Invention idea. Rip this apart and tell me why I'm wrong.
Ok, here's the idea - it's a desalination plant like the windtrap from Dune.
You make a mega structure like the windtrap from Dune 2000 (pictured). You then coat the outside of the shell with solar panels and the inside with thermoelectric strips that make it colder on the inside. So after a while there should be a cloud within this several story building.
Then what you do is you put a Tesla coil on the inside so that when it goes off the lightning makes it rain. It turns out that lightning inside clouds can make it rain! Which might work even on smaller clouds with less moisture content.
You'd probably have to make it quite large to have the necessary efficiency gains. And I don't know if this would work all the time as you might just end up sucking all the moisture out of the air around the windtrap unless there was significant amounts of wind.
Thoughts?

Another question I have is whether it's possible to use satellites with space lasers to make thunderclouds rain. I believe with a sufficient number of small satellites (like Elon musk has) it should be possible and is probably already being done. They use lasers for satellite to satellite communication, so I take it he's already using them for weather control. The only worry I have is that they may be boiling the ocean, which would dramatically elevate the salt content of the sea, as opposed to just targetting cloud formations that are naturally occuring. Elevated salt content would accelerate coral bleaching unless there were other mitigating effects which would dramatically complicate matters.

No anon you need more energy which humans don't have access too.
Take desalination in Saudi Arabia. They use 10% of the energy they extract just on desalination alone.
Solar panels do not provide enough energy.
Also most of this is unrealistic schizo babble learn physics. Before coming up with ideas that belong in a science fiction book

Why though? It would seem possible to construct a windtrap. How far off are the energy requirements?

Another possibility instead of a Tesla coil is a grid mesh not unlike one of those fly trap tennis rackets except the grids are several meters apart. You wouldn't have the grid in all the time but would just turn it on every few minutes and see if any sparks caused sudden precipitation events. It would seem theoretically possible, I just don't know if it would be efficient or at what size you make enough water to justify the power requirements.

*Grid on all the time
