A  full size, 51 foot diameter, air core, radio frequency  resonating
coil and a unique 130 foot tower, insulated 30 feet above ground,  have
been  constructed and are operational at an elevation of  approximately
11,000 feet.  This system was originally built by Robert Golka in 1973-
1974 and used until 1982 by the United States Air Force at Wendover AFB
in  Wendover,  Utah.   The USAF used the coil  for  simulating  natural
lightning for testing and hardening fighter aircraft.  The system has a
capacity  of over 600  kilowatts.  The coil, which is the largest  part
of the system, has already been built, tested, and is operational.

A location at a high altitude is initially advantageous for  reducing
atmospheric  losses  which work against an efficient  coupling  to  the
Schumann  Cavity.  The high frequency, high voltage output of the  coil
will be half wave rectified using a uniquely designed single  electrode
X-ray  tube.   The X-ray tube will be used to charge a  130  ft.  tall,
vertical  tower  which  will function to  provide  a  vertical  current
moment.   The mast is topped by a metal sphere 30 inches  in  diameter.
X-rays  emitted  from the tube will ionize the atmosphere  between  the
Tesla  coil and the tower.  This will result in a low  resistance  path
causing  all  discharges  to  flow  from the  coil  to  the  tower.   A
circulating  current  of  1,000 amperes in the system  will  create  an
ionization and corona causing a large virtual electrical capacitance in
the  medium surrounding the sphere.  The total charge around the  tower
will  be  in the range of between 200-600  coulombs.   Discharging  the
tower  7-8  times per second through a fixed or rotary spark  gap  will
create  electrical  disturbances,  which  will  resonantly  excite  the
Schumann Cavity, and propagate around the entire Earth.

The propagated wave front will be reflected from the antipode back to
the transmitter site.  The reflected wave will be reinforced and  again
radiated  when  it  returns  to  the  transmitter.   As  a  result,  an
oscillation will be established and maintained in the Schumann  Cavity.
The  loss of power in the cavity has been estimated to be about 6%  per
round trip.  If the same amount of  power is delivered to the cavity on
each  cycle  of  oscillation of the transmitter, there will  be  a  net
energy gain which will result in a net voltage, or amplitude  increase.
This will result in reactive energy storage in the cavity.  As long  as
energy is delivered to the cavity, the process will continue until  the
energy  is removed by heating, lightning discharges, or as is  proposed
by  this  project, loading by tuned circuits at distant  locations  for
power distribution.

The resonating cavity field will be detected by stations both in  the
United  States  and overseas. These will be staffed  by  engineers  and
scientists who have agreed to participate in the experiment.

Measurement  of power insertion and retrieval losses will be made  at
the  transmitter  site and at distant receiving  locations.   Equipment
constructed especially for measurement of low frequency electromagnetic
waves  will  be  employed to measure the  effectiveness  of  using  the
Schumann  Cavity  as  a means of electrical  power  distribution.   The
detection equipment used by project personnel will consist of a pick up
coil and industry standard low noise, high gain operational  amplifiers
and active band pass filters.

In  addition  to  project detection there will be  a  record  of  the
experiment recorded by a network of monitoring stations that have  been
set up specifically to monitor electromagnetic activity in the Schumann
Cavity.
