Description

  The present invention relates to a method for generating artificial rain and the like.

For example, the air over the Indian continent warms up in summer (June to September) and generates an updraft. To compensate for this, the Indian Ocean blows a monsoon that is a seasonal southwest wind toward the continent. When this monsoon blows from the sea side, a lot of moist air is brought inland, and a strong and long rainy season will continue.
During the rainy season, rain clouds will flow along with the monsoon, but the Himalayan Mountains in the flow destination will stand up and be cooled, so there will be a problem that all rain will fall before that and cause a heavy flood on the Indian continent.
On the other hand, the existence of the Himalaya Mountains causes a very dry air stream without moisture to flow beyond the Himalayas. Had become a bottleneck.
Some have taken such mitigation measures (for example, Patent Document 1).

  JP 2006-239399 A

In the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, water that has fallen in a mountain range is accumulated in an artificial pond provided in the middle of the flow, and a humid updraft is generated based on the accumulated water and is guided to the Taklamakan Desert over the Himalaya Mountains. There are also shown examples in which the ascending performance is enhanced by raising the water vapor jetted by standing up a plurality of water tanks as a spiral flow and generating artificial clouds.
Since this swirl flow method is a fixed position method, in order to bring rain to the desired area, work such as loading and unloading a set of devices such as water tanks on a mobile vehicle each time was necessary. .

  The present invention is intended to solve the problems of the conventional method, and is equipped with an artificial rain generator in the moving means so that it can be moved to an area where rainfall is required at any time and anywhere. However, artificial rain that makes it possible to generate artificial rain, especially by combining a plurality of moving means in a more favorable positional relationship to reliably raise the swirl flow to the upper layer and to generate artificial rain reliably. The purpose is to provide a generation method.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention according to claim 1, the artificial rain generating device is mounted on a moving means such as a vehicle or a ship, and the plurality of moving means are appropriately combined based on a positional relationship. In order to form a spiral updraft from the ground.

  As described above, the method for generating artificial rain and the like according to the present invention provides a spiral from the ground by mounting an artificial rain generating device on a moving means such as a vehicle or a ship and combining the plurality of moving means in an appropriate positional relationship. As an upward flow is formed, an artificial rain generating device is installed in the moving means so that it can be moved to an area that requires rainfall at any time so that it can be rained anytime and anywhere. In combination with a more preferable positional relationship, it is possible to provide a method for generating artificial rain and the like that can surely raise the swirl flow to an upper layer and generate a large amount of artificial rain.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
A is one main vehicle, B is three auxiliary vehicles, these vehicles A, B... Are large trucks for transportation, and vehicle A uses a slightly larger vehicle than B. In each vehicle A and B, 1 is an engine, 2 is an exhaust pipe system, 3 is a loading platform, and 4 is a rear wheel. These vehicles A and B may be large trailers or vehicles employing a crawler type suitable for deserts and wetlands.

A set of artificial rain (rain clouds) generator C is mounted on the platform 3 of each vehicle A, B. As the apparatus C, a moving carriage 6 that can move in any direction within a plane on the loading platform 3 and can be locked at an appropriate position is provided at the rear part of the loading platform 3. Is mounted.
Since the blowing device 8 can be moved and locked, the positional relationship between the blowing devices 8 can be more accurately matched on the virtual circle R. However, the blowing device 8 may be fixed to the loading platform 3 so as to achieve the matching by adjusting the movement of the vehicles A and B.
The blowing device 8 of the vehicle A has a lower main body 9 which is large in a drum shape and is equipped with a blower 7, while a middle stage is a throttle cone portion 10 and an upper portion is a thin blowing pipe 11.
The blowing device 8 of the vehicle B has a lower main body 9 which is a drum type and is equipped with a blower 7, while a middle stage is a throttle cone portion 10 and an upper portion is a narrow blowing pipe 12.
In particular, the blower 7 of the vehicle A is configured by a single fan, but may be configured by a plurality of fans a as shown in FIG. In this case, it is possible to form a spiral flow by making the axis of each fan a... Not tilted vertically but tiltable and setting the tilt in the same direction. In this case, a spiral blade for ensuring a spiral flow may be provided as a guide in the main body 9 and / or the blowing pipe 11.

