The study of Global Atmospheric Electrical Circuit has advanced for the last years.
The main problem of existing of GAEC is ensuring balance between conductive cur-
rents flowing down to the Earth from the lower ionosphere and return currents of op-
posite direction. According to traditional model the atmosphere voltage is supported
by global thunderstorm activity. Difficulties of this model are known in the light of the
last experiments. In this work we attract attention to existence of alternative/additional
source of atmospheric electricity: planetary electric generator. Role of differential ro-
tation of external spheres of the Earth (ionosphere, magnetosphere) on the generation
of atmospheric electricity is intensively investigating for the last years. Experimen-
tal data show that there is super-rotation of upper plasma layers of the Earth and the
other planets (i.e. rotation of the upper atmosphere layers of the planets with higher
angular velocities than lower layers). We use theoretical solution of the problem of
differential rotation of an external shell together with the magnetized planet. In this
model plasma shell has high conductivity for the ionosphere heights and low one for
the atmospheric heights. Profiles of angular velocity of rotation and conductivity were
taken from experimental data for the Earth. Analysis of solutions revealed interesting
features of such rotating system. In particular, sign and density of the surface charges
on the Earth (as function of latitude) depends on profile of the ionosphere rotation
and differs from results of well-known unipolar rotation. In case of super-rotation po-
lar regions have positive charge, and low latitude region has negative one. Density of
the surface charge at the pole is significantly larger than at he equator. Atmosphere
boundaries (upper and lower) in this model can be considered as plates of spheri-
cal capacitor: its charge density and voltage depend on latitude. In our approach the
balance of vertical atmospheric currents of positive direction is supported by vertical
currents of opposite directions flowing at the low and high latitudes accordingly. The
model gives necessary atmospheric voltage (between ionosphere and the Earth) and
observed intensity of currents in GAEC. We demonstrate that statistical dependence of
velocity and directions (west or east) of atmospheric zonal winds in lower atmosphere
from latitude are in agreement with conclusions of the above-described model.

The whole thing can be weaponised by the insightful use of high altitude nuclear detonations and other means.
Trillions of horsepower per day are generated by the earth/sun circuit.
To see the planet as a capacitor - who dares? To ascribe to a capacitor certain attributes - who has?
Any advantage gained by the US from the insights of Brown is demonstrably lost, (see above).
Was in fact that an aim of this process? Equity in order to fore stall preemptive strikes?
The electrical energy conducted through the atmosphere from an H bomb blast is quite a few volts. Although this pales in comparison to the energy given by the earth sun circuit, that circuit is affected and is weaponised. That energy is limitless and available naturally, and usually benign. The next peak in its activity will occur with the 2012 solar max.
