'''Cloudbuster''' (also short CB) are devices related to the late [[Esotericism|esoteric]] work of the Austrian psychiatrist [[Wilhelm Reich]]. According to its proponents, it is possible to affect Reichs hypothetical [[orgone]]s in the atmosphere with cloudbusters. According to their views the local weather could be changed, rain could be released in particular or clouds be affected up to a distance of several hundred kilometers. Since the [[chemtrail]]-hypothesis has become popular, cloudbusters were suggested by proponents of chemtrails to "dilute" the alleged chemtrails. Cloudbusters should also protect against harmful electromagnetic radiation and "mind control" with transmitters like [[HAARP]].

==History of cloudbusters==

==History of cloudbusters==

The first cloudbusters were build by Wilhelm Reich in the U.S. in the 1950s and have to be seen in relation to his [[orgone accumulator]]s. They should draw "orgone energy" postulated by Reich from the atmosphere and dissipate it into earth. In recent years instructions for building cloudbusters are circulated in the Internet that differ in part from Reichs constructions and go back to the ideas of American businessman and esoteric [[Don Croft]], which he claims to have found by using a [[pendulum]].

In principle a cloudbuster of newer design consists of several long copper tubes that are mounted parallel. At one end the tubes are directed to the sky, on the other end the are fixed to a container in which a two-component adhesive or polyester resin is mixed with iron or aluminum scrap. This substance is called [[orgonite]]. Crystals are added, that are connected to each tube.
