This evolving documentary publication compares three contemporary paths within French-speaking electroculture: Yannick Van Doorne, BSA Concept and Loïc Etcheberry / Permafutur. The objective is to place dates, public pages, products, videos, correspondence and workshop archives in chronological order so that readers can form their own opinion.
BSA Concept recognizes Yannick Van Doorne as a major contemporary reference who has worked on electroculture for many years through agronomy, experimentation, courses and transmission. BSA also openly states that its own discovery of the modern electroculture environment was strongly influenced by contact with Yannick's work.
BSA Concept approaches electroculture through metalwork, copper fabrication, antennas, pyramids, Platonic solids and workshop experimentation. The archive documents creations from the early 2010s onward, including welded pyramids, connector systems, atmospheric antennas and geometric structures.
Permafutur first developed around permaculture and agroecology. After encounters with actors in electroculture, its public activity increasingly included electroculture, books, stages, devices, copper pyramids and later sacred-geometry-related themes.
The BSA archive includes emails, professional exchanges, purchases, photographs and documents intended to establish chronology. These elements are presented as documentary material; public copies should preserve relevance while avoiding unnecessary private data.
Public videos and documents show a period of conflict between Loïc Etcheberry and Yannick Van Doorne. BSA analyses this sequence because it later became relevant to the way products, devices and public positioning evolved.
The publication compares public presentations of paramagnetic soil meters, historical references to Phil Callahan, later Permafutur products, public prices and launch announcements. BSA highlights changes in pricing and positioning and invites Permafutur to explain them.
BSA Concept documents a serious cardiac event in September 2023 followed by a prolonged reduction in workshop capacity. In BSA's chronology, this interruption is important because it overlaps with a period in which competing copper-pyramid offers expanded.
The book compares several families: practical connector kits, classic welded pyramids, Nubian structures, thin copper pyramids and larger solid-tube models. BSA's editorial conclusion is that the accumulation of similarities is substantial enough for BSA to use the expression 'copy-and-paste' in its personal analysis.
BSA distinguishes an unprotectable general idea from a concrete original creation, drawing, text, photograph or sufficiently original design. The publication cites French copyright principles and stresses that legal qualification depends on the facts of each creation and, if contested, on competent authorities or courts.
BSA documents the appearance of one of its photographs in a 2023 publication and the later dispute over authorization, attribution and use. The original file and the printed publication are kept as documentary evidence.
BSA reports having filed a complaint in 2026 concerning alleged unfair competition and parasitic conduct. The archive includes correspondence showing that the matter was transmitted for judicial handling. This publication does not state the outcome in advance; it records the procedure as ongoing.
In 2026 BSA invested heavily in dedicated sites about pyramids, Platonic solids and sacred geometry. Permafutur later announced a new book about electroculture pyramids. BSA sees this as another recurring thematic convergence and explicitly qualifies the repeated pattern as 'copy-and-paste' in its personal editorial analysis.
Loïc Etcheberry / Permafutur and any other person concerned by this publication are invited to provide a documented reply: dates, sources, prior work, training, design documents, explanations of product development or any material that can clarify the chronology. Relevant replies may be integrated into a future edition.
New item added to the BSA Evolving Book. In an earlier video, Loïc Etcheberry / Permafutur presents TIG welding as his fabrication method and, around 2:05 to 2:09, emphasizes the strength of the assembly. In a new September 2026 publication, Permafutur now shows fabrication using a torch / dual-gas process.
BSA Concept does not claim ownership of oxy-acetylene technique. It belongs to the general heritage of the welding trade. The point raised by BSA is chronological: after the product, shape and topic similarities already documented in this book, BSA now observes convergence with a fabrication method long used in its own craft activity.
Earlier TIG video: open on YouTube — passage indicated by BSA around 2:05–2:09.
New torch / dual-gas Short: open on YouTube.
BSA craft transmission archive: open on YouTube — early oxy-acetylene practice by the founder's son under experienced supervision.
BSA uses its archive to illustrate a simple point: knowing the name of a process is not the same as mastering a trade. Welding depends on flame adjustment, preparation, temperature, puddle control, filler metal, torch angle, travel speed, knowledge of copper and repeated practice.
BSA craft challenge: compare a torch-made piece by Loïc with one made by a young person trained from his first welds by a professional with more than 35 years of experience. The stated purpose is to show that a tool does not replace transmission of technique or professional experience.
BSA Concept's position is not to erase earlier pioneers. The desired outcome is recognition of each person's real contribution, respect for sources and creations, and an end to unnecessary conflict. The publication remains evolutionary: new verified information can be added in later editions.
