Alternative energy, reduction in tornado damage.




A system for the energy harnessing of tornadoes, and also a way to safely release the potential energy of weather systems that create tornadoes in high-risk areas.


I had this idea many years ago.



The idea is based upon one crucial premise which may or may not be true:


The system of a tornado is basically the same as the system of water funneling down a drain-

That a tornado is created because of a mass of cooler air has become suspended over a mass of warmer air, and this system becomes "equalized" via a tornado that has the warmer air traveling up through the center of the tornado, and cooler air traveling down, along the outside of the tornado.


^If that premise isn't true then the idea doesn't work.





The idea is the usage of a "device" that acts as a catalyst for creating tornadoes via a relatively low-power laser at the center of the device, with tunnels extending from the center to a great area around the center.  The center is elevated slightly off of the ground.

Small fan turbines are inside the tunnels.  The laser fires vertically.  The tornado begins to form around the laser.  The air going through the tunnels is managed so the tornado does not get too large, but still is forced to stay centered on the device.  The fan turbines are used to "piggy back" off of the system to harness some energy.

A metaphorical illustration and guide on the creation of any "pathway" (a mechanism for the efficient transfer of information or matter).


Initially there is travel from Point A to Point B with units.  Then the units start bringing things to create a mesh around the path they take from Point A to Point B.  The mesh allows for more efficient transmission on the path.  Through continual addition the mesh becomes a tunnel.


The tunnel is a solid connection from Point A to Point B and allows for the most efficient transmission.



Expeditionaries place way-points where there wasn't a path.  Adventurers that follow place more way-points and camps along the way. Tradesmen and families create a dirt road and small towns along the way.  The camps become unecessary and disappear.  Engineers and tradesmen create roads.

Engineers and tradesmen create better roads.  The towns become unecessary and disappear.  The roads become high-efficiency rails.  The rails become tubes.  Point A and Point B become almost indistinguishable.  New Point B's are focused on.



^^^^^^^^^   My initial idea was to illustrate this concept with "boxy" animation in space.  My main point is that efficient passage-ways can be made anywhere.
