[1] The cloudbuster was intended to be used in a way similar to a lightning rod: focusing it on a location in the sky and grounding it in some material that was presumed to absorb orgone—such as a body of water—would draw the orgone energy out of the atmosphere, causing the formation of clouds and rain.
Reich conducted dozens of experiments with the cloudbuster, calling the research "Cosmic orgone engineering".
[1] There have been no verified instances of a cloudbuster actually working and producing noticeable weather change, such as causing rain.
Alternatively, the rear of the tubes are joined to a single large diameter pipe and flexible copper hose.
