Typhoons and Magnetic Bubbles, a possible method of weather control.

Japan is currently using supercomputers to try to simulate how to control typhoons in project Typhoon Shot, sort of like the Apollo moon shot which was also thought to be highly unlikely but possible and it was then actually achieved.

Some say project Typhoon Shot is a mid 20th century idea just hyped up with drones and other 21st century projects and has no real change of value here.

 The plan is to either convert the typhoon power to energy for like Japan and also of course reverse the motion of the storm.

 One problem with reversing the storm like this is like when the first cloud seeding was tried for hurricanes in 1947 when a B-29 and two B-17s filled with 180 lb of dry ice, this actually caused or was associated with a hurricane reversing course when going out to sea and it instead went in to Savannah Georgia. Amid a lot of public outcry The project named project Stormfury lived up to its name for a while! and then was out of favor.

One idea I had had was that instead of wind farms on the shore which have been simulated with computers to also be able to actually recieve power from the hurricane as well as perhaps send it back out to sea, we might use magnetic bubbles stretched between two towers like on shore.

 This would also take place of wind farms which are unsightly and cause hazards to wildlife on the shore.

 I would think that these machines could even be beautiful with rainbows inside the field. Or even with jugs of silver on the side! I'm serious.

 Magnetic bubbles are not known to hold or focus light or heat well unless there's a gas inside but this could easily be powered by pumping gas into the arch.
 
 The idea is that the band would move with the wind and power the magnets on both sides, although we can imagine a moving one that moves more with the wind and restarts at the start of each loop or just one continuous one that doesn't change as much and just vibrates as the wind blows.

 Basically for hurricanes it might be the same idea at a higher level.

 One good thing about this is a cyclone creates two kT of power per second and it's more guaranteed that the storm will be moved out to sea because pressure is only from the outside.

This is also much easier to simulate to see if it would actually have value instead of complex methods like using cloud seeding.

And because the machine is mostly outside the storm it won't have to be nearly as durable to survive the storm.

 To find more power it would simply be scaled up with the money earned paying for larger and large machines and more and more value.

 Like the wind farms on the shore it would reverse the motion of the storm and find power but it wouldn't be as tough to build as other typhoon control methods might be.

 For years the conditions inside the storm weren't even known because building a machine like an anerometer to survive the extreme winds was not even viable yet.

 To build these bubbles wouldn't take 30 or 40 years like building more flimsy ships so this method might be feasible much sooner.

I would think the gas in the bubble would be valuable to exert the mechanical tension on the typhoon.

 50% more storms are hitting land like in Japan than before since the 1950s and it's also been found that the warmer air of the shore draws in the hurricane to the land, so we might be able to get a much more powerful effect by actually pumping cooling gas into the arch.

 It makes sense that the land would draw in the typhoon with heat because a typhoon is essentially a heat engine that rises like a bubble from the tropics to the northern areas and the tropics are indeed cooled by 30° by typhoons.  

 Another method might be to make the bubble vertical from inside the eye up to something large above it or else arching through the eye and over to the ship on the side perhaps around the land to exert mechanical attention on the storm.

 

 And as an additional value the same machine could be used to find usual wind power when the storm was not by the shore.
