    Debunked: Bernard Eastlund and HAARP

    Bernard Eastlund is most famously associated with HAARP because of some patents he filed for speculative uses of natural gas in Alaska.

    This article on Skeptoid decribes the problems with this linkage.

    http://skeptoid.com/episodes/4122

    Quote Content from external source:

    Dr. Eastlund's patent, which has since become popularly known (though inaccurately) as the "HAARP patent", is widely reproduced online, often with much commentary from authors making their own interpretations of how it might be used. Specifically, the patent involves using natural gas to generate electricity to create electromagnetic radiation to excite a tiny section of the ionosphere to about 2 electron volts, thus moving it upward along the lines of the magnetic field. The conspiracy theorists, once again, completely ignore the fact that this can only happen in the ionosphere, and they interpret it as a weather control system or earthquake generating system. Such extrapolations are without any plausible foundation.

    A further disconnect in this conspiracy claim is that Dr. Eastlund's patent was for a speculative and unproven device approximately one million times as powerful as HAARP. The patent does not mention HAARP, and none of its drawings remotely resemble anything built at HAARP. For perspective, HAARP's antenna array measures about 1000 feet on a side. A device such as that imagined by Dr. Eastlund would have been 14 miles on a side, with one million antenna elements, compared to HAARP's 180. Furthermore, Dr. Eastlund left APTI to found his own company before the HAARP program began, and was never associated with the program


    Eastlund did NOT invent HAARP. HAARP is just an ionospheric heater research facility. Eastlund's own patent describes such ionospheric heating as having gone on well before the 1985 patent:

    Quote Content from external source:

    In recent years, a number of experiments have actually been carried out to modify the ionosphere in some controlled manner to investigate the possibility of a beneficial result. For detailed discussions of these operations see the following papers: (1) Ionospheric Modification Theory; G. Meltz and F. W. Perkins; (2) The Platteville High Power Facility; Carrol et al.; (3) Arecibo Heating Experiments; W. E. Gordon and H. C. Carlson, Jr.; and (4) Ionospheric Heating by Powerful Radio Waves; Meltz et al., all published in Radio Science, Vol. 9, No. 11, November, 1974, at pages 885-888; 889-894; 1041-1047; and 1049-1063, respectively, all of which are incorporated herein by reference. In such experiments, certain regions of the ionosphere are heated to change the electron density and temperature within these regions. This is accomplished by transmitting from earth-based antennae high frequency electromagnetic radiation at a substantial angle to, not parallel to, the ionosphere's magnetic field to heat the ionospheric particles primarily by ohmic heating


    His job was to find a use for all that natural gas in Alaska. His solution was to propose building a super large ionosphere heater - far bigger than HAARP, and to speculate on loads of interesting usages (without actually explaining how they would work), in order to make the proposal sound interesting.

    It's interesting that the patent is sometime portrayed as being based on Tesla's work. But the only reference to Tesla in the entire patent is in the "Other References" section, which just says:

    Liberty Magazine, (2/35) p. 7 N. Tesla.
    Which is a reference to this article:

    http://www.pbs.org/tesla/res/res_art11.html

    Which is only a kind of interview on the most general of concepts. The only technically similar sounding thing in there is:

    I want to state explicitly that this invention of mine does not contemplate the use of any so-called " death rays." Rays are not applicable because they cannot be produced in requisite quantities and diminish rapidly in intensity with distance. All the energy of New York City (approximately two million horsepower) transformed into rays and projected twenty miles, could not kill a human being, because, according to a well known law of physics, it would disperse to such an extent as to be ineffectual.


    My apparatus projects particles which may.be relatively large or of microscopic dimensions, enabling us to convey to a small area at a great distance trillions of times more energy than is possible with rays of any kind. Many thousands of horsepower can thus be transmitted by a stream thinner than a hair, so that nothing can resist. This wonderful feature will make it possible, among other things, to achieve undreamed-of results in television, for there will be almost no limit to the intensity of illumination, the size of the picture, or distance of projection.
    Tesla was a great showman.

    If Tesla were alive today, he'd be debunking the "death meter" stuff exactly the same way he did 75 years ago with "death rays".

    What he is speaking about is the inverse square law which shows how power, light, sound, etc. diminishes over distance.

    Here is a humorous example:

    It kind of sounds like he was talking about lasers in the "Many thousands of horsepower can thus be transmitted by a stream thinner than a hair," but then he says it not a ray.

