Real Life Science Fiction

Please sell me stock in this company.

Four out of the five Atlantic storms occurring so far this year have become major tempests. This is unprecedented. But spraying hurricanes with chemicals from airplanes in hopes of sapping their strength is not. Despite official denials, there is evidence that Hurricane Frances was attacked by cloud-seeding airplanes as it approached the Florida panhandle.

Everyone knows about cloud-seeding: dropping silver iodide or other moisture-clumping nuclei into clouds from airplanes to make it rain. In the USA, scientific efforts to subvert hurricanes the United States stretch back to 1947. Today, licensed companies perform this service routinely across America and around the world.

One company in Jupiter Beach, Florida pledges “to protect humanity worldwide from hurricanes and typhoons.”

Dyn-O-Mat CEO Peter Cordani Peter Cordani thinks his sponge-like Dyn-O-Gel can soak up enough water around the central eyewall of a rapidly revolving tropical storm to weaken or destroy it. The idea is to sap hurricanes of their moisture-driven potential, causing these rapidly revolving storms to lose strength, become unbalanced and fly apart.

Because the destructive force of winds increases with the square of wind speed, even a small reduction in wind velocity could significantly decrease damage and the threat to lives on the ground.

In an experiment On July 19, 2001a chartered B-57 Canberra jet bomber dropping Dyn-O-Gel off West Palm Beach removed a building thunderstorm completely from the sky - a first-ever feat documented by Doppler radar
In September 2004, the western sector of oncoming Hurricane Frances disintegrated as it came into contact with a massive “dry zone” between the Bahamas and Florida. Emerging from the dry area, Frances reformed, slowed dramatically and missed Miami, unexpectedly hooking into millionaire homes lining West Palm Beach..
