Crear artificialmente nubes de lluvia

Crear artificialmente nubes de lluvia El Mundo, 2-12-2002

Un científico británico afirma haber inventado una máquina capaz de crear nubes de lluvia. Se trata de una turbina de 60 metros de altura y accionada por el viento.

Un científico de la universidad escocesa de Edimburgo, Stephen Salter, ha recibido una subvención gubernamental para poner a punto su última invención, la primera máquina capaz de crear nubes de lluvia, indica 'The Times'. El profesor tuvo la idea de crear una turbina de unos 60 metros de altura en forma de batidora de huevos accionada por el viento que, colocada debajo de un catamarán, puede aspirar agua de mar y pulverizarla en la atmósfera para crear nubes de lluvia.

Empleada con prudencia, en particular en las inmediaciones de zonas desérticas, esta invención podría permitir luchar contra la sequía en el mundo, frenar la subida de las aguas como consecuencia del calentamiento climático y contribuir a acabar con el conflicto que opone a israelíes y palestinos en torno al acceso al agua, dijo el científico.

El Gobierno le concedió 105.000 libras (unos 160.000 euros) para poner a punto su proyecto, indica el diario. Salter, de 62 años, no quiere dejarse distraer por la incredulidad de algunos de sus colegas, explica 'The Times'. "Se dijo que no se podían construir barcos de hierro. Se dijo que las ondas de radio de Marconi no podrían ser difundidas más allá del horizonte. La institución casi siempre se equivoca", recuerda el diario.

When looking at the calendar on my desktop, I find out that it's less than 20 days away from the Christmas. Time is up to prepare a gift for my wife and family. Last year, the winter is so cold, I just bought her several [url=http://www.aniub.com]UGG boots[/url] to warm her feet. But now my beautiful and slim wife deserved more than before! I decide to give her a big pleasantly surprised, She love the high heel shoes so much, may be this is my best choice,[url=http://www.clpumps.com]Christian Louboutin[/url] is a popular brand in recent years, the red high heels can make a women looks much more sexy, the special design and its high-quality raw materials also attract my eyes. The price may be a little expensive, how ever, it's worth the value. The high-heel shoes are favorites of ladies because the shoes adorn their legs, especially for the ladies whose legs are short. Maybe people usually saw high-heel shoes in the nightclubs 30 years ago, but now high-heel shoes help ladies a lot on dress up, no matter what you dress, it looks beautiful when you are wearing a pair of high-heel shoes and will attract men's eyes. The red sole design of Christian Louboutin is very beautiful,especially the [url=http://www.clpumps.com/Discount%20Christian%20Louboutin-pumps_c15]Christian Louboutin Pumps[/url], it is also a sign of the Christian Louboutin for about 20 years, but the one I have booked at a online Christian Louboutin shop is red and black, it looks very graceful and special, I think my girlfriend should like it very much when she see open the gift box. Well, you know, the Christmas holiday is a good time for dating, next year maybe I will buy diamond ring, but this year Christian Louboutin is the best Christmas gift. What about your gifts for your girlfriends or the other people?

Hey I’m new here. I have found something very interesting. Can you save $500+ by Christmas? You can try and here's how.
Stop paying for things you don't use. If you have not set foot in the gym since your New Year's resolution, ditch it. Cancel the subscriptions for magazines and papers you don't read. You can also raise your deductibles for home and auto insurance. Conservatively, that's $50 a month.

Vi la presentación de este proyecto en un programa donde se exponian 5 ideas para salvar el mundo. Me parece muy esperanzador, ademas creo que tiene poco impacto medioambiental.
