When newly developed secret weapons-Soviet and American--threaten total world destruction, a man is forced to reenter the dangerous, secret world of his past to try to prevent the cataclysm
“Top-secret wartime experiments were conducted off the coast of Auckland to perfect a tidal wave bomb, declassified files reveal. An Auckland University professor seconded to the Army set off a series of underwater explosions triggering mini-tidal waves at Whangaparaoa in 1944 and 1945. Details of the tsunami bomb, known as Project Seal, are contained in 53-year-old documents released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.” – From article in the New Zealand Herald (New Zealand’s leading newspaper), 9/25/1999
Professor Thomas Leech’s work was considered so significant that United States defence chiefs said that if the project had been completed before the end of the war it could have played a role as effective as that of the atom bomb.
University of Waikato researchers believe a modern approach to the wartime idea tested off Whangaparaoa could produce waves up to 30m high. Dr Willem de Lange, of the Department of Earth Sciences, said studies proved that while a single explosion was not necessarily effective, a series of explosions could have a significant impact.
A former colleague of Professor Leech, Neil Kirton, told the Weekend Herald that the experiments involved laying a pattern of explosives underwater to create a tsunami. Small-scale explosions were carried out in the Pacific and off Whangaparaoa, which at the time was controlled by the Army.
Yes, seismic weapons do exist and the United States, among others, has them.
Topic:Haiti earthquake Get Adobe Flash player Like any disastrous quake around the world, the Haiti disaster has sent shockwaves of rumors and speculations. One of those was that the Caribbean island became a testing ground for a new generation of seismic weapons. Samir Shakhbaz grills one of Russia’s leading expert Yevgeny Rogozhkin on the hot topic

HAARP definitely is not causing earthquakes, though.

I imagine that seismic weapons are (at least as of now) an impossibility. A seismic weapon would probably work like a bunker buster bomb, only it would need to penetrate miles into the ground to be effective, a capability we don't have currently.

"Sound" is a very powerful weapon and it passes trough matter. Making earthquakes with HAARP looks has hard has making pancakes with flour, milk and eggs.

I heard that the population of China is so large that if they all jumped into the air at the same time it would cause an earthquake when they landed.

I believe it is quite possible.
We all have our faults.

I'd say it is possible to build some kind of seismic weapon in theory. I'd think it impossible in practice though; I just don't think we are technologically near the point where we can generate the tremendous energies necessary to manipulate the earth on that scale.

HAARP sends radio waves up into the ionosphere to heat it up. Are they able to redirect those waves back at the ground at specific targets?
