More fat for Moray's fire: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_loop
"A phantom loop is a suitably arranged electrical network that includes within the number of conductive paths part of the natural environment (which can be at the same time acting as a conductor of another circuit) to complete a circuit. It is a form of open system. Phantom loops can occur in suspended circuits, in which the conductor has no ground and uses the ionosphere to complete the circuit at both ends. Phantom loops can also occur in grounded circuits, in which the conductor has a ground and uses the lower atmosphere to complete the circuit and both ends (with the waves traversing the magnetic poles of the Earth)." ----- Original Message ----- From: Frederick Sparber To: vortex-l Sent: 12/23/2006 3:10:12 AM Subject: Re: [Vo]: Re: T.

In September of 1862, an experiment to specifically address Earth currents was carried out in the Munich Alps (Lamont, 1862). The currents are induced by changes in the outer part of the Earth's magnetic field, which are usually caused by interactions between the solar wind and the ionosphere. Utilization of these electromagnetic effects has been reported in the United States as far back as 1859. United States telegraph lines were operated by such natural induced currents (during geomagnetic disturbances). Tellurics also result from thunderstorms. Telluric currents flow in the surface layers of the earth. The electric potential on the Earth's surface can be measured at different points, enabling us to calculate the magnitudes and directions of the telluric currents and thence the Earth's conductance. Telluric currents will move between each half of the ter! restrial globe at all times. Telluric curren! ts move equator-wa! rd (dayt ime) and pole-ward (nighttime)." "The field varies in time and over the frequency range 0.001 to 5 Hz (Krasnogorskaja & Remizov, 1975). Electric potential gradients caused by telluric currents are of the order of 0.2 to 1000 volts per metre. (Krasnogorskaja and Remizov (1975); Vanjan (1975)). At any location, the current density is a direct function of the interhemispheric currents and their potential gradients. It has been estimated that telluric! currents overall during twelve hours in one hemisphere are in range of 100 to 1000 amperes. This intensity of telluric currents is sufficient to drive the air movements that create atmospheric electricity, from the global fair weather charge accumulator to thunderstorm bases."