A liquid tank (water tank) 13, a warm steam generator 14, and a condensation nucleus supply device 15 are installed on the other surface of the loading platform 3, and water can be supplied from the liquid tank 13 to the warm steam generator 14. The warm steam generator 14 generates warm water of about 30 degrees by a heater (not shown) so that warm steam can be generated. The temperature of 30 degrees is an example, and it may be heated further. Warm steam from the warm steam generator 14 is sent into the blowing device 8 by air supply means (not shown). This air supply means can be replaced with a suction means which is a blower 7.
The condensed nuclei from the condensed nucleus supply device 15 are fed into the blowing device 8 so that the amount can be controlled by a pump (not shown). As the condensation nucleus, smoke generating means such as incense and salt are suitable. Moreover, hot spring water (for example, containing iron, containing salt, containing carbonate, etc.) is also suitable. The condensation nucleus supply device 15 is provided in both the vehicles A and B, but may be provided only in the vehicle A.

The blowing pipe 11 on the vehicle A is fixed and extends vertically, but the blowing pipe 12 on the vehicle B is connected to the throttle cone portion 10 through a flexible pipe while being in communication with the throttle cone portion 10 so that the angle can be changed by the cylinder 17. Yes. The moving carriage 6 may be provided with a rotating device so that the blowing pipe 11 can turn freely. As shown in the upper right column of FIG. 2, a spiral flow generation guide 18... May be attached in the blowup pipe 11 to blow up the spiral flow from the central pipe 11 itself.
The spiral flow is counterclockwise as viewed from above as shown in FIG. 2, but in some cases, the spiral flow may be in the opposite direction. It is assumed that the direction coincides with the spiral direction formed by the blowing pipes 12 of the vehicle B.

  When it is desired to artificially rain in a certain area, a specific point that is windward away from the area is determined, and the vehicles A, B. As shown in FIG. 1, movement control is performed so that the blowing device 8 of the vehicle A is positioned at the center of the virtual circle R, and the remaining vehicles B are arranged so that the blowing devices 8 are arranged every 120 degrees on the virtual circle R. Lay out the vehicle B. The height of the blow pipes 12 of the vehicle B is controlled by the cylinder 17 so as to blow up in the tangential direction of the central hot steam as shown in FIG. Of course, this position control includes movement control of the vehicles B... Themselves and movement control such as mutual approach / separation of the movable carriages 6. A more favorable spiral flow is generated through all these controls.

The blow-up from the vehicle A is larger than the blow-up force, amount, and speed from the other vehicle B, and the hot steam blown up from the vehicle B is drawn by the blow-up force to form a spiral flow, and it becomes an upward flow as it is. . The blowing force from the vehicle A may be made slower than the blowing force from the vehicle B. In this case, the amount of blown up from the vehicle B tends to be attracted by the negative force from the vehicle A, and the whole rises as a spiral flow.
If the spiral flow generation guide 18 is provided as shown in the right column of FIG. 2, the spiral flow and the spiral flow from the vehicle B cooperate to generate a further spiral upward flow. The warm steam can be raised higher.
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a cone 19 is provided at the tip of the blow-up pipe 11 or an outer periphery such as a middle stage or a lower stage with a gap in the pipe 11, and a spiral flow promoting blade 19a is attached to the inner circumference. In this case, it is possible to reliably perform the reception of the warm steam from the blowing pipes 12 of the vehicle B and the formation of the spiral flow. In this case, the spiral flow is a spiral from the inside of the blowing pipe 11 of the vehicle A. Rotate in the same direction as the flow.
In place of the vehicles A and B, ships including small ships, trolleys, aircraft carriers, tankers, and the like are configured to gather together by controlling the positions as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 to generate artificial rain clouds. You can also.

The embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 shows another embodiment for generating a spiral flow (cyclone flow).
In this embodiment, a round body type main body 9 is mounted on a movable carriage 6 of a vehicle A, and introduction pipes 20 are inserted through a plurality of locations such as three peripheral positions thereof. The blower pipe 12 is connectable so that a spiral flow is generated. For this connection, the flexible pipe 22 attached to the blowing pipe 12 side may be inserted and locked in a detaching tool 21 provided at the end of the introduction pipe 20. A cyclone pipe 23 having a squeezing cone portion 10 at the lower portion thereof is connected to the upper portion of the main body 9 so as to communicate therewith. It fixes so that it may extend on the cyclone pipe 23 via the support tool which is not shown in figure. From both the blowing pipe 11 and the inner circumferential clearance of the cyclone pipe 23, the hot steam mixed with condensed nuclei rises as a spiral flow while rotating in the same direction. In this case, the upward flow is generated in two layers, the inner and outer layers. However, as shown in the right column of FIG. Good.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the condensed nucleus supplying device 15 is used as an exhaust pipe system 2 connected to the engine 1 to supply the exhaust gas itself to the blowing device 8 as a gas mixed with condensed nucleus. The point that the warm steam is supplied from the liquid tank 13 to the blowing device 8 through the warm steam generator 14 is the same as in the above embodiment, except that the condensation nucleus is used as the exhaust gas. In this case, the warm steam is supplied to the supercharging pump. The load on the engine 1 is reduced by feeding the exhaust pipe 2 into the exhaust pipe system 2. Note that a water tank lorry T may be combined in place of the liquid tank 13.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the exhaust heat of the engine 1 is used as a heating means of the warm steam generator 14, and the exhaust gas component is supplied to the blowing device 8 as a gas containing condensed nuclei together with the heating means. It is a thing. Reference numeral 26 denotes an exhaust auxiliary pump.
Of course, the condensation nucleus supply device 15 as described above may be provided separately.

  FIG. 8 shows an embodiment of a method for generating artificial rain in the ocean. Reference numeral 27 denotes cumulonimbus clouds, which are naturally generated in this example. However, as shown in the figure, an appropriate number of those equipped with an artificial rain generator C on a ship 28 such as an aircraft carrier or a tanker are arranged to artificially generate rain clouds. It may be. The cumulonimbus 27 dissipates its latent heat as shown by the arrow S as it reaches the sky, and an upward flow naturally occurs with the dissipation, and the cumulonimbus 27 'continues in the surrounding area. Will occur. In this example, a ship 28... Equipped with an artificial rain generator C equipped with a condensation nucleus supplying device is prepared in the peripheral area of several cumulonimbus clouds 27, and the hot steam mixed with condensation nucleuses is positively raised from there, and the cumulonimbus clouds. 27 '. In this case, the ships 28 may be circulated as shown by arrows to positively and reliably generate the cumulonimbus 27 '.

  As in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, more hot steam from the blowing pipe 11 may be generated as a spiral flow. The blow-up pipe 11 is composed of a thick part and a thin upper part, and a space between them is attached by a partition plate 31 having a donut plate shape and through holes 30.

The warm steam rising in the blow-up pipe 11 hits the partition plate 31 on the outer periphery thereof, and since the through hole 30 is opened just at that location, the warm steam passes more.
The warm steam that has passed through the through hole 30 rises between the outer pipe 33 and the blowing pipe 11 by the spiral flow generation guide 32, and rises as an upward flow while being surrounded by a stronger spiral flow. .
In addition, you may provide a spiral flow origin guide also in the blowing pipe 11. FIG. In this case, the guide generates a spiral flow in a synchronous and amplifying manner in the same direction as the spiral flow generated by the guide 32. The through holes 30 may be pipes that are inclined in the circumferential direction so that a spiral flow can be generated. In this case, the guide 32 can be provided side by side to obtain a spiral flow more reliably, but may be omitted.

