SCIENTISTS have discovered a bizarre way to potentially control the weather using laser beams and could potentially beat the threat of droughts, it has been revealed.
A six year drought in California was finally declared over this year but the threat for the south-western state as well as other locations in the world remains the same.
But scientists may now be able to induce rain and lightning storms using high energy lasers in a breakthrough that could potentially eradicate droughts throughout the globe.
The possibility of condensation, lightning and storms are ever present in the clouds and are containED through high amounts of static electricity.***
Experts from the University of Central Florida and the University of Arizona believe that by firing a series of laser beams, they can activate the static electricity and induce rain and storms.
One beam would be fired, and this beam would be surrounded by another beam which acts as an energy reservoir – which will allow the laser to be sustained for longer and prevent dissipation.
Laser beams can travel vast distances, but “when a laser beam becomes intense enough, it behaves differently than usual – it collapses inward on itself,” said Matthew Mills, a graduate student in the Center for Research and Education in Optics and Lasers (CREOL).
He said: “The collapse becomes so intense that electrons in the air’s oxygen and nitrogen are ripped off creating plasma – basically a soup of electrons.”
When it reaches that point, the laser tries to spread the beam out and eventually collapses in on itself.
This struggle is known as “filamentation” and creates a “light string” that only lasts for a short time before it disperses.
Mr Mills said: “Because a filament creates excited electrons in its wake as it moves, it artificially seeds the conditions necessary for rain and lightning to occur.
“What would be nice is to have a sneaky way which allows us to produce an arbitrary long ‘filament extension cable.’
“It turns out that if you wrap a large, low intensity, doughnut-like ‘dress’ beam around the filament and slowly move it inward, you can provide this arbitrary extension.
“Since we have control over the length of a filament with our method, one could seed the conditions needed for a rainstorm from afar.
“Ultimately, you could artificially control the rain and lightning over a large expanse with such ideas.”
Best SpongeBob episode ever......"That's not a circle, that's an oval!"
What if they miss and punch a hole in the ozone? I fear for all mankind.
So why didn’t the bastards stop Irma?
So could Red China, for instance, make it rain on their own east coast, taking a lot of the water out of the clouds, and depriving Korea, Japan and Taiwan (R.O.C.) of rain?
HAARP and the Russian counterpart should be looked into.
They made a movie about it and it goes like this;

I saw the trailer on TV yesterday!......................
This cannot end well.
I think they are overselling themselves........................
So that’s what all the hurricanes were about. Hmmmm...
One thing they may not have considered: Creating a plasma beam will possibly cause lightning to occur, as they said, but it could travel back down the beam to its source.......
More realistic would be systematically planting grasses and ground-cover on the northwest African section that heats up and causes 90%+ of the hurricanes that hit the Caribbean and U.S.
You don’t have to make the Sahara a Savannah again, just that corner of it.
If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in 5 years there’d be a shortage of sand. - Milton Friedman.............................
We can control the weather? We just need a grant of a few billion dollars. Trust us.....
Fools abound.
This may or may not have the potential to produce as much rain as cloud seeding from the 40s: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/cloud-seeding-china-snow/
So global warming/cooling is not a worry now, wow, that’s a easy fix. I’m sure the envirosocialists will shut up now.
LARP?
