A important part of any geo-engineering plan is the ability to turn it off. This method can be instantly turned-off with out any residual effects.
It is the goal of this machine to change a hurricane into a tropical storm. It is not the goal of this machine to steer a hurricane away from one area into another.
Every year on earth there are on average 90 hurricanes. On average 1.5 tropical storms or hurricanes make landfall in the U.S./year. Changing the on average 1.5 land falling hurricanes into tropical storms would not effect overall climate patterns on earth.
REDUCING GLOBAL WARMING
Hurricanes contribute to global warming in eight primary ways.
1.) Normally water evaporating from the ocean would cool the ocean but the high wind in a hurricane prevents this. The high wind creates a layer of spray, evaporation occurs in the layer of spray not in the ocean. The air in the spray zone is saturated with water vapor preventing almost all evaporation from the ocean. Also when the wind driven rain hit’s the ocean it explodes and turns into spray. Because of the high hurricane wind the cooling effect of evaporation happens above the ocean not in it.
2.) Hurricanes cause huge amounts deforestation. The dead trees killed by hurricanes release there carbon to the atmosphere. Also trees are earths natural shade. When hurricanes kill them it causes the earth to get hotter in the daytime than release the extra heat at night contributing to global warming. The dead trees killed by hurricanes don't do any photosynthesis. Photosynthesis soaks up heat from sunlight, the trees also soaks up carbon and water vapor from the atmosphere all of which contribute to global warming.
3.) Hurricanes are the ultimate dehumidifier, the fuel for a hurricane is humid air. When hurricanes dehumidify the air it allows more sun to hit the ocean causing it to warm up. Humid air is a natural shade for the ocean. When the air in a hurricane eyewall rises it dehumidifies, than it comes rushing down as a huge hot dry high pressure allowing the sun to bake the ocean unrestricted by the normally high humidity above the it.
4.) A hurricane transfers energy from the hot humid air to the ocean thought friction between the water and the wind. The big waves and the storm surge eventually turn into heat.
5.) The rain from a hurricane falling on the ocean causes the water to warm up. The massive amount of rain drops moving at a high velocity colliding with the ocean causes it to warm up.
6.) The waves, storm surge and rain from hurricanes causes massive amounts of erosion blocking sunlight to plankton. When plankton does not get enough sunlight it does not soak up heat and carbon and make oxygen. The sunlight that should go to the plankton gets soaked up by the dark muddy water making the ocean hotter than it should be. As a result less plankton and dead fish sink to the bottom of the ocean storing less carbon.
7) Hurricanes wipeout huge areas of saltwater swamps. Saltwater swamps provide shade for the ocean, also saltwater swamps provide habitat for wild life. Bird droppings feed the plankton and plankton feeds the fish.
8) Hurricanes make huge waves, when sunlight hit’s a flat ocean a lot of it is reflected back up, but when sunlight hit’s a big wave almost none of it is reflected, it all goes into the ocean heating it up.
It becomes a vicious cycle. Hurricanes heat the ocean which causes more hurricanes that heat the ocean even more. The easiest solution to our global warming problem is to get rid of hurricanes.
HURRICANE CONTROL
This machine and method of operation are designed to
destroy hurricanes, they are not designed to weaken and/or
alter the path of a hurricane.
Hurricanes have four essential elements, a central low pressure, wind, humid air, and
structure. If one or more of these essential elements are removed the hurricane will cease
to exist.
Lets look at each of the four essential elements and try to determine which one is the
easiest to remove. Starting with humid air - its my opinion humid air can not be removed
from a hurricane system. I would rate removing humid air from a hurricane system as the
least likely to happen. Next there is wind, trying to remove the wind from a hurricane
system is near impossible, there is to much of it. I would rate removing the wind from a
hurricane system almost as unlikely as removing humid air. Next there is structure, it to is
nearly impossible to remove because hurricane systems are so big. That leaves the central
low pressure. The central low pressure is the weak spot.
What if we could use all four of the essential elements of a hurricane to help get rid of
one essential element of a hurricane? What if we could use the wind, humid air, central
low pressure, and structure to remove the central low pressure? With the central low
pressure removed rotation around the center will end and the hurricane will cease to exist.
It is the primary goal of this machine to remove the central low pressure of the
hurricane system, the machine would accomplish this ambitious task in four primary
ways. 1) The machine would divert the hurricane eyewall into and away from the
hurricane eye. 2) The machine would slow down the air in the eyewall allowing the low
pressure in the eye to suck it in. 3) The machine would mechanically blow air from the
eyewall to the eye. 4) The machine would cause different parts of the eyewall to turn at
different rates.
When the humid air from the eyewall goes into the eye it expands in the low pressure
both vertically and horizontally, it slows down, it raises the air pressure in localized parts
of the eye, as the air pressure in localized parts of the eye goes up the wind in localized
parts of the eyewall turns less. (see drawing 4) Also when the humid air from the eyewall
enters the low pressure in the eye it expands and cools, convection occurs in the eye, a
strong draft is established into the eye and the hurricane will implode .
