(1) “Cloudbusting” ~
The term “Cloudbusting” as used in this paper, shall denote all engineering techniques
which deal with the destruction as well as the formation of clouds of water vapor in the
atmosphere and of orgone energy accumulations of all kinds including gravity; briefly,
with all phenomena which are related to or derive from atmospheric changes of
climate including weather, humidity, amount of rainfall per unit of time, storms,
hurricanes, DORclouds, Oranur functions in the atmosphere, atmospheric OR energy
changes of all kinds, the origin of deserts as well as of areas of green vegetation, and
all similar functions which depend on the presence or absence, on the scarcity or
plentifulness of OR energy, oxygen, water vapor, rain, sun and wind and their
interaction.
(2) Technological Use of the “Orgonomic Potential” ~
The “Orgonomic Potential” denotes all functions in nature which depend on the flow of
cosmic energy, or potential, from Low to High or from Weaker to Stronger Systems.
Thus the orgonomic potential is the basis of and functions contrary to the mechanical
potential, heat, electromagnetic energy, mechanical potential of position, etc. The
orgonomic potential is most clearly expressed in the maintenance in most animals on
this planet of a temperature higher than that of the environment, and in the function of
gravitational attraction. In both cases, the stronger energy system draws energy from
or attracts a weaker system nearby; in both cases the potential is directed from low to
high, or from weak to strong. Gravitation obviously functions on this basis.
The technique of cloudbusting is to a very large extent, if not wholly, base don the
technological use of the orgonomic potential as it governs the OR energy functions of
the atmosphere.
The technological use of the orgonomic potential can be divided, basically, into two
major groups:
(A) Increase of the OR potential: In this case we concentrate OR energy and build up
a steeper or stronger OR potential. This will have entirely different effects than
(B) Decrease of the OR potential: In this case we disperse or dissipate OR energy; we
lower the potential difference and create a tendency toward more or les equal
distribution of the OR energy in the atmospheric OR energy envelope of the planet.
We act in the direction of the mechanical potential.
Rain clouds, thunder clouds, hurricanes and tornadoes are, seen from the viewpoint of
orgonomy, different expression of basically one and the same function, i.e.,
combinations of concentrated OR energy streams and water vapors. Many conditions
depend on the intensity, direction, location and similar conditions related to the
combination of water and OR energy; most of these conditions still await detailed
study and logical comprehension.
However, the two basic principles of cloudbusting, increase and decrease of the OR
potential, suffice at the moment to make their technological use comprehensible.
If we wish to destroy clouds we must use the orgonomic potential in such a manner
that the potential between clouds and their immediate environment increases.
If we wish to create clouds or to increase the power of existing clouds, we must use
the OR potential in such a manner that the potential between clouds and their
immediate environment increases.
In order to execute these two basic principles in a satisfactory manner, we must,
logically, construct and use a device which is capable of adding OR energy to the
atmospheric OR energy envelope; or, we must construct a device which will draw
energy from the OR envelope in such a manner that the affected region loses certain
amounts of energy to other regions, thus changing the atmospheric energy conditions.
Since at present, adding energy to the atmosphere is not yet possible, we must use
the other principle, that of drawing energy from the atmosphere.
(3) Drawing Off Atmospheric OR Energy ~
In order to draw off atmospheric OR energy, we must accomplish two tasks: (a) we
must use a device which draws OR energy; (b) we must know into what place to draw
this energy.
This is accomplished by changing, basically, the principle of the functioning of the
Lightning Rod:
The lightning rod, too, functions according to OR energy principles, since “lightning” is
atmospheric OR energy discharge in a very narrow space. The pointed rod, reaching
into the atmosphere, attracts the lightning discharge and conducts it through heavy
wires into the ground. This lightning rod system functions according to orgonomic, and
not according to electrical principles: In the lightning rod system, the atmospheric
charge is drawn from the atmosphere toward the point of the rod and further toward
the earth’s crust. It is, thus, the orgonomic potential from weak to strong which is
operative also in the case of the lightning rod. If the electrical potential from high to low
were operative in the lightning rod system, the direction of flow would necessarily be
the reverse, from the earth’s crust toward the atmosphere; the energy would stream off
and away from the point of the lightning rod.*
[* Transcriber’s Note (RN @ Rex Research): That statement needs to be revised.
More recent research into lightning has shown that lightning usually rises from the
earth first in a streamer, and the major, visible strike follows that path or creates
another in making its way to earth. I have captured this phenomenon on video from a
few yards distance, and was extremely lucky not to have been struck.]
Cloudbusting operates in agreement with the functioning of the lightning rod, only if we
put both functions, cloudbusting and lightning rod, on the common functional basis of
the OR potential.
