Can someone check if this real?

[Rick Otto]

The patent is likely real, but just because a patent exists doesn't mean that the thing the patent is for actually exists or could even feasibly work.

That doesn't sound plausible. Issuing a patent that doesn't perform?
Sounds like gross negligence, dereliction of duty, etc., etc.
Why would anyone spend money to patent a fraud?

Either because they are a fraud them selves or because they are delusional.

People patent crazy stuff all the time. They have an idea that they think will work and they patent it before they even try to get it to work.

Patents range from the useful, to the stupid for being mundane, to the silly, to the completely impossible. There's a whole category of patents called "Prophetic" patents that are patents on predicted, untested results.

It's not so much that they're trying to patent a fraud...people who apply for those patents 100% feel their idea has a chance of being plausible for future applications.

A lot of times what these wealthy guys do is take a somewhat vague idea, and then apply for patents on a dozen or so specific variations of that idea. That way, if something does get invented, no matter who else comes up with the workable implementation and what components the implementation entails, they own the patents on it and thus are entitled to collect royalties.

Agreed, but they're not the same people, generally.
Did you look at the patent?
I would imagine if it was fake, it would've been taken down by now.

Here's another one you might should peek at:
Patent US20060145019 - Triangular spacecraft

Having a real patent, doesnt mean much.

Thank you...
"Weather modding is the act of intentionally manipulating or altering the weather. The most common form of weather modification is cloud seeding to increase rain or snow, usually for the purpose of increasing the local water supply.[1] Weather modification can also have the goal of preventing damaging weather, such as hail or hurricanes, from occurring; or of provoking damaging weather against the enemy, as a tactic of military or economic warfare like Operation Popeye, where clouds were seeded to prolong the monsoon season in Vietnam. Weather modification in warfare has been banned by the United Nations."

And yet people are quick to dismiss the idea as being anything really happening.
Fear of facing the horrific truth wins 9 out of ten times it seems.

That's one of how many possibilities?

The vast majority of approved patents, never see the light of day, in the real world.
