  • Hurricanes are just made up of clouds and wind moving in a certain pattern…so could we use a nuclear weapon to disrupt that wind enough to stop them?

      Some one should make a Sci-fi Story were A Earth Dimension actually Nukes Hurricanes. Maybe like Hitlers Germany if they won. Or Like the Russia Nation in history that doesn't care about Lives very much. So when they have World Power. They decided to Nuke all Hurricanes. this may be an interesting story Plot or story element/lore.

      Common myth. Simple isn't true. We didn't have enough nukes to wipe out humanity alone, even if we tried, during the cold war. And we have a lot less nukes now.
      Click read more if you would like to see an excerpt that debunks the myth.
      "Facts: Statements that the U.S. and the Soviet Union have the power to kill the world's population several times over are based on misleading calculations. One such calculation is to multiply the deaths produced per kiloton exploded over Hiroshima or Nagasaki by an estimate of the number of kilotons in either side's arsenal. (A kiloton explosion is one that produces the same amount of energy as does 1000 tons of TNT.) The unstated assumption is that somehow the world's population could be gathered into circular crowds, each a few miles in diameter with a population density equal to downtown Hiroshima or Nagasaki, and then a small (Hiroshima-sized) weapon would be exploded over the center of each crowd. Other misleading calculations are based on exaggerations of the dangers from long-lasting radiation and other harmful effects of a nuclear war."

The problem is just that it's not a big enough disruption, and far too radioactive to be safe.

      @Tonatsi 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Minhchau Nguyen that was actually once attempted, and obviously intended to be counter engineered into a tsunami creator for the military, but the problem is that it is incredibly difficult to create an explosive that can equally create a wall of tsunami in the same direction, as opposed to a normal omnidirectional explosive, and even then, the amount of energy that can be imparted by most known explosive substances cannot release enough total energy into the surrounding water to have a lasting effect on anything larger than a paddle pool.
      The fish would still die from the shockwave though; since water is mostly non-compressible, at least on small timescales.

    I personally always thought of Placing in known seed areas..
    Sleeved coolers.
    The Shell; bee wings texture to basically pool the air further through.
    The inside; Basically tubes glued together. So that air gets very organized and thus. Cooler.
    With that wind becoming colder.. it will weaken the eye wall a bit.
    If I was going to go IA here..
    I'd add and element that uses that wind as a powersource.
    For an ultrasound speaker modulated to have the Eyewall with an infrasound. Thus cooling it a bit, by making the molecules organize.
    Or better.. blow liquid Nitrogen it.

    This may sound crazy but in 1970 we had hurricane Celia. I was living in Corpus Christi at the time.
    The wind blows about 40 miles per hour there most of the time and if the wind get up to 70~90 miles per hour that wouldn't be much different.
    I remember the company let us go home at 12:00 noon. I drove down Ocean Drive to my cousin's house to ride out the storm. I remember seeing some white caps on the water but nothing looked any different than any other day. The weather department said it would hit about 4:00PM.
    I also heard on the AM radio that the weather department was going to drop silver iodide crystals in the storm in hopes to make it rain out or kill the hurricane.
    Between 12:00 to 4:30 all hell broke out. The wind gust got up to 160 MPH. It blew the water tower down in Portland, TX and blew the weather equipment at one of the refinery. Their last reading was 165 mph.
    Not another word was said about the weather bureau trying to kill that storm. About 10 years later when I moved to Houston I talked to another ham radio operator that lived in Corpus at that time and heard the same story. Since then I have heard another person verifying the same thing.
