The Challenger to Natural Twisters, Technology comprises plasma-jet rocket motors and magneto-fluidynamic generators installed aboard of guided-controlled antitwister meteorological missile. Said generators provide high-voltage frequencial systematic electromagnetic charging to running out high temperature exhaust gases of seeded fuels converting said gases into ionized dashed plasma-jets. Several missiles, directed to the atmospheric electric fields of tornadoes or hurricanes, discharge their electric potentials by plasma-jet-electroshortings and also act on twisters' fields thermally and dynamically. The twisters become disorganized and highly weakened, their violent rotations slow down and finally stop. The twisters disperse out and disappear because their powerful natural electric structures are shortened, discharged, and thus destroyed. The antitwister missiles return back to their base. The Challenger can prevent natural twisters and dangerous lightnings by preemptive electric shortings into saturated zones of atmospheric electricity thus discharging their potentials.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Technical FieldThis proposal relates to:
About 550 violent tornadoes and hurricanes attack America every year. They take away lives and too much built by Americans. The massive high-speed rotating and moving, large amounts of air and water vapors, big differences of pressure, strong winds are dangerous, violent, and destructive.
Numerous observations, experiments, including enacted myself with mini twisters, so-called “smerches,” scientific reports, references, books definitely show:
The twisters rise and accumulate their own energy by extensive rotations and electrically charging more and more masses of mixed air-vapors at large areas of friction rubbing. Their mechanical, electric and united dynamic pressure powers rise until some balances are reached in different levels.
We cannot simply switch these natural combined very specific atmospheric electric machines off. My proposal is to use an effective way to stop twisters' rotations by reliable shorting of their static electric fields in nonrotating clouds and rotating electric fields—zones of saturated atmospheric electric charges in order to discharge them. These said short-circuited rotary-specific electric machines of nature become disorganized in their self-tuned systems, lose their power, disperse, and disappear, or at least highly weaken to a low and less dangerous level.
This proposal uses some advantages of jet technologies, magnetodynamic generators providing ionization and thus high electric conductivity to high-temperature jets in their high-voltage fields, making jet plasmas.
This proposal offers a technology of multiple electric shortings to powerful electric fields of natural twisters by reasonable usage of antitwister meteorological missile rocket motors' running out exhaust gases converted into plasma—discharger—gets aboard said guided-controlled missiles.
These jet dischargers delivered into twisters static clouds and rotating masses can provide electrical shortings in order to efface their naturally ordered rotating structures.
Any direct Prior Arts in some ways connected with my proposal to stop finally these natural violent twisters mostly by electroshortings were not found. It is possible to consider as a far Prior Art the famous static lightning rods of the great Benjamin Franklin. A good electric conductor being in the right place can connect the intensive atmospheric electric fields with their dischargers—electric potentials of our Earth. In our days we can produce aboard our missiles and deliver our plasma-jet dischargers to the moving natural twisters before they finally shape and dangerously approach us.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTIONA Challenger to natural twisters, technology as illustrated in FIG. 1 includes thrust rocket motor 20A, plasma-jet rocket motors 20B, high-voltage magneto-fluidynamic generators [MFG] 21A all installed into guided-controlled meteorological antitwister missile 22A. The Challenger includes also an electric block 20E with transformer, battery, ignitor, their connections; flight control unit 20K with meters and controllers; electric gas-turbogenerator 20G working from a small part of rocket exhaust gases and providing all electric devices aboard the missile 22A.
The missile 22A includes flapped winglets 22W, adjustable controlled fins-rudders 22R, head protector 22H, tail protector 22T. The rocket motor 20A provides the thrust-jet 24T, the plasma-jet rocket motors 20B with their MFG 21A provide dashed lines consisting of plasma-jet segments 24S and exhaust-jet intervals 24V.
Another embodiment of the Challenger is shown in FIG. 2 where the missile 22B, MFG 21A and 21B provide all jets of all rocket motors as solid plasma-jet 24P as continuous lines without intervals, including the main thrust jet. This design is more powerful but for low saturated by electric charges twister's clouds.
The FIG. 3 illustrates a preferable circular design of rocket motors 20B into missile 22A. The MFG 21A, thrust nozzle 23T, plasma nozzles 23P, thrust jet 24T, plasma-jet segments 24S, exhaust-jet intervals 24V, adjustable controlled hinged fin-rudders 22R with one of their driving solenoids 22S are shown.
FIG. 4 illustrates MFG 21A with magnet casing 21D, magnet bumper 21E, interrupter-controller 21F. The magnets installed into said casing 21D can be permanent, electric, and/or combined working with high voltage transformers of electric block 20E or separate high voltage generators driven by gas turbine 20G. Thrust rocket motor 20A, thrust jet 24T, plasma-jet segment 24S, and exhaust jet-interval 24V are shown.
FIGS. 5, 6, and 7 illustrate various designs of the Challenger for different twisters. FIGS. 5 and 7 show unblocked two plasma-jet motors 20B which can have angles β from 0 degrees to about 20 degrees. This design widens zones of plasma-jet actions. Electric shortings-dischargers 25S, provided by plasma-jet segments 24S to the positive and negative charges of atmospheric electricity 25E are also shown in FIG. 5
FIG. 6 shows a design with combined thrust-plasma-jet rocket motor 20C which is a common motor for missile propelling and plasma-jet providing when embodiments of missile 22D with other fin-rudders 22R are required.
FIG. 7 shows also arrangements of winglet 22W, plasma-jet rocket nozzles 23P with missile 22C.
FIG. 8 shows the technology of interactions of the Challenger with an exemplary tornado 25A, 25C. Two missiles 22B and 22C, in guided and controlled flights near and inside the twister, provide multiple electric shortings 25S between plasma-jet segments 24S and electric fields 28E of the twister's funnel 25A and collar 25C.
OPERATION, GENERAL INTERACTIONSThe missiles 22 deliver MFG 21A to the zones of saturated electricity 25E of forming twisters. The MFG 21A convert the hot exhausted gas jets of rocket motors 20B into hot ionized plasma jets 24P that generally look like dashed lines, consisting of plasma-jet segments 24S and non-ionized high temperature exhaust jet-intervals 24V.
The hot high-voltage plasma segments 24S provide multiple electric shorting-discharges 25S to zones 25E, which drive rotating masses of twisters 25A. The power system of the twisters becomes step-by-step disorganized, disordered, and high weakened. Rotations end, funnels 25A disperse and finally disappear.
MFG 21A provide electromagnetic treatment of running out high temperature exhaust gases from rocket motors and convert said gases into plasmas, electrically high-conducting high-voltage gas-fluids of high ionized levels. The dashed performance of plasma jets is needed in order to prevent possible back strikes of electric shortings-discharges 25S into Challenger. Plasma-jet segments 24S and jet-intervals 24V, shifting each other in dashed lines of their common jets, provide needed gap obstacles to the possible strikes of shorting-dischargers 25S back into the Challenger, into the missile 22.
MFG 21A, which I propose in the Challenger, being slightly similar to well known magneto-hydrodynamic generators MHD is nevertheless different:
The plasma jet 24P, combined dashed thrust plasma jet 24C, plasma jet segments 24S of any of said antitwister guided-controlled missile 22 embodiments also the thrust jet 24T act in three ways simultaneously.
Various embodiments of the meteorological guided-controlled antitwister missiles 22 have needed lift, high and safe maneuverability near and into twisters which are provided by:
The missiles 22 can return back to their bases by slow parachute descents and gentle safe landings to be prepared to the new missions.
