SOLUTIONARY ELECTROCULTURE
Let’s co-create a new agricultural reality together.
The Fertile Current was birthed from the amalgamation of lifelong pursuits and interests of mine, Chris Winters. I am now grateful to offer handcrafted comprehensive electroculture antennas and other tools to those who “hear the calling” within their hearts and minds.
What is electroculture?
Electroculture, sometimes known as Magneto-culture, simply put is the agricultural utilization of feeble voltage to stimulate electro-magnetic actions in the soil. These actions catalyze the transmuting of elements within the soil which have an array of benefits. This transmutation of soil elements was referred to by Rudolf Steiner as “Spiritual Digestion”. The word alchemy itself comes from the Arabic word “Al-Kimit” which directly refers to the black enlivened electromagnetic soils of the fertile Nile Delta. These soils were known to have transmutative properties.
Another way to view the principles of Electroculture are through the works of Michael Faraday and what’s known as Faraday’s first law of electromagnetic induction which states “Whenever a conductor is placed in a varying magnetic field, an electromotive force is induced. If the conductor circuit is closed, a current is induced, which is known as ‘induced current’.” The voltage is created by this change in magnetic flux of the ground wires in our application. This is expanded upon in Lenz’s Law. “Current” flows from positive to negative using the antennas to collect the positive charge via atmospheric electricity, telluric current, electrochemical exchange, and environmental factors and conduct this energy to the negatively charged earth at the point of grounding.
Some of the benefits of Electroculture include: increased yield, reduced pest pressure, disease resistance, reduced fertilizer requirements, vibrancy in color, increased nutrient density and others by the electromagnetic current. We have solely relied on our organic vegetable production farm to support our family for over a decade and have seen first-hand the amazing results of Electroculture. For us it has been a comprehensive and certainly worthwhile endeavor. Though we have grown “large” vegetables with the methods, huge vegetables are not the goal with Electroculture. Instead, higher yields, consistently sized and nutrient dense vegetables, vibrant plants that suffer less pest and disease pressure is. The oversized vegetables produced in some Electroculture systems is a testament to the overall vigor it generates in the plant, giving them a longer life span to grow to such a large size.
In Medical Qigong, one of the basic exercises is known as “Pulling Down Heavens.” In this exercise, positive yang solar energy (chi) is collected and paired with negative yin earth energy. When combined and conducted through the practitioner, these energies create a balanced energy (chi, prana, life force) thus encouraging vitality, balance and overall health. This is essentially the same concept used in the antennas and it is intrinsic to ALL life.
How do the antennas work?
The Fertile Current Paramagnetic Electroculture Antennas function by collecting positive electricity which then pair with the negatively charged earth’s ground to create electromagnetic flux in the wire between the 2 polarities. This fluxing electromagnetic energy creates voltage according to Faraday’s First Law.
Our antennas feature either a steel wire array which collects free electrons from the troposphere (CW1) or a copper tensor rod which produces piezoelectric charge(CW2). Both models include a brass telluric current collection rod harnessing the electrical energy that flows freely between the earth’s poles, a magnetic pile in phase with telluric current aiding in conduction, a Voltaic pile generating voltage by means of the electrochemical exchange of copper and zinc and a thermocouple generating millivoltage and operating on a principle known as the “Seebeck Effect”.
This Seebeck effect is a production of voltage produced by dissimilar metal conductors at different temperatures. Atmospheric electricity is the charge between the Earth’s surface, the atmosphere and the ionosphere, known as the “Toroidal Atmospheric Electrical Current.” Thunderstorms charge the electrosphere to approximately 400,000 volts with respect to the surface. This charge creates an electric field throughout the atmosphere which decreases with an increase in altitude. Cosmic Rays (solar winds) and natural radioactivity move abundantly in the electric field. This current flows throughout the atmosphere near and far from active storms.
In the practice of Electroculture, it’s not high voltage we are seeking. We only require feeble voltage to be collected by the antennas so that between the positive potential of the antennas and negative potential of the Earth’s ground we induce an electromagnetic current through the buried wire. This is “Electromagnetic Induction”.
All of the electrical components are internally solder bonded to the 8 gauge connection wire of the antenna inside the copper pipe and the core is filled with paramagnetic rock powder. The benefits of the additional paramagnetic rock powder is multi-faceted. This cosmic mineral attracts and draws down the force of the solar winds and energizes the soil. In medical Qigong terms, this Yang energy is spiraling down from Heaven (positive charge) to Earth (negative charge). Paramagnetic Basalt rock is also one of the only rock minerals to have a naturally high capacitance in raw form, essentially turning the antenna body into a Basalt battery. Phil Callahan was a pioneer in studying soil paramagnetism and wrote many great books on the subject.
These features, harmoniously combined, make The Fertile Current Paramagnetic Electroculture Antennas a comprehensive solutionary addition to any and all agricultural systems and are made by hand with pure loving intentions.
