Hilarious. You accuse me of bringing up Star Trek (something I never did) yet you are the one conjuring pure BS about 'generators' that can control hurricanes. Once again, that is not only ludicrous but outright stupid.

And as for the 'variety of possibilities' that you claim you have for such a generator, well, we are still waiting for an elaboration on those myriad possibilities. Oh, and I am talking about viable stratagems for achieving what you claim to have a variety of possibilities for. And, to make it easier for you, it could be in any of the facets you mentioned. Thus it could be on how to focus 'generators' on the West Coast of Africa, how that generator would work, what energy source could power it, how it could track and control a hurricane, and how the potent forces that are in a hurricane could even be controlled.

Let others reflect on your, erm, insight.

Give the kid a break. He just read a new book and he wanna lay down the dirt onusall. As soon as he gets into some Randi fiction, he'll paint his ceiling with invisible paint and change all his quarters for choco-dollars from Long John Silvers. Then he won't bother us with his "Lazer Beeeem."

By the way, ridiculing him probably increases his self-esteem.

Nein, darling. I did not accuse you of bringing up Star Trek. But there is part of the problem exposed. And explaining anything further on this subject would end in your savaging of what I had said without your ever thinking beyond the tiny little frame of reference you have received through your education. I should rather explain the merits of British imperial rule to a Mau Mau insurrectionist thank you.

For the sake of closure, the power for such a generator in conventional thinking would come from the sun, forces and elements carried in the solar wind, and the earth's magnetosphere in isolation and in conjuction with the solar wind. The obvious platforms for harnessing such forces, again thinking in conventional terms, are orbital - both near Earth and eccentric. But we are not simply talking about conventional approaches or the little tinker toys of college physics or engineering courses. We are not talking about the stuff of published papers and little professors eagerly seeking tenure. We are talking about what has remained under development and underground, in the major powers, since the time of the Manhattan Project.

Enjoy.
