METHOD TO DISTURB IONOSPHERE AND GEAR FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: astronomy, geophysics. SUBSTANCE: method consists in injection of system of high-speed non-crossing jets of vapors of plasma-forming substance which atomic weight is close to molecular weight of air into ionosphere. Parameters of jets satisfy relationships: E_o/m_o ≳ 80 kj/g, m_o ≤ 10l3a

•ρ_a, where E_o, m_o are energy and mass of jet; ρ_a is average free path of molecule of air, ρ_a is air density. Gear for implementation of method incorporates explosive charges and means for their initiation. Each explosive charge has central shaped recess of cylindrical form lined with plasma-forming substance. Recess is filled with thin-walled tubes made of same plasma-forming substance but having high-porous structure. Average density of plasma-forming substance in recess satisfy relation ρ_oo ≲ 2/Q, where ρ_a is density of plasma-forming substance, g/cu.cm; Q is evaporation temperature of plasma-forming substance, kj/g. EFFECT: improved efficiency of method and gear. 4 cl, 3 dwg
