My considered theory is that tornadoes are primarily an electrodynamic phenomenon resulting from localized electrostatic imbalances. I have only just started investigating this, but I am very weak on advanced physical science math and concepts.

I do know some electronics and electricity but never went through college.

The first cited paper from Russians is QUITE INTERESTING, please read at least this one fully!!! Notice the peripheral tornadic phenomenoa involving people, materials, electrical and luminescent manifestations.

Now, my question is -- Could we "Short Circuit" a Tornado by releasing a barrel or two of fine Aluminum particles or the equal in a spray into it? Military uses some carbon fiber thing to bring electric grids down, how about that?

What do you think? A. Make tornado worse B. No Effect, or
C. Short circuit tornado??????

I would like to see this tried as refined by the more competent for maximal effect.

There is no down that tornadoes and thunderstorms in general have serious electrodynamic propreties. But I would suggest these are secondary.

The air contains dust, this is charged, thus tha air is already and electrodynamic fluid, any movement whatsoever of such a fluid will generate electrical effects.

However thunderstroms are well understood to be caused by heat and convection currents, and though tornadoes are less well understood, they to are in my oppignion a result of these forces.

Lightning/thunders though is the result of the electrodynamics of the system.

if you did what you are talking about you would short out the system and thus electricaly nulify the storm, so you would have less or no lightning discharges, but you would still have heat driven winds, and rain.

"Seeding" can also be done to provide nuclei for coulds that are failing do develope rain, and start rain over drought area, but tornadic thunderstorms don't have this problem.

So short answer, no effect on the tornado, but less lightning.

Thank you JD but you don't have any advanced physics knowledge.
You didn't know what Biot-Savart Law is and how it apples to a flow of electrons.
You are a low information troll.

ok in my view i don't think of psychic powers exist. yet! in simple terms attempt concentrating somewhat difficult to apply your psychic powers. practice on a daily basis. i assume it would be like determining. The extra you practice, the extra advantageous you will get. And test to verify what else you're able to do.
