what about liquid nitrogen silo dropped from the top of the eye of the hurricane and then explodes throughout the entire length of the eye inner walls?
seeing as most hurricanes begin as tropical stormsa over africa, could you not in theory stop them while their developing by building lots of wind turbines on the west african coastline, to take the energy out while its still developing, this could also be a sustainable way to power developing countries and the electricity could be sold to europe.
Why not to send a submarine underneath the hurricane, then attach a giant inflatable balloon to it. The submarine can even be anchored to the sea floor.
Just use a submarine... lol It's like a boat, but its airtight already... Our submarines weigh about 50,000 tons, so it can probably tug a bit more than that. Pretty sure the aux power from the nuclear reactor on the sub [or our newer aircraft carriers] could generate 5000 tons of liquid nitrogen within a couple hours. Liquid oxygen/liquid nitrogen; fish freeze naturally anyway.
instead of spraying liquid nitrogen from a plane above a hurricane which would make the hurricane more powerful because more heat would rise why not do the opposite by dropping heat bombs from a plane above the hurricane, thus there would be no room for hot air on the surface to rise considering there would be more hot air on top of it instead of cool air on top? The "heat bomb" could be anything feasible outside of nukes of course. Maybe a whole bunch of conventional MOAB bombs? Would hot air on top of the hurricane deprive the heat from below rising? Or would it also feed the hurricane instead of depriving it of a fuel source?
Good question! The science behind the rotation of a hurricane all really depends on which hemisphere you are living in. So, those who live in the Northern Hemisphere will experience a counter- clockwise rotation while those in the Southern hemisphere will notice the clockwise movement of winds in a hurricane. This is all to do with the Coriolis effect and The Atmospheric Circulation System. Basically the Coriolis effect is a deflection in wind direction due to different pressure zones in the atmosphere. I hope this has helped you! Luke Hughes, 14 South England
No, the Coriolis effect has to do with the shape of the Earth and it's rotation. The Earth is a sphere rotating around an axis right? The closer you are to the equator, the more the Earth's rotation moves you, and the closer you are to a pole, the less the Earth's rotation is moving you. So for a gigantic hurricane in the northern hemisphere, the south end of the hurricane is being moved more than the north end since it's closer to the equator. That's what makes it rotate. The Earth rotates toward the East (or to the right on most maps). The south end gets pushed right a lot and the top end only a little. This difference becomes counterclockwise rotation.
It should probably. The Coriolis effect would start working the other direction. It might have enough momentum to last a while before dying though. I don't really know.
What if we made artificial icebergs using ocean water in giant refrigerated warehouses off the coast of the Bahamas and then towed them out to the ocean?
If a thunder storm happened when a hurricane is happening and if lightning struck inside the hurricane should it destroy it or make it more powerful pls awnser this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why not use a submarine to discharge the liquid nitrogen just below the "eye of the storm". Maybe the US navy already using this technique to heat up the water to steer the storm. Anyway good video. Did sparks my brain for further thinking.
I've grown up and live in Flordia. It is so mind blowing to me, how people react to hurricanes. Yes, Anyone trapped should get to stay with people who have been thue a hurricane. Not only the fact that there's strenth in numbers, but learn how to deal with a hurricane as well. I see people react badily to the hurricanes, my question is why did they come to Florida knowing they may be hit and act like that cause there here that it's shouldn't happen to them. Hurricanes Don't care who are were they hit.
Okay, so nukes & liquid nitrogen are out of the question. But what if you could generate enough energy to create a shockwave that would push the break the eye wall of a hurricane? And I don't mean a heatwave but just a literal wave of energy(let's say a shockwave like an explosion only minus the whole nuke thing). Would the disruption from the wave be enough to stop a hurricanes rotation & make it dissipate or not? Also, could this type of energy work on a tornado?
here's one for you could you surround a hurricane and cut off it's energy source using resistors etc. to get rid of it. and could you explain the link between pressure and energy density of a storm.
the world needs hurricanes to transfer heat from each area of the planet but what you can do is create our own habitats to withstand the one way buildings that lower into the ground so that the hurricane goes over like a under ground storm/bomb shelter that more than likely won't work I'm sure that if we all thought of a way to create we can come up with one solid working solution
Let's try the liquid nitrogen it would save a lot of money billions if not trillions or pull the ice burg that fell off at Antarctica I'm all for saving human life
What about submarines armed with special long range liquid nitrogen torpedos from DARPA? Or some sort of underwater icbm freeze missle? If we can drop it from a cat 5 to even a cat 4 thats progress. Cat 5 is going to shred everything.
