Swiss Company Claims They will Make It Rain Whenever They wish [Weather]

I’d never wish to suggest that Nikolai Tesla isn’t awesome-he’s a badass-but I actually have serious doubts anyone could use his ideas for an ionization machine to create 52 rainstorms inside the middle east, like these guys claim .

The Abu Dhabi-based Meteo Systems says that after air humidity is above 30%, you need to use their Tesla-inspired ionizer to send charged particles up into the air, which pulls dust, which in turn attracts water particles, and then-BOOMSHAKALAKA-you’ve got a rainstorm.

According to the Daily Mail, Meteo Systems aren’t revealing any data for these claims, or any variety of high level explanation of their technology. But they claim 52 rainstorms that happened between July 2010 and August 2010 in five different areas around the Abu Dhabi area was an immediate result of their machines. They’ve many people disagreeing with them.

Most skeptics point out that the whole Middle East had an unusually moist rainy season last year, which happened to coincide with an identical period of time Meteo Systems is claiming. Even weather experts are emphatically dismissing this claim, with the correct, most fantastically-nerdy quote coming from former NOAA department chairman Joseph Golden:

” That’s garbage, that’s absolute garbage,” Joseph Golden, a former senior meteorologist at the Forecast Systems Lab of the National Weather Service, told Fox News. ” I don’t believe that for a nanosecond. You aren’t going to get anything out of clear skies. I don’t wish to sound like Tom Cruise here, but show me the information.”

I’m not looking to say weather manipulation is impossible (not until Haitian weatherman weighs in, at the very least), but very like achieving dominion over gravity and time, I believe it’s going to take more than rehashing old hypothesis to accomplish it. However, I even have without doubt that with all of the money circulating through out the region, they might make it rain in alternative ways. [ Daily Mail via AOL via Dvice ]
