Hurricanes. Our Next Power Source
The world's brightest scientist, Neil DeGrasse Tyson wants to harness hurricanes for electricity.
Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson had some seriously weird thoughts on hurricanes in an interview on Sunday, telling Sunday TODAY he believes man should harness the power of hurricanes for good rather than run from them, as one tends to do when 155mph winds and catastrophic storm surge are heading towards one’s beach house. While discussing the very real need for humans to find ways to proactively adapt to a changing climate rather than running around like chickens with their heads lopped off, Tyson suggested instead of evacuating people should be inventing a way to convert hurricanes into electricity.Open thread unless something better comes along.

You're thinking small, but that's what I expect of lesser minds like yours. See, what we need are windmills on Uranus or Neptune. There are really huge storms on one of them, I forget which one. It really doesn't matter. We just need some realllllllly long extension cords.

Where to start? Leaving aside the small but noticeable technical problem of harnessing a hurricane for power production, where to put the facility? What do we do with it in the years between hurricanes? What do we do with the power surge that the occasional hurricane would generate?

To get maximum energy you need a boat that could follow the storm across the Atlantic. Presently you can only harness the wind energy, so you have a boat with wind turbines on it. The turbines cannot be too big because, the ship will be unstable, also more balast is needed for a stable ship. The bigger the shipbis the more fuel and energy to run it. Someone will need to keep the ship at the optimal distance from the storm so you have a wind speed that will not ruin the turbines. Batteries that hold a charge.
And this ship is only useful for 6 Months (recognized Hurricane season).
Brilliant. (Technically you could sail to the Indian Ocean for the cyclone season and have a year schedule)
Or build a modern power plant. But not in anyones back yard that would be bad.

a) there isn't a practical way to store that much electricity. If we could, the environmental impact of the storage system (and the energy collection system) would typically be larger than the hurricane itself.
b) People don't generally live in the middle of the ocean where hurricanes gather energy and where the energy could be most usefully captured. Power transmission attenuates. How much would be left where people actually live?
b) besides the capture equipment, the transmission and storage components would also have to be designed to repeatedly survive hurricane forced winds to be useful.
c) a system designed to obtain the maximum energy from a hurricane would generally not want to slow it to a stop, thus would be at a counter purpose to reducing damage. A dam stops generating power if you try to collect so much power that it stops the flow of water.
d) the investment to build the equipment to capture the energy of a hurricane following a known path would quickly exceed the amount that could be generated by almost any other means.
e) hurricanes may favor certain areas, but they don't favor them to such a degree that any one place would capture that much energy for the average hurricane
f) if the system were geared toward hurricane forced winds and flooding, it would basically not capture any energy the rest of the time. It would have to last at least centuries to recoop it's cost. Designing something that lasts that long would add to it's cost, requiring it to last even longer.
More or less, it's a dumb idea, particularly if he has environmentalist concerns.
As for the need to proactively adapt to changing climate, that is what the market is for. We individually make decisions based on information relevant to our continued and preferred lifestyle. We allocate money based on future hopes and concerns, of which (in the sense of it representing production) there is an ever increasing supply. If the government doesn't get involved, people will on average move in a way toward that goal more efficiently than if the government put in it's best effort. Thus, besides providing people with timely and accurate information, there is little need for the government to do anything.

3. Transport the entire hurricane back in time to the Jurassic Era or whenever the hell dinosaurs ruled Earth.
4. Send N.O. mayor Ray Nagin back with the hurricane to be in charge of the dinosaur evacuation
5. Kill off huge numbers of dinosaurs with floods, cholera and flying stop signs, not necessarily in that order
6. Wait several hundred thousand years
7. Pump the dead dinosaur juice out of the ground and use it to power our flying cars.

Then you can haul ice from the polar regions and cool the equatorial oceans even more.
No more hurricanes. And it would put people to work. Corporations would get big fat juicy government contracts, and politicians could get kickbacks on all those contracts. Everybody wins. Especially if you finance the project with bonds. The banks get rich, investors get rich, bondholders get the interest. Everybody gets rich.

I'm sure it has. The biggest problem I see is that each time you need more energy you have to go back a little earlier in time, to a time before you sent the last hurricane back and killed all the dinosaurs. Could get tricky on the pre-historic end.

Posted by: Skip at October 01, 2017 07:55 PM (ghofu)
Well, as a thought-experiment, you could build hundreds of huge underground tunnels transverse to the expected path of the hurricane, each with a wind turbine within it. As the eye of the storm passes over the end of a tunnel, you open the doors at both ends, and the high-pressure air outside the 'cane rushes through the tunnels, and into the eye, generating power, and also weakening the storm.
But it would be billions of dollars of infrastructure that would never earn any payback, except once in rare while, when an ideally-situated hurricane blew through.

Two paleontologists disagree about the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs so they jump into a time machine to settle it. (There's also this other whole thing about one banging the other's wife.) They get there (or then) and find that these gelatinous aliens who ride the dinos' nervous systems and control their actions. The aliens require a lessor gravity than is natural so they build antigravity satellites. The dinos grow so large because with lessor gravity, they can. The scientists eventually discover that the aliens are evil and intend to ride the dinos using them as weapons to conquer other peoples. Worse, they ride one of the scientists trying to get to the 21st century and ride all the humans. The other scientist manages to destrpy the antigravity satellites killing the aliens but also killing the dinos.
And that's why the dinos went extinct.

Trump has his flaws, but I have never seen any President as focused on simply keeping the promises he made on the campaign trail. People like McCain could learn a lot from him, about what integrity in keeping your promises really means.

bend wires to make, say, a butterfly, then dip it in and there'd be a
colored folm that would dry out? After awhile it would get more
delicate. Came in vivid reds and yellows, as I recall. What was that
stuff? They don't let kids play with it anymore. Like super elastic
bubble plastic, it's gone

Every kid I ever knew had a scar from being burned by a Vac-u-Form. If you learned nothing else from having one, it was to be careful around hot thingys.

Milo used to oppose gay marriage. Looks like he changed his mind.
I don't know why the Daily Mail thinks it's bizarre that Milo doesn't want the face of the dude he "married" to be shown on social media. The guy would immediately be threatened by SJWs for being involved with a "white supremacist"

Not necessarily. Opposing a public policy is different from taking advantage of it, when it exists. Watch Dave Rubin's interview with Milo, and it's pretty clear where he's coming from: he thinks gays should be out there pushing the boundaries, not settling into hetero-suburban norms. Bet you anything his so-called "marriage" is open, which makes it not a marriage at all, even if you grant the concept of gay "marriage," which I don't know whether I do or not, but at this moment, mostly not.

I am not. I suspect that the main difference between us on this point is that I have read his book, and you, I suspect, have not. He's the same Milo, and he covers the controversy in the intro. OK, there is more than one intro, but still.

Bingo.
Look on the manufacturers website.
"Consumer" products don't need an MSDS, but if it is used in an industrial setting, there will be an MSDS for it.
There are MSDS's for air, distilled water, salt, inert gases, you name it.

"No, no, no," Trump interjected. "That's not how you negotiate. You don't tell them they've got 30 days. You tell them, 'This guy's so crazy he could pull out any minute. '"
"That's what you tell them: Any minute," Trump continued. "And by the way, I might. You guys all need to know I might. You don't tell them 30 days. If they take 30 days they'll stretch this out."
"You tell them if they don't give the concessions now, this crazy guy will pull out of the deal."
