Although ionospheric heaters beam power from antennae on the ground up
to the ionosphere, and the Richmonds' "solar tap"concept goes the other direction,
both involve connecting the earth with the ionosphere. The novel described a solar
tap that just wouldn't quit. It began from a technology that started on the ground, from
which engineers beamed up a pathway for some of the ionospheric electricity to ride
back down on. This planetary short-circuit usually blew out in a fraction of a second,
but one day the fictional engineers made a fatal mistake. They kept a solar tap going
while a solar flare surged into the ionosphere and then to the ground via the ionized
pathway of the tap beam.
"And the surge of power from the tap became an avalanche. An avalanche at
the pole in the vertical plane of the planet's magnetic field where the winds of
magnetism would not rise to blow it out. One trillion watt-seconds of energy
unleashed their fury on the polar cap in the first flash...Even as it discharged, the
ionosphere was recharged from the solar furnace. The first flash became a mighty roar
that poured an increased and now steady stream...of energy through the
now-stabilized short circuit. Kilocubit after square kilocubit of frozen wasteland
boiled. Watt after watt of ever-increasing avalanche energy lit the polar cap with a
glare that had never before been seen..."

Could such a disaster happen in real life? Manning reread the introduction to
The Lost Millennium. It said that in 1962 Walter Richmond was researching
atmospheric electricity and developed the theory of what the couple called the solar
tap - a source of abundant power from the electrical current that exists as a "potential"
between the ground and the ionosphere. "The physics is exact. The power is there for
the tapping".

Such massive amounts of power would be distributed by broadcasting it,
"which Nikola Tesla had proven could be done, before 1911". The two scientists
believed that automobiles, industries and homes could be tuned into broadcast power,
just as radios are tuned to certain frequencies. The bad news was that unless carefully
handled, broadcast power would resonate with the structural steel of buildings in a
destructive way, Richmond said.
Manning's attention was caught by the scientists' own life story. In 1963
the Richmonds' took their research papers on the solar tap to then-President John F.
Kennedy's science advisor. They planned to also take them to the United Nations
Science Advisory Committee. Instead they received a shock from their government.

"Our papers were placed under the Secrecy label (Secrecy Act legislation) and
we were offered a government contract for research, which we refused. It would have
placed us under the Secrecy Syndrome, in which we had refused for some years to take
part, Leigh wrote. We were told to sit down and shut up, in no uncertain terms."
The vision of the fictional solar tap lingered in Manning's mind. The book
described an experiment-gone-wrong that started an unquenchable avalanche of
electrons. A character in the book said "the power's there. Enough to blow up the
Earth if it's misused."
