Hey /sci/, I have a question regarding energy from ionosphere. I'm not very educated in lightning and physics, but it does make me curious.

My idea, if plausible, was to obtain a steady stream (or connection) from the ionosphere. (Possibly like Tesla was doing, or trying to do.) and see if it could actually push and object. Not by collecting the energy. Just by the mass itself. (lets say can it push a train on a rail just by connecting it to the back of the train).

And if so, or at least theoretically, how much mass can it push in pounds?

Any answers are appreciated, so are links and reading mats. Thanks.
