Generation of Artificial Updrafts in the Atmosphere by a Multilevel Facility

Abstract

A method is suggested for generating an air updraft in the atmosphere by heating air at multiple levels of a garland comprised of fastened aerostats with black balloons. The balloon surfaces are heated by the sun and transfer heat to air, whereas grounded emitters arranged in tiers saturate air with charged ions that serve as condensation centers. The principal aims are producing clouds, stimulation of precipitation, and purification of air from pollutions.
