Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus for transporting and dispersing solid particles into the earth's stratosphere, comprising a conduit connecting a substantially ground level location to an elevated location, a particle transport means, and a deagglomeration means coupled with a dispersal means, wherein the deagglomeration means and dispersal means are located at an elevated location, and to a method of transporting particles of high refractive index into the stratosphere as well as to an aircraft and to a cloud thus formed.
Claims35
An apparatus for transporting and dispersing solid particles into the earth's atmosphere, comprising a conduit connecting a substantially ground level location to an elevated location, a particle transport means for conveying solid particles through the conduit from the substantially ground level location to the elevated location, and a deagglomeration means coupled with a dispersal means, wherein the deagglomeration means and dispersal means are located at the elevated location, wherein the solid particles have a refractive index greater than 2.0, wherein substantially all of the solid particles are sub-micron particles, and wherein the elevated location is in the stratosphere.
A method of transporting solid particles into the earth's atmosphere, the method comprising transporting the solid particles via a conduit from a substantially ground level location to an elevated location, deagglomerating the solid particles at the elevated location, and dispersing the solid particles into the atmosphere, wherein the solid particles have a refractive index greater than 2.0, wherein substantially all of the solid particles are sub-micron particles, and wherein the elevated location is in the stratosphere.
