WeatherTec Ionization Technology

Ionization is completely environmentally friendly

WeatherTec Ionization Technology enhances rainfalls in semi-arid regions covering thousands of km2. The Ionization increases natural rainfall development by mimicking the sun’s ionization and is completely environment-friendly without generating any waste products.

Ionization enhances the effects of the sun

The company’s technology mimics the natural processes that initiate rainfall, and adds large volumes of rainwater through ionization of the atmospheric humidity influencing the growth of raindrops in clouds. The technology is environmentally friendly, solar powered, emits zero CO2, uses Big Data, Digital 4.0. Cooperation and due diligence done by experts from Max Planck Institute, LMU Munich, Queensland University; certification for ISO 2008 by TÜV SÜD, Germany

• High voltage is provided to the emitters on the ground with solar power
• They emit trillions of ions into the atmosphere that connect to aerosols
• They create a plume of negative charges, which elevates by natural updrafts & winds
• The Earth electric field gets slightly influenced
• Cloud particles such as droplets are charged near cloud boundaries growing quicker
• Enhanced clouds are developed, and rainfall occurs over several 1,000 km2

Command and Control, Jordan

The WeatherTec Command & Control Room is the heart of the system monitoring and operating all ionization sites. Meteorologists, climatologists, IT experts, atmospheric physicists and engineers work together to prepare the best forecast to ensure real time control of the operations. Customized high-resolution weather models are applied in collaboration with local meteorological institutions.
