So, according to these scientific calculations, a power flux in excess of 1 Watt per sq. cm could be attained at an altitude of 300 km, with a total radiated power of 10 GW.
Since the power is extremely high, equal to about 12 Darlington reactors, one tends to assume that the duty cycle will be low, say 0.1 %. Even at this duty cycle HAARP could scan its 30 degree cone in 30 seconds. It would then need a power station of several tens of megawatts to provide its power, because the conversion to transmitted energy cannot be perfectly efficient. All of the above information, except where indicated, is missing from Angels. The scientific possibilities of many of HAARP's applications have yet to be tested. Almost all projections of what can be done with the 10 GW beam are therefore somewhat speculative.

Which ones? Do you assume the proposed weather control applications are not those?

Ok. I'm assuming that moving large masses of air (like the jet stream) would require large amounts of energy (F=ma).
