Hail Storm Force Multiplier - Weather as a Weapon for US Military
In ancient times, there was not one God, but many gods and the humans in ancient times believed that these gods controlled the weather, and created storms to harass, or teach humans a lesson and to keep them in line.
Perhaps, this is why it seems like a natural for military leaders to want to use the weather as a weapon against their opponents.
Just look at the destruction it can do? And, it's true that weather often has decided the battle in previous wars.
When the Allied forces stormed the beach at Normandy, weather was an incredible factor, and it made all the difference.
In previous wars sandstorms, typhoons, freezing rain, and other weather anomalies had determine the outcomes as well.
What if you could make it hail on your enemy? Could that even be possible? Maybe not today, perhaps in the future it might actually be feasible.
There was an interesting article in TerraDaily Online News in the Weather Report Category titled "Bacterial Creates Hail Stones: Study," by Washington DC Staff Writers and published on May 24, 2011.
The article discussed a terrible hail storm in Bangladesh and the people were pummeled by hail, lightning, and a deluge of rain.
The article stated; "Bacteria have been found within the embryo, the first part of a hailstone to develop, in order for clouds to make ice, from which snow can fall, a particle must be present for the ice crystals to grow around, known as an ice nucleus.
In order for precipitation to occur, a nucleating particle must be present to allow for aggregation of water molecules, these nuclei can be bacteria or other biological particles.
" Wow, so that means if you seed a cloud with bacteria you could help the hailstones glue together better, and become larger and stronger.
A short time ago, I mentioned this at our think tank, and one of the thinkers reminded me of how the Russians once used cement dust particles to help form rain clouds, and unfortunately those particles caused giant hailstorms, and rather than providing the rain that was needed, giant hailstorms took out an entire city and caused horrific damage.
So much for experimenting with the weather right - apparently, the Russians learned something, how to make hailstorms.
But rather than using cement particles and dust, it might be easier to use bacteria.
And there might be some good uses for this as well.
For instance putting the right bacteria into the soil which would help strengthen a forest by helping out the root systems, causing the plants to grow bigger, thicker, and therefore pull more carbon out of the air, or revitalize a rainforest.
Well those are the good uses for all this, but what about using hail as a weapon for war, or a force-multiplier? If you were attacking an area which had a high mountain range you could seed the clouds as they approached that mountain range with bacteria to cause hailstones at the base of the mountain.
And depending upon the terrain you might be able to control where the deluge of hailstones landed within a region.
Perhaps, on an enemy military air base seriously damaging all the aircraft, or stopping an advancing army.
Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
