I just love how ego maniacs think they can micro manage every thing! Jerseytropics comments are right on ! Safer houses that can deal or rise above storm surge covered with solar "paint" would be far more cost effective and safer.
@astrialkil Building safer houses is certainly a good thing at least for people who can afford it. But you will need also to protect the economy around your houses - agriculture, industry and infrastructure.
I'd love to see the project having such a quantitative impact :-) Investing in renewable energies is very important, but there's a long way to go from today's fossil energy usage to a point, where global warming is reversed. What is the humanitarian and ECOLOGICAL toll of tropical storms yearly damaging coastal regions? It's huge - yet we will have such destruction for many years to come. Producing clean energy while caring for people and resources (land!) wisely is just the core of the project.
@SwissInvent What a load of twaddle. 1. The design is NOT cylone-proof. Rough seas will DESTRY it. 2. The quantity of cold water would be huge. 3. Cold water sinks. You cold H2O would soon sink and be covered by warm H2O on a LOCAL scale smaller than a Cyclone. 4. DO NOT go back to the drawing board. Move to within 8 degrees of the equator where there are no Cyclones.
@listen2meokidoki The clip is an artist's visualization of a concept - I like it very much. It has little to do with technical design. The way cold water has to be introduced on the surface would need research to optimize damping. It occurs naturally, when cyclones pass through an area, where the sea surface was cooled by rain. Finally, don't worry, about me wasting time on the drawing board, there is no funding. Maybe all money is going in to your huge population relocation project :-)
@SwissInvent Your assuming man has caused all these storms, they had bad storms in the 1500 before industrial pollution. the storms happen in-spite of man not because of him.
Pumping up cold seawater would only be done when tropical storm conditions indicate it. If geothermal energy would be produced too, close circuits could re-insert the water at the respective extraction site. Coastal regions (Caulerpa taxifolia) are not affected, the platforms would operate offshore. When dispersing water to damp tropical storms, a lowered surface temperature would mean slower algae growth too. Albedo enhancing would be a future side effect if thousands of platforms are deployed.
