Perpetual motion cannot exist. However, complete understanding of the physics of microburst (wet and dry) might lead to the engineering capacity of creating artificial rain. The first human rainmaker will become an instant billionaire, especially in the arid continental regions of the world where rain drops hardly ever touch the parched ground. In some places of the United States, many areas in the largest state of Texas are very good examples.
Unfortunately, researches on microburst indicate that this atmospheric anomaly has similar characteristics as tornadoes. Its life cycle is composed of three stages: downburst, outburst, and the cushion stages. Moreover, during outburst, it is always associated with strong wind shear that can topple fully grown trees within 2 kilometers radius. All things considered, the two key engineering challenges are to prevent the occurrence of the second stage of outburst and to prevent or minimize the acceleration of precipitations of the first stage of downburst. Furthermore, utilizing the reversible physics of virga occurring in dryer microburst can also help increase the amount of precipitations.
