HURRICANE SUN

CHARLES SIMMONS

The vertical rays of the Sun shine on different areas of the earth, each day,  depending on the time of the year.

Imagine a line from the exact center of the Sun to the exact center of the planet Earth:  the one we live on.  Imagine an arrow point on the end of the line pointing to a spot on the surface of the Earth. 

As the earth moves in its orbit around the Sun the Sun's vertical rays ,as indicated by the center to center arrow, shine on a new location each day. At noon each day the vertical rays are shining on a latitude seventeen point seventy-seven (17.77)  miles from the previous days noon latitude. The difference is because the earth is in a different orbital location as it moves around the Sun.

The Tropic of Cancer is the most northern point on the surface of the earth reached by the Sun's vertical rays - ever, as the earth orbits the Sun, year after year after year. The latitude line at this point is twenty-three and one half (23 1/2) degrees north of the Equator in the northern hemisphere, and is identified as The Tropic of Cancer. The date is June twenty-first. (21)

The same can be said of the most southerly point reached by the vertical rays of the Sun each year. This point in the southern hemisphere is twenty-three and one half degrees south, of the equator and is identified as The Tropic of Capricorn.  The date is December twenty second. (22)   A globe identifies each of these points as a latitude line circling the globe.

The distance between the Tropic of Cancer and The Tropic of Capricorn is three thousand two hundred forty three (3243) miles. It takes six months, or one half of three hundred sixty-five (365) days for the earth to move from one extreme position to the other in its orbit around the Sun. One half of three hundred sixty-five (365), days is one hundred eighty-two and one half (182 1/2) days, If we divide three thousand two hundred forty-three miles (3243) by one hundred eighty-two and one half (182 1/2) days we get seventeen point seven six nine eight six (17.76986) miles, the distance the earth moves under the direct vertical rays of the Sun from noon of one day to noon of the next day.  Let's round it off to seventeen point seventy-seven (17.77) miles per day.  Let this be known as the "Simmons Constant";  because it will never change.   A thousand years from now, this rate will be the same.

 Imagine yourself out in space viewing the earth in front of you.  The earth is rotating on its north pole, south pole axis which is tilted to the right.  The sun is way off to the right and its rays are shining on the upper half because the earth axis it tilted toward the sun.  As the earth moves away from you its path curves to the right around the sun and the sun rays now are shining on the side of the earth on the equator because the axis has remained on the same angle. One fourth of the earths journey has passed.  As the earth continues, the axis never changes and after six months the sun rays now shine on the lower half of the earth because, the axis is now tilted away from the sun.  In another three months the sun rays will again be shining on the equator, the axis still tilted the same, and the earth is returning to its exact starting point.  "Exact," because nothing in space changes fast enough for anyone to be aware of.  Sir Isaac Newton has explained that all bodies in space are locked in position due to mutual gravitation.

Assuming the direct vertical rays of the Sun produce the most heat on the surface of the earth, then it is logical to conclude that this is the source of the most intense heat which contributes to the formation of hurricanes.  These vertical rays remain forever within the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn limit lattitudes.  There is a greater heat build-up nearer each of these tropic lattitudes because of the longer exposure during approach and  recession.

We can also conclude that this seventeen point seventy-seven (17.77) miles per day, is the rate of approach of the annual hurricane season, year after year after year.

Dividing seventeen point seventy-seven (17.77)  miles by twenty-four (24)hours per day, gives us zero point seven four (0.74) miles per hour, the rate of approach of the annual hurricane season. That is approximately three fourths (3/4) of a mile per hour.

By tracking this arrow point at noon each day as the Earth moves along its orbital path, we have a possible predictor of where the next hurricane may form. 

Two factors are essential to the formation of a hurricane.  The first is surface temperature of the ocean, measured down one meter, and the increase in humidity which it produces, and second, the coriolis force, always present as a result of the rotation of the earth, and which causes the rotation of a rising, humid, air mass over an ocean hot spot.

Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, was the first to show that the Earth moved in an orbit around the stationary Sun, instead of the Sun orbiting the Earth.

Using PI to Think Big

The Circumference(C), or distance around, the Earth at the equator =  24,902 miles.   pi = 3.1416.  Remembered more easily as three point fourteen, sixteen.  The Diameter of Earth measured from a point on the equator through the exact center to the equator on the other side multiplied by pi equals the circumference.  C = pi * D.   C divided by pi = diameter.  24,902 / 3.1416 = 7926.5342 miles, diameter of the earth.  Round it off to 7926.5.  The radius is one half the diameter.  7926.5 divided by 2 = 3963 miles.