THE MACHINE
The machine is a ship, (see drawings below) The upper part of the ship is a V shaped
turbo charged wedge, each side of the V has three fan-tubes stacked vertically. Inside
each fan-tube there are three high speed fans. The fans are powered by electric motors.
The fans are made out of light weight, high strength, carbon fiber material. The fans are
similar in design to the fans in jet engines. The fans have a diameter of 30 meters. The
fans accelerate the air to 1900 km/hour.
In the front of the machine there is a air-intake. The air-intake is attached to the fantubes.
In the rear of the machine are the nozzles. The nozzles attach to the fan-tubes. The
nozzles pivot left to right, and open and close. The nozzles help control the machine
when it is in the eyewall.
In the top rear of the machine is the rear-wing, the rear-wing pivots up and down.
There are five partially submersible torpedo shaped hulls, water in the hulls adds ballast
to the ship. On each hull there are electric powered rotating thrusters. The thrusters rotate
360 degrees. The thrusters move the ship sideways when it is in the eyewall.
There are diesel power generators, the generators provide electric power to the fans and
thrusters. The generators are located low in the hulls for added ballast.
There are side-wings, the side-wings help prevent the eyewall from washing over the
fan-tubes.
METHOD OF OPERATION
Turn the fans on. With the front of the ship facing the wind use the thrusters to move
the ship sideways thru the eyewall into the hurricane eye. After the machine gets into the
eye the testing equipment should be deployed. (c in drawing 3 and 4) The machine starts
working from the center of the storm and moves out into the eyewall. With the fans
turned on and the rear wing angled down, use the thrusters to move the ship sideways into
the eyewall. (drawing 3) Hold the machine in that position until the eye and eyewall begin
to become distorted. The wedge shape of the machine and the air coming out of the
nozzles diverts the eyewall into and away from the center. The rear wing forces air from
above the machine down into the extreme low pressure created when the eyewall is
diverted.
HOLDING THE MACHINE IN THE EYEWALL - The air being sucked into
the air-intake pulls the machine forward. The air being blown out of the nozzles pushes
the machine forward, The thrusters push the machine forward and sideways. The nozzles
pivot left to right and open and close to help control the machine.
When the eyewall and eye begin to become distorted move the machine further into the
eyewall. ( drawing 4 ) A continuous connection should be maintained between the
machine and the eye. Keep moving the machine further into the eyewall. The eyewall on
the upwind side of the machine turns at a greater rate than the eyewall on the down wind
side of the machine. ( g and h in drawing 4 )
As the eyewall enters the eye it expands in the low pressure, the eyewall turns into the
eye. The diverted eyewall moves across the eye eventually crashing into the inside of the
eyewall causing breakouts in the eyewall. (f in drawing 4) Breakouts are areas of eyewall
that stop turning. Breakouts block the incoming air that feeds the eyewall and deprive the
eyewall of fuel.
As the air from the eyewall enters the low pressure in the distorted eye it expands both
vertically and horizontally, the air cools, convection occurs in the eye, a strong draft is
established into the eye, and the hurricane implodes. Maybe? All that would be left is a
big thunderstorm out in the middle of the ocean. If the storm reforms hit it again.
CONCLUSION
By using the hurricanes own forces, the wind of the eyewall, the central low pressure,
the humid air, and the structure of the storm, combined with this machine it might be
possible to stop hurricanes from wrecking large parts of America.
This machine and method of operation are designed to get rid of the small percentage of
hurricanes that are forecasted to make landfall, hurricanes that are not forecasted to make
landfall should be left alone. THE END ( see drawings below)
Final Note - Anyone that tells you there is some beneficial effect from hurricanes when they make landfall , or the solution to our hurricane problem is to build stronger houses is crazy. When a hurricane makes landfall it causes massive death and destruction to people, propriety, trees, wildlife and the environment in general.
The drawing below shows a second way to use the machine.
One or more machines are placed in the eyewall diverting it out.
The result is the machine blocks inflow to the eyewall depriving it of its much needed fuel.
Some secondary effects are;
When the eyewall is sucked into the air intake of the machine it expands and is super cooled.
When the eyewall is diverted by the machine it creates a extreme low pressure behind the machine in the V. the eyewall is than sucked down into the low pressure expanding, cooling, and dehumidifying. Further depriving the hurricane of fuel.
USING HURRICANES TO WARM THE PLANET
If hurricanes contribute to global warming than in the event of global cooling from a volcano or meteor strike we could make hurricanes and use them to warm the planet. Hurricanes warm the ocean and clean the junk out of the upper atmosphere.
The plan goes like this; as low pressures come off the coast of Mexico we could boost them up into hurricanes by cloud seeding to get the air to rise
and use the above machine to help get the low pressure to rotate. The home made hurricanes than go out into the Pacific ocean where they fizzle out over cool water.
If the planet gets to warm we reduce the number of hurricanes, if the planet gets to cold we increase the number of hurricanes.
