Some models in addition utilize compressed air to atomize the water. Most though simply utilize fogging high pressure mist into freezing air. Collision in the air of two streams of water is another means of breaking the water into small dropletts which will freeze before hitting the ground, this actually requires less energy on the parts of the electric pumps ie lower pressure and higher volume of flow.

the water streams are directed at each other to reduce the water to small droplets. their smaller size means that they can freeze more rapidly than larger drops, the outside air temperature takes care of the rest
