clouds are highly inefficient precipitators‚ retaining more than 90 percent of their moisture. By cloud seeding‚ the precipitation efficiency can be greatly improved. Generally‚ silver iodide is used in ground generators to produce artificial ice nuclei that form ice crystals. Spreading the nuclei via aircraft is also common. These crystals attract moisture from the surrounding air forming droplets that grow large enough to fall to the ground as snow. Some projects using ground-based silver iodide generators

A lot of crystals were formed in the round bottom flask. The crystals were accidently dropped into the ice cold water forming a milky white substance‚ but this did not harm or contaminate the ending results.