    Whatever he was talking about, I think it was pretty theoretical. He was pretty much regarded as a "mad scientist" at the time, all talk and no results.

    Anyway "Debunked: Tesla" is another topic

    When I worked for General Electric in the late 70's a common curse would be to say, "He thinks he's some kind of 'Tesla'."

    I am researching for a documentary that I am producing, and I could have swore that i once saw some quoted text from Eastlund himself saying that HAARP was not based off of his patents... Anyone else happen to know what I am talking about... It would be of great help... My documentary is debunking both HAARP and Chemtrails..

    Thanks....

    Well, HAARP is certainly very unlike what was proposed in the patents. Eastlund's proposal used about a thousand times more energy. I would be very interested to see this quote though.

    Question

    So,

    The only thing you have Debunked here is; HAARP is not based on the Bernard Eastlund patent. ?

    OK, Very Good, Thanks: )

    Could you explain to me, how, HEATING large areas of the Ionosphere has ABSOLUTELY NO EFFECT on the atmosphere below?

    Because the ionosphere is basically space, but with a few charged particles whizzing around. It's practically a vacuum. "Heating" it does very little, especially when compared to the effects of the sun.

    When I move my fingers, the motion has an effect on the sun because of changes in gravity. It's a small and meaningless effect, much like the effect that HAARP has on the lower atmosphere.

    Sorry dude I read the patents, and i quote from patent US5038664
    its says in the claims section(which is the most important part of the patent):
    "The method of claim 6 wherein said shell is formed as an anti-missile shield"

    there it is it has a military applications, which is HAARP is jointly funded by:
    1-DARPA
    2-US AIR FORCE
    3-US Navy
    4-Alaska University

    you don't seriously think that the folks at HAARP would say to you that it was belt for secret military experimentation.

    Here is an explanation of the association between Bernard Eastlund, ARCO, APTI, the patents, and HAARP:
    This comes from eastlundscience.com, now deleted.

    http://web.archive.org/web/200808291...com/HAARP.html

    INTRODUCTION
    HAARP is a large phased array electromagnetic wave generator located in Alaska. The involvement of Dr.
    Bernard Eastlund in its creation has been well documented in books and in magazine articles and
    newspapers. During the period in which many of the books and articles were written, Dr. Eastlund was
    under a 15 year confidentiality agreement with ARCO (The Atlantic Richfield Company). That confidentiality
    agreement has now matured. This web site will present information regarding the development of the
    ARCO patents and the founding of APTI (Now owned by AES Corporation) the corporation managing the
    HAARP facility. (The ARCO patents referred to in this web site are three patents that Dr. Eastlund assigned
    to ARCO because he was a consultant. They are 1) U. S. Patent 4,686,605, 4,712,155 and 5,038,664.

    The web site is divided into four sections: The HAARPROOTS section presents historical material from the
    early period of the development of the inventions. The ROADMAP is a compendium of most of the ideas
    developed between 1984 and 1987 with ARCO. HAARP3600000WATT describes the present status of
    HAARP related to the ARCO patents. The HAARPASAT section describes a potentially destabilizing
    applications of missile defense and as an Anti-Satellite-Weapon. (ASAT). HAARPWEATHER discusses
    potential impacts of the HAARP device on weather and weather research.
    http://web.archive.org/web/201110171...AARPROOTS.html
    http://www.agriculturedefensecoaliti...story_2010.pdf

    Dr. Eastlund was approached by ARCO in the Spring of 1984, and asked to invent an idea that could lead to the
    sale of the 23 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in the Prudhoe Bay formation on the North Slope of Alaska. He
    presented a concept for using the gas to power a large phased array electromagnetic generator and produce a
    missile shield to defend the United States from missile attack by the Soviet Union. Many other ideas for
    applications were developed and most of them are detailed in the ROADMAP. Many of these ideas are part of
    the present DARPA managed HAARP program.

    http://web.archive.org/web/200808282...RPROADMAP.html
    http://www.agriculturedefensecoaliti...RP_ROADMAP.pdf

    A ROADMAP FOR NORTH SLOPE GAS CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
    A roadmap for North Slope Gas Development was developed in 1986. This included concepts from the original 3
    ARCO patents and new ideas developed or embellished by subcontractors from Titan Systems Corporation and
    SAIC Corporation. The major subsections of the roadmap were:

