What is Electroculture?
 Introduction

Electroculture is a group of techniques that

uses electricity + magnetism to amplify plant growth.
Plants grow bigger and faster with higher nutrient
values. Over time, this simple technology can
eliminate the need for toxic pesticides and fertilizers.

Magnetoculture is synonymous with

electroculture. In nature, magnetic and electrical
forces always manifest conjointly. Magnetoculture
refers more specifically to magnetic influences and
electroculture to electric influences on plant
growth and soil fertility. Together they harness the
electromagnetic / atmospheric energies that are
flowing all around us and essential for life.

With electroculture techniques, the energy and vitality of your soil will increase
each year for the first 3 to 5 years to become highly fertile and eventually
constant for decades to come. Here are just some of the many benefits:

Effects on Soil Effects on Plants

+ Improved soil structure + Accelerated growth
+ Better growth of aerobic bacteria + Increased crop yields
+ Improved nitrogen fixation + Enhanced flowering
+ Enhanced nutrient mobility + Production of larger fruits
+ Increased microbial reproduction + Increased sugar content
+ Enhanced microbial metabolism + Protection against insects
+ Access to more nutrients + Improved disease resistance
+ All-around better soil + Reduced need of fertilizer

 How it Works

Atmospheric
Electricity
The electric field of the Earth
increases in intensity as you
move up in elevation, so while
at ground level the strength of
electric field in the air may be
100 Volts/meter (V/m), as you
go further up in elevation the
atmospheric electricity grows
stronger.

Electoculture
Systems
Coil Spiral Magnet
There are many types of systems
that can be made with simple
materials like copper, galvanized
iron/steel wire, aluminum wire,
metal tubes, magnetic rocks,
piezoelectric crystals & magnets.
Helical Pyramid Tower
This guide will cover the basics.

Fun Fact The first electroculture patent was filed in 1920 by French inventor
Justin Christofleau. Germany offered 12 million Francs for the world’s
rights to his invention, but he declined... & now all the world can benefit.

 The Results

Controlled Studies
There is much evidence to show the effects
and success of electroculture, documented
by farmers and researchers all over the
world. One of the modern pioneers is

COILS &
ANTENNAS
 Lakhovsky Coils

The Lakhovsky Coil

The Lakhovsky coil consists of a simple single-loop coil of wire with
open ends, best oriented to the North. This helps to improve the growth
of plants and/or heal them from various forms of disease. These coils are
effective in a variety of environments and many people have achieved
amazing success by applying them to individual plants and trees.

Fun Fact In 1929, George Lakhovsky published the book “The Secret of Life”. He
discovered that every living thing has an electromagnetic field. Plants,
humans, puppies, water, everything. This effect is known as resonance.

11
 Lakhovsky Coils

How It’s Made

Step 1: Prepare copper loops with approx 3ft of

wire per loop. Leave space between the ends of the
wire. The loop can be overlapping as long as there is
about a 1” gap between the ends (not touching).

Step 2: Secure these ends to wooden stakes

approx 6-12” above the soil, suspended around the
base of the plant. To improve the antenna effect it
works best with the open ends facing the North.

Step 3: Tilt the copper loop in a 30° angle so that

the highest point of the loop is facing the South. (Wire
can be placed on the ground if insulated/enameled)

The opening of the coil

(capacitance section) works
best aligned with the natural
geomagnetic flow of energy

12
 Lakhovsky Coils

Multi-Coils
Lakhovsky coils have many
applications, and more than one
coil can be applied to a single
plant, person or living thing.

These coils are made with any

size of insulated, enameled or
bare copper wire. Also, multiple
wires can be twisted together
for amplified effects.
S N

Coils also work

underground and
around the roots

Fun Fact The discoveries of George Lakhovsky were actually intended to show the
effects of electromagnetic energy on the human body, but early in his
research he used plants to prove his thesis. Same same, but different.

