Hurricanes - Bad, Tropical Storms, Good

The aim is to cut the temperature of the ocean by 1-2 grades during the construct up of whirling weather condition condition - when swirling weather acquires 'x' size in diameter, we have got a tropical violent storm and if not subdued, a hurricane.

One solution includes creating covers that are [perhaps] 100 paces broad and 300 paces long. Within these covers [water sealed], we have got a liquid. This liquid is fed and temperature controlled by a freon-type refrigerant machine. This cover is connected on all sides to a model like that of a car's trailer, except our framework includes a surface of the H2O portion and a subterranean portion - it looks like an uneven box kite.

The less portion [of the dawdler design/box kite] is about 50 feet below the surface of the water, while the upper portion of our framework drifts on the surface.

This frame-trailer/box kite designing is towed by a boat. We will have got 12 of these [frame trailer] combinations, each pulled by a different boat. One towage boat will be the headquarters, guiding the path and temperature via computer. The computing machine operator will place where the strongest commotions of air are forming, thus, where the ships will tow their cover trailers. In one twenty-four hours of towing, 100s of square statute miles of ocean H2O go temperature reduced at both the surface and at 50 ft Depth.

The benefit, no more than hurricanes!

Stopping Hurricanes-Revisited

by Win Wenger, Ph.D.

"There are now three theoretical accounts for how to halt a hurricane, based upon spreading or mixing colder Waters from below over the top of the warmer Waters upon which such as violent storms subsist.

The first of these three ideas, in some detail, is on our website at Hurricane Stopper.

The three thoughts in short are:

Pump air down into the colder layers and allow it bubble up to the surface, carrying some of the ice chest Waters with it. Pump air down as with #1 but have got it bubble up within the confines of a tubing until close the surface, letting a higher part of the ice chest Waters so moved range and premix with the topmost layers. Simply pump ice chest Waters up through tubings and allow them distribute out on top of the surface. This thought is by another member of our group, who also had in head linking it to the thought of powering the system by the temperature differences between the warm and cold layers. The pumps or air pumps could be powered from the natural gas so abundant in the Gulf that much of it is wasted, or from the Diesels of boats or the oil chopine in the western Gulf, or conventionally gasoline-powered while waiting for the more than elegant solution of Oceanic thermic differences.

If the oil companies could see it in their involvements to make so, a airplane pilot undertaking could be launched, distributing air pumps and/or pumps and the appropriate hosing to the oil chopine in the western Gulf, to see if even that small spot of intercession could strike hard 15-20 miles per hour off the sustained wind velocity of such as violent violent storms as came across the country concerned, thereby justifying the remainder of the set-up and full protection from these storms. Oil companies, looking at the terms spikes resulting from some of their rigs getting smashed, mightiness not see the bar of these violent storms as so unequivocally in their involvements as we might, but a trade off might be obtained vis-a-vis boring rights in other parts of the Gulf now barred by legislation.

Even the strongest environmentalists, looking at the toxic gumbo soil from Katrina, might see such as as a conditional trade as deserving it to avoid another such immense abuse to the environment. Before the pilot, it'd be utile and no uncertainty prudent to see which of the above three versions of the cooler-waters innovation would be the more than economical manner of fillet hurricanes, economic systems being very of import given the scale of measurement of the projected project. Factored into such as studies, however, should be the costs and benefits of developing the complemental undertaking described in the same article, for Oceanic fish-farming, and for the complemental procedure we mention to as Beachbuilder, which can use air bubbles in a somewhat different manner and which can be studied and undertaken even by individual waterfront place owners.

I no longer "own" even the original word form of the invention, having cast of characters it into public sphere through my website at Hurricane Stopper, together with respective closely related inventions. Anyone who wishes to tin take this and tally with it and make so with my blessing. He doesn't necessitate my permission nor makes he have got to pay me a reddish cent for it.

Part of my ground for doing so at the clip was what I perceived as the urgency of forestalling such as losings of human life and of place as we are seeing now with Rita and just now saw with Katrina. How many more than old age make people have got to travel through what the evacuees and victims are going through now? How necessary and inevitable is it, really, that they make so? Was, and is, my sense of urgency on such as as substances misplaced?

Wouldn't it be neat if the people who do the determinations on such substances were also the people who had to dwell with the effects of their decisions? Could that conceivably do a difference in what was decided?

I'm very much hoping that person reading this tin see a manner to continue forward with some version of the storm-stopper, and to salvage lives from the more than and larger violent violent storms which climatologists are now telling us are on the way.

Estimated cost of technology and feasibleness studies, one thousands of dollars.

Estimated cost of projected airplane pilot survey in the western Gulf, $12 to 20 million.

Estimated cost of full Storm Plug protection from Lone-Star State to the Cape Verdes, $3 to 12 billion.

Estimated cost of amends by Katrina alone, above $200 billion.

Estimated costs of the fully comparable Rita, unknown at this time.

Estimated costs of the hereafter great storms of which climatologists have got advised, unknown at this time.

Costs of any of these violent storm states of affairs in human terms, inestimable."