Cloudbusting deviates from the lightning rod principle in four ways: (1) Its purpose is
not to draw and to ground bolts of lightning, but to draw OR energy charges out of
atmosphere and clouds. In doing so, it deals with the same kind of force as in the
lightning, with one important difference: The cloudbuster draws the charges slowly, in
small amounts at a time, dispersed, as it were, in time as well as in concentration, and
not in the form of sudden lightning. It does no by way (2) of long, hollow pipes, and not
of solid steel rods.
The pipes, any number of them, and any length beyond a minimum of about 4 meters
or 12 feet used in our first cloudbusting experiments, have the function (3) of
triggering the atmospheric OR energy flow into certain directions. The function of the
pipes is fulfilled with this triggering of directional flow. Once the OR energy flow is
directed at will, it continues to flow in the same direction, until another natural or
artificial stimulus changes it again. The lightning rod, on the other hand, is not intended
to direct OR energy flow. It only functions as a conductor toward the ground in case
concentrated OR energy discharge, i.e., lightning, happens to come its way.
Figure 4: Cloudbusting (Destruction of Clouds through Decrease of OR
Potential) ~
(4) The OR charges are drawn (not into the ground but) into water, preferably into
flowing water of brooks, flowing lakes and rivers. We draw into water since the
attraction is greater between water and OR energy than between other elements and
OR energy. Water not only attracts OR speedily but it also holds it, as especially in
clouds. We thus have the above picture of the process of cloudbusting.
This sketch depicts the principle of cloud destruction only. It does not suffice to enable
the technician to destroy all existent types of clouds. This remains a task of future
experimentation in cosmic engineering, to be solved in many ways, in various regions
of the globe, with various models of cloudbusters (various as to number, length and
width of pipes, direction of draw, size of clouds, maturity of our experience, etc.). The
principle, however, may be described as basically complete:
One dissipates clouds of water vapor by withdrawing, according to the orgonomic
potential, atmospheric (cosmic) OR energy from the center of the cloud. This weakens
the cohesive power of the cloud: there will be less energy to carry the water vapors,
and the clouds necessarily must dissipate. The orgonomic potential between cloud
and its environment is lowered.
(4) The Creation of Clouds ~
The principle used in the creation of clouds is the same as that in the destruction of
clouds: the orgonomic potential from low to high. However, while in the destruction of
clouds we draw off energy from the cloud vapor, we draw energy from the close
vicinity of the cloud if we wish to enlarge existent clouds and to proceed toward
rainmaking. The following chart depicts the process.
The technological experiment bears out the theoretical assumption: clouds dissipate
when the cloudbuster pipes are aimed at the center; they grow when we aim at the
close vicinity in the cloudfree sky.
One may create clouds in the cloudfree sky in a certain manner, by disturbing the
evenness in the in the distribution of the atmospheric OR energy; thus clouds appear
upon drawing energy form the air. The more clouds that are present and the heavier
the clouds, the easier it is to induce growth of clouds and finally rain. The fewer clouds,
the more difficult it s and the longer it takes until the clouds give up their water.
Practically, a rather sharp distinction exists between rainmaking in a cloudy as against
a cloudfree sky.
Figure 5: Cloudbusting (Making of Clouds through Increase of OR Potential) ~
No matter what the variations, the principle remains the same as described: Drawing
from an existent cloud destroys the cloud. Drawing from its vicinity makes it grow,
It is necessary to stop at this point. Strong reaction to cloudbusting in Rangeley,
Maine, have been observed in distant regions (Boston); such influence on faraway
regions is due to the continuity of the OR envelope; the details will require extensive
and careful study. We have always been cautious not to overdo while cloudbusting,
since small twisters and rapid changes of wind have been observed beyond any
reasonable doubt. Also, on one occasion, heavy, prolonged rain occurred upon faulty
operation.
Cloudbusting as a task of Cosmic OR Engineering will by far transcend the facilities
and potentialities of any single institution and even state or country. Cloudbusting is
truly an international affair with no regard for national borders. There are neither
passport controls nor customs officers in the sky where the weather is being made. His
is good and as it should be in Cosmic OR Engineering (CORE).
(III) FogLifting
When it had been safely secured that the orgonomic potential was satisfactorily
operating in removing the nauseating DOPR clouds over Orgonon, and in breaking as
well as making of rain clouds, a new problem of CORE presented itself:
It was late in summer 1952; the autumn and winter with fogs and snowstorms were
just ahead of us. Would it be possible to lift dense fog to the extent of letting the sun
shine over a certain region? In the present communication we shall only deal with the
Lifting of Fog. The experiments with foglifting were conducted from October to
December 1952 at Orgonon, Maine and are being continued.
The following photograph presents the First Cloudbuster built by the Southwest
Machine Company in Portland, Maine in 1952. Earlier, a much more primitive device
was constructed and operated at Orgonon.

