2.9 Electricity of the air

 

The electrostatic field strength of the earth lies between 50 and 500 V/m. That is a whole 



lot considering that voltages off 60 Volts can be lethal for man. But a living person 

distorts the terrestrial E-field for reason of his own field and his electric conductivity, so 

that there exists no danger for him as long as he doesn't grow into the sky.

 

Maybe the dinosaurs had to become extinct because they were to big and for instance the 



E-field near the ground had risen with a jump by a meteorite that brought a high charge 

from the cosmos. That would explain why the smaller living beings could survive the 

natural disaster.

 

Also the thunderstorm electricity can become life-threatening. Burns, heart and brain



 

failures are the most common consequences. After all the probability to be struck by

 

lightning is four times higher as to have six right ones in the lottery.



 

Over the lightning channel of approx. 1 meter in diameter charges between 10 and 200 C

 

are transported what results in current strengths of 2000 up to 200,000 A. The main



 

discharge lasts between 10 and 50 usec. With the preceding and all the following

 

discharges it lasts over a second.



 

Field strengths on the scale of 4,000 V/m are typical but in a distance of 5 km these wear

 

off to 8 V/m. The frequency spectrum of a lightning reaches 4 powers of ten into the range



 

of the radio waves. In fig. 2.9 is shown the field strength measured in a distance of 1.6 km

 

from the place of origin



.

 



The origin of lightnings is still an unsolved problem after the well-known models (Wilson) 

arc not in a position to explain the reason for the origin of the potential difference of more 

than 100 million Volts required for the ionization of the air. Also the lightnings that struck 

in the direction of the ionosphere still are mysterious. 

We'll have to come back to this

2.10 Biological effects

 

The in fig. 2.1 indicated connection between the EMC and the BC, by some authors 



inofficially described as EMC-environment (EMCE), describes the effect of artificial 

fields on biological systems. This concerns the sensitive range of tasks that is discussed 

extremely controversially in the public. The problem thereby is that the artificially 

produced field strengths lie above the natural field strengths for several scales. 

In the thirties first reports about troubles were provided by navy radio operators that 

complained about headache, dizzyness, concentration failure and indisposition. Besides 

these negative reports concerning the so called "radio operator disease" at the same time 

medical usages concerning high-frequency therapy were tested. In the beginning this 

diathermy called healing method still was a short wave irradiation. Today it is extended 

into the microwave range and uses the thermal effect of electromagnetic rays. The 

increased temperature of the tissue causes an increased local blood flow. This supports 

healing processes, loosens cramped muscles and can help in case of rheumatic fever. 

The advantage of the HF-irradiation compared to contact heat by a hot-water bottle or by 

infrared rays is the higher penetration depth. Herein short waves are superior to 

microwaves. But microwaves can be better focussed on a certain part of the body. 

Is the temperature further increased, so the tissue is damaged. This is used for the 

treatment of cancer and is called hyperthermy. Because cancer cells as a rule are flowed 

w i t h  blood worse than healthy cells, they are more sensitive to heat and therefore are faster 

destroyed than healthy cells at a correspondingly increased temperature. In this way for 

Instance in the USA cattle with a so called cancer eye are treated. For that the spot 

suffering from cancer is irradiated with 2MHz-waves for 30 seconds with a handheld 

apparatus of 10 Watts broadcasting power. The rate of succes is given to be 90%! 

The method of hyperthermy has not yet been able to establish in the area of the medicine 

for humans. Also at our college corresponding research work is carried out in co-operation 

with the radiological clinic of the university of Freiburg (Germany )

.

 



T he thermal effects of high-frequency fields are therefore well-known and subject of 

scientific research. On the other hand and in spite of numerous publications, non-thermal 

effects even today are denied by some scientists as non-existent

. Here only a few 

counter-examples will be listed.

 

Fig. 2.10 A shows the effect of a static magnetic field of 0.12 Tesla on the root (1) and on 



thc plant (II) of barley seeds. The readable effect is an acceleration of the growth of the

 

treated seeds (dotted line) compared to the plants for checking (drawn line)
