liquid air, firewall
      #64482 - Wed Jan 18 2006 08:10 PM

Can we use liquid air to form a firewall meanwhile lead the storm far away to the ocean?

Regarding its size... Though we can use minimum liquid air or dry ice to let it change direction, finally it will be back.

If put a heat source above its eye, when the temperature above its top is higher than that at its bottom, the main convection will stop, thus it will collapse. Make sense?

Heat source is much easier to do. Combustion, heated salt, steam, focused light, etc.

Don't know why it isn't workable. Can anyone help?

How about this one:

Make a hot floating mobile island. Its high temperature could attract and trap hurricanes over there. Using mirror or so to concentrate sun light to produce hot vapour; floating green-house to heat water or sort of salt on its floor and keep heat during night; etc.

here's one. lets train hundreds of thousands of pigeons to fly directly into the wind of a hurricane. a sufficient number of pigeons should reverse the circulation and weaken the hurricane.

better yet, lets build a giant leafblower in the bahamas and turn it on when a hurricane is coming out of the atlantic.

or how about this, which could actually work: defoliate the entire continent of africa north of the equator, so that the saharan air layer chokes the ITCZ more and keeps cape verde storms from forming in large numbers.

hurricanes are there for a reason. if you push nature it will push back. i don't see pushing something as big and scary as a hurricane as a very wise... not at all.

and besides, i'll take good sound forecasting, good emergency planning and well-executed relief efforts over all the dynogel and project stormfury in the world. not to leave out liquid air and... uh... network security.
