Sounds like Wilhelm Reich’s orgone generator to me.
“Sounds like Wilhelm Reich’s orgone generator to me.”
Exactly right. If you have time Google Wilhelm Reich. You will find his orgone generator has been in small scale use for decades. There are alternative science types who have built them and managed to either break up certain kinds of clouds or harvest atmospheric moisture as rain.
Orgone is a dangerous thing. And it’s pretty much suppressed.
The feds sent Reich to prison on some charge, I forgot which, then burned all his books and as many of his papers as they could find.
Suppressed science and technology is a huge subject, amply documented, and beyond the scope of this FR post.
But do read up on this if you have the time and inclination.
Wilhelm Reich posited a conjugate, life-annulling energy in opposition to orgone, which he dubbed Deadly Orgone or DOR. He wrote that accumulations of DOR played a role in desertification, and he designed a “cloudbuster” with which he said he could manipulate streams of orgone energy in the atmosphere to induce rain by forcing clouds to form and disperse. It was a set of hollow metal pipes and cables inserted into water, which Reich argued created a stronger orgone energy field than was in the atmosphere, the water drawing the atmospheric orgone through the pipes.[20]
Reich conducted dozens of experiments with the cloudbuster[citation needed], calling the research “Cosmic Orgone Engineering.” In 1953, a drought threatened Maine’s blueberry crop, and several farmers offered to pay Reich if he could make it rain. The weather bureau had reportedly forecast no rain for several days when Reich began the experiment on at 10 a.m. on July 6, 1953. The Bangor Daily News reported on July 24:
Dr. Reich and three assistants set up their “rain-making” device off the shore of Grand Lake, near the Bangor hydro-electric dam ... The device, a set of hollow tubes, suspended over a small cylinder, connected by a cable, conducted a “drawing” operation for about an hour and ten minutes ...
According to a reliable source in Ellsworth the following climactic changes took place in that city on the night of July 6 and the early morning of July 7: “Rain began to fall shortly after ten o’clock Monday evening, first as a drizzle and then by midnight as a gentle, steady rain. Rain continued throughout the night, and a rainfall of 0.24 inches was recorded in Ellsworth the following morning.”
A puzzled witness to the “rain-making” process said: “The queerest looking clouds you ever saw began to form soon after they got the thing rolling.” And later the same witness said the scientists were able to change the course of the wind by manipulation of the device.[50]
The blueberry crop survived, the farmers declared themselves satisfied, and Reich received his fee.[20]

Did that work?
