Yet Another Think Tank Strategy for Stopping a Hurricane, Perhaps a Tornado Too?


Over the years, our think tank has come up with many strategies to stop or kill a hurricane. It's a lot more difficult than you might imagine, as it's a lot easier to prevent one from forming then to stop one which has been fully formed and has gained significant momentum. Okay so let's talk about this for second shall we?
Back in 1962 the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratory came up with a concept to cut holes in the clouds, it was a rather interesting technique they used. Today, we have the ABL Airborne Laser 747 project being tested by Air Force Research Lab which could be used for essentially the same thing - only way more potent. Is it possible to use airborne lasers to cut holes in hurricanes?
The biggest problem is that hurricanes are constantly moving around, so you can't actually cut a hole in its side. But perhaps you could take three or four lasers lifting their angle vertically, and then back down again causing a jagged graph like effect disrupting the eye wall. If you could do that it would allow the trade winds access to the low pressure area in the center, and disrupt the eye wall while it was going through its reforming process. It could work.
Indeed, perhaps we should try just to see what happens. Perhaps we could do it through a simulator using a supercomputer CADCAM program which predicts the weather. We have the processing capability, and we do know a thing or two about hurricanes, we fully mapped several of the now. With this technology we could do a simulation and see if it would work.
Now then, could we use it to also knock down a tornado? What if we took an ABL on a C-130 platform following those areas where there were converging fronts and all of the necessary elements and components for tornado formation, and then flew around until we found a tornado and chopped it into pieces or caused it to separate, which would lift it up off the ground where it wouldn't do any huge amount of damage.
Drilling holes or slicing a tornado in half could really disrupt its structure thus, it should fall apart on its own, although it is massively powerful and creates its own airflows, it is inherently unstable and it only takes a little bit to disrupt it especially a small size funnel cloud. Indeed, I propose we practice on water spouts during the next Hurricane which brushes the shoreline causing such mini-tornados off shore. Indeed I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