The distance from Earth to the Sun is ninety-three miillion (93,000,000) miles. That distance is known as one astronomical unit (1 AU) and is commonly used as a unit of measurement of distances in space. Another common method of measuring distances in space is the "light year".  A "light year" is the distance light travels in one year at the speed of light, which is one hundred eighty six thousand (186,000) miles per second, or six hundred seventy million (670,000,000) miles per hour.  The earth's orbit around the Sun is nearly a perfect circle;  therefore with the sun as its center, 1AU is the radius or one half of the diameter of the earth's orbit around the Sun.  The Diameter(D) of the earth's orbit is 2*r,  or 2AU which is 2*93,000,000 or 186,000,000 miles.  The Circumference of the earth's orbit around the sun is D(186,000,000 miles) * pi (3.1416) = 584,337,600 miles and it will take one year (365days) to travel that distance.   Ancient mathematicians noticed that the circumference of any circle was almost exactly three times its diameter, and this number was used for a very long time.  Soon it became apparent that three wasn't quite enough so they added another one tenth  to pi, but even that wasn't quite enough to complete the circle  so another four one hundredths was added. Their circles were still being left incomplete so then another one thousanth  was added.  Still not quite right.  Another six ten thousanth   was added to try to complete their circles.  Almost but still not there yet.  Out of shear frustration one mathematician who was a little more religious than the others decided to pray about it and he wrote the hymn  "Will The Circle Be Unbroken,  By and By Lord By and By?"  You know the rest of the story.  It ain't gonna happen using "PI." (I may have stretched this tale a little.)

The present record for calculating the number of PI digits is to 6.4 billion places.   Try physically adding that last particle to the circumference of any circle.

Are we thinking BIG yet.

Let's take a look at the area enclosed by earth's orbit circle around the sun.

Area of a circle = PI * radius squared.  A = pi * (r * r).  Area of the space enclosed by earth's orbit around the Sun = pi x r squared or 3.1416 * (93,000,000 * 93,000,000) = 2.71716984 raised to the sixteenth power, square miles.  Now that is BIG.

A LITTLE MORE MATH

2x2=4 3x2=6 4x4=16, but what does 12=

Multiplication can take a different form.

In electricity, for example, E = I x R, where E = volts, I = amperes, R = resistance.

Notice the problem solution is given first, followed by how you get it.

Car battery voltage is 12. I found that a halogen head lamp draws 10 to 15 amps. Lets use one that draws 10 amps. How many ohms of resistance does that circuit have. 12 = I x R. We now have two out of three elements of the problem 12 = 10 x R. We have to switch to division for the answer. R = E / I. R = E over I. 12 volts divided by 10 amperes(amps.) Ten goes into 12 one time with 2 left over. So the answer is one and two tenths, which looks like 1.2 (one point two.)

We are lookings for how many ohms resistance are in a halogen headlamp that draws ten amps when 12 volts is turned on, and the answer is one point two ohms resistance.

Notice the E goes on top when you’re looking for ohms. R = E over I.

The same holds true if you know the voltage and the resistance and are looking for amperes. The voltage goes on top and you divide 12 volts by 1.2 ohms to find that a halogen headlamp draws 10 amperes.

This same formula arrangement applies to any “three element” math problem, where the problem solution is the product of the multiplication of two factors. If you know any two of the elements (factors) it is easy to find the third one, using one of the above formulas.

Incidentally if you ask an electrician what the “E” stands for he mignt or might not know that it stands for “Electromotive Force.” If you ask him what the “R” stands for he probably will know that it stands for “Resistance.” If you ask him what the “I” stands for he most likely will not know; but you will know because you learned it here. The “I” in the Ohm’s Law formula stands for “INTENSITY.” Intensity?  Intensity of what?  Amperes!  Why not use the letter "A."  Because the letter "A" is used already in other formulas, and besides "intensity" is a better description of the electron activity that takes place when a circuit (copper/aluminum wire conductor, etc.) are carrying electrons to and from an electrical load (light bulb, electric motor, heating element, etc..)

What good is knowledge if it is not put to use?

Let’s think BIG.

Now is the time.  Notoriety about hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Wilma, and Dean, is very high.

Now is the time for common sense to take root regarding hurricane PREVENTION.

We need a “fire in the belly and a passion” for hurricane prevention.

If a fire breaks out, a fire department is called, to save people and property. Fire departments are everywhere, and represent an investment of billions of dollars, to save billions of dollars in property losses, and thousands of lives.

Traffic signals and cable dividers in highway medians are installed for the same reasons

The same reasoning can apply to hurricane PREVENTION; saving thousands of lives and avoiding billions of dollars in property losses.

A hurricane has a beginning, and that is where our prevention has to begin.

Hurricanes are temperature related. The focus of this paper, and business plan, will be upon ways to control ocean SURFACE temperatures in areas that may become hurricanes. SURFACE TEMPERATURES start hurricanes.

