'Reconstructing' the storm with suction material

Picture 1 of 'Reconstructing' the storm with suction material Dyn-O-Mat, a Florida-based company, claims to have successfully manufactured the Dyn-O-Gel, a polymer that can draw water up to 1,500 times its weight.

This type of substance, when taken in the center of the storm, will remove moisture and reduce the energy of the storm, thereby reducing the wind and flooding capacity. After dropping, Dyn-O-Gel will be in the form of gel and harmless to the sea. According to the manufacturer, just $ 8 million to treat a storm by this therapy. The price is considered too cheap compared to the damage can be up to billions of dollars that each storm caused.

Peter Cordani, director of the company, pictured the planes dropping Dyn-O-Gel into the storms to take away their moisture and energy. " If you can slow down a storm about 12-15 miles per hour, you can reduce its level ," he said.

Cornadi's Dyn-O-Storm fires a hurricane 15 km off the coast of Palm Beach on July 19, 2001. It dropped the $ 40,000 Dyn-O-Gel into the rolling clouds. This type of powder has dried up the storm.

Kevin Sullivan, supervisor of the Palm Beach Air Traffic Control, supported that: " Everyone in the control tower saw a steady rise of clouds, and a few minutes later, it disappeared. " . A Miami-based weather radar station also detected the storm had lost moisture.

Cornadi's attempts to recall the US government's Stormfury Project, which ran from 1961 to 1980, were designed to alter the weather, but by the end of the project, it was not known whether the Does the plane spray the silver iodine crystal or not?

But Cordani says, " We have technologies that we did not have 40 years ago ." In addition to using silver iodine, the United States also fights with cement storms - capable of absorbing approximately the same amount of water, and in this way, the effect is only 1 / 1,500 times that of the Dyn-O-Gel.

Even so, Cordani's initiative is not very supportive. Some scientists claim that humans have underestimated the size and power of tropical cyclones, and that, according to them, storm control is useless.
