim. He has an extensive collection of literature and I feel sure this information does indeed have a source.
In the long run my intention is to build 20 of these and put the idea to the test, while running a waterproof camera in the garden to capture photographic evidence of this impossible sounding phenomena. Perhaps I will be the first?
My feeling is that a field of antennae will create an energetic dome of some kind.
In a hail storm this energy field will be clearly visible so I am exited to show you what it looks like!
Lightning
I should also mention here that our goal is to attract lightning using this type of antenna. My perception of this is that a lightning strike would melt my tiny copper wires in an instant, but maybe my perception is wrong?
What we know for sure is that when the energy of a lightning strike is successfully passed into the ground it has a tremendous effect on the plants in the area. I have seen gardeners reporting how their cucumbers are able to double in size overnight as a consequence of harnessing the power of a passing electrical storm.
Here are Yannick's notes which came with the antenna.
They basically describe how negatively charged electrons (and water) are pulled up from the ground and out of the top of the antenna towards the positively charged sky. An electrical canopy is created, which one assumes is the mechanism behind the hail protection.
Suddenly I noticed Fifi sitting right next to me in her pink Queen's throne! What a beautiful cat she is.
She basically lives in the garden these days, since realising she doesn't much like her two offspring who are more comfortable living in and around our house.
I gave her a few biscuits which I keep in the garden shed and once more turned my attention to the effects of this antenna, which has an influence radius equivalent to its height.
These raspberries are well within the radius and should benefit greatly.
Even across the path here we have another bed which is close enough to be getting some of that cosmic good stuff.
Over on the other side of the garden I have these peas, some of which have colour coded Lakovski coils at their base, hidden under the leaves. These peas are too far however from the antenna to be affected.
They are also too far from the magnetic line I dug in last week, so I will likely make a bunch of spirals & coils for them as time goes on.
I said goodbye to Fifi and headed back home with a marigold.
Why a marigold?
Because these flowers don't last long in water and provide the perfect opportunity to run a relatively fast test with the wooden pyramid I made last week.
I intend to prove that water which has been kept inside a pyramid for three days will be able to make cut marigolds last longer than they would normally. If memory serves 'normally' is no more than a few days. I will be using a control group and also a professionally made copper pyramid for this experiement.
Stay tuned to find out how I did...
Love & Light everyone 🐱
