Recently there has been a lot of talk of HAARP and Russia's counterpart. And with recent things such as the "rocket" a few weeks back, I thought I should bring this documentation to the attention of those who are interested in this subject.

From what I can tell, the main reason for the technology in this patent, seems to be enabling communication to continue through the "air" even when the atmosphere is in a certain state, often referred to it seems as a plasma state, which is ironically the reported state that HAARP frequencies function best at.

I am not claiming that HAARP is an actual weapon, though it is highly possible and more than plausible. But irrespective, it does make sense that if it where a weapon, one that functions best under specific conditions, that those conditions may actually cause some problems in other areas, especially if the conditions are that of the atmosphere, through which most modern real-time and mass media communications pass through.

Anyway, those of you more scientifically proficient that I, do please keep us all posted on any new insights

Claims
What is claimed is:

1. A method of creating an artificial electron cyclotron resonance heating region of plasma at about 50 km above the earth's surface in which the collision rate of the electrons in said plasma is greater than the cyclotron frequency of said electrons, said method comprising:

establishing a first artificial magnetic field having a plurality of artificial field lines which extend from the surface of the earth through said region of plasma by positioning a circular loop of an electrical conductive cable at the surface of the earth so that the center of said loop will be colinear with the said artificial magnetic field lines; passing an electric current through said loop to establish said artificial magnetic field having a magnetic field strength of about 10 fold greater than the field strength naturally occurring in said region; and transmitting first circularly polarized electromagnetic radiation having a frequency from 10 kilohertz to 30 gigahertz from the earth's surface, said transmitting being conducted essentially at the outset of transmission substantially parallel to and along said field lines of said artificial magnetic field, adjusting the frequency of said first radiation to a value which will excite electron cyclotron resonance at an initial altitude of about 50 km above the earth's surface, whereby in the region in which said electron cyclotron resonance takes place heating, further ionization, and movement of both charged and neutral particles is effected.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein said excitation of electron cyclotron resonance is continued to cause movement of said plasma region along said artificial magnetic field lines upward to an altitude which is higher than the altitude at which said excitation was initiated.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein said rising plasma region pulls with it a substantial portion of neutral particles of the atmosphere which exist in or near said plasma region.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein there is provided at least one separate source of second electromagnetic radiation, said second radiation having at least one frequency different from said first radiation, impinging said at least one second radiation on said plasma region while said plasma region is undergoing electron cyclotron resonance excitation caused by said first radiation.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein said second radiation has a frequency which is absorbed by said plasma region.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein said first electromagnetic radiation is right hand circularly polarized in the northern hemisphere and left hand circularly polarized in the southern hemisphere.

7. The method of claim 4 wherein said loop is positioned at an angle with respect to the normal horizontal plane at the earth's surface whereby said artificial magnetic force lines will extend outwardly from the earth's surface at an angle with respect to a normally occurring earth's magnetic field line.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein the radius of said loop is approximately equal to the altitude of said region.

9. The method of claim 8 wherein said region is at an altitude of about 35 kilometers.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein said cable comprises a 1 meter diameter, superconductive cable positioned in a circular loop which, in turn, has a radius of 35 kilometers and wherein said amperage is substantially about 5.times.10.sup.8 amperes.

11. The method of claim 5 including:

establishing a second artificial field at a point on the earth's surface at a point spaced from said first artificial magnetic field; establishing a second plasma region along the artificial field lines of said second artificial magnetic field at an altitude substantially the same as the altitude of said plasma region of said first magnetic field; and propagating said plasma waves between said first and second plasma regions.
