The physical chemist Dr. Guido Ebner and his colleague Heinz Schürch set up a simple electrostatic field at Ciby Geigy in Basel. These fields are characterized by a high voltage without current flow. Seeds, spores, germs and also fish eggs were treated in this way in the test setups.
After a certain time, nature was allowed to take its course again. In many cases, a kind of "primeval form" of the plant emerged from the treated samples. Growth and germination rate had increased significantly in the EM field. Cereals formed new proteins and root growth was increased.
Trials with corn seed showed massive deviations. Instead of one to three cobs grew up to six, the leaves were much wider and the stems grew thicker. The cobs grew at the top of the stems and not in the leaf axis. Some plants developed up to 12 cobs like the "primordial corn" used to do and still does today in Peru as wild corn.
The trout spawn grew into a much more agile wild form, which
grew by a third and also had a much more pronounced lower jaw.
The Basel chemical company Ciba Geigy, now Novartis, applied for a
patent for this process in 1989 and stopped any further research.
The discovery made pesticide use obsolete, which posed a problem
for Ciba Geigy. Both researchers died in 2001 and the research was
not pursued further.
Electrostatic high voltage fields are also used in
electroculture.
DANGER! Replicas or experiments with high voltage should only be made by people who are familiar with handling these voltages!
