Abstract: Methods and systems for promoting precipitation from moisture-bearing atmospheric formations are described. A composition comprising a precipitation stimulating material and a volatile liquid agent is located on an aircraft and subject to one or more aircraft-generated pressures during aspersion. A first pressure is a pressure for expelling the composition from the aircraft. A second pressure results from combination between air and aircraft velocity. A third pressure is an ascending pressure resulting from expelling the composition from the aircraft at a lift portion location of the aircraft where only a lift force is applied to the aircraft during flight.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for using liquid nitrogen to render crises safe, as in circumstances of hostage crises, entering Methamphetamine labs, purging the accumulating toxic or flammable gases, ending the dispersal of substances from aerosols and capturing the material dispersed by condensing it and sealing it in containers for disposal, picking up spills by solidifying them or gelling the material and containing it for disposal—this includes Mercury spills, sealing and repairing broken pipes and dikes and dams, enabling a combustion engine to quit running, changing the conditions in a weather system to counter funnel formation in a tornado threat, strengthening levee structures by freezing the core for the length of the levee when severe crises occur, rapid cooling lava flows to structure the solid lava formation to something useful in that location, purging the coalmine fire environment of Oxygen to quell the long-term blaze, and treating industrial stack gas to useful soot, water and Carbon dioxide componen

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for reducing the intensity of hurricanes are described herein. A method may include positioning a fleet of submersibles in an area of ocean through which at least a portion of a hurricane's central core will pass within a predetermined amount of time. The submersibles are maneuvered to a depth greater than a depth of a thermocline in this area of ocean. The submersibles maintain their station and depth for a finite amount of time, during which they may release a gas to form bubble plumes which rise toward the ocean's surface. The bubble plumes entrain and upwell cold sub-thermocline water toward the surface of the ocean to cool the surface of the ocean. The cooled ocean surface reduces the intensity of the hurricane whose portion of central core passes through the cooled area.

Abstract: A method for mitigating or preventing a major air disturbance comprising a fluid stream, preferably heated, adjacent to the earth's surface and orienting it upwardly in the vicinity or potential vicinity of a major air disturbance in order to in part move lower level air upwardly to cool the surface of the earth, including the sea. The displacement of atmospheric air by the upwardly directed stream diminishes the strength or potential strength of major air disturbances.

Abstract: A marine water conversion apparatus capable of pumping ocean surface water several hundred feel below the surface to cause sufficient cooler water to rise to the surface to prevent formation of or to moderate hurricanes. The apparatus is remotely controlled and includes a propulsion system for moving it to a new location or in predetermined patterns through use of a global positioning system and computerized controls. Power for driving the pumps may be provided by a wind turbine driven electric generator at the upper end of an upper tube section pivotally connected to a float tank on a vertical axis.

Abstract: The hard fact of physics is that water on the surface of the ocean will not evaporate by significant amounts after being treated with the introduction of ample amounts of liquid air. If you can keep a layer of air at less that +30° F. on the surface of the ocean the existing vapor will condensate before it reaches an elevation of one foot. This vapor will remain ‘trapped’ there as long as temperature conditions are maintained and the surrounding air does not warm significantly. When significant amounts of liquid air are injected onto the ocean surface the subsequent temperature of the air will stay between ?330° F. and +30° F. for eight to twenty hours.

Abstract: A self-sufficient material property profile regulation method and system, for adjusting fluid property profiles such as in an ocean of multiple property layers, is described. Using this Fluid Property Regulator, the property profiles of a non-enclosed material, including property profiles related to material density, chemical characteristics and space-time position, are affected due to motion of the material relative to a body in the flow stream. The state of other matter with which the initial material then makes direct or indirect contact is also affected. For example, in the case of a liquid such as an ocean current, the temperature, salinity, nutrient content and other properties may be destratified (i.e. layers being combined) as the system lifts large quantities of deep water and combines this material with surface water in the downstream far-field region of the system.

The system comprises superconducting donuts not requiring cryogenic cooling for producing magnetic fields, high permeability posts mounted on the ground in positions at the center of the donuts for developing artificial lightning that can be directed toward the tornado or adjacent clouds to remove energy from the tornado or hurricane.

Abstract: An elongated pipe conduit snow making tower, and assembly method, having an upper end spray nozzle head and pivotally supported on a support pipe for vertical inclination by a hydraulic ram jack enabling infinite non-preselected incremental inclinations. A ram safety latch automatically latch/catches the tower pipe if the jack leaks. Secondary and tertiary external flexible water hoses are selectable to feed associated spray head snowmaking nozzles, and an internal compressed air conduit feeds spray head seeding nozzles. Secondary and tertiary ball valve assemblies mounted on a water feed block are outlet coupled to their respective hoses. In drain condition turbulent primary water continually washes against a valve ball flow closure side for an anti-freezing effect. The spray head is a four-piece modular planar stack up of disks each carrying spray nozzles that all discharge forwardly away from the pipe tower in generally parallel spray patterns.

Abstract: The invention turns a hurricane/tropical cyclone into a tropical rainstorm by spraying a super coolant such as liquid oxygen, or liquid hydrogen, or liquid nitrogen, or other super cold liquid gas around the top of the eye wall and additionally if needed, into the front of the eye wall, or forming eye wall using aircraft with pre-measured amounts of super coolant. Based on actual results, a real time computer system will be developed to enable communications between aircraft and control the amount of super coolant dispersed. The result of the invention will reduce/eliminate the damage to life and property due to high winds and storm surge as well as the staggering costs for rebuilding.

Abstract: A tower has a concrete base (14) supported within the Earth and a frame (5) extending vertically from the base into the atmosphere. A ground conductor (12) runs alongside the frame. A first ground rod (10) is driven into the Earth and is connected to the ground conductor to charge the ground conductor electrically negative. A second ground rod (10) extending vertically above the frame is connected to the ground conductor to be charged electrically negative. A positive conductor (21) running alongside the frame is connected to a positively charged generator (16).

Abstract: The invention reduces the pressure differential between the eye and the body of a storm thereby degrading a storm. A pipeline with sealed ends is placed in a violent storm, with one end at the high-pressure body and one end at the low-pressure eye. Controllable valves open the pipeline once the low and high-pressure ends are above water level. Air from the high-pressure end flows through the pipeline to reach the eye of the storm thereby establishing equilibrium. Alternate embodiments decrease pressure differential by positioning storage tanks of compressed gasses to inject air or other gas into the eye or low-pressure region of the storm.
