According to a source who attended a meeting between the US President and officials responsible for national security, Mr. Donald Trump raised the idea of using nuclear bombs to stave off the storm. We realize almost immediately how bad this idea is, it’s so bad that Mr. Trump claims he never said it. Even so, the Axios newspaper, the source of the incident, said they had a tape recording.
In the past, scientists working for the US government under President Eisenhower (term 1953-1961) had asked such questions, but they soon realized that the plan was impossible. The idea has gone up and down like a stock over the years, and as Axios reports, Donald Trump has once again raised the “initiative”.
The atomic bomb is still not strong enough to dislodge the forces of nature.
Scientists have repeatedly stated that this idea cannot be realized, because the atomic bomb is still not strong enough to dislodge the forces of nature, and the pressure from the explosion is not enough to drive the pressure. air for more than a few seconds.
When hot, humid air rises, it releases energy, causing lightning storms – thunderstorms, weak lightning storms also known as thundershowers . When the amount of lightning storms is enough, the wind in this area will swirl up and out, forming a whirlwind full of fury. At the top, clouds will gather and the hot air will thicken.
Winds continue to swirl, contributing to the formation of an area of low pressure over the sea surface. This is also the reason why a hurricane has a vortex shape.
Any storm-forming element weakens – whether it’s warm air or an area of low pressure, the storm will weaken significantly and dissipate. Based on this fact, in 1959, meteorologist Jack Reed proposed the idea of defeating storms with nuclear weapons.
Mr. Reed hypothesized that a nuclear explosion would block the storm by pushing hot gas out of the eye of the storm, allowing cold air to enter. He also came up with two ideas for dropping bombs in the eye of the storm, saying it was easy to do.
The first, most obvious way would be to drop bombs from the air, the second would require a submarine. A vehicle that could get under the storm to launch into the center of the storm would be the most efficient and safest way.
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) identified two of the biggest obstacles preventing the idea of “out of person” from becoming a reality.
In a storm that has grown to its climax, it releases energy equivalent to a 10-megaton atomic explosion every 20 minutes. That’s 666 times more energy than the Little Boy atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945.
The data is available, the calculation shows that to use bombs to dispel the storm, we will have to drop bombs on the storm at a rate of 2,000 Little Boy bombs per hour, dropping continuously until the storm clears.
The Tsar Bomba is the most powerful nuclear bomb ever detonated on the Earth’s surface, but the 50-megaton hydrogen bomb, tested by the Russians on the surface of the Arctic Ocean, is still too small to withstand the wrath of nature.
Smoke from the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
Moreover, when the great pressure from the explosive bomb in the eye of the storm spreads out, everything will be back in place. Unless we can bombard the eye of the storm continuously, we won’t be able to balance out where the low-pressure air is constantly fueling the storm.
It seems that Mr. Jack Reed has not taken into account the fallout phenomenon , when radioactive materials emitted from the explosion enter the atmosphere. Storm winds will soon carry the fallout’s effects away; in other words, when a nuclear bomb is dropped on a storm, the storm will not dissipate, but will amplify the effect of the bomb many times over.
When people are exposed to enough radiation, the body’s cells will lose their ability to repair themselves, and your body will gradually disintegrate under the influence of radiation.
Humans will not be able to live in the contaminated land, the natural environment in the area will be severely affected. If you wonder about the effects of radiation on the environment, just look at Chernobyl.
NOAA’s scientific report succinctly concludes: ” Without much to say, this is clearly not a good idea .”
