Potential solution to the Gulf oil leak: don't cap it, plug it!

[BL4NDY]

This was a volcano to begin with , there is a lot of dis information out there and your all falling for it , As for it being rubber, this is just showing you how easy it is to plug the hole, no one said it had to be made out of rubber, I'm waitin for your next comment that what he has is way to small for the hole ..... ,,Good work guys looks like a plan ....

[puffadderbite]

any kind of rubber down there will warp and crack and crumble.

Thanks for your idea! We've all got to keep trying! -see mine @ reinievideo (youtube)

Question. How far down is there a pipe? How far did they drill from the bottom of the sea until they struck oil? I think the solution will center on a seal material and a way of applying it with a metal cap etc.

Maybe put a metal hose down it and release some material that expands almost instantly thereby plugging it permanently. But then how would they get the oil out for us to use in our cars?

[JustCaLLMeDp]

this is all fine and dandy but did anyone think about what happens to the oil/pressure once it's blocked? it doesnt just stand still once its clogged up. i.e. where does the oil go if not forward? backward into the earth?

[anddestro]

instead of plugging it , with similar thoughts to this idea, why not but a hose up to it and then the oil can continue along this large hose that can be attached to the pipe line.

[bigstjustinbieberfan]

@anddestro Good idea the top of our cone can have an attachment to provide a means to connect a hose and a valve to open up once the leak is plugged

[glenanimals]

if you deside to use my idear which will 100% work

you owe me 50 millon doller

yeah i dont come cheep !

[glenanimals]

ther must be someone in the world thats is makeing a big ciment brige

and has a ciment arch ready for you that you can use

[glenanimals]

the size is a problem

you have to make a club shap ciment block

i guess 1020 feet by 1020 length

hight hmmmm i guess equil in high

[glenanimals]

well you can always make a ciment brige arch

a very big one made of ciment with air chamber's on the inside of the arch

the arch will flot on water untel you fill in with water

then the arch will slowey sick the weight should be enough to stop the oil prusher

or any leak you also can make a hole in the middle of the arch so you can capture the oil

[bigstjustinbieberfan]

@glenanimals Little faith in someone who spells cement ciment

[glenanimals]

@bigstjustinbieberfan im not english

[glenanimals]

@bigstjustinbieberfan i tell you what im shore the guys who work for BP

have PHD and masters

and they cant fix a toilet ,they are there the ones that got them self into this mess

and they cant fix it,what shame they must feel knowing that i can up with the idear

to fix the problem

i guess there EGO cant take it

and all your schooling has fail you bad spelling and all

[Judy101101]

pressure is the problem, it didn't look like it stopped that small hose, how will it stop a massive pressured well?

[bigstjustinbieberfan]

@Judy101101 In case you missed the meat of the idea we have thousands of pounds of weight pushing down on the hole Big piece of the puzzle. Compared to hand pressure and FYI it really did stop 80 PSI completely

[Judy101101]

@bigstjustinbieberfan it will take more weight of pressure then what is coming out of that hole is only my point.  how much pressure is coming out and how much pressure are you pushing down on it?

[bigstjustinbieberfan]

@Judy101101 it did indeed stop a hose with 60-80 psi which if you have efer tried is very hard.

With thousands of pounds of force from a plug weighing tons that gusher is a gonner and will stop easily!!! its the shape and weight that makes it work--think about it!

[Judy101101]

@bigstjustinbieberfan I think the problem is even worse then we first thought. they can't block it because it's more like a volcano now, if you block it from the top the pressure will open up surrounding area's - there is cracks on the floor of the ocean where they think it will come out. even blowing that sucker up might cause more problems.

[sasktank]

good idea -- but with only 300 views --noone will know about it---youll need 10-15 million views---get the vid to the media

[anchanaarlene]

Think about it, two relief wells being drilled....both into the production zone (same as the first that blew) why not drill down a couple of thousand feet only, beside the drill stem in place already and set a charge to collapse the leaking casing and/or drill pipe and produce through the new one if it does not shut down the old well? The almighty BP does not want to loose this well because it is all about money spent and now money recovery.

[anchanaarlene]

BP is not trying to stop the flow, they are trying to produce it.

[bigstjustinbieberfan]

@anchanaarlene Exactly why they cant stop it because they are trying to produce it. They care too much about capturing revenue and not enough about the environment to stop this tragedy

[florin604]

omg an engineer and an inventor, both from almighty USA, clueless to the fact that the pipe has two (2!) drilling pipes stuck inside the main pipe, and it;s bent

delete your video please... it/s useless

[bigstjustinbieberfan]

@florin604---Thanks for your comments--Even if it had 10 pipes stuck inside each other --this remedy would surely work. Also unless the pipe was bent to more than a 90 degree angle --which it is only a few degrees-- this remedy is perfect. They also have robots down there if needed--They shouldn't be!!

Thanks for your help

[bigstjustinbieberfan]

@florin604 By the way Mr Negative the inventor and engineer you are talking about are very successful professionals from Canada --Matters not where a good idea comes from--Does it?

[florin604]

@bigstjustinbieberfan it's still a useless idea, from clueless ppl

[bigstjustinbieberfan]

@florin604 Hey brainwave AKA Mr negative what is your idea since it seems you have nothing to offer the world except negativity

[bigstjustinbieberfan]

no bubble bursted thank you-- we are talking about stopping the vast majority of oil gushing from the drill pipe

[mindrapeart]

i'd hate to burst your bubble but the oil is also coming out of the ocean floor.
