DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0011] The technical contents of this disclosure will become apparent with the detailed description of embodiments accompanied with the illustration of related drawings as follows. It is intended that the embodiments and drawings disclosed herein are to be considered illustrative rather than restrictive.

[0012] With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 for a mobile hydrogen-oxygen burner rainmaking device of this disclosure, the mobile hydrogen-oxygen burner rainmaking device includes a container (such as an intermodal container or a shipping container) 10, two liquid storage barrels 20, a combustion chamber 30 and an igniter 40.

[0013] In this embodiment, the container 10 is a standard shipping container. This disclosure is not limited to such arrangement only, and designers may design the container 10 with any shape and size according to actual needs, as far as the container achieves the convenient loading and transporting effects. In other words, the shape and size of the container 10 of this disclosure are not limitation to the disclosure. The container 10 has an accommodating space 11 and a gas pipe 12 communicating with the accommodating space 11, and the container 10 has the advantages of easy access, firm structure, convenient transportation, etc.

[0014] The two liquid storage barrels 20 are disposed in the accommodating space 11, and each liquid storage barrel 20 is connected to at least one nozzle 21. In this embodiment, each liquid storage barrel 20 has one nozzle 21, but this disclosure is not limited to such arrangement only. For example, each liquid storage barrel 20 may have a plurality of nozzles 21, and designers may make adjustments according to different requirements. One of the liquid storage barrels 20 is filled with liquid hydrogen A, and the other liquid storage barrel 20 is filled with liquid oxygen B. Comparing with gaseous hydrogen and gaseous oxygen, more liquid hydrogen A and liquid oxygen B may be filled into each liquid storage barrel 20, and the liquid hydrogen A and liquid oxygen B are safer than the gaseous hydrogen and gaseous oxygen. It is noteworthy that the use of liquid hydrogen A and liquid oxygen B is only one embodiment, and high-pressure hydrogen and high-pressure oxygen may be used in other embodiments. The disclosure is not limited to liquid hydrogen A and liquid oxygen B.

[0015] In this embodiment, the combustion chamber 30 is disposed in the accommodating space 11 and between the two liquid storage barrels 20. The combustion chamber 30 has an opening 31 formed at the top of the combustion chamber 30, and each nozzle 21 penetrates into the combustion chamber 30 and is provided for spraying the liquid hydrogen A and the liquid oxygen B in the mist form contained separately in each liquid storage barrel 20 into the combustion chamber 30. The igniter 40 is installed inside the combustion chamber 30. In this embodiment, the igniter 40 is installed on the bottom of the combustion chamber 30.

[0016] In some embodiments, the mobile hydrogen-oxygen burner rainmaking device further includes two pumps 50 and two control valves 60. The quantity of the pumps 50 and the control valves 60 is corresponding to the quantity of the liquid storage barrels 20, and thus designers may adjust the quantity according to different requirements, and this disclosure has no specific limitation to the quantity. Two ends of each pump 50 communicate with the liquid storage barrel 20 and the nozzle 21 respectively. Each control valve 60 is disposed between the liquid storage barrel 20 and the pump 50, and is provided for controlling the communication and closure between each liquid storage barrel and each pump. In this way, each pump 50 may effectively pump the liquid hydrogen A and liquid oxygen B from the liquid storage barrels 20, and then spray them into the combustion chamber 30 through each nozzle 21.

[0017] With reference to FIG. 2 for a using status of this disclosure, a container truck (not shown in the figures) is provided to transport the container 10 to an appropriate location for use, and each nozzle 21 sprays the liquid hydrogen A and liquid oxygen B in a mist form into the combustion chamber 30 for mixing, and then the igniter 40 ignites for combustion, so as to form a high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor C which enters into the rocket nozzle 32 from the opening 31 and is sprayed out from the combustion chamber 30, and then the high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor C is discharged along the gas pipe 12 to the sky. In this way, the low-temperature water vapor in the high-altitude clouds may collide with the high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor C, and the cold and heat exchanging are generated by temperature difference to form larger raindrops. The raindrops attract surrounding water vapor to increase their own volume and weight to form rainfall when the weight is greater than the buoyance, and release latent heat to heat up the surrounding air and increase the upward convection force, so as to form a chain reaction until all the nearby cumulonimbus clouds are turned into rainwater. Moreover, each liquid storage barrel 20 may supply liquid hydrogen A and liquid oxygen B for mixing and combustion for a long time, thereby continuously producing the high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor C to the sky.

[0018] Further, the position of the opening 31 at the top of the combustion chamber 30 is extended and formed with a rocket nozzle 32. The rocket nozzle 32 is composed of a curved convergent structure 321 and a conical divergent structure 322 connected to the curved convergent structure 321, and the conical divergent structure 322 is tapered along a direction from the gas pipe 12 to the curved convergent structure 321. The surface of the curved convergent structure 321 and the surface of the conical divergent structure 322 are formed smoothly, so that the high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor C formed by the combustion in the combustion chamber 30 may be accelerated to the supersonic speed through the rocket nozzle 32 and then sprayed out toward the gas pipe 12, and then discharged along the gas pipe 12 into the sky.

[0019] With reference to FIG. 3 for another embodiment of this disclosure, the main difference of this embodiment with the previous embodiment is that the combustion chamber 30 is directly connected to the gas pipe 12, and a sectional width s1 of the combustion chamber 30 is greater than the sectional width s2 of the gas pipe 12, such that the high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor C produced by the combustion is discharged from the larger combustion chamber 30 into the smaller gas pipe 12, so as to achieve further acceleration. As a result, the high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor C may be discharged upwardly along the gas pipe 12 to the sky.

[0020] In summation of the description above, this disclosure can surely achieve the expected objectives and overcome the drawbacks of the prior art. While this disclosure has been described by means of specific embodiments, numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure set forth in the claims.
