The HAARP Ionospheric Research Observatory will be a major Artic Facility for conducting atmospheric research. The facility will consist of two essential parts:
So What Is It?
H.A.A.R.P. is a scientific research facility, located near Gakona, in the remote Alaskan outback and is a joint Navy and Air Force project. This facility is used to study the earth's Ionosphere, the electrically-charged belt surrounding our planet's upper atmosphere, ranging between 40 to 60 miles from its surface. More specifically, H.A.A.R.P. is a controversial high frequency radio transmitter, or "ionospheric heater". The military intends to use this billion-watt pulsed radio beam in our upper atmosphere, which will create extremely low frequency waves, or ELF waves. This technology will enhance communications with submarines and will allow us to "see" into the Earth, detecting anything from oil reserves to hidden underground military targets. H.A.A.R.P.'s roots can be traced back to work of Nikola Tesla, a Yugoslavian scientist, who's achievements include the Tesla Coil or "magnifying transmitter" which is still used in televisions and radio today.
Generate extremely low frequency (ELF) waves for communicating with submerged submarines
Conduct geophysical probes to identify and characterize natural ionospheric process so that techniques can be developed to mitigate or control them.
Generate an ionospheric lens to focus large amounts of high frequency energy, thus providing a means of triggering ionospheric processes that potentially could be exploited for Department of Defense purposes.
Electron acceleration for infrared (IR) and other optical emissions which could be used to control radio wave propagation properties.
Generate geomagnetic field aligned ionization to control the reflection/scattering properties of radio waves.
Use oblique heating to produce effects on radio wave propagation, thus broadening the potential military applications of ionospheric enhancement technology.
Born exactly at midnight on July 9-10, 1856, in Serbia Tesla's was to be a life of dichotomy: poet/scientist, magician/engineer, visionary/pragmatist, pacifist/weapon designer. Today his name evinces either a blank stare or a gaze of wonder.
Tesla arrived in New York in 1884 with training from the University of Prague, as well as a fascination with electricity. He first went to work with Thomas Edison, but a dispute grew between the to which would remain a source of rivalry for the rest of their lives. Edison favored Direct Current (DC), while Tesla, who had been working out the plans for a generator for years, believed in the more economic Alternating Current (AC). This rift sent Tesla to Edison's rival, George Westinghouse, who was to buy the rights to many of Tesla's inventions. In this and many other business associations, Tesla the inventor was far more successful than Tesla the businessman.
Tesla was to experiment with lightning, power generating systems, and electrical transmission systems. Wireless radio, which history books assign to Marconi, was actually Tesla's concept, as were RADAR and florescent lighting. His Tesla Coil is perhaps a symbol of one of his major goals: the cheap and safe wireless transmission of electrical power. Even in the electromagnetic weapons, which he patented earlier this century, is the desire not to destroy, but to serve humanity by maintaining order. Tesla was, above all, a lover of humanity until his death in 1942.
