how much nano-material would it take to make the sky "flame"?
plus of course all dust is always a explosion hazard - as a mechanic I was taught this about metal filings from lathes and filing, grain elevator explosions are a well known hazard, as is flour dust!!
so according to your source the sky would "flame" if it was full of "bubbles" of oxygen and hydrogen (mixed together) that were less than 150nm in diameter.
How do you think that would be dispersed across the sky? How many tonnes are you thinking it would take to achieve whatever effect you envisage?
Qatari engineers recently announced a project to develop solar-powered artificial clouds to shade the 2022 World Cup from the country’s unforgiving summer sun. One remotely steerable cloud comes with a hefty price tag - $500,000 - just to cool the field by 10 degrees.

I think we're getting ready to find out. Is this something that we really need to know?

I'm not really talking about the flammability of cotton dust and linseed oil. More on the lines of the accidental spontaneous ignitions that could result from the wholesale use of little understood, lab created, nano particles and nano materials. So...if you have been able to learn and understand the hazards of dust then it should not be such a stretch for you to learn about and understand the hazards of nano particles and materials.

Really...really obtuse. Hopefully it's just an act.

Smart clouds. Remote controlled clouds. Artificial clouds. Invisible (until they flame up) clouds. I wasn't thinking of tons (is that the same as tonnes?)...more like the right circumstance like in the lab thing where they discovered that a nano particle of the same substance as a micro particle behaves differently by spontaneously exploding.

- item 1 in the gallery of the proposals
The clouds, which cost $500,000 each, are made of lightweight carbon and held aloft with helium. Solar-powered engines move them via remote control. According to developer Dr. Saud Ghani, head of the university's mechanical and industrial engineering department, a prototype cloud should be ready for testing by the end of the year.

The head of the mechanical and industrial engineering department, Saud Abdul Ghani, told Gulf News that the clouds would be made from a lightweight carbon structure that surrounds an enclosed blimp-like vehicle filled with helium gas.

While scientists are finding new ways to justify using chemtrails in our skies, a recent study shows that pollution trapped in thunderclouds is making climate change worse.
That pollution is composed of parasites, toxic metals, nano-engineered particles and other toxins. Samples have yielded the presence of:
• Aluminum
• Barium
• Nickel
• Cadmium
• Mold spores
• Synthetic nano-fibers
• Bacillus blood spores
• Radioactive thorium
The Obama administration’s science advisor, John Holdren, has come out publicly to say that he believes that geoengineering will assist the planet is stabilizing its weather with regard to global warming. Holdren sees geo-engineering as a perfectly viable way to cool the planet’s temperature.
He fully supports the process of releasing particles of barium, magnesium, aluminum, nano-fibers, bacillus blood spores and other chemicals to reflect sunlight away from the Earth.
One point government officials fail to mention is that using weather modification is the cause of the changes we see in the planet’s natural bio-spherical patterns.
Chemtrails, and the toxins they release into the atmosphere, are having a direct effect on warming Earth’s temperatures.

now how did all that get up there?
let no ignorant fool claim auto-exhaust
Huh. It seems that is talking about the storage of aluminum dust in humid environments. Seems that can be dangerous but not because it ignites. They put a pile of aluminum dust (100% concentration?) in a test container and heated it to 100ºF. That's not exactly like dispersing it in the air.
But critical mass is not required according to your statement - each small bubble will spontaneously combust regardless of what is around it. Can you explain how these clouds would form in the fist place, since they would apparently be exploding right off the get-go?

