Ultra Hi Power atmospheric ionizer to protect against hail:

The forming of hail is definitely one of the characteristics of a storm.
The lightning is produced by clouds of this type "cumulonimbus", where
coexisting are violent ascending and descending winds within a center
composed of ice and water crystals. Lightning comes from an abrupt
rupture between the natural electrical field in which we live in and a
positive electrical charge that 'ives in the atmosphere. An
electrification process results in separating positive charges at ttie
top of the cloud and negative ones when in contact with cooler air as it
rises. This kind of cloud contains many cells of a multicellular type
which wraps them in a dynamic and pulsating movement, though the life
span is approximately 30 minutes. We can observe while a storm is
forming that the development of the first stormy cell is very fast. It
reaches about 3 km (2 mi.) to 5 km (3 mi.) in diameter dragging in it' s
turbulence the
hydrometeors (i.e. drops, water
droplets, ice crystals and
embrios). This is the developing stage.
In pursuit to it's rise in the cloud, the cell gets colder and colder by
the air and from positive temperatures to negative temperatures reaches
the isotherm O°C (32 °F). At this stage, we observe an important physic
phenomenon: supercooled water droplets. This cloud's characteristic
makes pure water droplets remain at a liquid state (without freezing) to
temperatures of -40 °c (-40 °F) to 55° C (67 °F). We find these
temperatures in the superior part of the cloud at altitudes varying
between 8000 m (25,000 ft) and
12000
m (40,000 ft); the beginning of the "tropopause". The molecular
structure of the supercooled water droplets remains very unstable I and
can be modified on contact with solid particles in suspension (i.e.
atmospheric pollution) to form the core of the hail stone.
Meaning that the ice crystals at the origin of the hail
will be big and very intense.
