“…Two such plates, each of 600 cm 2 area, were assembled into a telescope oriented continuously in the direction of the expected arrival of SEECHO daemons (∼35 o leading the Sun). A 700-h exposure accumulated in April-May 1999 did not yield the expected results; indeed, no scintillations with the shape characteristic of the passage of heavy particles (HPSs) and shifted by ∆t = 0.5-1.5 µs with respect to one another were observed [16]. An analysis of reasons for this failure led us to the understanding that the catalytic action of daemons should unavoidably be poisoned by their capture of heavy nuclei which are present in our beryllium produced by powder metallurgy (∼0.1 at.% impurities, including Si, Fe etc.).…”

Experiments with thin ZnS(Ag) scintillators provide evidence with C.L. > 99.99% for the existence of DArk Electric Matter Objects -daemons (presumably negatively charged Planckian particles with M ∼ 10 −5 g) captured from the Galactic disk into near-Earth, almost circular heliocentric orbits (NEA-CHOs). Their flux at V ≈ 10-15 km/s was found to be as high as f ⊕ > 10 −7 cm −2 s −1 and vary with P = 0.5 y, with maxima in March and September. A daemon flux f ⊕ ∼ 10 −7 -10 −6 cm −2 s −1 is capable of accounting for the Troitsk anomaly in the 3 T β-spectrum and suggests its more pronounced manifestation in future KATRIN experiment. In view of the channeling effect on iodine recoil nuclei in the NaI(Tl) crystal, the DAMA/NaI experiment is also apparently detecting a flux of daemons, f ⊕ ∼ 6×10 −7 cm −2 s −1 , but in this case of those falling with V = 30-50 km/s from strongly elongated, Earth-crossing heliocentric orbits (SEECHOs) oriented in the antapex direction, as a result of which the number of events detected in the 2-6-keV interval varies with P = 1 y.

“…If the surfaces of Be plates are coated with a scintillator, e.g., ZnS(Ag), the shift of the signals initiated in them would indicate the passage of a daemon. However, an exposure of Be plates 0.12 m 2 in area carried out in June, 1999, for 300 h did not yield any sensible result, whence we concluded that the flux of the SEECHO daemons f ⊕ < 3⋅10 -4 m -2 s -1 (Drobyshevski, 2000b). Extending the exposure to 500 h did not change anything.…”

“…Simultaneously the detector itself was modified. For instance, experiments with tinned iron sheets placed between the scintillators were performed (Drobyshevski, 2000c). Although this arrangement produced some effect, we did not succeed in drawing any definite conclusions therefrom.…”

With a probability >99% there are grounds to believe that our works on detection of the Dark Electric Matter Objects (daemons), which were launched in 1996, are crowned with success. The daemons are the relic elementary Planckian black holes (m ≈ 30 µg) carrying stable electric charge of Z = 10e. During the last two years, the detector made of two horizontal ZnS(Ag) screens of 1 m 2 area has been recording the correlated time-shifted scintillations corresponding to flux f ⊕ ~ 10 -5 m -2 s -1 of extraordinary penetrating nuclear-active particles which moved both down and upward with a velocity of only ~5-30 km/s. The flux experiences seasonal variations with maxima supposedly corresponding to the Earth transition through shadow and anti-shadow created by the Sun in its motion relative the Galaxy disk daemon population. An accumulation of negative daemons, which stimulate the proton decay in ~1 µs, inside the Earth and the Sun is capable of explaining a lot of previously nonunderstandable facts.

The average atmospheric charge density of Earth is neutral. Charge built up from thunderstorms and lightning phenomena is offset by oceanic surface charging, and offers a source of energy that has not been harnessed broadly. Unfortunately, the total terrestrial energy of the Earth’s atmospheric electrical system is modest (250–500 MW) compared to industrial requirements: Innovations are likely to offer improvements to societal efficiency rather than broad transformations. Direct capture systems located in places with very high occurrence of lightning discharge can generate ≈1 kWh per year on average. Material processing via triggered lightning is limited to techniques that utilize rapid discharges, e.g., metal and glass preprocessing of materials, waste volume reduction, biomass energy conversion, where current prices make plasma‐arc processes prohibitive. Triggered lightning may be used to assist blasting of mountain rock; or as a high‐voltage input for processes such as nuclear fusion. Passive collection of atmospheric electricity is modest but may be used in urban agriculture to increase biomass production. Thunderstorm charge‐separation processes suggest a new class of electricity generators based on kinetic energy and material collision. Ball lightning suggests additional research in dusty plasmas. These methods are all at proof‐of‐concept or early translation stages.
