Electric rainmaking technology gets Mexico's blessing
Article Abstract:
A technology has been developed by Mexico based Electrificacion Local de la Atmosfera Terrestre SA (ELAT), which causes rainfall by erecting a network of conductors meant to ionise the air by amplifying the natural current between the earth and the ionosphere. According to this technology, ions attract water in the atmosphere creating the aerosol that produces clouds and they also charge the dust already in the air.