  On the other hand, in a city or the like, the ground surface is heated during the heat wave, and the heat island phenomenon occurs due to heat radiation (arrow D in FIG. 11). For example, in the vicinity of the high-rise building 36 shown in FIG. 11 (the side view is shown in the figure) accompanying this phenomenon, the building 36 is struck by heat radiation and blows up along the elevation as it is helped by the flow of a constant wind such as sea breeze. The phenomenon is happening.

  The embodiment of FIG. 11 is configured to suppress such a heat island phenomenon using the artificial rain generator C. That is, the hot steam in which the apparatus C is installed at the base of the base where hot air rises as indicated by arrow E in the building 36 is raised as indicated by arrow F. The hot air that flows into the area due to the phenomenon is blown into the building 36 more reliably and strongly as indicated by the arrow X by the blower 37 installed in front of the building 36. As a result, the warm steam generated by the artificial rain generator C is accelerated by the upward flow caused by the hot air (arrow E) that blows along the elevation of the building 36 and is raised above the building 36 to the sky. . As a result, as shown in the figure, an artificial cloud is generated to cause rain in the city, and the heat island phenomenon is suppressed. As shown in the figure, the device C can be provided on the roof of the building 36, and the roof and the base of the building 36 can be provided side by side.

Similarly, there is a tower 40 shown in FIG. 12 as one of the high-strength buildings. In the case of the tower 40, a heat release phenomenon occurs in the summer from the steel members constituting the tower 40, and this heat release causes an updraft G. To do. An artificial rain generator C is installed on the foundation of the tower 40 so as to use this updraft G, and the rain is encouraged by raising it synchronously.
As shown in the drawing, a balloon 41 with an artificial rain generator C (a gas-sealed balloon or balloon such as a hot air balloon or a helium) 41 is lifted from the upper stage 40a of the tower 40 via a checker b, and the apex 41b or You may make it raise the warm vapor | steam mixed with a condensation nucleus from the gondola which mounts the generator C. FIG. Reference numeral 41a denotes a lifting / lowering drive device. The strut member b may be an ultralight and strong tube that is blown up through warm steam mixed with condensation nuclei. The balloon 41 may be lifted through the top of a tall object such as a building or a chimney. A plurality of balloons 41 may be provided. When the balloon 41 is a hot-air balloon, the rising heat source gas can be used for generating hot steam and supplying condensed nuclei. You may make it raise. The balloon 41 has a normal spherical shape, but it can be any shape such as a cylindrical shape or a cylindrical shape with a vertical hole in the center. You may make it blow warm steam through the vertical hole in this case.

  Further, the embodiment of FIG. 13 is configured to raise the warm steam by using the rising force of the gas generated by the chimney 42, which is also one of the high-strength buildings, and the base surface of the chimney 42 is artificial. The rain generating device C is installed and the blowing pipe 43 is guided along the chimney 42 to the tip end portion of the chimney 42.

  FIG. 14 shows that exhaust gas that tends to accumulate in a tunnel 45 provided on a high-speed route or the like is sent out by the air supply means 46 in the vehicle traveling direction, and these gases are collected and collected in the hood 47. The blower 48 provided on the upper surface is used as an updraft I, and the artificial rain generator C is installed outside the tunnel 45 so that the updraft pipe 49 is on the orbit of the updraft I. As a result, the warm steam rises with the gas content from the inside of the tunnel 45 and brings rain in the vicinity or the point where it flows.

  In the embodiment of FIG. 15, the flow of the jet combustion gas J emitted from the aircraft 51 such as a jet fighter is made an upward flow K through the guide guide 52, and the blowing pipe 53 comes on the guide 52 corresponding to the orbit. In this way, the artificial rain generator C is installed, and this can bring rain to a nearby area or a distant area.
