Description

The invention relates to the field of meteorology and may find application in regional centers of the Ministry of Emergency Situations for changing the natural air circulation under anticyclone weather conditions.

Two main methods for changing weather conditions are known:

- dispersion in the clouds of chemical reagents from aircraft, or their firing with precision weapons;

- The electrical method of generating into the atmosphere ions of a corona electrical discharge.

The industrial installation Atlant is known, which implements the electric method of active influence on meteorological processes [see Internet, http://come.to/atlant_tu.] - analogue. The installation consists of a radiating system, a high-voltage power supply, and instrumentation. The radiating system consists of a set of separate modules, electrically connected to each other at a distance of 10 m from each other, in the form of corona electrodes isolated from the earth, creating an upward air flow that violates the natural dynamics of air exchange and the dynamic equilibrium of water vapor in the adjacent air layer.

The disadvantage of the analogue is the low productivity of the modules (ion concentration below critical), insufficient for any significant impact on weather conditions.

The well-known "Method of exposure to atmospheric formations", Patent RU No. 2098942, A.01.G, 15/00, 1997 - the closest analogue. The closest analogue method involves creating a vertical convective traction by ionizing the air and the zone feeding this traction along the periphery of the formed vertical zone also by means of a group of installations emitting ions of opposite sign. The sum of the installation currents is approximately equal to the current from the group of the opposite sign.

The disadvantage of the closest analogue are:

- fallacy of the theoretical concept of the formation of an upward convective flow;

- simultaneous generation of ions of the opposite sign leads to their mutual neutralization in the upward flow, which reduces convective traction.

The problem solved by the claimed device is to increase the power and turbulence of the upward convective ion flux by increasing the size of the active generation zone, the corona current and the mode of switching the polarity of the supply of corona electrodes, sufficient for the formation of jet flow in the troposphere.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the device for correcting weather conditions is made in the form of a geometric umbrella of ten radial wires-corona electrodes creating an antenna field 100 m long each, suspended from a central support mast of composite elbows of a polymer composite material 30 m high with a mount wires at the top through high-voltage insulators with a protective sheath of silicone rubber, insulating radial wires from the central mast and ten auxiliary masts of the same 10 m high material of a suspension of radial wires electrically connected around the circumference of an umbrella, isolated from the masts by rod high-voltage insulators, one of the masts contains a fastener for attaching corona electrodes from a high-voltage voltage source, in a controlled mode of changing the polarity of the supply voltage by means of a high-voltage switch, and the grounding of the supply source, made of single pile screw pipes, buried in the ground and connected in parallel Umbrella beam pattern geometry.

The invention is illustrated by drawings, where:

The device contains an antenna field 1, in the form of a geometric umbrella of ten radial wires-corona electrodes 2, suspended on a central support mast 3 of composite material, with a node 4 for attaching wires on top through high-voltage insulators 5, insulating radial wires 2 from the central mast 3, and ten auxiliary masts 6, strung out by two-tier guy wires 7 from a galvanized cable in a polymer sheath 8, for suspension of radial wires 2, electrically connected along the perimeter of the circumference of the “umbrella” of the cor with casing electrodes 9, isolated from the auxiliary masts with rod insulators 10, a node 11 for fastening the umbrella wire from the power source 12 through the switch 13 of the polarity of the supply voltage of the umbrella and the ground electrode of the second pole of the supply source, made of single pile screw pipes 14 buried in the ground and connected according to a parallel beam diagram of the geometry of the umbrella, profile pallets 15 made of polymer composite material, for the operational foundationless installation of the mast bases on them.

The technical essence of the invention is as follows.

The critical factors determining the initiation of avalanche processes in the atmosphere are the dimensions of the active zone of the generated ions, the ion flux power and its temperature gradient. The geometric area of the active zone of the radiation of the claimed device is more than 3 hectares. In order for the generated ions to be effectively pushed out of the generation zone into the upper hemisphere by an electrostatic field, an umbrella design of emitters is used that is electrically closed around the perimeter of the hemisphere. In order to form a powerful ascending convective flow creating jet flows in the troposphere, the device additionally implements:

- an increase in the internal energy of the molecules of the upward flow ΔE, which is proportional to the number (N) of carriers: ΔE≈N × 3/2 kT; by increasing the corona current to 20 ... 30 µA;

- increased voltage on the corona electrodes [50 ... 100 kV] due to the use of stable dielectric insulators from durable composite materials;

- constructive choice of the thickness and length of the corona electrodes: ⌀0.3 ... 0.4 mm, with a total length of ≈1628 m, providing an active power of about 20 kW;

- increase turbulence of the upward flow by switching the polarity of the supply voltage of the emitters.

The physical phenomenon of hydration of primary ions, which consists in the attachment of dipole water molecules (from water vapor of air) to ions carrying an electric charge, is established. The process of hydration and subsequent coagulation is accompanied by the release of energy (latent heat of evaporation), which creates a convective flow in the troposphere [see, for example, N. Laverov et al. “Using the thermal effect for remote diagnosis of radioactive contamination of the environment”, article in the journal “Geophysics”, Reports of the Academy of Sciences, vol. 441, No. 2, pp. 1-4, 2011]

Upon condensation of water vapor on ions (clusters), the latent heat of evaporation is released, of the order of ~ 564 cal / g. One cubic meter of air contains (Fig. 3) about one mole of water (> 18 g). Considering the ion charge to be known (q = -1.6 · 10 ^-19 kul), at a corona current (Fig. 4) of 20 μA, about 10 ¹⁷ carriers are generated every second into the space under the umbrella dome. If at least one water molecule joins each ion in the process of coagulation, then hidden heat of the order of several Kcal will be released in the space under the dome of the umbrella, which creates a convective flow. Since the latent heat of evaporation is released on ions of any sign, the mode of switching the power supply of the source increases the turbulence of the upward flow. The optimal switching mode is determined experimentally during the field tests of the device.

All elements are made on the existing technical basis.

New, in comparison with the known analogues, are a high-voltage switch for supply polarity, small-sized high-voltage insulators with a silicone coating, composite material for the manufacture of support masts, and a mobile earthing switch ..

High-voltage relay grounding switch - a serial model of type B1007 (product line with voltage up to 450 kV) from ROSS ENGINEERING CORPORATION (Campbell, California) [see Internet http://www.ntnk.ru/rosindex.shtml]

Composite polymeric material of support masts, (figa, 2b), small-sized insulators (fig.2g) - serial production of the ApATek Scientific-Production Enterprise [see Internet, http://www.apatech.ru, structural profiles, metal composite plates]

The mobile earthing switch is made on screw pile elements SVS-57/1650 [see Internet, website http://www.fundex.su/tehnologiya-vintovyh-sv] The screw pile element is a metal pipe with a specially configured blade welded on one side (Fig. 2d). On the opposite side of the pipe, a head is welded to connect the ground wire. Screw piles can be quickly screwed into the soil and twisted out of it.

The efficiency of the device is achieved by implementing critical parameters of the ion flux at which avalanche-like processes in the atmosphere are observed.