It's not as if this would be occurring on a daily basis though? Isn't it more important to save human lives and millions of dollars in damage? Marine life is resilient. It wouldn't be happening so often that it would completely destroy everything. And couldn't we test it just at least once to get more information about the best way to go about reducing the size of a hurricane? Any info, results good or bad, would be beneficial no?
Also...wouldn't a nuke within the leading eye wall severely disrupt the hurricane? And thank you for addressing these two topics...I've wondered for 30 years why these two things would or wouldn't work.
So, does that mean that if you strategically placed power generators in certain places of the ocean, you could weaponize a hurricane? Are there laws against doing things like that? (inciting natural disasters?) There probably should be.
How about we make a wind machine to form a category 6-10 without lots of property damage to asord a weaker one. PLEASE TALK ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can we cool the waters to stop hurricanes? Sure ... if we can overcome the problems of scale. Considering that you can't practically cool only the areas of water where a hurricane is forecast to be because forecasts are never entirely certain and become less so the longer into the future the forecast is, some may consider just cooling the entire sea. First, the energy that hurricanes run off of comes from the heat generated by our sun. To cool the SSTs, or sea surface temperatures, (in other words, to reduce the temperature and keep it there throughout the entire hurricane season) to a point where at least major hurricanes are less likely to form, you'd have to consume far more energy than could ever be generated artificially over a long period of time to accomplish this. Remember, you'd be cooling the waters in competition with the sun. And, second, consider the scale of trying to cool an entire section of the sea where tropical systems develop. And that's just the Atlantic Basin. What about all the other regions where cyclones also develop? In short, cooling the waters to stop hurricanes through man-made means isn't going to happen until you solve the problems of scale in more ways than one. As it is, tropical cyclones remain the earth's way of regulating ocean temperatures, since such systems dissipate excessive heat energy to sustain themselves.
How about using an unmanned vessel such as a ship filled with nitrogen that can explode or release the nitrogen at the right time. The vessel would most likely be lost but the lost of a vessel and I'm sad to see life in the ocean such as fish and etc would be easier than the destruction that it will bring to human lives, cities and properties.
Get a humongous piece of plywood and connect it to a bunch of helicopters and run it through the hurricane like a wall. That's to kill the hurricane pretty quick or, make two of them
Stupid question, but since we're already talking about extreme exotic methods of stopping a hurricane. What about dropping napalm or something else that is VERY hot on top of the hurricane? Oh and because you love bad grammar. "Wat if we dropz napam on the hurricane to remove cold at top of hurricane and make all warm. PLEASE DO VID ON DIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Heat the thunderstorm cloud tops with an atmospheric nuclear detonation. Use a weapon with a high fusion fraction and low fission fraction to minimize radioactive fallout.
An average hurricane is said to have about 1.5 trillion watts of wind power.. A 100 meter by 100 meter sail has about one billion watts of wind power available at 120mph. If a ship absorbs most of that by converting it into motion, 1000 ships might absorb most of the energy of a hurricane. But even a big cargo ship might have difficulties in a hurricane with a sail that big and 100 foot waves. If the ship always pointed down wind, it would surf down the waves instead of slamming into them with the bow. A submarine can cruise along under a hurricane without difficulty. If you had two submarines fastened together with a big tower sticking up to hold the sail up over the waves, the submarine it might be accomplished. There is another interesting possibility. If the engines were turned off and the propeller used as a turbine to spin the generator, maybe 300 million watts of electricity could be generated. Converted into hydrogen at 75% efficiency, that is about $2 million dollars a day worth off hydrogen. Times seven days for a hurricane is 14 million dollars. Times three hurricanes in a season is $42 million dollars. Plus, maybe ten or twenty million dollars more for tropical storms and ordinary winds the rest of the year. The vessel might pay for itself in a short time and save many lives and billions of dollars in damages. 2:49
someone probally already said this but why not. what if you super heat the top layer of convention on the hurricane. therefore removing the loop. if the warm water has no where to travel the flow would be disrupted. and it would be a lot easier to heat something rather than cool something.
