Trial to be done for two months: First indigenous anti-hailgun installed to protect apple from hail.

Indigenous anti-halgan prepared by scientists of IIT Mumbai and Horticulture, University Nauni is ready to be tried for the first time to protect apples from hail.

After testing at Kandaghat, indigenous Anti Hell Gun has been installed at Mandhol in Jubbal in Shimla district.
During the testing, for the next two months, scientists will assess how effective the anti-hail gun is in protecting the apple crop from hail.

During March to May, hailstorm causes heavy damage to fruits and vegetables in hilly areas. Apples, plums, pears and cherries are damaged by hailstorms worth crores. Gardeners are using anti hail nets to protect against hail, but the cost is very high. Putting them on and taking them off is also a hassle.
State Fruit Growers Association President Harish Chauhan said that indigenous anti-hail gun has been installed at Mandol in Jubbal for trial to save apple crop from hail. Demanded that the Horticulture Department should install anti-hail guns in all apple growing areas of the state.

Scientists have used missile and fighter aircraft running technology in indigenous anti-hail guns. On the lines of the gas turbine engine of an airplane and the rocket engine of a missile, the plus detonation engine has been used in this technology. In this, a mixture of LPG and air is fired with a mild explosion.
Due to the explosion, a shock wave (shock wave) is created and goes into the atmosphere and the process of hail formation slows down due to the increase in temperature inside the clouds.

Snow forms when tiny ice crystals in clouds stick together to become snowflakes. If enough crystals stick together, they’ll become heavy enough to fall to the ground. Snowflakes that descend through moist air that is slightly warmer than 0 °C will melt around the edges and stick together to produce big flakes.