13
 Spiral Antennas

The Ighina Spiral

These are Luigi Ighina spirals invented from the pioneer and genius who
studied under Marconi (inventor of the radio). Ighina discovered how to
cure cancer cells with vibrations but was never recognized as an orthodox
scientist by the academic community. Rather, he was either ignored or
ridiculed for his work.

Ighina discovered that snails receive special atmospheric energies with the
spirals on their shells. This gave him the idea to experiment with these kinds
of spirals making antennas. Aluminum wire works well for this technique,
but materials like copper, iron, steel and other metals can work too.

14
 Spiral Antennas

Snailed It!
The right way to make spirals is always
clockwise rotation from the top to the
bottom. However, the conical shape
does not have to be perfect. There are
many different shapes of snails and they
all seem to work to harness this energy.

Cosmic Earth
Energies Energies
- Flowers - Vegetative
- Seeds Growth

When the point of the cone is directed to

the cosmos, it will collect more cosmic
energies good for flowers and seeds.
When you point it to the earth, then it
will collect more earth energies and
improve more vegetative growth.
Bigger spirals (or multiple spirals)
will collect more energy and have a For balanced plant growth, the best is to
greater influence on the plants.
put a spiral in each direction, one to the
earth and one to the sky, connected to
the soil directly or with wire wrapped
around a stick/post going into the soil.

Fun Fact Many people have also found success by simply placing snail shells
around their garden and even into the soil, which naturally has the same
geometry and beneficial effects as the antennas.

15
 Spiral Antennas

Size = Frequency
The size and shape of an antenna
determines its resonant frequency.
So different size spirals will attract
different frequencies of signals into
the soil biome and ultimately to your
plant’s roots. Experiment to observe
which resonant frequencies your
plants respond to the most.

Electroculture works with many of the same principles as Nikola Tesla who
once said “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of
energy, frequency and vibration.”

16
 Underground Magnets

The Earth Magnetic Antenna

Developed by French electroculture researcher,
Yannick Van Doorne, Earth Magnetic Antennas
essentially take the magnetic force generated by a
set of cylindrical magnets, and drive that force
down a wire (South to North). The material of the
wire must be galvanized and ferromagnetic
metal (iron or steel), so classic galvanized wire as
used in agriculture for trellising or fencing is well
suited and easily found. A single magnet can
charge up to 100ft of wire or more. Beeswax is a
natural cosmic antenna which brings in energies
and frequencies to the antenna system, especially
when first treated with frequencies of 432 Hz.

Fun Fact The power of 432 Hz was recognized by the most noted ancient
civilizations. The musical instruments of ancient Egypt which have been
dug up so far, all have been reported to be tuned to this said frequency.

18
 Underground Magnets

How It’s Made

Step 1: Simply pass galvanized wire through the center
of the cylindrical magnets and secure it to the South end of
the wire with a beeswax covering (to amplify the effect).

Step 2: Install the system 1-3ft below the soil in a South

to North orientation. All the soil is charged in a 3ft radius
around the wire. North (+) end of magnet should face North.

The two most common types of permanent magnets are ceramic (ferrite) seen
above, and neodymium (shiny silver) which is more expensive and not adapted
for this application. Galvanized wire is best for systems that include magnets.
Stainless steel also works, but only if it’s magnetic (test with a magnet).

19
 Lightning Rod Antenna

The Lightning Rod

The Lightning Rod Antenna combines all
these materials to maximize its potential.
The antenna is installed onto a post that is at
least 6ft tall and can also be connected to an
underground wire (running North) that is
effective up to 300ft or more.

6-20ft
The taller
the better

Combining different types of

metals allows the antenna to
receive different types of
energies. The more types of
energies you can harness, the Ground
better the results. wire

The “easy way” is simply wrapping

metal wire to secure rods into place

Fun Fact There are about 2000 thunderstorms taking place on Earth at any
moment and approximately 50 lightning events every second. Each
event creates electromagnetic waves that travel across our planet.

