Aerosols and Cloud Core Research

Cloud cores, so-called aerosols, are small suspended particles in the air. They form the basis for the formation of clouds. The water in the air condensates on these particles/cores. This accumulation of water becomes a drop and many drops generate a cloud.
With the help of a probe specifically developed by me for this purpose, the cloud cores are now to be examined more precisely.

Research under Space Conditions – The Probe in the Hovering Drop
On the earth cloud drops and large dust agglomerates fall down very quickly due to the existing gravity.
A planetary water accumulation with cloud core/aerosol cannot be adequately simulated and observed therefore.
The hovering status of a cloud drop would make it possible to detect and explore, by means of the probe, the cloud core inside the water accumulation.
The above-mentioned examinations / experiments can be realized within the scope of a parabolic flight just at the moment of temporarily generated weightlessness / microgravity.

                                                          
Fig.left: Under the influence of weightlessness a water drop is round – a universe of its own. Here with cloud core and probe inside the drop.
Fig.right: Even in case of oversaturation, water requires aerosol particles to be able to condensate. Whereas the cloud cores are typically locatef within the submicro-range, cloud drops have a diameter of several 10um. Due to this immense magnification water drops play an important role as atmospheric chemical reactors, a.o. for many anthropogenic trace gases.

ADM-Miniature Blue Box – Animation through Microgavitation in Real Time

The ADM*1 -Blue-Box*2 contains transparent animation chambers/3D slides for possible exchange. These glass frames contain material and choreographed miniature sceneries which deliberately move, open, hover and form/align themselves as a result of changing gravitation.

*1 ADM = Animation Durch Mikrogravitation (Animation Through Microgravitation)
designates the systematic opening of sceneries and situations under the influence of microgravitation in film and video demonstrations.
