RE: Busting hurricanes with ocean cooling pumps
@WSHbaker, you have shot down a good idea with a halfway thought out
objection. What happens when several tons of water land on top of
something, in this case more water? It displaces whatever it lands
on. Water at the top displaces the water that it lands on and since
the sleeves keep the water from displacing out from under the new
water, it has to go somewhere. It can't go up and it can't go out;
where will it go, thanks to gravity and the fact that water cannot
be compressed very much? Oh, and since water seeks the lowest
level, it won't surge up and out of the tubes. It is more than
heavy enough to push the water out the bottom of the tube,
regardless of temperature.
It doesn't have to be efficient and it doesn't have to displace
pound for pound. It just has to be relentless, like waves.