20
 Lightning Rod Antenna

How It’s Made

Butterfly
Copper tube bolt

Steel screw Ferrite

magnet

Step 1: Spirals and rods are secured into

a metal tube with a diameter of 3/8” - 1/2”.
One option is to pinch the end of the tube.

Step 2: Through the tube is a long screw

(pointer) threaded with a ferrite magnet and
butterfly bolt. Pointing direct South it
captures the atmospheric and earth energies
which surround the apparatus.

Step 3: Between the butterfly bolt and

the magnet, a ground wire can be connected
that directs the collected energy into the soil.

Pro-Tip: Galvanized iron/steel ground

wire is best if you want to conduct the
Galvanized = a protective layer of
magnetic energies, because copper wire will
zinc coating applied to iron and steel. mostly conduct the electrical kind of
(Steel is simply an alloy of iron) energies and less of the magnetic.

21
Garden Installations

Option #1
Open Garden
The antenna is buried 1-3ft
underground and will have an
effective range with a diameter
about equal to its height.

Magnetic energies will only

flow North from the antenna,
but the electrical energies will
flow all around it.

Option #2
Fenced Garden
A circular mesh fence creates a
homogeneous field (like a cage)
that evenly distributes energy.
This allows for more control
and growth that is easier to
predict. The steel cage can have
a diameter of 6-9ft or more and
a depth of 1-3ft (there is no
limit to depth or height).

A Homogeneous Electric Field has the

same magnitude and direction at any
given place in the field.

22
 Underground Installation

Option #3
Underground
Network
This method distributes energy
into underground wires that are
aligned with various rows of plants
(running South to North). These
underground wires are effective up
to 300ft or more from a single
antenna, with an effective radius of
3ft around the wire.

Many reports show that antennas can be effective for kilometers or miles
with a single wire. This makes sense because plants respond to subtle (very
little) electricity and show significant effects, so long as the wire is aligned to
the North, then the juice keeps on flowing (like wine).

23
 Vine Installation

Option #4 For vines, the antenna is attached to the top metal

wire of a trellis. Dropper wires are then connected
Vine Network in a downward direction, and buried approx 1ft
into the ground. This example shows a trellis that
runs South to North, but it can also work with
vines that run East to West, by installing the wire
underground and perpendicular to the vines. So
that the wire is still running in a S-N direction.

Fun Fact Electroculture will produce fruits and vegetables that have higher levels
of nutrients such as grapes with higher sugar and alcohol levels, thus
making them more suitable for export and trade (and drinking).

Dropper Wire
This diagram shows the
method of fixing dropper
wire to the top wire of a
trellis. The dropper wire
should protrude at least 16”
above the top trellis wire.

24
INSTALLATION
TIPS
 Placement & Distance

Atmospheric antennas always work best in open areas, far from

large objects. During installation, avoid tall obstructions like power
lines, houses and trees. These objects can absorb or deflect the
atmospheric energy before it gets to the antenna. To avoid this keep
a minimum distance of 1-2x the height of the obstruction.

In the event that your garden is too close to a house/structure, then

you can put an atmospheric antenna on top of the structure and
connect it to the soil of the garden with a wire.

However, don’t connect an antenna to a tree because the antenna

will absorb the energy that the tree depends on. To help a tree
simply put the antenna on its South side at distance of 1-2x the
height of the tree. To get the antenna closer to the tree just install it
onto a post with the same height as the tree (or higher).

Other electroculture systems that are close to the soil aren’t

affected by these objects and can be installed under power lines and
next to houses without a problem. Same goes for indoor plants.

Electroculture works in all types of soil, sand, clay and lime.

Antennas will help to sustain the humidity of the soil. However, if

the soil is too wet for certain crops like onions or potatoes, then
remove these antennas during heavy rains otherwise crops may rot
due to the excess of water. In dry periods of course the antenna will
help to increase humidity and improve the structure of the soil.