Hurricanes weaken and fade away when they encounter cooler waters or make landfall. Ways to cool large areas of warm water are necessary when hurricanes become a threat to island populations or  coastal cities. This capability should be available on a continuous basis during hurricane season, in locations where hurricanes are most likely to form.

When hurricanes come ashore they are also affected by physical obstructions. They are slowed down by shore line tall buildings; condos, hotels, trees, other surface objects or features, that quickly reduce hurricane categories. Unfortunately their built up energy is reduced in destructive ways. People and property suffer.  People and property absorb all that energy.

I am looking at a map which shows the formation of one hundred twenty-two hurricanes that have occurred during the last one hundred years, in the Caribbean between Cuba and Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama.

Only thirteen formed in the Gulf of Mexico. Many others formed in the South Atlantic. Important note: these one hundred twenty-two hurricanes occurred in just the first two weeks of October during this one hundred year period. The annual hurricane season lasts much longer than two weeks. The visual image of all these red dots should convince anyone of the urgent need to develop a permanent means of cooling large areas of surface water temperature when needed.

Cost should be of secondary consideration. Hurricanes are far too damaging and destructive to ignore any longer. The most tragic events are forgotten in a very short period of time. Plans should already be underway to PREVENT hurricanes.

We should be prepared to prevent hurricanes with the same zeal, intelligence, and investment that we apply to fire prevention.

Many writers have written much in describing hurricanes in technical terms. This tends to prevent action. The solution to hurricane PREVENTION is simple, and should be kept simple.

Cool the water, when it gets too warm, or destroy the rising column of rotating warm air.

Research has discovered that most of the earth's water is barely above freezing. There is plenty of cold water to work with.  Hurricanes move very slowly. There is plenty of time in which to take preventive action. There are many slow moving hurricanes to practice and experiment with;  especially in the Caribbean.

Research has shown that hurricanes can form when SURFACE temperatures reach eighty-one degrees Fahrenheit, (26.5 degrees C) or warmer.

This temperature is the only enemy. Nothing else need be considered to prevent a hurricane. How much simpler could it be?

Other factors such as humidity, and coriolis force are always present, but only the high surface temperature of eighty-one degrees, or higher will initiate a hurricane .   How big will the hot spot be that might start a hurricane forming updraft?  Remember, they have to start somewhere.

Will it be one hundred yards in diameter? One half mile in diameter? Five miles in diameter? Ten miles in diameter,or one hundred miles in diameter?   Those may be the sizes of areas that could reach eighty-one plus degrees before a hurricane forming updraft occurs.    The main thing is to have a prevention capability ready when needed.

A surface temperature of eighty-one degrees is our target hot spot and our first responder cooling ship will need to sail right through the center of it, dividing it in two, or more masses.

A mass of anything has weight and occupies space and can be acted upon by various forces. The force we are interested in is the one that causes this warm humid air mass to begin rotating. 

This force is known as the coriolis force. It is always present because it is the result of the earth’s rotation in a west to east direction. As long as the earth continues to rotate there will be a coriolis force. Humid air has weight and occupies space and can be acted upon by the coriolis force. , Water weighs eight point thirty-three pounds per gallon, even if it has been evaporated to cause an increase in humidity.   My calculator tells me that a five gallon jug of water from Wal Mart weighs forty one point sixty-five pounds.  No wonder hurricanes cause so much damage.

The coriolis force is zero at the Equator, because it causes rotation in one direction in the northern hemisphere and the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere. They cancel each other at the equator. At about ten or fifteen degrees, north or south, of the equator, it begins to become a factor affecting a warm, humid air mass  rising over an ocean hot spot.

A heated, humid, air mass will spin in a counter-clockwise direction as it ascends over the hot spot north of the equator. This is shown on the weather channel when hurricanes are displayed.    If the hot, humid, air mass is kept small by dividing it in smaller sections during early formation as a tropical depression, a full scale  hurricane will be prevented.  THIS WILL DENY THE CORIOLIS FORCE A MASS OF HEAVY HUMID AIR TO ROTATE THEREBY PREVENTING THE FORMATION OF A HURRICANE.

This is the second of our responsibilities aimed at preventing a hurricane. Dividing a hot spot will not produce two hurricanes, because neither mass is enough to be a problem.

Our first responder cooling ship will not wait for the temperature to reach eighty-one degrees. It will start cooling operations at seventy-eight or seventy-nine degrees, or less, but only if reports indicate the presence of other variables such as high humidity, a forecast of continuing hot days, and being far enough away from the equator. No need responding unless sufficient hurricane forming factors are present.

The first responder shipboard computer will be continuously processing information from the Global Positioning Satellites, covering ocean conditions in its assigned area. Satellite sensors will determine the optimum time for setting sail in order to control a developing hurricane.  If a hurricane does not become a threat to population centers it will be allowed to run it's course naturally, however a category limiting capability will always be available.

