According to Cássio Clemente, CEO of Rain & amp.; Co, a company that represents the technology in Brazil, the atmospheric ionization method by electrification has already been used successfully in countries such as Mexico, Cuba, Russia and Israel.

He explained that “electric charges are thrown in the atmosphere and discharge ions begin to thicken water molecules. The joining molecules will have until cloud formation and precipitation. ” The technology was developed in Israel. The use of it depends on the construction of towers stations comprise: an 8 meters and seven smaller than 3 meters. “The smaller towers are arranged around the main within a radius of 150 meters, electrically interconnected, and have a very small one kilowatt power supply. This energy goes from the bottom up, the smaller towers for more, and it turns the electromagnetic process. The energy disperses in the atmosphere electrifies the atmosphere and begins the process of consolidation, “said Cassius.
