Scientists Are Developing A Technique To Control The Weather With Laser-Beams

In a breakthrough that could permanently ameliorate the threat of thinning water supplies in California and much of the western US, a team of scientists says it will soon be able to induce rainfall and lightning storms by firing high-energy laser beams into the heavens.

Express reports that the breakthrough involves manipulating the static electricity present in clouds – which, after all, are just balls of condensation, triggering rainfall, according to experts at the University of Central Florida and the University of Arizona.

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.

Here’s how it would work: One beam would be fired into the clouds to stimulate rainfall. Then, a second beam would surround the first beam to help sustain it for longer.

“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).

 

“The collapse becomes so intense that electrons in the air’s oxygen and nitrogen are ripped off creating plasma – basically a soup of electrons.”

This struggle is known as “filamentation” and creates a “light string” that only lasts for a short time before it disperses – hence the need for the second beam.

However, “because a filament creates excited electrons in its wake as it moves, it artificially seeds the conditions necessary for rain and lightning to occur.”

And, as it turns out, “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," Mills continued.

 

“Ultimately, you could artificially control the rain and lightning over a large expanse with such ideas.”

One of the scientists involved with the study appeared on CBS This Morning on Thursday to explain how the technology would work in more detail:

Bankster controlled scientists developed a techique to control weather with laser beams to create death and chaos, the coin of their satanic realm. 

There, I fixed your headline.

Key words from this article:

Plasma, filimentation, electrons

It's an electric universe and weather, along with most observable phenomena in the visible universe (being made of 99% plasma) is dictated by electrical interactions. The evidence is growing and over whelming.

Control The Weather????????????

These puzzled scientists couldn't even "control" their previously flawed theories: "Ozone Layer," "Global Warming," etc. http://wp.me/p4OZ4v-2M

If they can pull it off, what happens to the places that would have gotten that water? Moving the crisis from one place to another, is what seems to be happening.

Ya. This is one of those entirely predictable fuckups, where you can already foresee people fucking it up. I wish they'd just leave this shit alone. All of that energy in a weather system has to go somewhere.

stinkypinky's picture

I imagine they reason that they would only be "evening out the rainfall" between areas - supposedly taking the excess rain that was going to be a nuisance down the line in order to bring the immediate dry area up to basic levels of moisture. At least that would be the answer to shut people up initially. Everyone knows the real answer is that whoever has the lazers has the longest straw and drinks everyone else's milkshake.

Over time, if I'm in a drought-prone area then I build a bunch of lasers and seed clouds over and over above a big reservoir I build. I'm not going to stop when I've got "enough" water, but rather I'm going to keep going until the reservoir is full. And then why not build another reservoir? In fact why not make a company doing this - or just do this as a municipality, depriving everyone around me of rainfall, and then selling them the fresh water I've collected?

Ahmm... Have you considered the vast amounts of energy needed to generate rainfall this way?
Won't it be cheaper to desalinate sea water, like we already do today?

Colonel's picture

Exactly, lasers that powerful would be energy intensive. Desalination is already being done large scale by Arab states like Dubai why can't the left coast do it?

Drachma's picture

The operation relies on resonance. The energy is supplied by the environment itself. The lasers or other tuned electromagnetic transmission (see HAARP) are just the threshold triggers as it were. This stuff has been developed decades ago. The UNs multilateral weather weapon treaty didn't manifest out of someone's wild imagination...

Its bullshit. Just ask these assholes whether they can control global warming with this stuff. Bet the answer is something like "oh gosh no, we can't control the climate, just the weather".

Just like psychics. They can only help the client, they can't use their powers to make themselves rich.

sooo what are you saying exactly?

what do you define as "electrical"? is movement of electrons "electrical"? 

please, dont talk about science when you know nothing. everything in the universe is a variable that is inner related: mass, gravity, heat, waves, nuclear forces, radiation, etc. to say that it is all ruled by plasma is an absolutely retarded proposal, almost as retarded as the scientists that think they can control weather (they cant - we have been able to locally aggregate moisture for decades using various chemicals and methods not involving lasers except it sucks and pulls moisture from other areas, is extremely expensive, cumbersome, and above all is incredibly localized and unpredictable).

only fools read these headlines and think humans have gained the powers of gods.

the only thing that knows no bounds is our ego.

inhibi out

inhibi's picture

and #1 tell of scientific bs?

"so its experimental, right?"

"well, we've tested it in a lab..."

You may as well stop listening. Lab vs reality is like lifting a grain of sand vs a mountain. Especially when it comes to the atmosphere, which is so volumous, you would probably need a lot more than a trillion watts.

another joke "scientific" discovery. there are so many real ones out there too, i guess they dont look as sexy as headlines though. 

we are a nation of dumb.

Can also be accomplished much more effectively (and at lower cost) by chemical means.  Silver idodide, potassium idodide and <gasp!> solid CO2 (dry ice).

But what fucking ever.  If you want sharks with "lasers" on their backs, I guess I can't stop you.

Alex Jones has been talking about this shit for years.

It already exists. Yet another scoop for Infowars.com.

They  started seeding clouds with aluminum in the 50's for rain. I had read years ago that there is an  international law forbidfing manipulating the weather, for obvious and less obvious reasons. Weather war fare would be the most obvious. 

knukles's picture

It's a bit creepy looking back and realizing that AJ has been the most "accurate" of anybody in those departments.
And yes, there are international treaties prohibiting weather wars.
Like that's ever mattered.

Normalcy Bias's picture

I once rolled my eyes upon mention of Alex Jones. He was a 'nut' they said.

Then, over time I realized that Jones had an amazing record of accuracy and prescience.

Lately however, I'm afraid Jones is still holding onto the dream of Trump, instead of seeing the reality of Trump.

Silly little humans. All they can do is rearrange the equation. Do you really think that messing with nature is going to not screw something else up? If you take that water from the atmosphere, what else will be affected? "We don't know, but you can trust us, we're the government and we're here to help!"

Ever heard of fractional reserve rainfall? This concept has been around since the 1960s. Nothing new here.

Rebelrebel7's picture

Exactly, it is rain that will be deprived elsewhere.

OverTheHedge's picture

I think you will find that it is perfectly acceptable to hedonically adjust the rainfall, and include sand, dust, air and McDonald's pickles in the measurements. Any starvation caused through this adjustment is your own problem, and should be ignored for statistical purposes.

Yea,,, I'm sure humans can do much better than nature.

I'm becoming more and more convinced humans are a serious threat to life itself.

You haven't figured that out yet? Humanity has killed off a number of species, will kill off more and will most likely be what causes itself to go extinct. Humanity as a whole is a virus. 

knukles's picture

Humanity is a scourge upon the planet. 
We're the only species that kills for fun.
And we don't give a rats ass about how we treat other people or the planet. 
We'll likely extinct ourselves to the joy of remaining species.

As we sit now, we're little more than a bad galactic cancer

So, the real reason for "climate change".  To hold humanity helpless for precipitation or punishment for political malfeasance.
There is no way under the sun it'll be used for the good of mankind.
Just the opposite.