Where does all the hurricane producing heat come from? Take a look at your globe, if you have one. Please get one. A globe contains a wealth of information. They are not expensive and are available at map stores or office supply stores.

There is a wide band that encircles the middle. It is the wide band between the encircling line labeled "Tropic of Cancer" in the northern half of the globe, and the encircling line labeled "Tropic of Capricorn" in the southern half of the globe. These lines are the northern most point, and southernmost point, where the straight down, intense heat, vertical rays of the sun shine on the earth.

On June twenty-first, in the northern hemisphere, the Sun’s rays are shining straight down on the Tropic of Cancer,and we have been experiencing the enjoyable normal warming trend of Spring and early summer.  On June twenty-second these vertical rays move away from the Tropic of Cancer as earth continues its day by day journey around to the other side of its orbit around the sun, and will arrive there six months later on December twenty-second.  Let's check our shadow on June twenty-one to see how long it is.

Meanwhile the earth has been continuously rotating on its north pole, south pole axis in a twenty-four hour, day, night cycle. The earth, spinning on its axis, is like a gyroscope. The Earth is a very large mass rotating in a space vaccuum with nothing to make it slow down or speed up,- ever.  The angle of its axis in relation to its orbital plane around the Sun, never changes. This angle is twenty-three and one-half degrees from the vertical. This is why the Tropic of Cancer is presented to the Sun in the Spring and the Tropic of Capricorn is presented in the winter. Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter, the axis remains angled twenty-three and one half degrees away from an imaginary line perpendicular to the Earth’s orbital plane around the Sun.

 This gyroscopic reliability keeps the earth axis continuously pointing to the north star, and it will continue to point to the north star (Polaris) for as long as we live.  However the axis does move in a very small circle.  It completes a circle once every twenty-six thousand years.  This phenomena is known as "precession."

Year after year the plane of the earth's orbit around the Sun remains the same, and the angle of the earth's axis with the plane remains the same. This is why the axis of the globe you just purchased is positioned on an angle twenty-three and one half degrees, from an imaginary line perpendicular to the table top, or sixty-six and one half degrees from the table top. The table top on which your globe is resting, represents the orbital plane of the earth circling the Sun. The Sun does not move--the earth moves around the Sun.

The Sun is permanent.   Ways to cool the hurricane producing ocean temperatures or interfere with a rising column of warm air,  will be just as permanent.

During any year the hottest, direct, vertical rays of the Sun will always be found within the area bounded by the Tropic of Cancer and The Tropic of Capricorn.  However,  a hurricane starts as a rotating mass of  humid warm air, and this rotation is caused by the coriolis force which is stronger when measured farther north or south from the equator.   Hurricanes know no boundaries.

I hope you now have your globe.

Now take a look just off the coast of Africa. Many hurricanes form here. We watch as the Sun comes up.   No, the Sun does not move.  It's apparent movement to rise up out of the ocean is caused by the Earth rotating toward it.  The day is just beginning, and we are in the hurricane season, sometime between  June first and November thirtieth.  We are fifteen degrees north of the equator and the coriolis force is strong enough to create a spin. The surface temperature will get warmer and warmer as the day progresses.               

A hot spot is developing and will continue to develop for several days because at sundown and throughout the night the earth does not radiate enough heat out into cold space to prevent a daily, cumulative rise in the hot spot temperature.  Warm air always moves toward colder areas.  The hot spot finally gains enough humidity and mass to be affected by the coriolis force. The rotating updraft begins. The surface temperature of the water has reached eighty-one degrees because, no one was there to cool the water.

This beginning hurricane continues to gain strength with each passing day as it meanders randomly in a westward direction across the ocean, following a path of least resistance because, no one is there to resist it.

Two feet, six feet, ten feet, twenty feet, fifty feet, down there is plenty of cold water.

Lets use an example. Suppose you put a pan of water on the stove to heat. The temperature will continue to rise right on past eighty-one degrees. If you turn off the heat the rise stops immediately and the temperature begins to drop. This is what happens at sundown.

If you pour cold water into the heating water, the temperature rise stops immediately and the temperature drops.  We can turn off the heat, and add cold water to control the surface water temperature of a hurricane threatening development.

Considering the massive damage caused by recent hurricanes, why would we not want to do something--anything, to gain control over these monster hurricanes. It is good to spend money cleaning up after a hurricane, but it would be better to PREVENT them in the first place.

We will use the technology that is available. Ocean surface temperatures are monitored continuously by the National Weather Service. This information can be sent by Global Positioning Satellites (GPS) to properly equipped ships anywhere on the earth's surface. 

