Method and apparatus for altering a region in the earth's atmosphere, ionosphere, and/or magnetosphere
This invention has a phenomenal variety of possible ramifications and potential future developments. As alluded to earlier, missile or aircraft destruction, deflection, or confusion could result, particularly when relativistic particles are employed. Also, large regions of the atmosphere could be lifted to an unexpectedly high altitude so that missiles encounter unexpected and unplanned drag forces with resultant destruction or deflection of same.
Weather modification is possible by, for example, altering upper atmosphere wind patterns or altering solar absorption patterns by constructing one or more plumes of atmospheric particles which will act as a lens or focusing device." (find on page 'weather')
Navy SBX-1
CSPAN recorded committee testimony verbalizing the implications of the research noted above.
Would a space elevator's magnets have a negligible affect on the ionosphere?(looks at HAARP studies)
