How much power would be enough?

The HAARP project is designed so that the power can be increased without the replacement of any of the projects physical parts. The proof-of-concept phase of the project could easily turn into a full weapons system or power transmission system phase.

Phase one of the project began in Dec. 1994, and ended in 1995, with an estimated effective-radiated power of one gigaWatt. The second phase is set to increase the power several times of "at least 100 dbW", or about 10 Billion Watts of power (HAARP, Feb. 1990).

As the antenna gain of HAARP is about 1000, the actual input power required to generate 10 Billion Watts of effective-radiated power would be about 10 Million Watts of generated input power.

This concept was illustrated by Princeton, NJ, physicist Dr. Richard Williams, while commenting on his view of the HAARP project in Nov. 1994:

"My main objection to HAARP is that they intend to dump electromagnetic radiation into the upper atmosphere at very high power levels...The radiated power level will be between '90 dbW and 100 dbW'...They refer at one point to the need to go 'at least' to 100 dbW. One way to visualize this power level is that a 10-billion Watt generator running continuously for one hour, would deliver a quantity of energy equal to that of a Hiroshima-size atomic bomb."

A few scientists and researchers also think that the use of HAARP has already been extended to NASA missions, such as the ill-fated "Tethered Satellite". The use of such a tether could easily be used to receive power transmitted by HAARP. The fact that that tether melted and broke during deployment was probably not due to HAARP, but rather due to our own current lack of technical understanding of the electro-magnetic physics that apply in the upper atmosphere (Hoagland, 1996).

According to these and other patents, and the various references cited below, the possible applications of HAARP at these higher power levels are:

* Power Beaming to the Earth
* Power Beaming to Orbital Satellites and to Space Stations
* Sunlight Reflection
* Charged Particle Acceleration
* Beam Weapon
* Over-horizon Radar
* Long Distance Communications
* ELF and VLF Communications
