Ways to call rain success of people from the past to the present

With the great progress of science and technology, humankind has created extremely special artificial rain .

'Rainy weather is a story of heaven' , that is not wrong and no one denies. People used to depend heavily on nature, in addition to praying to the gods and organizing rain prayers, we are almost helpless before the sun's abnormality.

However, with the great progress of science and technology, mankind has created rains, no longer relying on faith as before. Let's explore how technologies have replaced the 'rain gods' work through the research below.

1. Cloudbuster

In the 50s and 60s of the twentieth century, the first rain-generating machine appeared in the world was the Austrian psychoanalyst - Wilhelm Reich. But usage still has a lot of skepticism for the scientific community, because he uses orgone energy - the energy from the universe to make rain.

To do this, he built a machine to collect orgone energies. The Cloudbuster machine consists of empty metal tubes paralleled, one end up to the sky to collect energy, the other end is connected to smaller tubes, leading to a water tank.

Wilhelm Reich and his Cloudbuster

Reich insists, thanks to this device, he can gather or disperse arbitrary clouds. From there, he can create rain or stop the rain, even if it is upgraded and controlled by a competent person, it can create tornadoes.

Reich's record of the operation of the machine

It sounds ridiculous but it has yielded a surprising result. In 1953, blueberry growers in Maine state, the United States hired Mr. Reich to 'solve' the problem to save the crop. Reich agreed and installed a Cloudbuster, which operated for just over an hour and the next morning a heavy rain came.

The Cloudbuster was improved

But Reich's "rain" times are still skeptical of 'sewing' . Because so far, the research and use of universal energy has not been popular and fully recognized from a scientific perspective. However, the Reich and his equipment are still considered the first rain-making efforts in human history.

2. The method of 'sowing clouds'

'Cloud seeding' (cloud seeding) is a method that can change precipitation or rainfall patterns by spraying special chemicals like condensation or ice nuclei into the air to change the Physical process of rain phenomenon.

Method of "sowing clouds"

The chemicals used are silver iodide, aluminum oxide and dry ice. In addition, for warmer clouds, scientists studied the use of liquid salts and propane (C ₃ H ₈ ).

Basically, these chemicals stimulate the process of condensing into raindrops in the air quickly, rainfall and form are created depending on the amount of chemicals need to "sow".

Used substances such as dry ice, silver iodide, aluminum oxide, salt .

This unique idea was conceived and studied by scientist Vincent Schaefer, after which Bernard Vonnegut developed it, finding more suitable, more effective chemicals. The chemicals are 'sown' into the sky by airplanes or shot from the ground.

Before implementing 'seeding' , natural elements such as wind direction, convection air currents . must be checked carefully and accurately. Currently, this method is being used quite popular in many countries around the world such as America, Australia, China, India, some African countries .

Sow chemicals by plane

Not only is it used to create rain, increase rainfall, this method is also used to limit hail and thick snow, fog. Although using chemicals, this method does not cause much bad effects on the environment.

Chemicals from the ground sown with guns

In fact, the method of 'rattan seeding' has proved its effectiveness when ending many droughts, destroying many hail and mist hindering.

Sow chemicals from the ground by ship

Few people know that it was used by the US military during the Vietnam War. The US carried out a total of 2,600 flights and sprayed more than 47,000 silver iodine units, causing continuous rain for more than 30 days on the Ho Chi Minh trail, flooding locally with the motto of "sludge the road, cut the veins." war'. Currently, the method of 'rattan seeding' is still being researched and developed and more popular.

3. UAE ion flow device

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a famous land rich in mineral resources, especially oil. However, the UAE is in the harsh climate zone - hot and dry, with little rain around the year, the rainfall is only 110mm / year.

That is why Sheikh Khalifa president Zayed Al Nahyan of the UAE is concerned. He formed a group of national leading scientists, working secretly and hard for years to solve this climate problem.

UAE ion flow device

The result is the world's largest ion flow device. These devices have been built by a Swiss company, which looks like a giant tree with its body rising high into the sky.

Operation principle of the device

This device will generate electrical currents on a large area, positive ions will 'sink' to the ground while negative ions will carry dust particles in the air and 'fly' upstairs. The particles of matter flying up will condense to form a large cloudy area, gradually accumulating moisture and creating rain.

Similar equipment from Australia

The system operates under conditions where air relative humidity must be at least 30%. Currently, this equipment system is still in the process of completing research and works in some areas in the UAE with huge funding support from the UAE oil billionaires.
