Abstract

A system for preventing damage from tornados and other harmful naturally occurring weather phenomenon uses multiple jet devices which are distributed in a ground array to produce man made tornados. The man made tornados function to divert or stop the natural tornados. Explosive devices can also be used with the man made tornados to stop the natural tornados. The power of the man made tornados and explosives required to tear down the natural tornados can be determined by calculating the threshold energies of the natural tornados. By determining the energy requirements, process for stopping natural tornados can be optimized.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method for reducing the destructive power of a disaster weather system such as tornados, twisters, dust devils, cyclones, and waterspouts comprising the steps: 
 detecting the path and direction of rotation of the disaster weather system;    providing an array of air flow devices for generating man-made tornados;    actuating at least some of the devices in the array of devices to generate a man-made tornado that rotates in the opposite direction of the disaster weather system to attract the disaster weather system to the array of air flow devices; and    intercepting the disaster weather system with the man-made tornado to lower the reduce the velocity of winds and destructive power the disaster weather system.    
   
   
       2 . The method for reducing the destructive power of a disaster weather system of  claim 1  further comprising the steps: 
 providing a launching system for delivering an explosion material device;    launching the explosion material device towards the disaster weather system; and    detonating the explosive material device in the disaster weather system.    
   
   
       3 . The method for reducing the destructive power of a disaster weather system of  claim 2  wherein the detonating of the explosive material occurs in the funnel of the disaster weather system.  
   
   
       4 . The method for reducing the destructive power of a disaster weather system of  claim 2  wherein the detonating of the explosive material clogs the core flow of the disaster weather system.  
   
   
       5 . The method for reducing the destructive power of a disaster weather system of  claim 2  wherein the detonating of the explosive material occurs in the funnel of the disaster weather system before the disaster weather system extends down to the ground level.  
   
   
       6 . The method for reducing the destructive power of a disaster weather system of  claim 1  further comprising the steps: 
 providing a balloon attached to an explosion material device;    launching the balloon and explosion material device towards the disaster weather system; and    detonating the explosion material device in the disaster weather system.    
   
   
       7 . The method for reducing the destructive power of a disaster weather system of  claim 6  wherein the detonating step occurs when the explosive material is at a specific height in the funnel of the disaster weather system  
   
   
       8 . The method for reducing the destructive power of a disaster weather system of  claim 1  wherein the launching step is performed by using an explosive material delivery device.  
   
   
       9 . The method for reducing the destructive power of a disaster weather system of  claim 1  wherein the array of air flow devices includes a plurality of individual air flow devices which are distributed over an area of land and or water close to a metropolitan area.  
   
   
       10 . A method for reducing the destructive power of a disaster weather system such as tornados, twisters, dust devils, cyclones, and waterspouts comprising the steps: 
 detecting the path and direction of rotation of the disaster weather system;    providing an array of air flow devices for generating man-made tornados;    actuating some of the devices in the array of devices to generate a man-made tornado to which rotates in the same direction as the disaster weather system to repel the disaster weather system; and    intercepting the disaster weather system with the man-made tornado to divert the disaster weather system from an area of the array of air flow devices.    
   
   
       11 . The method for reducing the destructive power of a disaster weather system of  claim 10  further comprising the steps: 
 providing a launching system for delivering an explosion material device;    launching the explosion material device towards the disaster weather system; and    detonating the explosive material device in the disaster weather system.    
   
   
       12 . The method for reducing the destructive power of a disaster weather system of  claim 10  wherein the detonating of the explosive material occurs in the funnel of the disaster weather system.  
   
   
       13 . The method for reducing the destructive power of a disaster weather system of  claim 10  wherein the detonating of the explosive material clogs the core flow of the disaster weather system.  
   
   
       14 . The method for reducing the destructive power of a disaster weather system of  claim 10  wherein the detonating of the explosive material occurs in the funnel of the disaster weather system before the disaster weather system extends down to the ground level.  
   
   
       15 . The method for reducing the destructive power of a disaster weather system of  claim 10  further comprising the steps: 
 providing a balloon attached to an explosion material device;    releasing the balloon and explosion material device towards the disaster weather system; and    detonating the explosion material device in the disaster weather system.    
   
   
       16 . The method for reducing the destructive power of a disaster weather system of  claim 15  wherein the detonating step occurs when the explosive material is at a specific height in the funnel of the disaster weather system.  
   
   
       17 . The method for reducing the destructive power of a disaster weather system of  claim 10  wherein the launching step is performed by using an explosive material delivery device.  
   
   
       18 . The method for reducing the destructive power of a disaster weather system of  claim 10  wherein the array of air flow devices includes a plurality of individual air flow devices which are distributed over an area of land and or water close to a metropolitan area.  
   
   
       19 . A method for reducing the destructive power of a disaster weather system such as tornados, twisters, dust devils, cyclones, and waterspouts comprising the steps: 
 detecting the path and direction of rotation of the disaster weather system;    determining the high energy threshold of the disaster weather system;    selecting an explosive device which can reduce the disaster weather system energy below the low energy threshold of the disaster weather system;    intercepting the disaster weather system with the explosive device; and    detonating the explosive device within the disaster weather system to lower the energy of the disaster weather system below the low energy threshold.
