A Call to Arms
We are introducing a project directed toward the question of why some super-cells produce tornados. The goal of this project is to show a connection between electromagnetic forces and the tornadic winds within these rare and violent storms. With this project we hope to show this connection and to prove that pent up electrical charges within the super-cell is the cause for a super-cell becoming tornadic.
Since lightning triggering technology has been developed; it is our intention to position grounded rockets near the pathway of a tornado. They will be positioned far enough away from the tornado to safely launch, yet close enough to trigger lightning from the storm. It has been well documented by trigger lightning research that electromagnetic charges in super-cells will decrease as a result of triggered discharges.
The question is: will a drop in a tornado’s wind forces also take place on demand as a result of these triggered discharges? For if it is the amount of pent up charges (due to electrical resistance to ground in any super cell) that is responsible for a tornado’s increase in ferocity, then it is possible to effect the production of tornados, and we can overcome this electrical resistance with rockets and wires, thus draining the charges of these super-cells to ground.
It is our goal to record triggered discharges from the launch of multiple grounded rockets from a super cell that is tornadic. If we find an immediate and substantial drop in the ferocity of the tornado, then we prove that the electrical charge is responsible for the tornado and we can affect the existence of these tornados.
To test this idea we are encouraging anybody who can safely launch a grounded rocket into a tornado producing super cell to participate in this project.
