Improved Methods of Weather Control at Medium Scales

 

I'm thinking about ways to cause wind and rain for weather control. I thought of an orbiting or an cheap lightweight inflatable airship lens or mirror. This is also like spinning air. To bend heat waves it's been found that by spinning a disk of air of a few feet it becomes a lens that focuses the heat. This would be lightweight.. and cheap to put into orbit or in the airship and it focuses the heat down.. And this could create temperature gradients "also known as wind!" as on the on the leading edge of the cloud, you have more heat on one side that melts the ice crystals there. And this helps the gradient of cooling that moves the cloud on the other side of the front. Moving the cloud may have use as well as just inducing rain on the leading edge.  One side has more heat and the other has more cooling and so they both tend to move the cloud at any rate if we choose a cloud of the optimal size.

One large cloud can weigh a million tons but we may be able to manage steam of more moderate size!

But also if an artificial tornado is used this can send heat into the cloud to melt the ice crystals. And this will make the ice crystals start to sink and rain to start.  The artificial tornado might be energized from the ground or from above with sinking air. Artificial tornadoes have been used to do things like extract the waste heat from power plants. Below these are created by fans and as the air rises it reaches the zone of downward flow and this primes the pump and then it forms a cooling tornado that goes down and reaches the ground with the reservoir to get the rain like in the desert.

  We might make it so that even in the desert where if you have heat to melt the ice or cloud, the ice crystals or rain doesn't reach the ground or fizzles out because of high pressure because it causes removal of more clouds..But there are 4 ft of rain above us even above the desert and it's interesting how we might get the rain above to the thirsty cities and country of the West.

 And so in the desert you've got kind of high pressure when the skies are not cloudy all day, high pressure to sell some more songs by Steven Foster! Because this might work best for clouds that are low where it's not so hot as the desert I can imagine that we could extract the rain from clouds and adjacent areas and then pipe that rain water to the reservoirs in the desert.
   

 I had thought of the large air filled lens inside the airship above the cloud.. this would send down the heating beam by focusing the light from the sun and that would melt the ice crystals in the cloud so they fall down.  You have fans that swirl the air up and that would then connect to the area beneath the cloud where it's starting to rain. And that would pump the air back down and prime the rain..a sort of a siphon that siphons off the rain of the cloud provided the tornado is underneath it where you want it to rain.

It's possible that instead of a tornado and the lens, we might make a magnetic beam that's been solar powered charging it all night in the shade of the heat. The beam radiates down and this would make it so that it would spin a magnetic field into the cloud that itself would spiral. And that would also make the crystals melt and start to prime the pump. The flow of melted ice goes down to the bottom of the cloud and it then might prime the tornado at the bottom of the spiral. 

And this may be an all in one method of sending down the rain from the cloud simply by turning on a magnetic beam that spirals from an airship above the rain cloud. 

 A possible way to augment the power of this event might be by dropping crystals of silver iodide or something like salt from the airship into the spiral of the magnetic field and also down into the tornado.

 One problem is that tornadoes are not totally safe and so for safety measures we might try to control the tornado with the magnetic field by computer actuation or we might have special trucks with wide tops that are built to collect all the water, or special wide land collecting areas or other methods. Another possible way to do this might be to add more rain inside the tornado so it tends to be heavier and spin slower and thus more predictable.

On my main page about weather control I discuss using drones to actually go near the side of a tornado we might want to stop and use something like a water jet or a laser beam to interrupt the flow of the tornado and this could help disperse it more rapidly. This might also be a way to control artificial tornadoes we also might use, as to cause rain for the desert.

Also, I note that I think it's possible that we might be able to make use of the  recent discovery that lightning actually causes it to rain more by way of the shockwave.

So it's possible that we could control the lightning with lasers as they're doing from the ground with a way to guide it so it doesn't hit the building when it lands. But most of the lightning is between the clouds. So using crossed lasers or particle beams might be useful to send lightning between the clouds so lightning won't hit the ground and yet we can hopefully make it rain more at the time when rain the has most value. In the desert, for example we might be able to prime it and make enough lightning to make it rain.

 Another possibility is to use propellers. I thought of using propellers to move the cloud where you want to move it to because it's been found that helicopter shock waves actually cause rain, by way of the sonic boom. So we could move helicopters or large drones on one side of the cloud and probably move it away while generating more cooling rain at the same time where we might want it to rain.

