    Abstract: This invention consists of a unique apparatus and system consisting of devices, materials and methods specially engineered to perform high precision and smart cloud seeding by the dispersion of micro and nanoparticles of sodium chloride and similar chemistry compounds at specific locations with the purpose of rain induction and related applications. A safe and precise unmanned aerial vehicle UAV device instrumented with portable thermometer, hygrometer, barometer, anemometer and 3D visual register will scrutinize these internal cloud climate parameters. By means of these real time measurements and communications, a meteorological ground operating team is enabled to perform the data acquisition and processing from the clouds. This device and system be enabled to select the locations suitable for rain induction and perform on site accurate particulate seeding dispersion from a device mounted on the same UAV within the eligible clouds. Typical applications of this apparatus and system besides rain induction are fog condensation for airports, highways and other environments where visibility impairment may have critical consequences. This invention may also provide a valuable tool to provide solutions to control and mitigate snow, sleet and hail effects.

    Abstract: A system for converting propelling thrust to produce a continuous flow is provided. The system can be integrated and/or retrofitted to the body of an aircraft. The system includes a pressure-lowering device and a sample chamber. The pressure-lowering device is used produce a low-pressure, continuous flow from a high-velocity propelling thrust source. Moreover, the pressure-lowering device is a passive flow generator that does not require a power source in order to produce a continuous flow from a propelling thrust. The design of the pressure-lowering device produces a flow rate that is independent of the aircraft motion. The sample chamber is used to measure and analyze ambient gases which are pulled through the sample chamber by the pressure-lowering device, as a result of the high-velocity air stream produced by the propelling thrust source.