The “Spiral Draw” in FogLifting ~
The task of foglifting is accomplished by way of the socalled “Spiral Draw”. In order
to understand its functioning, one should return to the basic principles on which cloud
busting rests as a total operation. To repeat:
The OR energy envelope of the earth planet moves, under normal conditions, from the
west toward the east, in accordance with the direction of the daily rotation of the globe,
faster than the surface of the earth. Accordingly, any operation which is intended to
bring in fresh OR energy supply from the west, such as is the case in DR removal, will
use the west to east direction of the movement of the OR energy envelop as the
principle of its operation: In order to bring in fresh OR energy, one must draw from the
west, i.e., pointing the front ends of the pipes toward the west low above the horizon. It
naturally depends upon the climate and weather conditions as to how long one must
draw to achieve the result of moving the pertinent part of the OR envelope faster from
west to east. In the region of Orgonon, 5 to 15 minutes will suffice to remove a DOR
cloud toward the East by drawing fresh OR energy from the West. Once the
surrounding hills and valleys become bluegray again, the task is accomplished. Too
long prolonged draw will certainly cause severe rain from the west, and strong winds
up to storm strength.
In the making and breaking of clouds, we use the principle of the “orgonomic potential”
from low to high.
Figure 6: Spiral Draw ~
Foglifting requires a combination of, and a slight change in, both these principles.
Foglifting would lead to rain instead, if we were drawing in one or another direction
only. If fog covers large areas, it is doubtful that drawing from the west alone would
accomplish anything. The technological procedure is this:
Dense fog over large areas is usually evenly distributed. In working with foggy
conditions, one has the impression (an impression only) that it is exactly the evenness
and uniformity of the fog bank which constitutes its cohesion and tenacity in resisting
lifting. There are no potential differences; it is a static physical state. This assumption
is borne out by the operation:
To break up fog or even drizzling rain one must disturb the evenness of the
distribution, in other words, the absence of potential differences. One must create such
potential differences. This is accomplished by the socalled “Spiral, Intermittent Draw”.
One “drills holes”, as it were, into the foggy bank by very brief draws (only a few
seconds each) at various points of the sky. Experiences so far teach that the socalled
spiral draw operates best in the following manner:
(1) Drill a hole into the zenith above you for 15 to 45 seconds.
(2) Spiral very slowly toward the horizon, in an intermittent motion, i.e., with brief stops,
2 to 5 seconds each, as you spiral the sky form the zenith down toward the horizon.
Seen from the ground toward the zenith, the total spiral draw looks somewhat like this:
The spiral turns may be drawn at any distance from each other. Between 4 to 8 turns
will suffice in most situations.
After having accomplished the spiral draw, it is necessary to trigger, pushlike, the
west to east direction of the OR flow of the planetary envelope. This west to east
triggering should not last longer than about half a minute, more or less, dependent on
the stillness of the OR atmosphere. Too short a triggering push west to east would not
suffice to accelerate the movement; too long a draw from the west easily may brig
about severe rain form the east, or a squall.
Therefore, the trigger push west to east, after the spiral draw has been done, should
be handled with great care and be based on much practical experience according to
the region, the weather, and similar circumstances.
Since all OR operations are basically resting on functional, and not on mechanistic
principles, they cannot be rigidly executed.
The total draw, per single draw operation, was at Orgonon, approximately 5 minutes.
With heavy fog, it may be necessary to execute w, 4 or more single draws to achieve
results. A single draw may break the fog bank and let the sun come shining through,
but the fog may close in again and not budge finally until after the 4th or 5th draw.
The lifting of fog can easily be learned and operated by anyone whose orgonotic
sense is unimpaired and who has some knowledge of natural weather functions. It is
also obvious that the cloudbuster operations cannot be executed on the basis of the
classical, thermical assumptions about the origin of the various forms of weather. The
relationship of hot and cold air masses must, quite logically, be dependent upon and
secondary to more basic, energetic functions of the Orgone envelope. The
Cloudbuster operation rest on the firm principles of the functions of the OR energy
envelope of the globe.
We shall, in another communication, proceed to mention a few rules, medical and
general, in handling the Cloudbuster. One must not follow the temptation to play
around too much wit this “toy”. Cloudbusting is a very serious and highly responsible
business. The importance of fog dispersal for aeronautics is obvious. So is the
removal of DOR clouds. Both operations have been conducted at Orgonon by our
caretaker quite on his own, without my presence or help, and with great success.
Discipline, reliance on orgonomic observations of the atmosphere and a well
functioning First Orgonotic Sense, make foglifting a relatively easy task. However,
“playing around” with the Cloudbuster to prove oneself one’s cosmic omnipotence, is
only a sign of irresponsibility, if not ignorance.
