Hail Control Gun

Acetylene is injected in an explosion room and is mixed with oxygen and nitrogen present in the air. In the new gun, oxygen is injected under pressure in order to optimise the explosion force. Also nitrogen is brought in separately in the new gun because the air becomes too damp during storms. In this way, the explosion force is considerably waned. With the former gun, an explosion could be produced every 7 seconds. Thanks to the improved electrodes, it is now possible to generate an explosion every 4 to 5 seconds with the new gun.

The explosions are 30% more powerful now and this has a positive influence on the explosion efficiency.
Moreover, the storm will be under control a lot faster.

The new system works with 12V solar panels, a safe tension taking into account the lightening activity during a storm, and can be started up by means of a radio signal. In option, also a GSM control is available.

Also the electronics have been modernized and are incorporated now in a resin block in order to avoid oxidation and damp problems. The new gun works with 8 acetylene bottles in stead of 6 bottles in the previous model; so now a lower injection pressure can be adopted. Taking into account acetylene is a very explosive gas; this will certainly enhance the safety.

In the new gun, the ignition mechanism is built in as this was bare in the old model. Imagine: a bird flies by accident in the pipe on the electrodes; this was very often the reason of the device breakdown. This building-in now solves this problem. But the most important success factor is the attention and know-how of the hail control gun user. Intervening in time and being constantly alert is absolutely necessary in order to achieve good results.
