--------------------------------------------

An interesting expenditure of taxpayers funds. Just what can you imagine would be the scientific justification for "releasing a good yield of free barium atoms and barium ions to create ion clouds in the upper atmosphere"?

I guess SOMEONE doesn't want us to know.

But where are those arrogant debunkers who have said that there are no such chemical releases going on in our atmosphere?

This invention relates generally to a chemical release system and relates in particular to a system for releasing barium in the vapor phase so that it can be ionized by solar radiation and also be excited to emit resonance radiation in the visible range. The ionized luminous cloud of barium then becomes a visible indication of magnetic and electric characteristics in space and allows determination of these properties over relatively large areas of space at a given time compared to rocket borne or orbiting instruments. For example, a geomagnetic field line could be illuminated by the present invention from pole-to-pole.
Presently, barium release systems are used to create ion clouds in the upper atmosphere for the study of geophysical properties of the atmosphere. These known systems utilize a solid chemical system using a thermite mixture of barium and copper oxide as the heat-producing reaction and an excess of barium to be vaporized. This system is launched by a suitable rocket and, at a predetermined time, the ingredients are ignited and released from a canister through a burst diaphragm and nozzle. The resulting barium cloud gives a brilliant color that can be observed and studied from earth to give indications of wind currents and the like. This known system of barium release has proved effective but is inherently of low efficiency in producing barium vapor yielding, in practice, only from 2 to 4 percent of the total chemical weight when actually up to 48 percent is available. In addition, the barium-copper oxide mixture is a fire hazard when mixing and pressing into the canister and must be done under inert atmospheric conditions which proves timeconsuming and costly in operation. Also, little, if any, ionization takes place in this known system due to the initial heat generating reaction.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and novel barium release system for atmospheric and space studies.
Another object of the present invention is a system for releasing barium in the vapor phase so that it can be ionized by solar radiation and excited to emit resonance radiation in the visible range.
Another object of the present invention is a novel chemical mixture for releasing a good yield of free atoms and barium ions.
A further object of the present invention is a binary liquid hypergolic chemical release system in which barium is formed as a vapor at the time of release.
The foregoing and other objects are attained in one aspect of the present invention by providing a liquid fuel, in which barium salts are dissolved, and a high energy oxidizer which spontaneously ignites the fuel on contact. The barium release is accomplished by impinging fuel and oxidizer jets in an open-ended combuation chamber which expels the reaction product gases or plasma and which includes the desired barium neutral atoms (Ba°) and barium ions (Ba+) as individual species.

Though the patent does say "upper atmosphere", the device has exploded a sixty-mile diameter cloud of barium into the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Here is a briefing, complete in every respect as far as I know. No contrails here, folks.

More on these flights can be found by searching the nasaweb.

When the barium subject came up in mid-July, Goldrush asked griff at what altitude he believed barium was being released. Before the end of the month, Carnicom banned her from the board. one can't ask too many questions over there, right?

You chemtrail guys are reaching. Way out there, now. Earth to chemtrails, anybody in that there brain?

Background/Summary:
ORIGIN OF THE DISCLOSURE

The invention described herein was made in the performance of work under a NASA contract and is subject to the provisions of section 303 of the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, Public Law 85-568 (72 Stat. 435; 42 USC 2457).

old technology?
addendum - when I posted this, Jay's reply above was not there. Also, wasn't the device a rocket?

This question appeared at Carnicom's. Too bad that those who are willing to provide the truth and answer this question are banned. This report is not my utility but one closeby. Remember, this is POUNDS of barium and only one way barium is released from earth into the atmosphere. Check your local utility's TRI if they burn coal to provide your electricity.

Blows my mind carnicom puts stuff out like this...barium.....late 99' it was 'anthrax vaccinations' via contrail......

There's all kinds of stuff floating around natural and man made falling in precipitation.....that's why were not suposed to eat the snow right ?
