RAIN MAKING TECHNOLOGY WILLUNGA. SOUTH AUSTRALIA These triangular-shaped structures (pictured), which have been erected on a farm on the northern side of Range Rd West, Willunga Hill, are actually “rain-making” equipment. Sydney-based company Australian Rain Corporation (ARC) and scientists from Queensland University are testing the curious technology down south. The structures emit a dense field of negative ions into the atmosphere using high-voltage electricity, and are meant to create clouds that in turn produce rain. ARC is owned by Sydney multi-millionaire and nephew of Rupert Murdoch, Matt Handbury and wife Clare and the company attracted some notoriety last year when former Liberal Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull awarded ARC a $10 million grant to trial the rain-making technology A short video describing the project of trials of an ionisation rainfall enhancement technology called Atlant, by the Australian company Australian Rain Technologies, owned by Matt Handbury. Video includes respected scientists Professors Neville Fletcher, Ray Chambers and Economist Steve Beare, as well as company CTO Scott Peak.
