ABSTRACT 10/24/07 This machine and method of operation are patent pending. Hurricanes have four essential elements, a central low pressure, wind, humid air, and structure. If one or more of these essential elements are removed the hurricane will cease to exist. Lets look at each of the four essential elements and try to determine which one is the easiest to remove. Starting with humid air - its my opinion humid air can not be removed from a hurricane system. I would rate removing humid air from a hurricane system as the least likely to happen. Next there is wind, trying to remove the wind from a hurricane system is near impossible, there is to much of it. I would rate removing the wind from a hurricane system almost as unlikely as removing humid air. Next there is structure, it to is nearly impossible to remove because hurricane systems are so big. That leaves the central low pressure. The central low pressure is the weak spot. What if we could use all four of the essential elements of a hurricane to help get rid of one essential element of a hurricane? What if we could use the wind, humid air, central low pressure, and structure to remove the central low pressure? With the central low pressure removed rotation around the center will end and the hurricane will cease to exist. It is the primary goal of this machine to remove the central low pressure of the hurricane system, the machine would accomplish this ambitious task in four primary ways. 1) The machine would divert the hurricane eyewall into and away from the hurricane eye. 2) The machine would slow down the air in the eyewall allowing the low pressure in the eye to suck it in. 3) The machine would mechanically blow air from the eyewall to the eye. 4) The machine would cause different parts of the eyewall to turn at different rates. When the humid air from the eyewall goes into the eye it expands in the low pressure both vertically and horizontally, it slows down, it raises the air pressure in localized parts of the eye, as the air pressure in localized parts of the eye goes up the wind in localized parts of the eyewall turns less. (see drawing 4) Also when the humid air from the eyewall enters the low pressure in the eye it expands and cools, convection occurs in the eye, a strong draft is established into the eye and the hurricane will implode . THE MACHINE The machine is a ship, (see drawings below) the ship has four torpedo shaped hulls. Each hull has four rotating thrusters on it. The upper part of the ship is a V shaped turbo charged wedge, each side of the V has three fan tubs stacked vertically. Inside each fan tub there are three high speed fans. The fans accelerate the air in the fan tubs to 1200 MPH. There is a air intake in the front of the machine and nozzles in the rear of the machine. The nozzles are adjustable. There is a adjustable rear wing.   METHOD OF OPERATION Turn on the fans. With the front of the ship facing the wind sail the ship into the hurricane eye. The machine starts working from the center of the storm and moves out into the eyewall. With the fans turned on and the rear wing angled down, use the thrusters to move the ship sideways into the eyewall. (drawing 3) Hold the machine in that position until the eye and eyewall begin to become distorted. The wedge shape of the machine and the air coming out of the nozzles diverts the eyewall into and away from the center. The rear wing forces air from above the machine down into the extreme low pressure created when the eyewall is diverted. (HOLDING THE MACHINE IN THE EYEWALL - The air being sucked into the air intake pulls the machine forward. The air being blown out of the nozzles pushes the machine forward, The thrusters push the machine forward and sideways. The nozzles pivot left to right and open and close to help control the machine.) When the eyewall and eye begin to become distorted move the machine further into the eyewall. ( drawing 4 ) A continues connection should be maintained between the machine and the eye. Keep moving the machine further into the eyewall. The eyewall on the upwind side of the machine turns at a greater rate than the eyewall on the down wind side of the machine. ( g and h in drawing 4 ) As the air from the eyewall enters the low pressure in the distorted eye it expands both vertically and horizontally, the air cools, convection occurs in the eye, a strong draft is established into the eye, and the hurricane implodes. All that would be left is a big thunderstorm out in the middle of the ocean. If the storm reforms hit it again. CONCLUSION By using the hurricanes own forces, the wind of the eyewall, the central low pressure, the humid air, and the structure of the storm, combined with this machine it might be possible to stop hurricanes from wrecking large parts of America. This machine and method of operation are designed to get rid of the small percentage of hurricanes that are forecasted to make landfall, hurricanes that are not forecasted to make landfall should be left alone.
