That is what has been used in one form or another for the last 60 years.

Its crystal structure is almost identical to ice.

So that plus a couple other material properties make the water freeze onto it very well.

We use so little of it, about 50 grams per 100,000 plus acres, that there's no accumulation, no measurable or consequential accumulation in the soil for humans or for farms or for ecosystems.

All that being said though, well actually the first point is,

Most cloud seeding operations in the past have used flares.

So they'll burn a flare that aerosolizes the silver iodide.

But in the flare, there's a bunch of other junk materials.

People get concerned about aluminum or stuff like that in the flares.

So we don't use that because we don't want any additional additives beyond what is explicitly and exclusively for rainmaking.

So our aerosol dispersion system just uses silver iodide.

Something that we're working on right now is totally organic material found in American soil that is biodegradable, that is more effective and actually costs less per gram than silver iodide.

We have a bunch of lab testing to do before we roll that out to the field.

And then we need to do all the regulatory permissions with the EPA and otherwise.

But silver iodide is what we've used for the last seven months.

When do you think you'll, when do you think you'll introduce the other agent?

We'll start just with precipitation enhancement, making it rain and snow more, right?

First of all, it's going to prevent, it already is preventing farms from running dry, right?

So farms that need more water, we can produce more water for.

All of the aquifers, I said at the very beginning of our discussion, in the American West are running out.