 

 

 

Simulation Of Green Spaces and Finding Underlying Value of Oxygen, Shade, Pollution Reduction, and More..

 It's been well established that access to plants and pets is good for general health.

I think there may be several ways this is possible. One is that even a lawn or other area like this stays about 30 degrees cooler in the heat and the small animals flourish there. 

 Trees may help in other ways, with shade in the heat and by moisture, protection from the rain as well as in the winter evergreen trees even protect from the snow. Perhaps most important, green spaces give more oxygen..

 Since the grass doesn't give much shade or protection from the snow, one thing we might predict is how the health benefits of living near trees are greater than than for those who just live near lawns. 

And while in the winter it's cold even without the trees, and while it might be colder near the trees because they're evergreen and they give shade, in general there might be a slight effect of the tree to improve the health of a person in winter because they also give oxygen and they even protect from the snow at least if beneath them. 

 Since I walk a lot and I want to stay fit there is a line of trees up a hill near where I hill where they planted them, And so on the summer I walk in that line of the edge the shade all the way up and down two or three times for a cardio boost, sort of recycling the shade and this is a more comfortable in the heat and this is what I think may have been going on when we were living in the tropics.. Perhaps the rainforest wasn't so miserable because it's constantly raining, and when you're moist you feel five times cooler than when you're dry and because we were constantly in and out of the shade.

 Another aspect of green spaces may be about how as we looked around in evolution all the time we were seeing all kinds of plants around us except if we lived in the desert. 

 If, as has been noted, heredity is stored environment, the sight of plants themselves might have a strong influence on how we think and feel. Another influence may be by the wildlife that may live in the green space which gives another element of reality to the viewer.

 Therefore those who mostly live near concrete may show the smallest positive influence of green spaces like lawns, because they neither see the plants or animals as much, nor do they get the oxygen or the cooling in the heat. 

Those who live near lawns but no trees are getting some visual energy, perhaps even by the wavelength of the greenness of the herbs to their vision, oxygen, cooling, moisture, and the possible influence of some types of wildlife hey it's Saturday night! throw a party! 

 The sounds of wildlife may also have influence on health because if there is no sound in the room where you live it's been found that your brain doesn't have a loop of reaction back and forth to constantly refine the brain and sensation by these small sounds.

 The sounds of animals may be more valuable than just sounds around the house to our health (What's that RV doing in the living room!) in this respect because they create more dynamic tension and may exercise your brain more.

 Those who live near green spaces with both lawns and trees may have more of these influences, and if some of the plants are evergreen they may even get another advantage in the winter by shielding from the snow. 

 Even so people who have evergreen trees giving more shade to their house in the winter might not have it as good as people with deciduous trees shading their house in the summer even while deciduous trees  wouldn't add shade in the winter to cause lower temperatures which you wouldn't want. 

 On the other hand Evergreen trees would give oxygen year round unlike deciduous trees.

It's been found the plants grow faster when they give sound like classical music or mostly any vibration. So it might make us also do well if we have these same vibrations.. Even the sound of the wind through the trees may be good for our health and when we emerge out into the sunshine the sight of the clouds and the blue sky may be a boost to our health also as well as just as in evolution we can meet people there we see more often..

These are some of the reasons, not just the green spaces being outdoors is good for health.

It would seem that plants also filter out pollution so small oxygen filters that would go in the nose powered by nuclear batteries like the chinese have invented that would last 100 years and with a special oxygen compound that stores a large amount of oxygen may be of use.   

 This might also be a good way to defend against pollution for living in the city much more cheaply than a gas mask to wear is just for the rich! Just small fans in your nose that make you feel a lot better without pollution and to reduce covid or bird flu events. 

 This could be useful for doctors as they treat health issues and also about antibiotic resistance which may become worse than covid according to some science sites. This might be useful for farmers and for the cows themselves to wear these filters and for people who live near the beach which is 75% of the people ..3/4 of the bacteria in the air at the shore are bad bacteria caused by people. Evolution may never have been like this And now you can see why the real estate value of property with a view of the water is up 100%, well, somewhat!

