A
device invented by
Wilhelm Reich.
It consisted of long
metal tubes, on a moveable platform, connected to moving water by
metal cables, which he thought could channel the
orgone energy, found in
water, as well as the
atmosphere.
It is directly related to the
DORbuster, which is another story.
He reported pointing it directly at a cloud, caused the cloud to blow apart, hence the name. He thought the excess
orgone energy caused the cloud to
explode. By pointing it into empty sky,
it caused clouds to form.
He was reported to
make it rain with this device.
Once, after he observed a
UFO nearby, he pointed the cloud-buster at it, and it began to wobble, then sped off. He thought UFOs were run on orgone, and contained
Space-Men. Soon after this the
FDA destroyed a lot of his
research, and threw him in
jail for violating an order not to ship any
Orgone devices across state lines.
His writings on these incidents still exist in
his writings.
Cloud busters are still in use, with high speed films of the effect on clouds, and
modern fine-tuning of the devices.
Modern Orgone researchers found that the tubes
grounded orgone, rather than shooting it out of the tubes.
To this day, the controversy over this device still rages on the Net.
