Love it.
That's the fun stuff that's going on.
Yeah, so I would say it was probably something to the effect of um
Like 3030 2020.
Um, so 30% of all the money that we raise uh is dedicated to designing our own meteorological radar and atmospheric sensing platform.
Um so that platform is called Eden.
Um that is radar, LIDAR, uh long wave infrared, air cell probes, pressure temperature, humidity probes, and anemometers.
Um it's one of the more, if not the most.
Most sophisticated and low price point atmospheric sensing systems on the market in the world right now.
And the lead time is only five weeks instead of nine months.
Yeah.
So basically everything at Rainmaker, you know, I am grateful and happy to be making money and eventually returning capital for our pre seed investors, but like
Our thesis in initially was like, well, we're gonna use off the shelf radar, off the shelf drones, off the shelf chemicals, off the shelf weather models, and just be like a really good systems integrator.
And then we got punched in the face like a hundred times and decided we had to vertically integrate everything.
So tried to buy that radar cots, but there's one guy in Germany that makes them for fifty-one grand and they take nine months, if not twelve months, to get there.
Uh our system is about five times more cost uh cost effective, more affordable, and um the lead time is five weeks.
So we did that.
About thirty percent of the funds went to designing uh Elijah, our class one UAS um that's capable of anti-icing.
Um that was a big thing that about ten percent, uh, twenty percent was for novel research, so fancy probes so that we could detect the right conditions in cloud, validate our effects.
Uh and then the remainder went to um GA, you know, fighting Florida, fighting for bigger budgets, that sort of thing.
