Preempting Hailstone Formation To Protect Cars
Makarand writes "Nissan has become the first automaker in the United States to start using
a device that suppresses hail formation to protect its fleet of new vehicles
from hailstorm damage. The device is a cannon capable of shooting sonic waves upto
50,000 feet in the air to keep hailstones from forming. The
device comes with its own weather radar and activates when it detects
conditions favorable for hail formation. The device can provide
hailstorm protection in an area with one-mile radius by firing
sonic waves every five seconds."
>I'd personally like to thank Nissan for coming up with yet another way to fck up the natural processes on this planet.
Natural, like a bearded pope, or pedophilia?
Sorry to break it to you, but daily we change natural processes on this planet. Chaging hail to snow or water sounds like a great idea to me.