    Ballistic Missile Shield
    Strategic Space Weapon Defense
    ASAT (Anti Satellite Weapon)
    Satellite Corridor Formation (Van Allen Belt Drainage)
    Over the Horizon (OTH) Reflector (Ionospheric Patch Formation)
    Communications-ELF/VLF
    Detection and Discrimination
    Satellite Interrogation
    Ground to Space Power Beaming (ARCO Satellite Gas Station)
    Nuclear Weapons Effects Simulation
    Atmospheric Modifications
    Weather Modification
    Environmental Modification
    Space Elevator
    Ballistic Missile Launch Detection (Whispering Gallery)
    Synergistic Applications
    Enhanced Oil Recovery

    The history in HAARPSROOTS indicates progress in some of these areas. (i.e. contracts awarded) The HAARP
    facility itself was an outgrowth of this road map. A generic briefing was prepared and Simon Ramo and others
    helped ARCO and APTI (A wholly owned subsidiary of ARCO at that time) market various concepts. Some of
    them, such as satellite corridor formation are active areas of research at the HAARP facility. Some figures that
    were used during the "sales" efforts to the DOD are shown below:
    all leading to:

    Siple Station not mentioned? Why?
    Because Siple Station was NOT a HF vertical heating facility. Siple Station had a VLF transmitter with a 21.2 km long dipole antenna. The objective was to interact with electrons in the plasmapause, the outer boundary layer of the plasmasphere/inner magnetosphere and far above the ionosphere where HF heaters are effective.

    [...]

    There are lots of people into cars, you don't have to understand how a crankshaft works to appreciate, comment on, or post online about cars.
    You however seem to specialize in pointing out how "if you don't have a degree in physics" you shouldn't talk/post/comment about physics.

    By your logic should a reporter be required to have previously been a certified lawyer to report news about legal proceedings?

    If you are going to talk about something that concerns physics, you need an understanding of physics.

    Personally I do not care for your attitude. You are attacking folks and yet not 'proving' yours.

    Your car analogy FAILS, because you are like someone insisting that a car can fly.

    No. But the reporter should have an understanding of legal proceedings to talk intelligently about them.

    No, because the amount of incoming radiation is always the same. If it were to be hotter in Dallas by more sunlight being directed to it, then it would have to be colder a few miles away, where you took the sunlight way.

    (And that's assuming that atmospheric lensing is possible, which seems highly unlikely, and doubly unlikely you could do it without anyone noticing).

    CT follower's understanding of "anti-missle shield" is waaaay too literal. way way too literal. is Isreal's Iron Dome an actual iron dome?

    "1-DARPA
    2-US AIR FORCE
    3-US Navy
    4-Alaska University"

    DARPA funds thousands of large and small research projects. not all of them are weapons. darpa partially funded my highschool FIRST robotics team... We did NOT make weapons. feel free to google FIRST robotics. they funded it to get kids involved in science and engineering, because more kids in highschool getting into engineering means more young adults in college which means more adults in the United States coming up with unique technological innovations, military or not, that gives us the edge. its very very simple. darpa funds many benign projects. sometimes they will later apply the technology to wartime technologies, sometimes they will do nothing, because its never money wasted, it all goes right into USA GDP.... not everyone is out to get you, sometimes even military technology groups just care about innovation all the digital technology you have today, ALL of it came in one way or another from initial military funding. on a time, nasa was just a part of the USAF even. its the single most effective return on investment a government can make, investing in innovation and research..

    Im not sure how you take issue with alaska U funding it...

    An example of the ionosphere heating, if i hold i lighter a foot above a bowl of water, does the heating/rising of the air cause the water to rush up in a column to the lighter? No. because compared to the lower layer which is much more dense, the air represents nothing substantial to the water. there will be minute effects, but it may as well be a vacuum in comparison. the ionosphere really might as well be space. i dont think you understand this. the effects are about as strong, as mick points out, the gravitational effect of moving your body in relation to the sun.

    then there is that whole sun thing blasting it with untold times more energy than anything we can create...

    and we are talking about 2 electron volts... that is nothing.... nothing at all. you wouldnt even feel it on your skin.

    keep in mind we are talking about a guy who designed something that was never made, never shown to have been workable, Im not even talking about what you think it would do, im just talking about the mundane shit it actually could have done as per reality and the paper. plus we have patents for time machines so..... He was asked to get rid of a bunch of gas, so he came up with a way to waste a ton of energy.... thats all.

    Greetings information seekers !

