Scientists can control the weather with lasers

Scientists have discovered a strange way to control the weather with lasers and will likely defeat the threat of drought.

A six-year drought in California finally ended this year, however, threats to the southwestern United States and other parts of the world remain the same.

Now, however, scientists have been able to produce rain and lightning with high-energy lasers thanks to a groundbreaking study, which in turn can eliminate global drought.

Scientists were able to produce rain and lightning with high-energy lasers.

The ability to condense water vapor, create lightning in clouds and store it will be done by electrostatic particles.

Experts from the University of Florida Center and Arizona University believe that by firing a laser beam, they can activate static electricity and create rain and thunderstorms.

A laser beam is fired, and it will be surrounded by a second laser beam acting as an energy reservoir - helping the central laser beam maintain a longer stable state and prevent dissipation. heat.

Matthew Mills, from the Center for Research and Education on Optical and Laser (CREOL), said: ' Normally lasers can fire a very long distance, but when a laser beam is intense big enough, it will behave differently than usual - it will break the inside. This disruption can be so intense that the electrons of oxygen and nitrogen in the air are separated from atoms and create a plasma state. '

The laser can activate static electricity.

Then, the laser will try to spread around and eventually it will collapse itself inside.

This process is called 'filament formation' and produces a laser that remains only for a short time before dispersing.

Mr. Mill said: 'because a' thread 'will create excited electrons after it moves, so it germinates the conditions necessary for rain and lightning to occur. "

This finding may address drought.

It would be great if there was a way that allowed us to create a cable to extend these 'fibers' in a meaningful way. If you can wrap a really large laser beam with low intensity like a cake around the 'thread' and slowly move it inside, you can create that extension.

When we can control the entire length of a 'fiber', it is possible to create the necessary conditions for remote rain.

Even from this idea, you can control rain and lightning on a large scale.