The area in the Caribbean is the first place that will produce results the quickest, because the map shows that area to have the highest concentration of hurricanes. Look at your new globe. Notice that the fifteen degree latitude line goes right through the center of the Caribbean Sea, a basin that can contain a lot of hot water, and can be affected  easily by the coriolis force.

Would anyone ever have imagined that our system of volunteer fire departments would evolve into the efficient first responders that we have today?

The same logic can apply to first response hurricane prevention equipment. Water cooling ships need to be ready to move as soon as hot spots are detected.

This will be a work in progress, just as fire equipment and departments are continuously being improved.  Experimentation and development can and should begin at any time, and the sooner the better. The next hurricane season may be worse than the last.   It is approaching now at seventeen point seventy-seven (17.77) miles per day

During the hurricane season ships will be continuously at sea, ready to cool surface temperatures, using the most appropriate equipment and methods. It is not unreasonable to consider using large  double hulled tankers in this service. They will  be equipped with computers that will respond to a set point temperature, and other hurricane supporting variables. They will be equipped with many pumps mounted down each side of the deck, ready to spray large volumes of cold water brought up from the deep. They will assume a position that will interfere with any hurricane forming air mass movement.

The double hulled tankers will be filled with large size crushed ice, brought down from the ice filled Arctic waters. Why crushed ice? Because ice floats and can provide many hours of lead time ahead of the next days hot sun. The temperature rise can be reduced to a lower temperature range,  thereby avoiding the critical eighty-one degrees that can initiate a hurricane. The size of the ice crush can determine the length of lead time ahead of the night time period of cooling.

Experiments with very large blowers will also be made with the powerful air being discharged through venturi tubes.   These powerful blowers will be installed on the bow of a ship with a movable venturi discharge section, directing the air blast up and down or side to side, and moving straight through a hot spot. They will swing around and go back through again, and again. The developing hurricane will be affected. There is plenty of time to experiment, because a hurricane moves very slowly across the ocean.   Who knows until we try.

THE US NAVY has many powerfull ventilation blowers that would be suitable.

The importance of the nighttime cooling temperatures cannot be emphasized enough. All cooling work will be done after sundown. Temperatures drop naturally as soon as the Sun source of heat is removed. Remember the pan of water heating on the stove. All additional cooling efforts will be applied to enhance the natural cooling that takes place after sundown.  The next day's surface temperature will begin at a lower temperature

This is a war and the hot spots are the enemy, and will be treated as such. Divide and conquer will be the rule when the hot spots develop, even if they are ten, twenty or one hundred square miles in area. Keep them small to prevent a mass accumulation of hot, humid, rising air.

Don't forget the massive damage and cost of a hurricane. We will be prepared to prevent hurricanes with the same zeal and intelligence that we apply to fire prevention,. Don't forget the filth, threat to health because of sanitation problems, the massive clean-up, destroyed homes and businesses, the evacuation and relocation, that follows big hurricanes.

A “fire in the belly, and a passion” for hurricane prevention, or control is essential.

Suppose the argument prevails, that trying to prevent hurricanes is much too speculative and uncertain, and that it's better to leave well enough alone and just continue cleaning up the messes. This is negative defeatism.  We need creative, supportive, ideas why things will work, not why things won't work.  THINK,   INVENT

If a dangerous hurricane forms, it will still be stopped by using three big double hulled tankers, spreading large crushed ice in the path of the hurricane. They will be much like salt trucks, spreading salt on ice covered highways. They will be guided by the eye of the hurricane, so that no matter which way the hurricane moves it will find nothing but cooling non-supporting surface temperatures. The hurricane will be reduced in intensity and category.

Are three large double hulled tankers too big a solution?  Go look at New Orleans.  If one tanker full gets used up it can immediately return to the arctic for another load of crushed ice.  When a warship uses up all of its ammunition it goes to get another load.  They should be kept filled and readily available during the hurricane season.  Hurricanes are dangerous!

Large double hulled tankers, and high volume pumps  and blowers will be high on our shopping list. A massive, after sundown, water cooling capability is our goal and business plan.

We will be able to lower the temperature range, or stop a fully developed hurricane. Our tankers, filled with crushed ice or cold water, and outfitted with computer control systems, will  be able to automatically start up, hoist the anchor and announce to the small resident crew over the PA system,  the destination to the hot spot. Anti-collision sensors, bow and stern will be installed, to avoid collision with other shipping.  

Take a look at "Hurricane and Storm Tracking,"  Storm archive.   Enter this in your computer URL.  Storm tracking is shown that dates back to 1888.    

FUNDING:

 an essential part of any business plan.

COPORATE SPONSORSHIP

Just look at that big tanker! Isn't she a beautiful sight, spraying water in all directions, laying a smoke screen, and spreading large crushed ice from the fantail. What is the name on the side of this one?  I believe it is the ‘USS TAX BREAK.”

