  • Apparatus to replicate cloud conditions to form electrical charges in a magnetic field
    Publication number: 20160344276
    Abstract: Apparatus to produce electrical charges in a magnetic field includes a housing, a water source, a rotating hollow cylindrical member, and low pressure generation apparatus. The cylindrical member and low pressure generation apparatus form a helical column of ambient air to draw water particles from the water source and rotate the water particles in a generally horizontal plane in the earth's magnetic field.
    Type: Application
