I would like to share your hopes. May we meet again, but elsewhere. This site is too sad for me.

If typical atmospheric lightning is developed from a negative charge accumulated upon rainwater, and negative charge is stated to be brought down by lightning, then wouldn't most rainwater tend to be of negative charge? It seems as though some negatively charged rain might reach the ground...

There might be more useful terminology for describing what someone was getting at. Voltage is a term one might apply to the difference in electrostatic pressure between two points. We are likely to be closely surrounded with negative ions that have no effect upon us because, they maintain...

The scientific solution to your question should be derived empirically. We will just have to wait and see.

But golly: All I meant was to ponder feasibility for a little attenuation of hurricanes, not to put them right out of business. Looking for feasibility is just identifying do-ability if it is there. After that comes the process of determining whether or not any doable action is naughty or nice...

To ponder feasibility for control is not the same as making the decision to apply the control. Do we blame Einstein for saying E=mc squared when some rascal drops a bad bomb? Contrarily, if systematic ionization of selective atmospheric sites sufficed to meddle with our weather, then our...

What you say is true: Hurricanes gather power by holding onto a merry-go-round exchange of energy between succeeding stages of thermal, kinetic, and latent heat energies endured in synchronism with daily augmentation from freshly fallen sunshine above and fresh release of heat from the seasonal...

Increased lightning would seem to do what you recommended. If we get it hitting more ocean water, the trend of negative lightning should find the consequential electron flow seeking out land in its quest for elevation. This is not to claim dispatch of all of the excess energy. The shift of...

Here is some lightning mapping. http://geology.com/articles/lightning-map.shtml You are welcome in retrospect.

You are right on, but latent heat doesn't have to always return as thermal energy. As vapor mingles with the negative ions plentiful in many places, it acquires significant ionization amongst its own molecules. As ionized vapor chills, the molecules come closer together until, when cold enough...

The paucity of ocean lightning might be trying to be telling us something about conditions that breed the big storms.

No it isn't. Trust me, not my denigrater. High class scholars have so much on their plate that they are trained not to sweat the small stuff. So they turn their backs on electrons (very small stuff) which are so quickly wed to protons that they never get to town; or so it seems to the...

Back in my day, just working with electronic circuitry, we went years without talking about electric fields, so I probably don't grasp what you are looking for. The law of conservation of matter and energy served well in troubleshooting. A current through resistance produces heat, and production...

Such a beam goes along the axis of rotation. AFAIK our galaxy doesn't currently produce the polar jets. I think that is because our disk has fattened up into a galactic bulge instead to function more like a sphere than as a disk. Theoretically, were the accretion disk or bulge without electrical...

It reasonable to say that photons never make it out of the event horizon. Let's go ahead and say that. What will get me into trouble here is my supposition that electrons can stray into or out of an event horizon as long as they have not hit the singularity. I think that a copious supply of...
