US Defense Department Funds Laser That Will Control the WeatherSusanne Posel (OC) :
Researchers at the University of Central Florida (UCF) have devised a technique that will point a high-powered laser into the sky to induce clouds to produce rain and thunderstorms.This new technology was funded by a $75 million grant provided by the Department of Defense (DoD). Since static charged particles (SCPs) are present in condensation and lightning, this theory claims that by stimulating those SCPs with a laser the power could produce rain storms.

- “When a laser beam becomes intense enough, it behaves differently than usual — it collapses inward on itself. The collapse becomes so intense that electrons in the air’s oxygen and nitrogen are ripped off creating plasma — basically a soup of electrons.”
In conjunction with the University of Arizona, UCF scientists developed a dressed laser that could control weather patterns and create rain. The dressed laser is a single beam surrounded by a secondary beam that “refuels” the original by sustaining the strength and accuracy of the central laser beam.
In 2012, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), engineered fifty
rainstorms that were manufactured by scientists using large ionizers to generate negatively charged particle fields. These structures promote cloud formation. Metro Systems International (MSI), the technology purveyors, claims to have “achieved a number of rainfalls.”
MSI scientists use ionizers to negatively charge electrons that naturally attract specks of dust in the atmosphere. Using convection, these particles are carried upward on air currents can become clouds at the right height. The electrons will attract water molecules from the air and condense them. With enough water collected, the “cloud” can create rain.
This privately owned Swiss corporation “ focused on providing a rain enhancement service to increase the supply of fresh water in arid regions of the world.” The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPM) was involved in the MSI experiments to create rain.
MPM attributes industrialization, rising need for more resources due to population growth and greenhouse emissions to the current state of our planet and
seeks to use scientific methods to manipulate our atmosphere to create their desired effect – to alter the climate so that the variations created will change weather patterns worldwide.
The Earthsystem Model (ESM)
developed by MPM studies atmospheric-ocean systems with hypothesis tested and the integration of simulating natural weather patterns. MSI is collaborating with meteorological scientists and researching and development projects for governments across the globe in order to fabricate rainstorms using Weathertec projects.
Weathertec has been around since 2010 wherein 50 rainstorms complete with thunder and lightning were created in Abu Dhabi where rainfall is scarce. This $11
project is an “innovative rainfall enhancement technology.” MSI, working with the Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, president of the UAE, embarked on the rain-making experiment by manipulating electrons with ionizers.