    Let's un debunk some skeptoid mis-direction from the lead post here. The excerpt in the opening salvo contained this
    ...how it might be used. Specifically, the patent involves using natural gas to generate electricity to create electromagnetic radiation to excite a tiny section of the ionosphere to about 2 electron volts, thus moving it upward along the lines of the magnetic field. The conspiracy theorists, once again, completely ignore the fact that this can only happen in the ionosphere, and they interpret it as a weather control system or earthquake generating system. Such extrapolations are without any plausible foundation.
    - What the ???


    First it has to be noted that this is clumsily written at best. The excerpt itself works to add confusion. This is certainly worth noting. It also has to be pointed out that the skepteroid 'piece' make zero attempt to compare the patent claims with the scientific papers that actually detail accomplishments of HAARP. Lacking this type of actual real world examination of the science leaves us with what exactly? .... ?

    A very sloppy examination of portions only of the patent claims as well as blatent lies and attacks on individuals rather than truthful examination of the science. I do not have the time to point out all of the errors of the skeptoid piece. I will highlight 2 of them here.

    From the link is this doozy,
    Quote Content from external source:

    During the night, when the natural ionosphere is minimal, HAARP is capable of creating a weak artificial aurora that can actually be observed by sensitive cameras at the observatory, though they are far too faint for the naked eye.
    This skeptoid piece was written in 08. Let's see if it was true when it was written. Note the hyperbole ' far too faint ' ...nice dramatic flourish. http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a460185.pdf from 2005 notes on page 2 just below the images that,
    Quote Content from external source:

    This unprecedented observation of airglow bright enough to be visible to the naked eye was detected only by the HAARP telescopic imaging system
    Hmmm...

    Second mis-direction from the piece is one of blatent ommission. Skeptoid examines the stated power of HAARP yet neglects to mention the multiplication of power that is in the Eastlund patent AND the scientific literature. In effect, HAARP does what Eastlund states it will do (woops). From; lol, relax ... it is a Stanford U published document from before Brian Dunning's woesome work http://sincedutch.files.wordpress.co...04/haarp08.pdf quote;
    Quote Content from external source:

    An exciting component of the PARS ULF/ELF/VLF Project involves active generation of ULF/ELF/VLF waves by modulated HAARP HF heating. Such waves may well get amplified and lead to triggering of additional waves (i.e., at frequencies other than that is transmitted) as a result of interactions with energetic particles. Preliminary estimates indicate that once HAARP goes to full power it will be able to generate in-situ ELF/VLF wave power densities comparable to those injected from Siple Station, thus leading to initiation of well documented nonlinear effects, triggered VLF emissions, and even controlled precipitation of energetic electrons.


    Indeed a comprehensive point by point examination of Eastlund claims next to actual ionospheric research illuminates that EASTLUND HAD AN EXCELLENT UNDERSTANDING of the physics of the ionosphere and the nuts and bolts of transmitter requirements. This is not surprising because he had a great deal of prior ionospheric research and experiments with which to draw upon. Eastlund also acknowledged in his patents that there is an energy potential that expands the currently embraced scientific paradigm. This can be either waved off with some lol death ray comments and Tesla mis direction or it can be examined in real world published scientific documents. Is there evidence of cascading electrons or not? The answer is yes there is and Tesla ( who Einstein purportedly called the greatest scientific mind of the day ) understood this.

    Tesla talked with pigeons and could put on a good show. Far more importantly, He understood and modeled cascading energy.

    Dunning's piece completely mis-directs about the true capabilities of HAARP in myriad ways AND the dynamic coupling of energy between the upper atmosphere and lower. My guess is Brian just really doesn't know much about meridional flows, the polar vortex and chemistry changes caused by injecting energy into the upper atmosphere. He just doesn't know.

    Lotek, I love to see that you are attempting to understand the science of atmospheric alteration. For your example try adding a boundary just above the candle and a wind moving horizontally through the flame. What are the effects on the sheet just above the candle? How is the chemistry of the sheet effects? How is the wind moving horizontally effected ? How is the flow of energy just above the candle altered?

    Mick, based upon the errors in Dunning's examination, what has been debunked here? Please keep in mind also that it has also been shown in the gravity wave thread that transmitters localized (though there are non linear effects/travelling) effects approach that of effects seen during high level solar events.


    God bless !

