Cloudbuster
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Cloudbuster is a device -- described by scientists as "pseudoscientific" -- in the form of an "Orgone shooter" by which Austrian psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich claimed to be able to manipulate streams of "cosmic orgone energy" to cause clouds to produce rain and thereby dissipate.
[edit] Cloudbusters in popular media
- Wilhelm Reich's cloudbuster was the inspiration for the song "Cloudbusting" by Kate Bush. The song describes Reich's arrest and incarceration through the eyes of Reich's son, Peter, who wrote his father's story in A Book of Dreams, published in 1973. A cloudbuster is also featured in the video of the song, directed by Julian Doyle, conceived by Terry Gilliam and Kate Bush.
- The practice also appeared in two scenes in Terry Gilliam's film, The Fisher King.
- A cloudbuster appeared in the 1999 short film about Wilhelm Reich (entitled IT CAN BE DONE) by Jon East.
[edit] Chembusters
Although not conceived by Reich for this purpose, some[citation needed] claim to employ cloudbusters to destroy and make chemtrails vanish. These devices are usually home built from plans available through the internet[citation needed], and are also known as chembusters. Diverse sources on the internet[citation needed] claim that these devices have an effect on chemtrails (chemical trails, liquid emissions from equipment aboard high altitude airplanes). As yet, no peer-reviewed scientific research has been published to verify either the existence of chemtrails or these claims.
