Who invented artificial rain in Thailand?

His Majesty’s royal initiative was implemented with the cooperation of three royal relatives: M.L. Dej Sanitwongse, H.H. Prince Chakrabandh Pensiri and M.R. Debriddhi Devakul. They studied and applied the rainmaking techniques of other countries with Thailand’s climate.

Who invented the artificial rain?

Vincent J. Schaefer
Vincent J. Schaefer, a self-taught chemist who invented cloud “seeding” and created the first artificially induced snow and rainfall, died on Sunday at a hospital in Schenectady, N.Y. He was 87 and lived in Rotterdam, N.Y.

How do you make artificial rain?

Cloud seeding is the method of modification of the weather. In this process, the artificial rain is produced by spraying dry ice or silver iodide aerosols into the upper part of the cloud and trying to stimulate the precipitation and form rain. The stimulation can be done by using aeroplane and rocket.

How does Thailand make rain?

Agitation: Seeding hygroscopic chemicals stimulates a mass of air to rise higher to create humidity. This helps nature to form rain clouds, and it increases the potential amount of rainfall.

When did artificial rain start?

1946
Artificial rain has a long history. In 1946 the first experiment to create it was conducted in New York. The hope was it might help tackle severe drought gripping the country. The process of cloud seeding was invented.

What is the name of artificial rain?

Cloud seeding is also referred to as man made precipitation and artificial rain making.

Which acid is used for artificial rain?

Silver iodide or dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) is used to supply naturally deficient clouds with the proper concentration of ice crystals to increase rainfall through the ‘cold rain’ process.

When was rainmaking invented?

Rainmaking or precipitation enhancement began in 1946 when the American scientists Vincent Schaefer and Bernard Vonnegu at General Electric successfully seeded a cloud with dry ice and then watched snow fall from its base.

How artificial rain is caused?

Artificial rain is produced by spraying clouds with substances like Silver Iodide or cheaper available options like solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) or even finely powdered Sodium Chloride. In a condition where there are clouds, but no rain, it is a phenomenon called supercooling.

Is silver iodide safe?

Under the guidelines of the Clean Water Act by the EPA, silver iodide is considered a hazardous substance, a priority pollutant, and as a toxic pollutant.
