Why can't we defeat storms with atomic bombs?

According to a source attending the meeting between the US President and officials responsible for national security, Mr. Donald Trump suggested using nuclear bombs to dispel storms. Almost immediately we realize how bad this idea is, it's so bad that Mr. Trump immediately asserted he never said that. However, Axios, the source of the incident, said they had a tape.

In the past, scientists who worked for the US government under President Eisenhower (tenure 1953-1961) once asked such questions, but soon they realized that plan was impossible. The idea has been as volatile as stocks all along, and according to Axios, Donald Trump once again raised the 'initiative'.

Atomic bombs are still not strong enough to repel the power of nature.

Many times scientists have confirmed that this idea could not come true, because the atomic bomb is still not strong enough to deflect the power of nature, and the pressure from the explosion is not enough to drive the pressure. air for more than a few seconds.

This is how a storm formed

When hot and humid air rises, it will radiate energy, causing thunderstorms, weak lightning storms known as thundershower . By the time enough lightning storms, the wind in this area will swirl up and outward, forming a tornado full of rage. In the top area, the clouds will form in clumps and the air will get hotter and thicker.

The wind continues to swirl, contributing to the formation of a low pressure area on the surface of the sea. This is also the reason for a cyclone.

Any element that causes a storm to weaken - whether it is warm air or a low pressure area, the storm will significantly weaken and dissipate. Based on this fact, in 1959, meteorologist Jack Reed proposed the idea of ​​defeating storms with nuclear weapons.

Mr. Reed made the assumption that a nuclear explosion would stop the storm by pushing hot air out of the eye, allowing cold air to enter. He also gave two ideas of dropping bombs into the eye of the storm, saying that this was easy to do.

The first, the most obvious way would be to drop bombs from the air, the second would need a submarine. A means of getting under the storm to launch into the center of the storm will be the most effective and safer way.

The National Oceanic and Meteorological Commission (NOAA) presents the two biggest obstacles preventing the idea of ​​'other people' from becoming a reality.

Storm is a huge energy block, nuclear bombs seep into?

In a storm that has grown to its peak, every 20 minutes it will release the energy equivalent of a 10 megaton atomic explosion. That's 666 times more energy than the Little Boy atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945.

The data already exists, the calculation shows that to use the bomb to destroy the storm, we will have to drop the bomb into the storm at a rate of 2,000 Little Boy per hour, drop continuously until the storm melts.

The Tsar Bomba is the most powerful nuclear bomb ever to explode on the surface of the Earth, but the 50 megaton hydrogen bomb, tested by Russians on the surface of the Arctic Ocean, is still too small before the wrath of nature.

Smoke from the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.

Moreover, when the great pressure from the bomb exploded in the eye of the storm spread out, everything would be back there. Unless we can constantly bomb the eye, we will not be able to balance where the low pressure air is continuously energizing the storm.

And worse, the consequences of an atomic bomb are too great

It seems that Mr. Jack Reed has not considered the fallout phenomenon , when the radioactive material emanating from the explosion enters the atmosphere. Hurricane winds will soon bring the effects of the fallout away; In other words, when a nuclear bomb is thrown into a storm, the storm will not melt, but it will amplify the impact of the bomb many times.

When a person is exposed to enough radiation, the body's cells will lose their ability to repair themselves, and your body will gradually disintegrate under the influence of radiation.

Humans will not be able to live in contaminated soil, the natural environment in the area will be severely affected. If you are wondering about the effect of radiation on the environment, just look at Chernobyl and understand.

The NOAA scientific report concluded briefly: ' Needless to say, this is clearly not a good idea '.
