Geo-engineering to save us from AGW ping...................
Just watch, this will be the very thing that ends up destroying the earth!
Betcha.
Just wait until George Noory gets hold of this story.
Awwh man this bites.
You balloon-hosing RETARDS! Stop embarrassing us Brits on Free Republic!
Anyway: these fools should just re-use the gigantic balloons the people in the Medieval Warm Period used to cool the planet.
Or the equally massive balloons used by the Romans.
Or the one used by the Minoans. Why reinvent the wheel?
They should just tether the water hose to Al Gore...
...he’s a giant hot-air balloon.
What DUMBASSES!
Even if GW was a real threat, this is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what should be done, as the primary “greenhouse gas” in our atmosphere is WATER VAPOR!
Going to take a LOT of power to lift a column of water 1 km high. And you cant use light materials either due to the pressure. At 1 mile, the pressure is 2,400 psi.
I’m thinking you would be better to have two lines to the ballon and a crawler system where a “pod” lifts 1 gallon crawling up to the ballon and deposits it’s gallon into a small tank and then crawls down the other line back to the ship. The line can supply the support and the power. Mulitple crawlers can keep a supply of water up at the ballon.
A parody, right ? Please, God .... tell me it’s a parody.
Gee, what could possibly go wrong?
Just give everyone on an airplane a bottle of water and then open the windows and pour the water out.
2.) When the water spray exits from the top it will freeze up the nozzle...
3). In any case the rate of flow through such a long water pipe is misiscule
4). Even if none of the above....the ambient temperature is so low the water will freeze
....>Most would agree that we do have a problem on our hands, the Earth is slowly growing warmer<.....
Most WHAT would agree? The problem we have is the loony left trying to tax every breath we take.
These closet intellectuals know as much about physics as Odumbass does about the Auto industry.
As mentioned above, the pumping pressures and requisite pipe mass makes this unworkable. Not to mention it will actually increase the atmosphere’s greenhouse effect if they somehow inject enough water vapor.
I don’t believe any pump exists that can do this.
I would like for them to take their little balloon and drop some water over Texas. My land, in particular.
Sounds like a load of tosh to me, but nonetheless I prefer potential methods of climate change ‘control’ that involve balloons and hosepipes rather than ones that include huge fuel taxes and me having to sell my V8’s! :)
It’s like the glue and paper the teacher gave the dumb kids.
Not useful, but it keeps them occupied.
Otherwise, they’re disruptive.
A much better idea makes a lot more sense. A California airship company created plans to make a firefighting airship that would make a superb complement to the helicopters and fixed wing aircraft used today.
This is both because an airship can carry a much greater load of water, and it doesn’t have to drop it all at once, but can do the equivalent of a very heavy rainfall either directly on a fire or to create a wet barrier to a fire. It can also descend a fire hose, guided by wires, to drop its water offset from any heat column rising from the fire.
Unfortunately the company went out of business before they could build the prototype.