No trouble funding that one.  No business plan is complete without one.

Look! there's another one.  It is a seven hundred foot long, one hundred foot wide double hulled tanker spraying water like a Las Vegas fountain. What a show!

Whose name will be on the side of this one?

Marketing departments are going crazy trying to launch before their competition. This may become an international race. Why not the United Nations.  Which Caribbean country will be first to launch?

In Greenville, SC a large food chain built the Bi Lo Convention Center.  Cinergy in Cincinnati built a stadium. The News Journal just completed a convention center in Daytona Beach, FL. How many more can you think of? There are many. Just think of the big letters on the sides of those double hulled tankers. 

Our government continues to receive harsh criticism about its response to the recent hurricanes. Most of it perhaps unfair. But none could criticize an intelligent effort to PREVENT or moderate future hurricanes.

Through experimentation and testing, it should be easy to demonstrate that it is possible to cool surface temperature to the point that a hurricane cannot begin.

A corporation will be formed and funds solicited from those business or government entities that will benefit  most from the protection provided.  We have been led to believe that the World Wide Web Internet reaches millions of people. We should use this means to attempt to raise money for HURRICANE PREVENTION. It should be an easy sell. This is a logical part of this business plan.  What position would you like to hold in this new corporaton?

If you can build it, you can sail it. The oceans are international and free, and this is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!

What a spot to say, “Let's roll!”  Suggestions are welcome.    kentuckytoflorida@netzero.com

Please get that “fire in your belly and a passion” for hurricane prevention, because;

HURRICANE PREVENTION JUST MAKES MORE SENSE

One large double hulled tanker will be stationed off the coast of Africa. Another somewhere in the Caribbean, and another on the East Coast of the United States. Others will be stationed on the Pacific Coast and the coast of South America. Certain strategic oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico will be equipped with four each high volume submersible pumps to spray water and reduce surface temperatures in the path of an approaching hurricane. Anything is worth a try.

GOVERNMENT PARTICIPATION

What about funds from FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency?) Is this not an emergency management issue?

Another experiment that should be tried is the use of smoke screens. Remember that removing the source of heat cools water quickly. One way would be to send U S Navy Destroyer Escorts to crisscross the hot spot, laying smoke as they go. These are armed and ready, already paid for by The American People.  This will be a day time application during the afternoon, so that this cooling can be added to the after sundown natural cooling.

A couple of forty-nine thousand ton, Iowa Class Battleships will slow down an approaching hurricane without firing a weapon, the same way large shore line buildings do. Just sailing back and forth and dividing the rotating heated air mass to keep it from getting too large.

It is time. The time is now, for just such a common sense defense against these damaging hurricanes

Anything is worth a try. 

Remember Galveston. Remember New Orleans. Remember Florida. Remember Katrina. Remember....!

A global positioning satellite will sense a developing hot spot in the Caribbean and send a signal to a tanker's on board computer. The computer alerts the small resident crew that the ship is about to get underway. The computer automatically starts the engines and hoists the anchor. Anti-collision sensors bow and stern will prevent collisions with other shipping. The course is set by the GPS. The crew will take over in case of an emergency. The ship is under way and will arrive at the hot spot in time to automatically start pumping cold water from intakes below the ship, or laying a smoke screen. Back and forth, attack, attack, again and again, cooling the surface,  interfering with the rising column of air until another victory is won.  You get the picture.  WE ARE DENYING THE CORIOLIS FORCE.

 ANYTHING, is worth a try.

We must divide, and cool, the hot spot, or destroy the rising column of rotating warm air.  Let me hear from you.      kentuckytoflorida@netzero.com

Prevention must prevail.   Deny the coriolis force.

HURRICANE PATROL

Have you ever heard of the destroyers Hoel, Heermann, and Johnston? 

The Imperial Japanese Navy was able to successfully sail through the Philippine Islands' San Bernadino Strait and enter the Philippine Sea.  Their goal:  to sail down the coast of  Samar and enter Leyte Gulf to destroy the over seven hundred ships of the U S Philippine Invasion force unloading material and supplies on the beaches of the island of Leyte.

These three pitbulls of the U S Navy selflessly, and heroically raced full speed to attack and attack again and again, with their rapid firing guns blazing away with armor piercing projecticles at the overwhelming force of the Imperial Japanese Navy until Admiral Kurita was forced to issue the command that would guarantee the failure of his mission: "General Attack!"  His ship captains were now on their own, firing freely and without direction, from the Flagship;  no longer a threat to the U S ships in Leyte Gulf. 

