Re: Pascal's and Bernoulli's principle combined will weaken Hurricanes

First off they are not generator pumps they are hydroelectric generators at the surface where the Gulfstream current flows to the north past them at 6 to 7 mph thus turning the impellars and generating the power.
I calculate each tunnel will move 330,000,000 cubic feet of water per hour through them and exiting the tunnel at 5 mph. This should be enough water to generate near 50 megawatts of power per tunnel. With 1500 tunnels that is a staggering 75,000 mega watts of pure clean energy and would curb greenhouse gasses to some extent.
