Electroculture antennas

Electroculture antennas are central to the history of the field. Depending on the period and inventor, they may take the form of metal rods, pointed collectors, aerial networks, grounded conductors or more elaborate assemblies.

Justin Christofleau

Justin Christofleau is one of the major historical French references associated with electroculture. His devices were documented through patents, technical drawings and later reconstructions.

Atmospheric collectors and networks

Earlier systems also attempted to collect atmospheric electricity above fields using metallic points and networks. Height, geometry, grounding and conductor layout varied according to the experimenter.

BSA Concept reconstructions

BSA Concept reconstructs historical devices from archival material, photographs, patents and measurements. The workshop role is technical: cutting, shaping, welding, assembly and geometric control.

Documentary precision

A serious reconstruction should clearly distinguish what comes from the historical document, what required interpretation and what was adapted for contemporary manufacturing.
