Rain making system
BACKGROUND 
     This invention relates to rain making methods, devices and system. More particularly it relates to a system of rain making by atmospheric moisture condensation. 
     THE PROBLEM 
     The problem with prior art rain making systems is that they are cumbersome and expensive. They require too many resources and are not practical in desert areas. 
     Following are some of the typical uses of the rain making system of this invention: 
     a) Watering of small backyard gardens. 
     b) Gardening in desert areas. 
     c) Collection of atmospheric moisture as water for other uses. 
     d) Beautification of land. 
     e) Gardening in unusual places eg. Roof top, Hanging pots condominiums and the like unusual places open to atmosphere. 
     f) Rejuvenating eroded soils with gentle rain where the top soil has been washed away by downpours. 
     SUMMARY 
     An embodiment of this invention comprises a plurality of mono-filaments as condensation collectors. In the preferred embodiment the inventor used a long horizontal cord anchored on two poles. Plurality of filaments were connected to hang vertically from this horizontal filament line on either side. The cord was high enough to clear the filaments off the ground. 
     PRIOR ART 
     A preliminary prior art search was conducted and furthermore the inventor is intimately familiar with the problem and the prior art. The following U.S. patents are typical examples of the prior art attempting to solve the problem. 
     These utility patents are arranged in reverse chronological order for ready reference of the reader. Furthermore the applicant reserves the right to argue relevance of these patents to applicant&#39;s invention.

     BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING 
     The objects, features and advantages of the present invention and its application will be more readily appreciated when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which: 
     a) FIG. 1 is an isometric perspective view of the condensate collector rain making apparatus of this invention. 
     b) FIG. 2 is a closeup view of a small section of FIG. 1. 
    
    
     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     As shown in the drawings wherein like numerals represent like parts throughout the several views, there is generally disclosed a line, cord, rope, cable 20 anchored on a pair of poles 10. From the cord 20 hang plurality of filaments 30 on either side of said filament 20, preferably an equal length approximately one meter and only a few centimeters apart. In the preferred embodiment the inventor used monofilament made of plastic such as fishing line to shed condensate rapidly without absorbing any moisture. 
     The monofilament 30 may be sewn through the line 20 with or without being tied to the line. In the preferred embodiment the inventor used slip knots at each end of cord, similar to what are known as &#34;hangman&#39;s nooses&#34; to anchor the cord to the poles, or tree or like support members. This allows the ends of cord to be positioned quickly onto a vertical stake, pole tree or other support member and similarly can be loosened rapidly for removal. The inventor used the cord for the horizontal member because mono-filaments can be easily threaded through a cord but not through another filament. 
     A water channel under the entire path of the line and the filaments may be constructed so that the water can be transported to where it is needed the most. 
     THEORY OF OPERATION 
     The condensate collector only works when there are no clouds to obstruct the heat radiation of the earth into outer space. The cooling of the earth is accompanied by similar cooling of the collecting filaments 30, thus causing said collectors to act as condensate trap as attractors. The atmospheric moisture at dew point temperature forms water drops on the collectors. 
     The process once initiated proceeds apace as long as there is air containing moisture and the air remains warmer than the ground over which it flows. Very little air movement is required to make the collector work at removing moisture from the air. 
     INSTALLATION &amp; USE 
     The installation and use of this invention is intuitive. A network of vertical filaments weaved or sewn through a horizontal cord is installed over the area where water is needed. Each collector element is cut off at desired length so that the dripping condensate may fall off freely. 
     The inventor caveats that the collecting monofilament are not to be looped or one running into another as unbroken line. Filaments are individual straight pieces. As many as necessary may be installed in a network. Similarly supporting lines may also be as long as desired. The anchoring means can be poles or other equivalent suitable anchors. Supporting lines may themselves act as condensate collectors. 
     The inventor further recommends that the end supports for anchors should be such that the line, as it droops in a catenary, keeps the collectors sufficiently far off the ground in the center under all reasonable disturbances such as breezes, birds perching on the line etc. 
     As the dew 32 begins to build up on filaments 30, it is shed immediately off the end of the mono-filaments, due to its own weight and the non-absorbency of the filaments. The falling droplets 40 fall as water 50 on the ground. This water may be used on the ground over a garden for example or it may be collected and channeled. 
     The inventor has given a non-limiting description of the concept. Many changes may be made to this design without deviating from the spirit of the concept of this invention. Examples of such contemplated variations include the following. 
     a) The invention may be combined or integrated with other complementary or related uses. 
     b) The shape and size of the network of filaments may be varied. 
     c) A different anchoring means or method may be employed. 
     d) A different material may be used. 
     e) Color, advertising, coupons and other promotional features may be added to its packaging. 
     f) A DIY (Do It Yourself) kit may be derived from this invention. 
     Other changes such as aesthetic and substitution of newer materials as they become available which substantially perform the same function in substantially the same way with substantially the same result without deviating from the spirit of this invention may be made.