Fun Fact Lightning Rod Antennas protect against lightning by discharging the
atmospheric electricity into the ground. As long as the antenna is
connected to the earth, then it safely diverts lightning into the ground.

27
 Electric Parasol Effect

Shorter Antenna?
The height and distance of an
antenna should always consider
the Electric Parasol Effect which
creates an electronegative zone
with a diameter equal to its height.
If the antenna is shorter than the
surrounding plants then it should
be positioned outside of this
electronegative zone.

Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to

attract shared electrons to itself. On the periodic
table, electronegativity generally increases as you
move left to right, and decreases as you move down.

28
 Electric Parasol Effect

Taller Antenna?
However, if the antenna is
taller than the surrounding
plants then the Electric
Parasol Effect creates a
protective zone around the
antenna. This electronegative
zone is less oxidizing which
prevents disease, insects and
pests that require a more
oxidized environment.

This protective zone is easily

expanded by installing an
underground wire to the base
of the antenna.

Electric Parasol
Effect

Fun Fact The electric parasol effect was discovered by co-author Yannick Van
Doorne after studying the influence of music and electricity on plants in
agricultural applications. Now he’s publishing books, including this one.

PYRAMIDS
& TOWERS
 Pyramid Energy

The Power of Pyramids

Of all the shapes, a pyramid is able to
receive the greatest amount of energy.
Application to seeds is the easiest and
most effective way to boost the fertility
of your land with pyramid power.
Seeds are charged with vital energy so
their growth is improved and generally
they become more resistant to diseases,
water stress, drought or climatic stress.
Also, pyramids can be activated both
indoors and outdoors.

Here you can see that the pyramid

plants are 200-300% bigger (below).

32
 Pyramid Energy

How It’s Made

If the base of a pyramid is 1ft x 1ft, then
the edges that go from the corners to the
top need to be: 1 multiplied by 0.952.
You can do this with any size of base.
When following this formula the angle
of the faces of the base should be 51
degrees (51.85 to be exact). The more
precise the better, but you can still get
results with up to 2% error in size.

An easy way to make larger size copper

pyramids is to cut the right size of tubes,
4 for the base + 4 for the edges, then
flatten the extremities, drill a hole to fix
the edges + sides together with a bolt,
screw or rivet (seen in these photos by
Yannick Van Doorne). Standard sizes =

Fun Fact The Great Pyramid of Giza was built to these exact proportions and
performs well today. It’s now known that it once included a 7ft capstone
covering with white limestone alabaster, which increased its effect.

 Irish Round Towers

Tower Power
Irish round towers have been observed
to increase overall health + development
of crops and animals as well as cold
resistance in plants. One tower made of
paramagnetic rock can have an
effective range of up to 20x its height.
The tower must be well constructed and
works best when placed on water veins.
The action radius spreads over the North
side of the tower in an egg/circle shape.

This is Mehdi Dah,
with the record for
biggest pumpkin in
France. You can see
the round tower in
the background of

This story was also
published in a local
newspaper.

Fun Fact The world record for heaviest pumpkin was a 2,702-pound squash in
Italy (September 2021), according to Guinness World Records. Based
on the photo above, it’s fair to say that electroculture might have helped.

TOOLS &
MATERIALS
 The Tools

Can You Dig It?

Science shows that iron tools have a detrimental
effect to the characteristics of water & magnetism
within the soil. When you agitate the soil with
ferromagnetic iron tools, it disturbs the magnetic
energies of the soil, the same way you can erase
VS the memory of a credit card with a magnet.

However, tools made with copper, wood and other

diamagnetic materials, do not disturb the soil's
magnetic field but rather help to restore it.