They are being released into the environment
They are?
Where and why?
I was describing the conditions of the test. The test apparatus was placed in an "oven" at 100º. Seems reasonable, warehouses (where things like this are stored so testing for safety under those conditions makes sense) can get pretty warm...and humid.
What do you mean storage and humid environments and heating to 100 degrees F?
Yes.
The tests conducted were on a specific size of nano only.
What do you mean "the size was within agglomerations"?
The size was also within agglomerations which were sonically thinned.
Yes. Two tests each with a different weight in the pile of particles.
The tests were performed on specific amounts.
There was no ignition in either test. If you look at the temperature trace the "anomaly" you are talking about was a slight transient change in the temperature which occurred at 24 hours. Do you think an increase of less than 1º after the temperature had dropped several degrees indicates ignition? Do you have a different definition of ignition than most people? To me it means something starts to burn, not that its temperature rises a bit.
There was no spontaneous ignition in one test because they decided to call the anomaly that occurred during that test a weather event although what kind of weather they were expecting in a barrel is a thought.

A geoengineering proposal, allegedly still on the table, would loft nano aluminum or barium or strontium or other substance (sulphur, salt water) into the atmosphere to alleviate global warming/ global cooling/ global change/ global disaster et.al.
A side effect of this activity is said to be white-out of the sky and more beautiful sunsets. The sky would be a paler blue and more reflective. Some have already noticed this effect.
Are you saying that even though all the articles point to this being a "proposed idea" , that it's already happened?
I'm saying that smart clouds that flame up in the sky aren't really very smart. Are they?
you can actually smell the desperation
Scientists Push for 'Solar Geoengineering'...with Nano Particles to Whiten Our Skies

Yes - it would be a good pointer to where and how such a programme might be accomplished. And if it is some monstrous amount like million's of tons (say) then you can look for a much more obvious programme than if it is only a few tons.
A novel material with world record breaking surface area and water adsorption abilities has been synthesized by researchers.
While ordered forms of magnesium carbonate, both with and without water in the structure, are abundant in nature, water-free disordered forms have been proven extremely difficult to make. In 1908, German researchers claimed that the material could indeed not be made in the same way as other disordered carbonates, by bubbling CO2 through an alcoholic suspension. Subsequent studies in 1926 and 1961 came to the same conclusion.
“A Thursday afternoon in 2011, we slightly changed the synthesis parameters of the earlier employed unsuccessful attempts, and by mistake left the material in the reaction chamber over the weekend. Back at work on Monday morning we discovered that a rigid gel had formed and after drying this gel we started to get excited”, says Johan Goméz de la Torre.
The most striking discovery was, however, not that they had produced a new material but it was instead the striking properties they found that this novel material possessed. It turned out that Upsalite had the highest surface area measured for an alkali earth metal carbonate; 800 square meters per gram.
“This places the new material in the exclusive class of porous, high surface area materials including mesoporous silica, zeolites, metal organic frameworks, and carbon nanotubes”, says Strømme.
Remote controlled clouds?? What does that even mean??
Whilst experimenting with nanospheres and perfluorodecalin, a liquid used in the production of synthetic blood, researchers at Germany's University of Ulm have stumbled across a phenomenon that could ultimately help remove ozone-harming chemicals from the atmosphere.
The scientists believe that this occurred because nanoscopic perfluorodecalin droplets became encapsulated by self-assembled polystyrene nanospheres.
Remember these bubbles SPONTANEOUSLY combust - you do not light them up - they do it all by themselves
but those aren't actually clouds - but they are just airships - cloth envelopes full of lifting gas - that will be large and flat and deployed to create shade.
Please define "smart particles" and how that term applies to the article you linked.
Here is a story about smart particles that, at the time, would save the ozone layer.
If they are in a high enough concentration and if they are bubbles containing hydrogen and oxygen. Please show us where it is proposed that bubbles containing hydrogen and oxygen would be useful for SRM and would be applied at such concentrations.

A carbon fiber composite structural framework, like bicycle frames. There is nothing that says or implies the use of nano sized particles.
They are not just airships. They are made of carbon composites. Nano
The head of the mechanical and industrial engineering department, Saud Abdul Ghani, told Gulf News that the clouds would be made from a lightweight carbon structure that surrounds an enclosed blimp-like vehicle filled with helium gas.
It's not really that complex if you take a bit of time to look at it.
This stuff is still over my head, hopefully not for long.
Then I guess there would be no room for discussion.
No one will ever convince me that our skies are not being plowed with reflective material,
