Device for manually catalyzing rainfall and snowfall

Abstract

The invention provides a device and method for manually catalyzing rainfall and snowfall. The device comprises a measuring and control system and an electric catalytic device, the electric catalytic device generates corona discharge through an emission electrode, a great amount of plasmas are generated around the electric catalytic device, a great amount of charges and anions are emitted, the charges and the anions are transmitted to high-altitude clouds under actions of updraft and free diffusion, the micro physics process in the clouds is further influenced, and rainfall or snowfall is generated. According to the device and method for manually catalyzing rainfall and snowfall, the influences of cloud system operation conditions on artificial influence to weather are reduced, operation conditions and demands are softened, and rainfall amount or snowfall amount is increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a novel method and device for manipulating the weather, in particular to a device and method for electrocatalyzing rain or snowfall. Background technique [0002] At present, the traditional methods of artificial weather modification basically use material catalysis to enhance the formation and growth of cloud droplets. Catalysts are generally released into the clouds by aircraft and rockets, or reach the clouds through updrafts through incinerators on the surface. [0003] The principle of traditional weather modification is mainly divided into two types: one is to introduce catalysts (dry ice, silver iodide) into the cloud during the process of artificial weather modification, which will generate a large number of ice crystals in the target area, which will increase the cooling rate to a certain extent. The efficiency of cloud precipitation, this process is called static catalysis; another principle is to change the dynamic s...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the traditional way of artificially modifying the weather has its unavoidable defects: First, the conditions of traditional artificial rainfall enhancement are harsh. The operation can only be effective under the condition of rainfall. The traditional artificial rainfall enhancement method must have a cloud system with suitable operating conditions, and the temperature window is narrow. Rain enhancement works are effective

Secondly, traditional artificial rainfall enhancement operations are strictly controlled. If aerial vehicles are used to sow, aviation control must be applied for before the operation. In addition, the production, storage, transportation, and use of rockets, anti-aircraft artillery launchers and their ammunition are strictly controlled.

Finally, vehicles (aircraft, rockets, anti-aircraft guns, etc.) have high operational requirements, and are expensive to maintain and use (man-made influence operation costs reached 1.8 billion in 2010), and some chemical substances contained in catalysts have adverse effects on the environment
