What is a solution for a hurricane?
1. Problem: Hurricanes. Solution: Wave-powered vessel that cools the surface of the ocean. Using “hurricane suppression technology,” the goal is to reduce the storms’ power by cooling the ocean’s surface and mixing it with the cold water sitting 100 to 300 feet below.
How do you tame a hurricane?
Hurricane Taming Techniques
- Seeding hurricane clouds with silver iodide, to cause freezing and disruption of the inner structure of the hurricane.
- Nuclear bombs.
- Pumping surface warm water to the bottom of the ocean.
- Spreading substances to prevent evaporation.
Are hurricanes necessary?
Although it is hard to see the silver lining of hurricanes, they actually do play a necessary role in keeping the earth’s atmosphere balanced. Hurricanes help to move heat from the warm equatorial regions toward the cold polar regions. Hurricanes also provide 20\% – 25\% of rainfall in certain areas of the world.
What can the government do to prevent hurricanes?
Locate shelters in areas not subject to flooding and on transportation routes not subject to flooding. Pre-position supplies and staff. Shelter workers will also not be available once the storm starts. Have a Plan B and C.
Can windmills stop hurricanes?
A new study finds that large offshore wind farms could reduce the rainfall from hurricanes, lessening their damaging impact. They not only provide clean carbon-free electricity to combat climate change, they could also lessen the impact of more powerful, damaging hurricanes that warming oceans are said to cause.
How do hurricanes end?
As the pressure at the center rises the force caused by the pressure differences (pressure gradient force) drops. This causes the wind speed to drop. The whole things becomes a feedback loop and eventually the hurricane will dissipate.
Why do hurricanes form over water?
Tropical cyclones are like giant engines that use warm, moist air as fuel. That is why they form only over warm ocean waters near the equator. The warm, moist air over the ocean rises upward from near the surface. Because this air moves up and away from the surface, there is less air left near the surface.
