In my country (especially the county where I live) they launch anti-hail rockets. They are silver iodine filled rockets that actually do something and not just create sound waves. They do this to protect their crops and most importantly, the symbol of the county, the vines, which are quite vulnerable to hail
@@tloutfitters read again. I said "in my countRy (especially the counTy where I live)". That means it is usual in the Country, but especially usual in the region where I live.
You're a real simple kinda folk aren't ya?! Maybe actually look into the science behind what you are ignorantly mocking. -Or don't. I don't have to be around you so i don't care. Consider it a hand up on the rock you live under. 😬
A quick google says that producers say that the max distance the wave can travel is 500m........and yet they tell you to already have it going at max volume long before the storm is even there to "work" despite the fact they'd be doing nothing if that's their max distance. Definitely sounds like bs. But as you observed definitely looks like it could have potentially effective other uses.
@@Goldenkitten1 500m XD the hail in the thunderstorms form at thousands of m up in the air. Even if it could reach higher there would be no effect on the hail formation whatsoever! Have these people no clue about the turbulent conditions inside a thunderstorm? This little vortex would be eaten like a water pistol squirting in the niagara falls. This is hocus pocus nonsense. I won't say they are stupid, just very ignorant and gullible
The farmers around my house used them for 20 years and I only got pea sized hail at the house. Last year with the population growth and the noise complaints the hail cannons where removed. I now have had tennis ball size hail at my house. I think that they work. Had large hail before the cannons and I now have it again after the removal of them.

did you take the day off from school when they explained that correlation is not causation, or did you just get dumber as you got fatter?
Wouldn't the sonic booms from lightning which almost always accompanies hail, be vastly louder and more effective then a little machine like this on the ground could ever hope to do? And even with all that lightning and all those booms, we still get hail. I don't see why this would work? Fun device though! Would be great on 4th of july for the sound.
@@euqat But I doubt that the air vortex even reaches the clouds, they're way to high and the cannon is just "spectacular" on short ranges up to about 100 yards or so.

Admit it @gamebro ...you watched this video right after and copied what they said. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2M-vxb_Bt3k.html
@ Nope, never seen those guys before. That's weird you went there though. I think what I asked is what a lot of people would say? Is that not reasonable? I haven't followed this tech story at all in the past 2 years, how's it going these days? It would be great if it worked. I am too busy these days to follow sci news like I used to.
It's possible. It's also possible that the thunder shockwave is coming from a different direction and thus doesn't have the same effect. This is one of those science experiments that's impossible to perform and replicate. If he's had success over the past 19 years at a fraction of the cost... More power to him.
LISA: "I can claim that this rock keeps tigers away" HOMER: "It doesn't work, it's just a stupid rock" LISA: "But I don't see any tigers around here do you?" HOMER:" Lisa, I want to buy that rock!"
Yeah nah... he has a good string of luck. It would stand that the shockwaves from the lightning in a thunderstorm are far more powerful, if they are not causing a disruption to the formation of hail what noticeable effect would this cannon have?
from what I've read about them they are like puffs of an f4 tornado. It's a ring of air the sounds like a jet breaking the sound barrier. It's a really strong puff of wind I guess..

@@GlitchMcGuffin from 'what you read'? where? What did you read? Link to it so we can read it too.
It could be seeding the storm and minimising the mosture need for large hail. That vortex is traveling right up and is likely carrying hardocarbon particules up with it.
Yes, it's incredulous how people still use these devices, it was literally from the late 19th century. Thunder is a much more powerful sonic wave and is usually found in the same storms that generate hail, yet it never seems to disturb the growth of hailstones.

if you mouth breathers bothered to look it up, you'd quickly discover it's fake. I mean, they exist but do not produce the results claimed... they don't do anything but make a loud noise.
In what possible way does the theory behind it make sense??? Hail is formed when little nuggets of ice are thrown up and down inside an extremely turbulent cloud. There are updrafts and downdrafts so strong that that they would break an aircraft apart There are NO aircraft certified for the level of turbulence in these clouds. Lifting chunks of ice is nothing to these air currents inside the cloud. The hail rises and falls while collecting more water ever growing in size and at some point it's finally ejected as hail, it might not even be because they are too heavy but because they get ejected sideways out of the current because of wind shear. Hail often falls in front of the cloud under the "anvil" part. So... what effect could this tiny little vortex with the energy of a few drops of gas for each blast have on these enormous air currents going up and down in the cloud producing the hail? absolutely 0! It's like throwing a paper airplane on a freight train, it does nothing!!! It doesn't interrupt the process inside the thunderstorm in any way at all!!! It's a scam! But you are correct, a much bigger cannon, something like an atomic bomb could have the desirable effect.
That sounds like a challenge, Mr. Weatherman. Lets see if that cloud can take blasts from a hail cannon 300ft in diameter. Nukes are also man made as are rain seeding rockets and airplanes. Stupid bugman.
Make sense. You can move Water with Speakers or Sub Woofers. So why not use High Sound to break Ice Particles before it gets too big? Sound Pretty Logic to me, no punt intended! LOL

Haha these be the same people saying the govt is controlling the weather and there’s no such thing as global warming and here they are with “hail cannons”.
listen to these meteorologists who cant predict the weather half the time give expert opinions and their followers who post stupid comments for weather men that cant presict the weather half the time..lmfao
Let's talk about how you're a fucking idiot believing that they just dump acetylene into the atmosphere rather than burning it with air to create the blasts.
hey smart guy , you know he isn't just releasing acetylene into the atmosphere to create these blasts, he's combusting it to create carbon dioxide shockwaves with water as a byproduct of the combustion
Earth's climate has been warming and cooling naturally for thousands of years....so called man made warming is a tactic to raise taxes to make the rich richer.
