Rainmaker used drones to seed clouds in Alaska, generating approximately 19 million gallons of new precipitation in just three hours. The operation utilized 19 silver iodide flares weighing under 400 grams total, covering about 250 square kilometers. Unusually, the company published full radar data, precipitation estimates, and methodology to prove the impact, claiming to be the first to provide verifiable precipitation evidence in Alaska. Future plans include operations in the Colorado River Basin and the Great Salt Lake.