These materials have less resistance when moving

through dirt, so the tools actually feel lighter.
Diamagnetic Ferromagnetic

Luckily, iron tools can easily be

retro-fitted with a Copper-Beech
Harmonizer to improve their
energy balance. It must be made
with a Beech Wood core and
copper tube (~5x1”) attached to
the handle with a clamp, copper
wire or screws (photo right).

One Harmonizer is sufficient per

tool, or agricultural machine,
small or large.

39
 The Materials

Master Your Metals

Copper is a diamagnetic metal and cannot be magnetized. Benefits of copper
are that it doesn’t rust, but develops a covering called copper oxide that
appears green or black. Also a very efficient conductor of electrical energy:
it’s 2x more conductive than aluminum and 6x more conductive than steel.

Copper is best for Lakhovsky Coils and Atmospheric Antennas. But for most
other techniques, different metals are as good or better. Such as Ighina
Spirals, aluminum can be better than copper, and for Underground Antennas,
galvanized iron wire is best (not copper). Steel only works if it’s magnetic.

Solid wire is better than tubing. Also, never puncture a plant with a wire.
Any gauge wire can work, but if the wire is so thin that it’s limp, then try
wrapping (combining) multiple wires together until it is stiff (holds its form).
Thicker gauge of wire correlates to broader antenna bandwidth.
Avoid paint and plastic when possible. Zip ties are okay.

Terracotta pots are better than plastic because they’re more paramagnetic +
have conductive contact with the electricity of the earth. Terracotta also
breathes moisture and oxygen (unlike plastic.)

 Conclusion

The Awkward Truth

“While the farmer and the people are poisoning
themselves by using chemicals, most agrochemical
shareholders and ministers are eating organic.

One can understand given the power of money,

multinational corporations, education and corrupt
politics that electroculture has been censored to
the point where the word has even been removed
from encyclopedias...

Farmers are kept in the dark for the benefit of the

few. It does not make sense that a farmer who loves
his land and his animals should spread so many
harmful and toxic products in these fields in order
to obtain good harvests. Today the fruit of the
farmer's labor is harvested by the agrochemical
industry, the seed companies and the state while he
is held in dependence like a slave by these same
corporations. However, everyone can train and get Yannick Van Doorne
out of this dependence by applying agricultural Electroculture Researcher
techniques adapted off the beaten track. electroculturevandoorne.com
Electroculture techniques are part of this.”

-Yannick Van Doorne

Submit YOUR Results

to Electroculture.Life
There is plenty of research to show the success of electric gardening, but
not as much visual evidence to prove it. That's why we're producing the
world's first channel dedicated to electroculture, and we need your help.

We’re looking for people experimenting with electroculture to submit their

results with photos or videos. These volunteers can remain anonymous OR
get full credit for any media submitted. There is also opportunity to be
featured in the documentary planned for release in Fall 2023. These
volunteers will go down in history as the electroculture pioneers who gave
an old technology the new spark it needed. For this, we salute you.

 DEREK DEAN MULLER YA N N I C K VA N D O O R N E

Humans develop many skills in life but few are more vital than the
ability to grow food. What if it was easier than we thought?

Electroculture is another one of those taboo subjects that we should

have learned in school - but didn’t. It joins the ranks of Tesla
free-energy devices and Cannabis cures for cancer, as one of the
greatest discoveries that “science” has dismissed...

This guide revisits the ancient gardening techniques that were lost
(or hidden) but now are found. Electroculture 101 is an easy to
understand “starter guide” featuring the research of world-leading
pioneer Yannick Van Doorne (France) and the award-winning
design of artist/filmmaker Derek Dean Muller (USA). Together
they’ve simplified these mysterious concepts into a 48 page booklet
that highlights the fundamental principles of electric gardening.

Join us on this shocking journey as we uncover one of nature’s little

secrets. Study the basic information in this starter guide and share it
with those who need it most. The simple fact is that a hungry world
can’t grow better, until it knows better. And we’re here to make sure
that happens. Welcome to the electric gardening revolution. A better
future for agriculture, and human health.
