Cloud busters are devices that can break up clouds and disperse them using various techniques. Synonyms for the term include weather changers, precipitation inhibitors, and cloud dissolvers. Other terms used to describe similar devices include cloud seeders, rainmakers, and hail modifiers. The use of cloud busters can be controversial, with some claiming that they are ineffective or even harmful to the environment. However, proponents argue that cloud busters can help to mitigate drought and reduce the damage caused by severe weather events. Regardless of the terminology used, the ability to control the weather remains a topic of fascination and debate among scientists and the general public alike.