 All these aspects, oxygen, moisture, shade from the heat, reduction of pollution, the visual aspect of both the plants and the animals, natural sounds of animals to energize the brain that often are around green spaces, all these are measurable by experiment to find out which ones are the most valuable. We might imagine the visual aspects could all be simulated by virtual reality for the benefits of green spaces without living near them like for those who can't afford access, and oxygen might be used with this VR simulation, as well as the sounds of wildlife. The main part of the simulation about staying cool in the heat might be allowed by air conditioning, alternating with lots of heat to simulate going out into the sunshine as well as with sun lamps since it's become apparent that all the wonders of vitamin D actually have turned out to be caused by sunshine on skin..

 Other science has shown how alternating between hot and cool is good for your immune system.. of course because most people lived by the ocean In evolution as they do now before the invention of fire  "When will they invent fire?" I was attributing this health value of alternating hot and cold to how we would just go in and out of the water but I also realized that in the tropics we were also going in and out of the shade of the plants.. 

 This is why for an indoor simulation of a green space as I say we might want to alternate heaters with air conditioners for the most healthy event, or any rate to prove this. If some of these influences are more powerful than others it might be a lot easier to get the result than with the 100% VR simulation. And It seems possible some of these isolated influences could be multiplied up more than natural or with alternation etc. for an even more valuable boost to health.

 

 

 40 Years Earned of 1/3 Asleep Saved !

A Hungarian man once spent 40 years of his life without even once going to sleep until the time he died.

Here's a Reel from Instagram for you about this..

Paul Kern was in battle in WWI when a bullet wounded the frontal lobe of his brain.

Until his death in 1955, he didn't sleep from then on.

His curious condition made him the subject of several intense tests by brain and nerve specialists throughout Europe, but none could ever trace just why his body no longer needed sleep.

"From the moment Mr. Kern opened his eyes in Luxemberg, he did not sleep, nor did he express the slightest desire to do so."

Apart from the occasional headache, Kern's brain mysteriously did not require sleep as an essential form of rest, seeing as his work as a government administrator, which he continued doing after the incident, was never affected.

More than the lack of sleep, he reported that the many hours he spent awake in bed trying to lure sleep in exhausted him more than staying awake.

Later, Kern began a routine of laying down and closing his eyes for 2 hours every day.

While he was completely alert and responsive during this time, experts think his brain was able to rest for him to function seamlessly for the remainder of his active hours

My Comments..This might seem to be useful like for improving efficiency..If everyone didn't sleep we could do more work if this type of insomnia caused no harm and it could also be used for the military..

My question would be about Fatal Familial Insomnia FFI a form of insomnia also that goes on without sleep,

 Like it says on The Jug of Vivarin May Cause Drowsiness but Don't Count on It!.. 

 According to this Wikipedia link FFI is  fatal to most people who have it in about three months.. this is caused by prions like in Alzheimer's and this is why FFI is usually fatal, while as in the headline the other type of insomnia doesn't seem to even have adverse events.

I surely don't find insomnia more relaxing ..sleep is, and being awake is often so active!

Almost all types of animals sleep including even fish and birds and it seems so essential even to life, it makes me wonder if this example of insomnia is actually a hoax..

Since damage to the frontal lobe of the brain is common like with accidents or brain damage it would seem in the history of these events this would have repeated if it wasn't a hoax. 

  This might be provable with changes in the brain like deep ultrasound perhaps to change the brains of mice or the frontal lobes of other animals with larger brains. 

Research has found that you need to forget what you do quite well all night because while most people think 50,000 to 70,000 thoughts a day they forget most of the p.m. memories with amnesia. 

 Other science shows that you need to create new memories at the base of your brain to not become upset or edgy. I'd always read that while short-term memory in the brain is limited, we have unlimited long-term memory storage ability.. but if we're basically condensing the information while we sleep by forgetting unimportant memories it would seem there might also be a limit for this condensed information because there might be no extra room for it beyond a certain point.

On the other hand the brain is hugely complex with ten thousand different types of neurons so this might involve change to another area of the brain than FL.

Some scientists believe that as we get older our neural connections get more and more complex so it takes more and more energy to access them and that slows us down with age. A cat essentially has the same neurons we have, we just have more of them so if this idea is true We expect that cats might not slow down as much in cat years because they have fewer connections they're making with time.