I know Im late but... since we can't make a hurricane smaller it seems... then why not make the hurricane WORSE!? make it huuuuge, make it ABNORMAL! make it a TRUE MONSTER OF A HURRICAN!!! basically, can we make a possible, in a sense, "world ending" hurricane... **not, it does not have to end the world, just SEEM like it will**
What about containing it by changin the air flow around it so serounding it by huge fans and go blow some air to make sure it wont get anywhere else and then maybe drop fans with portible energy sourches into the huricane to couse chaos and destroy the huricane make video pls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (ps 25 of those--------------->!)
Katrina, Andrew, Rita, and Sandy are in a bar, Katrina:Me and Andrew were reckless! Sandy: I did lots of damage myself Rita: I was okay.. Irma, Harvey, and Maria walk in in June. Rita, Sandy, Andrew, and Katrina: who do you think you guys are? Harvey, Irma and Maria: Hold my beer *A few months later* Katrina: ._. Andrew: wat O_o Rita and Sandy: R.I.P. Harvey, Maria and Irma: where’s Our beer?
MasterMind Playz That would destroy unimaginable amounts of wild life and probably even cause a couple hundred species to go extinct which would be disastrous. It would probably be less disastrous to let the hurricane go on its way and just be prepared for the storm aswell as improve weather technology.
the only way to stop a Hurricane is to avoid being stopped by a hurricane....it is like asking, how to stop a typhoon.....uh, be where a typhoon can't stop you...but Man's ego stops this logic...and he suffers for it
What about something that kept the nitrogen from boiling when touching the water, keeping it cold. Obviously just throwing nitrogen directly in water would not work, so we should use some kind of container or a lot of interconnected containers, like a bunch of cold pads floating on the ocean. That would keep the nitrogen from affecting sea life too much and would keep surface water cold. It would be temporary anyway. To prevent the hurricane from going some other path several of these pads could be deployed covering every possible path around the hurricane. If the hurricane " feels" warm water in between pads, it will pick that way to go. Or maybe this is a way to control hurricane paths, driving them where they can't harm anyone. Cities could use these pads to protect themselves as the hurricane comes. Don't know, just throwing this out there.
Hey there! This would be a massive project, but one with many benefits. We'd need to set up multiple solar powered/environmentally friendly/durable mechanisms to cool the air/water enough to at least decrease the conditions for a hurricane to form, and still maintain the right temperature for ocean wildlife to survive. Mechanisms could be easy to maintain and locate with GPS. I'm sure there will be many questions discussed that will be resolved, as a project of this scale would change lives for the people in the areas who suffer the wrath of inclement weather. Money isn't an issue. Material isn't an issue. If enough of us contribute, it will be done. We have the brains of everyone in the world at our disposal. Let's try something. 😉
My dream is: build a big flying machine, mount a very big metal plate in the front of machine, and fly against the direction of hurricane. This wil reduce hurricane speed. The effect is same with cup water. Put spoon in and rotate quicky clockwise, and remove spoon. There, you made "hurricane" inside water. Now gently put spoon inside water and rotate slow clockcounterwise. As result, the water in cup will change and came to calm water due spoon resistance. Naturally, big hills on islands worked also as resistance for hurricane. Of course you keep flying around near the center to make some effect. But problem, we have no biggest machine who can fly against the hurricane.
Hurricanes should not be stopped. We've endured them for thousands of years, so why risk causing a huge environmental problem to try and weaken them slightly?
What if we slice the huricane with giant blades that runs at 50,000 rpm and higher??? I think with that wind that was generated by the blades would blown away the whole hurricane.....
Nope I think the only way to so that would be a rediclous fleet of submarines with large tubes filled with refrigerant liquid. And follow the storms eye. Even then it wouldn't be fast enough to halt a storm. I mean we would need hundreds thousands of ships. Lol
Your premise is wrong. We do not have to freeze the water to stop a hurricane, we would just have to COOL it to below hurricane forming temperature which science seems to agree would be 26 degrees C and we only should need to cool it when it is still just small and forming. Maybe these initial ideas are not realistic but at stage of human technological development we should be able to do something or at least to try and not just sit idly by and watch these storms wreak their biblical devastation. The same should apply to trying to stop the inevitable eruption of the caldera in Yellowstone which would destroy much more of humanity than any hurricane. C'mmon all you scientific geniuses... come up with an idea
Ha!! So if you heat up the top of the storm would the hurricane weaken, if chilling the top off will increase the strength will heating the top decrease it????
