Abstract
Provided is a wind blow type ground-based cloud seeding material generator for weather modification, which is capable of perform an experiment for precipitation enhancement through the steps of burning cloud seeding flares on the ground, vertically and horizontally dispersing the seeding materials, and dispersing the seeding material to clouds or fog to grow water drops and ice crystals, and which makes experiment and management easy through effective vertical dispersion of cloud seeding materials.
Claims8
A wind blow type ground-based cloud seeding material generator for weather modification, comprising:
- one or more cloud seeding flares which discharge seeding materials through burning and are equipped with an ignitor disposed at a lower portion;
- a body formed in a tapered shape so that a diameter of an inlet formed at a lower portion thereof is larger than that of an outlet formed at an upper portion, and having a cloud seeding flare supporter 55 disposed therein to support the cloud seeding flares;
- a support unit arranged on the bottom surface to support the body;
- a blowing fan disposed at a lower side of the body to blow air upward;
- a power supply unit for supplying power to the blowing fan through the lower portion of the body;
- and
- a remote controller for firing the ignitor of the cloud seeding flares.