    Hi Mick,

    Brian Dunning's article is not a scientific examination. If it were it would have patent claims in one column and actual results of HAARP in the other. If Brian completely lies about one claim, that is more than enough reason to cast doubt on any other assertation that he makes.


    The other correction that I make is that looking at total power of HAARP is disingenuous. It is only a sliver of what actually results. This leads you and others to make fallacious statements such as
    Because the ionosphere is basically space, but with a few charged particles whizzing around. It's practically a vacuum. "Heating" it does very little, especially when compared to the effects of the sun.

    When I move my fingers, the motion has an effect on the sun because of changes in gravity. It's a small and meaningless effect, much like the effect that HAARP has on the lower atmosphere.
    This is not scientifically accurate Mick. It really ought to be removed as it could lead others to conclude that you are not interested in truth.

    The precipitation of electrons is crucial and this is a proven capability of HAARP and other transmitters. Non linear and non localized effects caused by HAARP. This is in the peer reviewed scientific literature regardless of you or your claims.

    It was also shown to you that cascading electrons are an influence that is vastly greater than your claim.
    I can provide multiple links. I have provided 3 at the gravity wave thread that illustrate precipitation of electrons.

    Blessings,


    Bryan

    The style was more Kruger than Dunning, don't you think? Especially the spelling.

    Although the sentence construction: "Please keep in mind also that it has also been shown in the gravity wave thread that transmitters localized (though there are non linear effects/travelling) effects approach that of effects seen during high level solar events" would indicate either recent ECT or an explosion in a scrabble factory...

    What is unscientific about "Because the ionosphere is basically space, but with a few charged particles whizzing around. It's practically a vacuum. "Heating" it does very little, especially when compared to the effects of the sun"?

    What is unscientific about "When I move my fingers, the motion has an effect on the sun because of changes in gravity. It's a small and meaningless effect, much like the effect that HAARP has on the lower atmosphere"?

    I have a half-century of science experience, and might well have written the above almost word-for-word because it so exactly accords with my own scientific understanding, which is a reasonable expectation when science facts are common to both of us.

    But you, Mr Electrojet, are from somewhere else. Not science as is commonly understood. A fairground, maybe.

    Gentlemen,

    The evidence is conclusive that modifying the ionosphere effects climatic systems and weather - as in lower atmosphere weather. This is not my claim. It is seen in scientific literature extending back decades. It does not require me.

    Mick, You really must not want to know that rf transmitters are modifying the lower atmosphere. Weather modification is not a thought experiment. The EISCAT job posting and other links clearly establish that alterations at 80 km modify weather and climatic circulation in the lower atmosphere. Did you read past the 'strong down welling in the polar vortex' part???
    Eventually you will see it. There is stronger evidence for weather modification yet to be presented.

    As an aside, I admire both Mick and Jazzy. I have gleaned much from both of them and grown in my understanding of contrails from their information.

    The skeptoid is trash and not something to stand behind and proclaim as a debunking. Brian gets a lot wrong in a very short amount of writing. Standing in that wake and proclaiming that he has debunked something is not wise and it is not science. Dunning has no clue about vertical coupling processes and Eastlund is associated with HAARP. Dunning is alternately correct and then incorrect with regards to Eastlunds involvement. Dunning neglects to mention that many of Eastlund claims are already demonstrated as real in numerous scientific papers. In effect patent claims match actual modification. If Dunning misses this, then his skeptoid piece is complete junk. It is junk, standing on junk is a precarious place to perch.

    Question. Does HAARP create and modify acoustic and internal gravity waves? Yes or No? __________

    Jazzy, Take into account the energy and energy potential. Heating in the upper atmosphere is not the major effect, we are both familiar with the temperature in a vaccum equations, but this is not the net effect of the energetics of magnetic field lines and injecting energy into plasma sheets. Study evanescence issues, study dusty plasmas and electrical charging processes inside of plasmas. Molecular changes and energy transfer is where the action is, temperature is going to make you continue in promoting scientific inaccuracies and utilizing examples that have no relevance in ionospheric modification. Those 'few charged particles' are big business for more than a couple of reasons.

    I will link 3 scientific examples of energy changes and modification that are all much more significant than Dunning or you seem to embrace. The net effects are very significant. This is not my claim, it is in the documented peer reviewed public documents.

    Jazzy, I agree my spelling and word structure is woeful. I will apply a little more diligence going forward.

    Peace,

    Bryan

    If the evidence is indeed conclusive, then I think you really need to consider why you are having such a hard time communicating your message.
