HAARP The HAARP Project By Ted Gerken

HAARP Introduction High frequency Active Auroral Research Project Located in Gakona Alaska Investigates the properties and responses of the Ionosphere Two main means –Active experimentation –Passive observation

HAARP IRI Ionospheric Research Instrument Antenna transmitter array 180 crossed dipole antennas MHz Capable of 3.6MW

HAARP Airglow Created using IRI A small portion of the ionosphere is heated The image is slowly integrated

HAARP Telescopic Imaging Airglow is viewed using highly sensitive telescope Image captured with highly integrated CCD camera Telescope in special “cold room” of optical shelter

HAARP Riometer 4 “yagi” type recievers Tuned to 30 MHz Scans the sky for EM Noise By comparing to “quiet day” graph, you can detect solar activity

HAARP Riometer Plot

HAARP Induction Magnetometer Measures magnetic field Signals are centered at 1 Hz, with higher levels filtered 3 sensors (North, East, and Vertical) Sensitive to a few pico Telsas

HAARP Fluxgate Magnetometer Measures Earth’s magnetic field Again, uses 3 axis 8 samples per second All data is archived for access on the web

HAARP VLF Antenna Two loops (N-S and E-W) Each loop in the shape of an equilateral triangle Supported by 30 ft tall tower

HAARP Safety The antenna array directs the E-M field straight up. A ground screen further reflects the field away from the ground. The largest field approaches the safety limit The closest publicly accessible area, 3,000 ft. from the emitter, experiences a field 1/10,000th of the allowed maximum.

HAARP Effect of Atmosphere The IRI directs large amount of energy on a small amount of the atmosphere. 10,000 times as much fluctuation happens daily caused by solar activity. The earth’s magnetic field is 10,000,000 times as strong as the fluctuations caused by HAARP.

HAARP Angel’s Don’t Play This HAARP HAARP has received a lot of controversy A large portion of funding for HAARP comes from the DoD Several theories have arisen –Weather controlling –Mind controlling –Destruction of the Ozone layer Most DoD applications involve defense.

HAARP Any Questions?
