The article from the Electrical Experimenter (February 1919) describes a novel method for producing rainfall through the use of electricity and X-rays, as developed by Australian scientist John Graeme Balsillie. Here is a word-by-word deciphering of the main points:

“From time to time in the world’s history, there have been schemes promulgated for and attempts made at producing rain by artificial means under the control of man. One of the most promising of the recent schemes for producing rain-fall at any desired time, providing there happened to be aqueous particles contained in the atmosphere, is that due to an Australian scientist, John Graeme Balsillie. He has taken out patents on his system of producing rain-fall electrically, and one of his latest American patents is here pictured and described.”

This section introduces the concept of artificially inducing rainfall and highlights John Graeme Balsillie’s patented method as one of the most promising.

“The illustration shows how Mr. Balsillie proposes to send up a series of balloons of large box kites of sufficient size to carry an extra large X-ray tube, and also capable of supporting two thin electric wires of considerable length. As the inventor states in his patent, his invention “consists in electrical means for assisting and promoting under suitable meteorological conditions the formation of aqueous particles in the atmosphere and assisting in promoting the deposition of aqueous particles (rain-fall) from the atmosphere, and further to provide suitable apparatus for producing the necessary electrical conditions for that purpose.” This balloon may be towed aloft from a motor truck which can speed over the country to various points wherever it may be desired, and a portable gasoline engine and dynamo outfit on the truck may supply the necessary current for operating the powerful X-ray tube carried by the balloon, as shown in the illustration, and also for developing the high potential current, about 350,000 volts, which is employed for charging the metalized surface of balloons.”

This part explains the proposed method involving large balloons or kites carrying X-ray tubes and electric wires, which are to be towed by trucks equipped with portable generators. These setups would produce the necessary electrical conditions to assist in rain formation.

“As has been pointed out in previous articles on similar inventions in this Journal, and as substantiated by the opinions of several well-known scientists, including Dr. Henryk Arctowski, the Arctic explorer, of New York—the inventor informs us in his patent that his discovery is susceptible to practical use only when the cooling of aqueous vapor resulting from its expansion in elevated regions of the atmosphere and other natural influences brings the vapor above the saturation point, so that condensation becomes possible.”

This explains that the technology is effective under specific meteorological conditions where the cooling of aqueous vapor leads to condensation, as supported by other scientific opinions.

“It has been ascertained that ions, produced in this case by Mr. Balsillie by the powerful X-rays, which ionize the atmosphere in the vicinity of the balloon, may act as nuclei, upon which, under certain conditions, water vapor will condense. Aqueous particles composing clouds or mists are invariably electrified by natural causes, and their electrification is of one kind throughout the mass is uneven. Aqueous particles of approximately equal dimensions and potential will mutually repel each other, and a drop of rain cannot be formed. However, nuclei, upon which water condensation may take place, are generally of an opposite sign to the surrounding mist or cloud, and in the condition of mutual attraction, the coalesced particles will fall as rain.”

This segment details how the X-rays produce ions that act as nuclei for water vapor condensation, facilitating the formation of raindrops by reversing the natural repulsion between equally charged particles.

“The apparatus used for producing the high potential unidirectional current for charging the metalized balloon surface is produced by a transformer and interrupter supplied from a dynamo or other source on the ground. The secondary circuit of the induction coil is equipped with rectifying valves in order to rectify the current. Similar apparatus, also provided with vacuum tubes, is used for producing X-rays.”

Here, the article describes the technical setup involving transformers, interrupters, and vacuum tubes to generate the necessary high-voltage current and X-rays

Just as John Graeme Balsillie’s pioneering work in manipulating natural forces to produce rain has fascinated scientists and inventors, modern technology continues to evolve, bringing groundbreaking solutions to contemporary health challenges. One such innovation is the Scalar Plasma Projector.
