Ionic Filters and Weather Control

One Man's Trick is Another's Man Magic
(are the magicians ever getting bored?)

How do they work? It's the simplest thing in the world. Inside there is one or more wires in front and some blades in the back or direction of air flow (Blades could have been wires as well but they have an increased surface to collect dust). All the electronics inside are a high voltage generator (tens of thousands of volts). Wires are charged with high voltage positively and blades negatively.

Airborne particles are first charged positively by the wires and then are attracted by the negatively charged blades. Charged particles also move the air that by inertia passes the blades and leaves the filter.

So what this has to do with weather control?

Few people ever heard or remember of the Pacific Intertie. It goes from Bonneville's Dam in Oregon all the way to California for over 1000 miles. It is one of the few DC power transmission line in the world. Here in this picture next to a "regular" AC high voltage line.



I would assume the line on the downstream side would get some dust on it that may eventually blown by "regular" winds or washed by rain. Hard to say from this only closeup i could find but from the piece of wire visible on the right, i can tell there is a difference in reflection of the light (less shiny) which comes from left, that is east (side). It all depends on what direction it had been used since it rained last time.

DC lines are not much used, this one being a curiosity. Conspirationists say it is for communication with submarines in the Pacific. Could be. But for that you have to cut one of the polarities. But you could use very well an existing AC line for this by interrupting power i don't know, early morning or when the consumption is low. Could have several purposes.

In order to create the DC (from "regular" AC generated at Bonneville), they use huge high capacity mercury diodes made in Sweden. But i'm wondering. How much power those diodes can handle?

We can see on the map there is a parallel "regular" AC line going from Bonneville down to Southern California. Wondering if that is where all the power passes through, while the DC lines is just being... electrified. Curiously enough, the DC one, suspected is used for communications is more inland. 

Anybody can see where i'm getting already? It's easy to guess. Those charged lines, one positively and the other negatively at millions volts will eventually to the same as those air filters do. Move the air horizontally or parallel to the ground and perpendicularly on the direction of the wires however over one thousand miles.

Everybody saw the commercials for Ionic Breeze by Sharper Image back in the day. If they didn't buy one. I went once in the mall and was amazed by the way air was flowing out of those, with no fan. But over 400 dollars and i was also a bit paranoid about the ozone smell.

Sharper Image went bankrupt back in 2008. Don't know if the campaign against this type of products or something else. But their original idea survives to this day under a different brand.

I now own one of a different brand and i can tell they work, if only by the amount of dust i collect weekly from the blades which surpasses several times whatever is captured in other types of filter (HEPA). (However there's no filter good enough to filter what is falling on your hear directly from holes in the walls and cracks in the ceiling).

But IonicPro are not  the same quality (and price). I bought two of them and after a while they start working intermittently. Air will flow out of them 10 seconds and then will stop the next 5 and then another 10 seconds of working, etc..

They are excellent at something else though. You can analyze, almost in real time, what type of dust you have in your house. Visually, by smell, using a magnifying glass and why not, you can collect some dust from blades and watch it under a cheap microscope. Then you can figure the source and fix it. Most of the time it's black mold particles or litter dust, insulation dust or more rarely human flaking skin.
