In the News II

Welp.

We’ve got DG doubling and tripling down on the idea that people control hurricanes.

Stay in school, kids.

The first reference comes from the bottom of the previous first reference, in the form of an addendum.

At first glance, it looks like they're using laser-induced plasma channels.


------------------

Addendum

We note first of all ionization in the atmosphere (ionospheric heaters, anyone?) is a persistent and well-known characteristic of strong storms. The creation of strong dipole regions in the atmosphere (another fancy way of saying ionization) is in turn responsible for the extraordinary lightning displays that often accompany such storms. And lightning is yet another version of plasma, a particularly intense one, that is existing in a more diffuse plasma (the ionized conditions of the atmosphere itself.) Please note that we are describing these phenomena in almost exclusively electromagnetic terms, rather than the temperature differential terms we learned in grade school and junior high (hot air being trapped below a layer of cold air, and forming a vortex as each seeks their natural place: hot air on top, cold air on bottom). It’s not that such temperature (and other conditions, like humidity) are not factors in such storms; it is rather that they are not the primary ones, which are electromagnetic in nature, and specifically, various states of plasma.

So back to our electrical arcing within a plasma (lightning), a plasma within a plasma. It is well-known that prior to a major lightning strike, “feelers” (small arcs of lightning) are spread out, seeking a channel for the main arc, and when that channel is found the main arcing occurs. Think of the feelers as a kind of electromagnetic “reconnaissance”, probing for the best place for the main strike.

This phenomenon in turn has become a major area of black projects research in the United States, as laser-induced plasma channels (seriously, that’s the name) are being researched as a means – quite literally – of steering such plasma systems, of literally controlling where a major discharge of pure voltage – lightning – will occur. But weather systems themselves – such as hurricanes – are complicated systems of plasma conditions, but the same concept holds true: lasers could perhaps be used as the equivalent of “lightning feelers” in order to steer a system. IN other words, my point is that such ideas are already part of the black projects research world, and it takes little imaginative leap to see and apply the very same concepts to weather manipulation and “steerage.”

Electrolaser

A laser-induced plasma channel (LIPC) is formed by the following process:

A laser emits a laser beam into the air.

The laser beam rapidly heats and ionizes surrounding gases to form plasma.

The plasma forms an electrically conductive plasma channel.

Because a laser-induced plasma channel relies on ionization, gas must exist between the electrolaser weapon and its target. If a laser-beam is intense enough, its electromagnetic field is strong enough to rip electrons off of air molecules, or whatever gas happens to be in between, creating plasma. Similar to lightning, the rapid heating also creates a sonic boom.

Stupid people who believe dumb things (such as: people can control hurricanes) are forcing GOP congressmen to post fact checks like these on their websites.

I've seen some similar to these on USA ships, but this is from an older reference.

So we could already have something better.


Definitely enough power to steer a Frankencane.

Laser-Induced Plasma Channel (LIPC): Lightning Bolt on a Laser Beam (Laser/Lightning Weapon)

July 12, 2012

Doctor Doom would really like this weapon. Scientists and Army personnel at Picatinny Arsenal, N.J. have apparently been busy developing a super-Taser-type directed energy weapon (DEW) called the Laser-Induced Plasma Channel (LIPC) that shoots a lightning bolt down a laser beam to send 50 billion (50B)–yes, that's billion, with a "b"–watts of "optical power"/electrical energy into the target, presumably to stun, destroy or kill whatever or whomever it hits, most likely depending on the wattage and/or exposure duration.

Lead scientist George Fischer has been quoted by Army.mil as saying "We never got tired of the lightning bolts zapping our simulated (targets)." He went on to say, "If a laser puts out a pulse with modest energy, but the time is incredibly tiny, the power can be huge,” Fischer said. “During the duration of the laser pulse, it can be putting out more power than a large city needs, but the pulse only lasts for two-trillionths of a second." What Fischer is describing has also been referred-to by the U.S. military as a "nano-second electrical pulse" (nsEP).

That's pretty fast and powerful. But keep in mind the LIPC is still a developmental prototype weapon that will have to contend with Hague Convention rules on military weaponry when and if it's every fully developed, before it can be fielded, even though the U.S. government never actually signed Hague. If you can't burn someone up and suffocate them with a flamethrower, why would you be able to fry them with a Laser Induced Plasma Channel? Because it kills them quicker? Because frying someone with a phaser is more humane than doing it with a literal fire hose? Perhaps, but DefenseReview (DR) isn't currently aware of any specific lethality time limitations placed on weapons by Hague.

So, what's plasma? "If a laser beam is intense enough, its electro-magnetic field is strong enough to rip electrons off of air molecules, creating plasma," said Fischer. "This plasma is located along the path of the laser beam, so we can direct it wherever we want by moving a mirror."

I like how I’ve got DG wasting his morning doing research in a futile attempt to vindicate his moronic belief that people are steering hurricanes.

This is fun.

So you are agreeing that mankind is not affecting the weather? Glad you finally came around and see that man is not causing climate change.

I see your reading comprehension is still bad.

Are you agreeing NAMBLA members are not pedophiles and only Men Going Their Own Way?

I used Brave's AI feature to get a perspective of 50 billion watts.


It'd be difficult to harness that type of energy, so I'm thinking they'd have to harvest the energy out of the atmosphere.

I'd say the energy required could be the weak point of steering a Frankencane.


There'd have to be an energy source, unless they were harnessing it out of the atmosphere and redirecting the energy into plasma, similar to what Tesla was doing.

50 Billion Watts Equivalent

To put 50 billion watts into perspective, let’s consider some relatable examples:

Solar Power: The total installed solar power capacity in the United States as of 2023 is approximately 150.5 GW (gigawatts). 50 billion watts is equivalent to about 333 times this total solar power capacity.

Wind Power: As of 2023, the total installed wind power capacity in the United States is around 137.5 GW. 50 billion watts is equivalent to about 364 times this total wind power capacity.

Typical Power Plants: A typical modern natural gas-fired power plant has an installed capacity of around 500-700 MW (megawatts). 50 billion watts is equivalent to about 71,429 such power plants.

Electric Vehicles: A 9,600-watt charger, as mentioned in one of the search results, is suitable for electric vehicles. 50 billion watts is equivalent to about 5,208,333 such chargers operating simultaneously.

In summary, 50 billion watts is an enormous amount of power, equivalent to hundreds of thousands of typical power plants or millions of high-power electric vehicle chargers. To put it into a more tangible context, it’s roughly 333 times the total installed solar power capacity in the United States or 364 times the total installed wind power capacity.
