Abstract
According to one implementation of the present disclosure, a method for field destabilization is disclosed. The method includes detecting, on or proximate to one or more aerial surfaces, a presence of an electric-field above a predetermined threshold; positioning the one or more antennas towards the one or more aerial surfaces; and transmitting electromagnetic waves towards the one or more aerial surfaces.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- detecting, on or proximate to one or more aerial surfaces, a presence of an electric-field above a predetermined threshold;
- positioning one or more antennas towards the one or more aerial surfaces;
- and
- transmitting electromagnetic waves towards the one or more aerial surfaces.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- one or more sensors coupled to one or more aerial surfaces and configured to detect whether a presence of an electric field, on or proximate to one or more aerial surfaces, is above a predetermined threshold;
- and
- a control system coupled to the one or more sensors, and configured to receive sensor data from the one or more sensors and to activate one or more antennas to transmit electro-magnetic waves to the one or more aerial surfaces.
A computer system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory accessible to the processor, the memory storing instructions that are executable by the processor to perform operations comprising:
- detecting, on or proximate to one or more aerial surfaces, a presence of an electric-field above a predetermined threshold;
- positioning one or more antennas towards the one or more aerial surfaces;
- and
- activating one or more antennas to transmit electro-magnetic waves towards the one or more aerial surfaces.