The Hoel, Heermann, and Johnston,  their captains and crew, earned a special place in history that day.  The Hoel and Johnston were sunk, to begin their final voyage of six and one quarter miles to the bottom of the Philippine Trench, but the Japanese Imperial Navy had been stopped cold, and finally turned away, abandoning their mission !

I tell this story in hope that a suitable memorial can be established in memory of this very important World War I I event.

Few Commanders in Chief are given a more clear cut opportunity for heroic action than are about to be offered once again, as another hurricane season relentlessly approaches at seventeen point seventy-seven miles per day.

Forming hurricanes represent battles to be joined and victories to be won.. 

 My suggestion is to attack and attack, again and again, dividing and defeating each and every named tropical depression, using a newly organized HURRICANE PATROL.  The Hoel, Heermann, and Johnston Hurricane Patrol could find an honored place in the hearts and minds of hurricane victims and survivors everywhere.

This patrol will function in a manner similar to our highly effective U S Coast Guard Iceberg Patrol. Its actions will PREVENT the formation of destructive hurricanes.

Commander-in-Chief George Bush and First Lady Laura Bush will win victory after victory as each named tropical depression fades from existence under the repeated attacks of the HoeL, Heermann, Johnston Hurricane Patrol.

Another President, another time,  would shout,  "Bully!, anchors aweigh!" and charge after each new hurricane with calculated abandon, using  the knowlege and methods presented in this "superwindstorm.com" website.

BEGIN!.....everything else is easy.

The jet engines, or other air moving equipment will be mounted athwartship near the bow.  Their thrust will be directed seaward, port and starboard.

The  ship will drive straight through a rising column of warm air, with all jet engines or blowers running in such a manner as to break up, destroy or otherwise interfere with the rising column of warm air. 

The ship will remain on site and continue passage back and forth through this hurricane formation threat site as long as necessary.

 A second or third relief ship will be prepared and ready.

I firmly and sincerely believe that this is the course of action that will be followed to prevent the formation of hurricanes.  A SUPERWINDSTORM from ship mounted powerful industrial strength blowers, or from heavy lift helicopters,  will easily  knock out a beginning hurricane.

This is the letter I wrote to the "Letters" section of the News Journal.  It was not "timely" enough for publication.  I believe it should be in my website.

"PLEASE, DON'T DO THAT!

The carrier Orinskany is scheduled to be sunk Wednesday to become an artificial reef for fish.

A much better use for this large vessel would be to use her to prevent the formation of hurricanes.  By mounting large industrial strength blowers athwart ship on her deck she could become the first HURRICANE PREVENTION ship.  She could sail straight through the center of a growing column of warm air with all blowers  blasting and completely stop the formation of the next hurricane,  The Orinskany could attack and attack again and again, passing back and forth through the rising column of hurricane forming warm air. Her glory days could be just beginning.

The coriolis force would be no match for the power of those US NAVY jet engines and the blocking size of an aircraft carrier.   How many jet engines?  Enough to do the job.  Let's start with eight port side engines and eight starboard side engines.  It's an experiment that should be seriously considered.  Run the number of engines as necessary depending on the size of the hurricane threat.

Do they really want a legacy of sunken ships. 

 Think BIG!  Remember New Orleans.  Remember Biloxi,  Remember Katrina,  Remember  Nargis. 

WE NEED THAT CARRIER TO PREVENT HURRICANES.

PREVENTION
www.superwindstorm.com

Our news channels are filled each day with events of such seriousness that our nation does not need the additional burden of one hurricane after another as we experienced in two thousand five.

Hurricane PREVENTION becomes increasingly essential.
Maintaining a serious focus upon anything is extremely difficult.  Distractions are everywhere that demand our attention.

We cannot wait for new plans to be developed when we already have the means to prevent any named hurricane from becoming a major threat.

Research has found that most of the Earth's water is barely above freezing.

With so much cold water just below the surface we will be able to immediately bring it to the surface ready to deliver as needed. 

Seven hundred foot long, one hundred foot wide double hulled tankers do not have to be limited to the transportation of oil.  They will bring up cold water from the depths and deliver to prevent hurricanes as well.  With enough Pod propulsion units attached to the hulls,  those long shafts will be eliminated, and they'll become speed boats.
They will sail back and forth through a rising column of warm air, spraying cold water in all directions, to defeat a hurricane formation.

Hurricanes do not move very fast.  They will remain in place while our Commander-in-Chief, First Lady, Laura, his Secretary of Defense, his Secretary of The Navy,  Director of Homeland Security, and others destroy each named hurricane.

Remember eighty-one degrees F or warmer surface water may start a rising column of air that can become a hurricane.  

Just a few degrees lower will prevent a hurricane.   It's so easy a "........" can do it.

The hurricanes of two thousand five demand a response that will prevent hurricanes.

"Inactive" ships are safe in a harbor, but that is not why they were built.  They certainly were not built to become artificial reefs for fish.

