yes. you did it sleeping in a tent. awesome. this way you avoided the crowded parts overnight in albergues and such. during the day, there is plenty of space sure. on the GR11 I hardly came across anyone on weekdays, a few hikers on the weekends.
My son was born in Mallorca. I bet they have chosen to be born on islands for a reason !
Barcelona also plays a big role in my the rest is history sequence of events. funny.
working full swing now on towers. wanted you and maybe Yannick to watch and comment on this video:
he talks about energies swirling clock or counter clock wise and this made me wonder about possible negative effects..? and made me think about how to actually choose the "right" or "best" place for a tower.
take good care, talk to you soon !
So many little connections here. Amazing :)
And great find with this video!
30+ years working in paramagnetics might just make him the world's most experienced teacher. Didn't know Callahan ended up in Australia till now! I suppose it makes the perfect place to test it out and prove effectiveness, alongside other producers who struggle to grow at all.
In the film he is clear, for us in the northern hemisphere the electron spin should be clockwise so if for some reason they spin the opposite direction, the tower will have the opposite effect, potentially rendering the land useless for up to ten years! Yannick doesn't mention this at all on his website (despite selling towers) so I will check this with him immediately. The first question which comes to mind is how do we measure coriolis effect on our land? Is it really just as simple as putting a hole in the bottom of a bucket and seeing which direction the water spins on its way out? Have seen various tricksters making money on the equator where they 'prove' how the coriolis effect changes direction when moved just a small distance across the equator line, and consequently I am a bit confused now if this is actually a genuine way to measure it.
I tried to find further information about Juergen Schmidt online but there is nothing at all, which is strange. With only one clunky film on his youtube page and a pretty basic website there is something about this which doesn't add up, especially as he says he has been surveying properties and making towers for 30 years. Regardless, he clearly knows his stuff and I will write him an email to see if he is willing to share more details. If Yannick doesn't know him already am pretty sure they two of them will enjoy chatting!
Let's see...
So, my reaction to this is similar. I was surprised because I never considered a tower can have a negative effect. he without a doubt knows his s**t.
would it be to scary people so they "need" his services..?
I would like to take all the necessary trouble to produce a good quality tower, and to have it well positioned to actually have the best possible results.
I do love the idea of "getting rid" of frosts. this for me will be a real game changer !
I´de love to see Yannick´s opinion on that.
thanks.
I have written to Yannick. Let's see what he says...
The idea of frost protection is not entirely out of line with Yannick's claim that an array of his antennae work as hail protection. Though he failed to give me any direct source for this claim when I asked him, saying it is referenced in lots of "old books". I actually lost a bit of respect for him in this moment. You can't make such bold claims on your website (next to a product you are selling) without having the source data at your fingertips. That's just my opinion of course.
I particularly enjoy the idea that if a person is not in a hurry they can live anywhere in the world now. Even the places where the soil is regarded as not appropriate for growing food. Stick up two towers, wait five years and Bob's your uncle!
Ah wait! I just checked and I see Yannick has responded!
"For me this guy tells lot of nonsense and shows not one serious result from 30 years. I'm totally against using metal for round towers. What he is doing is something else."
Wow. Not sure what to say now.
haha. that makes two of us ; )
thanks for writing him.
my intuition pulls toward Yannick.
I will sleep on all that and watch this video again to see what it makes me feel.
He followed on a few hours later with these words:
"there are lots of people like this now, especially in electroculture since one year ago, in Germany, USA and Australia"
Indeed, as I said a few messages back, there was something about this Australian guy which didn't add up. The drone shots of his land didn't show any amazing-looking foliage and let's be honest, he looked a bit fat & unhealthy for a person living next to a tower and growing high nutrition food for the last 30 years! Yannick on the other hand fits the visual image one would expect. And he produces a new video literally every day, showing his findings.
The only thing I would say is that Yannick may also suffer from the influence of potential business coming his way. Naturally he has made his own version of the tower which is hard to re-create at home (you would need to make a mould before mixing the basalt/cement). Have looked online and these moulds are difficult to find unless you have one custom built (51 degrees is not a popular angle!) so one would either buy a mould from Yannick or just buy the tower from him, both of which would likely be cheaper than trying to so it yourself at home.
yes. but I love a good challenge ! I am in the process of making my own towers. I am at the resourcing stage ; ) will tell you more when I advance a bit.
another oddity I wanted to share with you. Yannick draws the 51 degrees as the top angle (the point) as in here:
but when you consult a pyramid calculator the angle is marked as the base to wall angle as in here:
what are your thoughts on that ?
I am actually going to measure the angle of the point on a photo of a Callahan tower ! see what I get.
