Made another antenna last week

I finally made some time to finish the videos about my garden. This first video is from 3 weeks ago. The cables with the magnets are galvanized wires, I misname those a few times in the video.

This is from today.

This is how I am growing my seeds this year. First picture is also from 3 weeks ago. The second one is from today. We did the changing to bigger pots today.

Any tips, questions or remarks then please share.

At the 10.30 mark I turn around one of the towers and take of the mold. I do that so it can dry a little better. The towers are 1 piece. I put a little mixture in the cone and then put the pipe in and fill it up so it’s all one piece. You could also poor the cilinder and cone seperate and then when it’s dry just put a cone on the cilinder. I made my first towers like that but I didnt like it cause the cone can easily fall off. They break easily. If a tower stands on stone tiles and falls over high chance it’s broken.

The mixture isnt written in stone. I use 50-55% basalt, 10-15% cement and 35-40% cement.
For 1 tower I use
2,75 liter basalt = 52.4%
0,60 liter cement = 11,4%
1,90 liter sand = 36.2%
That is 5,25 liter in total.
I use around 1,5 liter of water which is 28,5% of that 5,25 liter.
I am not super secure with this so when I mix everything its possible that I use 2.9 liter of basalt and 0,65 liter cement and 2 liter of sand.

So far my towers and cones surived all weather conditions we have here. It could be that if you live in a area with very strong frost in the winter that things might crack and break. You’ll have to tweak you mixture then but I have no idea how to tweak it. Luckily it doesn’t get too cold here. This winter it didnt get colder then -8 degrees celcius in the night.

For people who don’t own a 3D printer. Here we have companies that 3D print on request, so you send them the file and they print it for you. Pretty sure you have them in other countries also.

I can email the stl file for the cones to anyone interested. If Mike ever decides to add more supported files to be uploaded here I’ll just add it to this post.

Hey Kevin and everybody else. I promised some video’s. In this video I am showing how I make the basalt towers. I tried to upload the .stl file for the cones but it’s not supported.

Last summer I started with the electro culture after I found the work of Yannick. I was mostly learning and slowly start to use his techniques but the small results I saw were impressive and so far my chickens also like it a lot. I even bought a 3D printer so I could print my own molds for the paramagnetic towers. Coming season I really hope to see the effects of everything I am making. I did the steel cables with magnets, the big and small paramagnetic towers. Small atmospheric antennas and a big 12 meter antenna, the basalt, the Lakhovsky circuits, the Ighina spirals and the 432Hz rainbow colored chime. For next season I am making a new bigger garden were I want to apply these things also. I am currently on holiday in Colombia but when I get back home to the Netherlands I will make some pictures and share them here.
I even prepared a pallet with everything to make above techniques to ship here to Colombia and try it on farms here but my transporter failed to ship the pallet. Maybe I try it again next time I go to Colombia.

Yea I got that one but it’s only the cirle part. I didnt order it but it he put it with my delivery because something went wrong last summer. I didn’t bother using it but now I will.

I also just checked his shop to see that Fibonacci mold. That is funny because I’ve been thinking for months now to have somebody design exactly that mold for my 3D printer. Which I will still do and now I can show my designer exactly what I want. It will only cost a couple of euro’s to print it.

[Nick]

Really awesome!
Looking forward to your control experiment when you make a metal one ?

[Nick]

Awesome results Hal. I have this fractal antenne from Yannick laying around that I havent used yet. This is good inspiration, it will be in the garden this week ?

[Nick]

Sounds interesting! Looking forward to see all ideas and results of people the coming season.

I also got some pink quartz to use in the garden.

The 3D printer I got to print the molds for the 51degrees tower heads and separate cones. The cones and towers are made of a mixture of paramagnetic basalt, cement and sand (and a natural pigment for the colored ones). Inside I put a copper double Ighina spiral with a quartz crystal in it. Al inspired by Yannicks work. The paramagnetic basalt was hard to get. Bought the powder in Germany, while there visited the awesome cathedral in Cologne. Now that is a master piece of electro culture! And the basalt gravel I had to buy in Belgium. For the big 1.5m towers I used ceramic pipe and filled that up with the basalt gravel. Also with the copper spiral and quartz inside.

Might take some weeks before I come with pictures since I’ll be returning to the Netherlands on 1st of February but I won’t forget ?

I spend between 1000 and 1500 euro’s in his shop. Every time I saw an episode I ordered some stuff. He sells his stuff pretty expensive. For a one time purchase it’s oke, it supports all of his work. But to really use everything it gets to expensive for me so I started to make it myself. Like I said in my reply in the other topic. when I get back from holiday I will take pictures so you can see all the things. I can even share some 3d printer files for the paramagnetic cones for who is interested.

I really love Yannicks work. I purchased many of his items he sells on his website and start making them myself. The 7 part series is a must watch if you want to learn about electro culture. The 7 part series he did for Angela Durante. If you check her youtube you will find the series with Q&A and you will learn even more. The first episode of that series doesnt have a Q&A but the others do. I link them below.
