DEVICE FOR CHANGE OF SPACE CHARGE IN ATMOSPHERE Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: systems for creation and destruction of space charge in atmosphere, applicable in meteorology and agriculture for cloud seeding and fog dispersion, as well as for protection of arable lands, airfields, population points against drought, precipitation, hail, etc. SUBSTANCE: the device has a corona-forming electrode, conductor for transmission of high electrostatic pressure from the lower layers of the Earth's crust to its surface, upper support in the form of a block of several balloons, lower support in the form of a block for balloon lifting and lowering, stabilizers of corona-forming electrode position in space, disconnector of the electric circuit, power transformer substation and a control center. The device can radiate a great number of electrical charges directly to the zone of atmospheric formations at an altitude of 1.5 to 2.0 km with the aid of the corona-forming electrode, which receives high electrostatic pressure induced in the Earth's crust by atmospheric electricity. EFFECT: enhanced reliability. 3 cl, 6 dwg
