How To Control The Weather - EPIC HOW TO

Wow so much stuff up there hi ever since we first looked up into the sky people have dreamt of controlling the weather from storm to Captain Planet everybody wants to tame Mother Nature you too can master the elements we're going to show you how this is epic how to control the weather man's desire to make it rain dates all the way back to the late 1800s when con men would travel from town to town proclaiming they could make it rain for a fee of course these hustlers were put on a show firing chemicals or gases up into the air leaving town before people could wise up to the app in the 1950s Austrian psychoanalyst will have right claimed he could create rain with his new invention the cloud Buster a cloud buster is rows of 15-foot aluminum pipes mounted on a mobile platform connected to cables that were inserted into water the idea was that it would act like a lightning rod drying out Oregon which was a made-up force that Wright believed inhibited a clouds ability to produce rain if it sounds crazy it's cuz it is but it goes to show you that we've always wanted to turn ourselves into Thor mostly physical we let rock heartiness so is there any hope to actually control the weather that doesn't rely on old-timey pseudoscience well during the nineteen forties scientist Irving Langmuir and Vincent Schaefer discovered they could create snow in a lab setting by adding ice crystals to a supercooled cloud with help of chemist Bernard Vonnegut brother of author Kurt Vonnegut they developed cloud seeding cloud seeding works by adding silver iodide to clouds this chemical bonds with the moisture inside of the clouds freezing into droplets of rain or snow cloud seeding has been used by ski towns to increase snowfall and countries looking to solve droughts in 2009 China ended a four-month long drought with cloud seeding creating a three-day long snowfall and the earliest reported snowfall in Beijing since 1987 thank you Farmers Almanac there's another example during the 2008 Beijing Olympics China launched 1104 missiles into an incoming storm so it would be out of rain before it hit the opening ceremonies the cloud seeding work the opening ceremony stayed dry in areas surrounding Beijing reported heavier than expected rainfall science scientists are currently developing new ways to cloud seed using powerful lasers our powerful try one terawatt Tara what Tara Watt that's the same amount of energy that all the nuclear power plants on earth produce at any given instance combine which is a lot so you can make it rain and snow but how about lightning scientists have recently developed lightly Rockets used to help research how lightning works these Rockets are strapped with ten thousand three hundred feet of copper wire and then launched into a thundercloud the wire acts as conductor he creates a lightning storm scientists are developing another way to control lightning with lasers why lasers up because sometimes science is awesome okay actually when firing a laser at a cloud scientists are small electrical discharges within the clouds theoretically with a more powerful laser you can create bolts of lightning on demand how about trying out with the most powerful laser in the world hmm located at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California this thing can generate 411 trillion watts that is 1,000 times more than the entire United States generates in one instance however this laser can currently only be fired for 23 billions of a second so whatever weather shenanigans you have in store you better do them now up too late but what about tornadoes and hurricanes Joe shut up let me tell you god science is still learning what causes hurricanes and tornadoes but people have managed to create them inside of a lab the windy facility in London Ontario Canada has seven port individually controlled fans of different sizes that allow them to whip up a five meter wide tornado and also former ExxonMobil engineer Luis Mashhad built a vortex engine capable of creating miniature tornadoes 20 metres tall eventually he hooks this machine can scale up word and use exhaust from power plants to create more powerful tornadoes in order to use them as a source of electricity at the University of Miami in Florida researchers have created the surge structure atmosphere interaction or sustained it's an acrylic tank 75 feet long and 6.5 feet high inside 38,000 gallons of seawater and a 1,700 horsepower fan combined to make a category 5 hurricane that's winds up to 157 miles per hour y'all when you control the weather who can help prevent dangerous storms lots of work has been put into stopping hurricanes as well not just making them starting with project storm us-backed initiative to cloud suit several Atlantic based hurricanes which ran from 1962 to 1983 but scientists determined that hurricanes don't have enough supercooled water proceeding to be effective another approach saw planes dump a water absorbing polymer inside of hurricane to have it soak up the storm that didn't work either but we're just humans Berkeley scientists suggested using an environment-friendly oil to place on the surface of the ocean to prevent the hurricane from forming but other research showed that hurricane winds would disperse the oil slick entirely another idea was to buy f4 jet planes around the eye of a hurricane creating a supersonic boom that would disrupt the path of the hurricane itself this was conceived in 2008 but former director of NOAA hurricane Research Division Hugh Willoughby claims that the sound wave would be entirely ineffective but awesome but ineffective however if you're James Bond supervillain you can also use Mother Nature as a powerful weapon the US military actually used weather warfare during the Vietnam War known as Operation Popeye the military used cloud seeding over the Ho Chi Minh Trail to extend the monsoon season and increased rainfall by an estimated 30 percent this limited the use of roads and cut off important supply routes so it kind of worked but if you do so choose to go down the path of the dark side be warned using weather manipulation as a weapon has been banned by the UN since 1978 so if you do do it it's only a matter of time to put James Bond or an Avenger shows up and take your weather control and ass down so that's it the end and a video guys that's how you bend the world's weather to your will you crazy sons of [ __ ] don't forget to subscribe for more ways to conquer the planet and or water your garden and always come back to right here with me joe bereta this has been epic ow - I called you a son of a [ __ ] earlier like it was for what I'm sorry let us know what topic you guys think we should break down next in the
