| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The authors describe the results of their theoretical and numerical studies into the possibility of a conducting channel up to 100 meters long being run in the atmosphere by a directed radiation flux. They explore the effects of short electric current pulses on biological targets and total up the results of early experimental studies into air ionization by a directed ultraviolet radiation (UVR) flux and a current pulse passed through the conducting channel thus formed. Finally, they outline the specifications of an optical UVR beam focusing system. |
