Supersonic Hurricane Neutralizer

Yessi Pratiwi — December 3, 2008 / 8:31 pm

dn16172-1_5501.png Due to human needs to minimize the damage effect of hurricanes or typhoons, the scientists at the University of Akron in Ohio are now developing a new technology. The researchers led by Arkadii Leonov, came with the idea of converting the destructive power of the storm into heat energy from warm oceans into damaging kinetic energy in the atmosphere.

In the research, they told to NewScientist, there will be a certain efficiency if the technology that is being developed succeed. Leonov says that they can put a spanner in the atmospheric works by flying supersonic jet aircraft in concentric circles around a hurricane’s eye. The complex air flows and other atmospheric “machinery” that produce this prodigious power are surprisingly delicate.

See the complete report here, for the complete sonic boom hurricane application.
