Laser Lights Can Engine and Stop the Rain
DENPASAR – Lasers can engineer rain by breaking clouds of potential rain clouds.
Quoted from various sources, scientists from a university in Switzerland found a way to control rain with laser assisted condensation techniques. With this technique, rain can be engineered or otherwise stopped.
Quoted by Nature, who published an article in early September 2011, wrote that researchers from the University of Geneva found a way to shoot lasers to make water droplets in the air with certain techniques.
This technique is claimed to be safer than methods currently in use such as filling air with dry ice particles and silver iodide.
With a technique called laser condensation, nitric acid particles are formed when the laser is fired into the air. The effect makes the water molecules join.
So far, new research can form molecules that are too light to fall as rain. However, scientists hope that later it will be able to control the size of the water droplets. If that happens, they can determine when it rains or not.
Unfortunately, this technique can only be done in humid air, not dry ones. Therefore, the application is limited.
“It might one day be a way to shorten the rainy season or reduce flooding in certain areas”, Jérôme Kasparian, a physicist at the University of Geneva who participated in the study.
But certainly, these researchers are convinced that this technique is better than it currently is.
“The laser can run continuously and you do not need to spread a number of silver iodides in the atmosphere”, Kasparian said as reported by the Guardian.
In another part, Head of Meteorology Climatology and Geophysics Council (BMKG) Jembrana, Rahmat Prasetia said, there was no rain due to lasers or floodlights. It can’t be that (floodlight) thwarts rain.
The retreat of the rainy season is due to the east wind is still dominant and the dry phase makes the rain delay or late. Factors like the one above that cause the percentage of availability of water vapor in the atmosphere is not high enough.
“Hopefully there will be more rain this month and we need to be on the alert for disaster-prone areas”, he urged.