Preventing hurricanes in the early formation stages with a newly formed, quick response, hurricane patrol is a wise course of action;  one that only our Commander-in-Chief, or his wife Laura could handle.  After all, what good is education if it is not put to use?

Please,  stay focused on hurricane prevention.

To summarize:

The physics of  hurricane development are  simple:  warm ocean surface temperatures, high humidity, and the coriolis force which sets a warm rising air mass to rotating.

When I first began this paper I was impressed by a website which referred to an eighty-one degree or warmer surface temperature as being necessary to start a hurricane.  The solution to preventing hurricanes seemed dirt simple.  Just cool the water and be done with it.

Since then though, I have come to be convinced that resources are more readily available to attack repeatedly , the rising column of air of a forming hurricane.

I knew the U S Navy had ships in "inactive status,” but I had no idea just how many.  There are many.  This definitely seems to be a project for the U S Navy;  already paid for by The American People.

Destroyers will be my first choice of ship to be used as hurricane patrol vessels.   If these are for sale a private enterprise company can do the job instead of the Navy.

My reason for this choice is:  the deck is large enough for mounting the framework for installing the heavy industrial blowers.  Without the need for weaponry, ammunition, torpedoes, etc.  the small, skeleton, crew will be for emergencies only . The crew will be minimum, more comfortable, and the  ship load lighter.  Speed in not essential but if necessary, with their nine foot diameter props  and lighter load, they will really move.  

They will be controlled automatically by ocean surface temperatures, via global positioning satellites, which will move the destroyer to the warmest spot on the ocean surface.  The large industrial blowers will operate automatically to prevent the formation of an updraft.
The GPS, destroyers,  industrial blowers will be like a thermostat controlled air moving system which senses an ocean hot spot then responds with appropriate modulated blower application, using three phase variable speed blowers.

Eight blowers portside,  eight blowers starboard side, will be applied in pairs depending upon air strength needed to produce an effective SUPERWINDSTORM.  An updraft with coriolis force will not stand a chance of becoming a hurricane.   Deny the coriolis force.

I have located suppliers of these industrial strength blowers.  They are readily available.

Destroyers are in “inactive status”;  waiting.

Hurricanes can be stopped before they get started.

THINK!   INVENT!  With one stripped down destroyer equipped with  eight port,  and eight starboard very large blowers, moving straight through the center of a forming potential hurricane, then swinging around to pass through again and again, and again with a super windstorm,  how can this fail to prevail  over a relatively weak coriolis force?  It might even be considered “overkill.”   Keep the air stirred up,continuously, during hurricane season.   Deny the coriolis force anything to rotate.

BEGIN!.....the rest is easy.

ANCHORS AWEIGH!!

November 3, 2007

Re:  Hurricane "Noel."    Current location  31.4 N, by

  72.4 W.   Just off the East Coast  Near Chesapeke Bay.

Few indeed are the times when a hurricane comes to visit a Naval Base.

There she is gentlemen. “Noel” is almost here.

Anchors aweigh!!

Three destroyers should be enough.

WHOOP!! WHOOP!! WHOOP!!

NOW HEAR THIS! NOW HEAR THIS!

ALL HANDS PREPARE FOR IMMEDIATE DEPARTURE.

BATTEN DOWN ALL LOOSE GEAR FOR A POSSIBLE ROUGH WEATHER SAIL.

ORDERS HAVE JUST BEEN RECEIVED FROM THE HIGHEST COMMAND TO ENGAGE HURRICANE “NOEL” BY SAILING BACK AND FORTH.  ACROSS HER PATH. THE PURPOSE OF THIS MISSION IS TO USE THE WAKE OF THREE DESTROYERS SAILING PARALLEL TO DISTURBE THE WARM OCEAN SURFACE TO A DEPTH OF ONE METER. THIS URGENT MISSION WILL DEPRIVE “NOEL” OF THE SUSTAINING WATER TEMPERATURE, THEREBY REDUCING HER CATEGORY BACK TO A TROPICAL STORM OR TROPICAL DEPRESSION. WE WILL REMAIN ON SITE LONG ENOUGH TO ACCOMPLISH THE MISSION.

SUDDEN, UNANNOUNCED SPEED CHANGES AND SURGES MAY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO CREATE NECESSARY SURFACE TEMPERATURE REDUCTION.

WE WILL BE CROSSING “NOEL’S” PATH, TURN 180 DEGREES AND RECROSS HER PATH. THIS WILL BE REPEATED MANY TIMES UNTIL “NOEL” NO LONGER IS CLASSIFIED AS A HURRICANE.

It is easy and sensible to stop Noel.

Or would the high density of the northeast rather hunker down in fear and trembling until "Noel becomes another Katrina?"
