Especially the gas powered HAARP bit, that's a first for me!
Near as I can tell, it's based off of this kind of stuff:
The winning contractor to build HAARP was ARCO Power Technologies, or APTI. ARCO has historically been one of Alaska's largest employers and they initially set up APTI as a subsidiary to construct power plants using Alaska's vast natural gas reserves. One scientist employed at APTI was Dr. Bernard Eastlund, a physicist of some note. Among Dr. Eastlund's accomplishments was the co-invention of the fusion torch, and the original owner of a 1985 U.S. patent on a "Method and apparatus for altering a region in the earth's atmosphere, ionosphere, and/or magnetosphere." Dr. Eastlund's method required a location near the poles, where the lines of the Earth's magnetic field are more or less perpendicular to the surface, like Alaska, and presumed a natural gas power source. A few years later, the HAARP program began.
Dr. Eastlund's patent, which has since become popularly known (though inaccurately) as the "HAARP patent", is widely reproduced online, often with much commentary from authors making their own interpretations of how it might be used. Specifically, the patent involves using natural gas to generate electricity to create electromagnetic radiation to excite a tiny section of the ionosphere to about 2 electron volts, thus moving it upward along the lines of the magnetic field.

I'd never heard the gas connection, either. I had to look it up.
It looks like just more misunderstandings from the "evil HAARP" crowd.

Haarp needs power, that power not far, it is in the form of natural gas.
Do you think they just plug it in to a 240volt plug?

. Pacific Detroit Diesel and Valley Diesel refurbished and installed the 2.5 MW diesel generators which are used to power the HF transmitters.

No, I think they plug it into these:

That's diesel, not natural gas.edit on 27-8-2011 by subject x because:
In short, it is a multi-tool for the government that sits on top of HUGE gas reserves which power it

Please tell us how you've come to make this statement...

Do you know what's involved in refining gas?
You can't just stick a pipe in the ground and plumb that into a gas turbine...you do realise this?

But you said HAARP sits on top of huge gas reserves which it uses...
Now you're telling me it comes from elsewhere?
Which one is it?

Apparently HAARP is a red herring. Irene is being steered by the Arecibo radio telescope in Puerto Rico ....

The individual images that are used as input into this product sometimes contain bad data in the form of missing scanlines or anamalously high or low values that often stretch in an arc across the image. When these areas are incorporated into the MIMIC product they form artifacts that fade in and out, and appear to move with the storm center. However, they have no physical meaning and hopefully they will not obstruct your interpretation of the imagery.

So 2.5 megawatts (generator(s) plural reference so more than one?) input, with a 1000 dbi gain antenna farm (that is gain per antenna not total antenna count), that's quite a bit of power, and its not at its full capabiltiy.
now if that is focused in a small area, what kind of energy would the ionosphere receive in that small area? Based on those numbers?
The power density produced by the completed facility will not exceed 3 to 4 microwatts per cm2

You do know that the generator power is not amplified by the antenna array, right? That seems to be what you're saying. The generators power the transmitter, with 3.6Mw output, and that gets broadcast by the antenna.

Not all that much, really.

It has enough power to "heat up" a volume only a few meters thick by tens of kilometers diameter, which is obviously insufficient to have any effect on a storm as big as Irene, even if the heated up area wasn't directly over the facility.

You forgot the antenna gain, 1000 dbi is last numbers I saw and that was old numbers.
I don't have the latest antenna gain values here.
