New technology dual laser can create rain and lightning

Scientists at the universities of Arizona and Florida have developed a technique that can be used to create rainstorms and lightning.

New technology uses dual laser stimulating particles in the clouds and in the formation of lightning and rain.





Moisture condensation in the clouds and lightning activity associated with a large number of statically charged particles. Stimulating them with dual laser beam allows you to call rain and electrical discharges.

The main problem of the developers was to move the laser over a long distance.

As explained Matthew mills, "when a laser beam becomes intense enough, it behaves differently – is destroyed". The researchers used the technique of double beam, a kind of wrapping of a single beam of energy around the other. So they managed to preserve the stability of the laser over large distances.



Mills said, "Because we have control over the entire length of the filament with our method, it is possible to create the conditions necessary for the shower. Ultimately, you could artificially control the rain and lightning over large spaces."

Now scientists can do these effects only at short distances, but over time I hope to create a powerful facility to control climate.
