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.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
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.
