Marcel Violet liked to remark that it was the extraordinary effects of storm rains that triggered the spectacular growth of the vegetables, and changed the behaviour of the animals, who left their drinking trough to go and drink the streaming water after the rain and lightning. This also inspired him to look into the causes of this natural biodynamisation of storm water.
In order to simulate these radiations, he built a wave-generating device (probably inspired by S. Bignand's own previous machine, but the story doesn't say it). It was only when he replaced the classical dielectric of his condenser by beeswax that he obtained, on the sinusoidal curve of his oscilloscope, an infinity of secondary waves with extraordinarily high frequencies, known as "grass harmonics", because of their similarity to grass. He named these vibrations "biological waves".
The scientist René Barthélémy speculated on the nature of these cosmic radiations characterised by frequencies as high as 1040 and he admitted to not being able to objectively measure them.
For more than 30 years Violet had been studying the vitality generating properties of this water, on a very broad sample of people afflicted with all sorts of diseases, beginning by himself: he had been diagnosed by his doctors as suffering from an "incurable heart defect". He obtained the same growth accelerating results in plants (as storm water did) by using water treated by applying this current during several hours through these electrodes, . His results on the plants are spectacular and Aqua Dyn – Auroville feels they could be reproduced in Auroville.
