About Those Patents
Weather Manipulation Is More Sci-Fi Than Real
You likely caught an image in yesterday’s piece of a list of 7 patents under the heading: WEATHER MANIPULATION. Surely this is true, right? There are PATENTS for these things!!!!
Before I go through each of the 7 patents for you, let’s set this in context with a statement from “X” user Kyle Seraphin:
The thing I love about X is how many people are pop-up experts on extremely complicated science... and have zero knowledge of history.
Apparently, (per X anons) the US won the Vietnam War with "Operation Popeye" increasing rains and flooding tunnels. Someone should tell the VC we won!
Also, an ionosphere heating project that is not classified in ALASKA can also steer hurricanes to the GPS coordinates of lithium mines... but also Tampa... because...
Dr. Evil runs "the Government" aka the monolithic incompetent clown show that employs 3.5M Americans who ALL know how to keep their mouths shut (because they are in on it).
ALSO, the US did Project Cirrus to try to "freeze the nuclei" of a hurricane... and "dumped several pounds of crushed dry ice into the storm."
For all of you who think you live in a Bond movie - it is time to fire the writers in your head. Maybe lift some weights, carry a ruck, upgrade your training and fitness and tuck in.
You are ABOUT to live in a much more scary movie than fantasy "government" weather weapons.
That is all.
With that ‘ice breaker’ now on to the patents. You’ll notice about them that:
They are mostly theoretical, non-functional plans
They are intended to aid study of weather events, and…
They are intended to limit - not intensify - weather events.
METHOD of ARTIFICIALLY INFLUENCING the WEATHER:
This is the infamous “Cloud Seeding” idea, which is intended to help agricultural communities in need of rain during drought conditions by “turning undercooled clouds into ice particles for the purpose of generating a rainfall and of preventing the formation of hail by seeding the said clouds with ice-forming nuclei.” The “seeding” happens through aircraft or, more dramatically, by “rockets or artillery missiles” and “the explosion of an explosive charge.”
Credit the folks trying to help farmers watching their corn wilt in the fields, but let’s not demonize them as “Killer Storm” Conjurors.
HURRICANE and TORNADO CONTROL DEVICE:
This one sounds compelling… literally, as the plan is to dispatch “mega generators to produce high decibel sound waves, which sound waves are projected toward the clouds and rotating winds which form the low atmosphere systems. In one scenario, the high frequency sound waves will function to disrupt and slow the rotating winds, thereby preventing a hurricane or tornado from forming. In another scenario, the high frequency sound waves will function to enhance the rotation of the winds, thereby causing a hurricane or tornado to form. The inventive concept also incorporates utilization of high decibel sound waves to alter the direction of the low atmosphere systems, thereby determining the path of the potential hurricane or tornado.”
A few questions, though. How could these “mega generators” be brought to bear upon a potential storm? How many ships carrying how many of these generators would be needed to conjure up a hurricane? Are these ships just waiting around, ready to go at a moment’s notice? And will these big speakers really impact, direct, or steer a storm like this? How can enough power be brought to bear to push around a storm like this one?
METHOD for DECREASING the INTENSITY and FREQUENCE of TROPICAL STORMS or HURRICANES
Uh-oh! This one is an attempt to protect people from storms, not target them. How did this one make the list, I wonder?
The goal is to reduce the severity of storms by cooling the water in, let’s say, the Gulf of Mexico by deploying submarines equipped with devices that churn the layers of the water, raising cooler water to the surface. One imagines the need for hundreds of such-outfitted submarines.
Clearly, the people who thought this one up are simply not cruel enough to be hired by Blackrock.
APPARATUS and METHOD for INHIBITING the FORMATION of TROPICAL CYCLONES
Double “Uh-oh!” Batman! This invention comes from non-evil people too! And it uses a long pipe in the ocean to direct cooler water to the surface.
Got to jettison this plan… again, just not evil enough to make the final cut.
METHOD to INFLUENCE the DIRECTION of TRAVEL of HURRICANES
Strap in, folks. This one gets explosive! Literally! As the plan is to blow up enough of the storm to influence its path:
… blasting explosion waves of non-nuclear high-power propellant fuel missiles thrown in vertical perpendicular alignment against the routing of the steering wind current…
And the inventor says to repeat the explosive process for as long as it takes to steer the storm.
This is just sci-fi trash.
HELICAL ARTIFICIAL GENERATOR of TORNADO, HURRICANE, YELLOW DUST, and TYPHOON
Remember the kid at the 6th grade science fair whose dad helped him construct a clear acrylic box and inside he induced spinning water vapor?
Yeah, that! The kid always won a ribbon!! But guess what? It requires a closed and controlled environment, like the acrylic box, and last I checked, nobody has dropped a big box like that in the middle of Florida to generate a twister!
On to the last item on this list of quackery…
PROPOGATING SOUND THROUGH BODIES of WATER to PRODUCE and DIRECT WIND for MANAGING AERIAL WEATHER SYSTEMS
I confess to a certain affection for this idea, though I cannot explain why…
It proposes the use of soundwaves within water to generate waves on the water surface of such intensity as to generate wind that counters the winds of the storm.
Got that?
Sound waves below the water surface to make waves at the water surface to make wind of such power as to kill the wind in a hurricane.
Of course I love it!!!!
I hope this review has helped to dispel the urge to believe the science fiction that human beings control weather and conjure up killer storms.
It’s been my pleasure to bring this to you.
You’re welcome.

"Clearly, the people who thought this one up are simply not cruel enough to be hired by Blackrock."
That one got a chuckle out of me.
