Laser called upon to produce rain

Well, we’re glad to say that the future might just elicit the same kind of response, although it will be slightly different in application. No longer do you offer up prayers, but rather, fire a powerful laser to the sky in order to produce water droplets in the air – a certainly different step from cloud-seeding in an effort to trigger rainfall.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;"> This technique is known as “laser-assisted water condensation”, where it will enable humans to have some level of control over where and when rain will fall should the atmosphere have a high enough humidity level. Researchers have already demonstrated this particular technique in field tests after sending a mobile laser laboratory which is roughly the size of a small garage over to the banks of the Rhône located near lake Geneva in Switzerland.</div> <div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=4CiVjdcS2DM:ixf87phR-aI:qj6IDK7rITs" mce_href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=4CiVjdcS2DM:ixf87phR-aI:qj6IDK7rITs" style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"><img alt="" border="0" mce_src="http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/7291/70417348.gif" src="http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/7291/70417348.gif" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px;" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=4CiVjdcS2DM:ixf87phR-aI:gIN9vFwOqvQ" mce_href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=4CiVjdcS2DM:ixf87phR-aI:gIN9vFwOqvQ" style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"><img alt="" border="0" mce_src="http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/2145/27930936.gif" src="http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/2145/27930936.gif" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px;" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=4CiVjdcS2DM:ixf87phR-aI:V_sGLiPBpWU" mce_href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=4CiVjdcS2DM:ixf87phR-aI:V_sGLiPBpWU" style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;"><img alt="" border="0" mce_src="http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/44/50445437.gif" src="http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/44/50445437.gif" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 640px;" /></a></div> </div> </div>
