Comments on: A Giant Anti-Hurricane Wall Around the Gulf of Mexico Would Pay For Itself http://www.punny.org/money/a-giant-anti-hurricane-wall-around-the-gulf-of-mexico-would-pay-for-itself/ Adding a punchline to your bottom line Tue, 06 Jan 2009 11:53:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Air Jordans http://www.punny.org/money/a-giant-anti-hurricane-wall-around-the-gulf-of-mexico-would-pay-for-itself/#comment-224279 Air Jordans Fri, 05 Dec 2008 08:39:39 +0000 http://www.punny.org/?p=679#comment-224279 You know how they create miniature biosperes in labs and in fact classrooms all over? Would it be cheaper to try the idea out on a smaller scale before dumping all that money into the ocean so to speak. Think of all the bridges to nowhere that ppl built and the space program - can we afford a hurricane wall that isn't proven to work. It does sound like a great idea in theory though.

And maybe turn it on every now and again when it gets too hot in the Keys. You just have to think “bigger”.

The wall would have to extend from florida to Mexico (screw Cuba, cigars arent that necessary) like you said. But instead og BUngee cords and plywood they could use negatively charged Ionized nitrogen and oxygen atoms. The base of the machine would be ionizers (thats what they would be called) and you would line 500 of them along the surface. 1 for every mile. And when a hurricane is a coming the shoot ionized atoms in the air 10 miles high. Only problem is this project costs about $100 trillion dollars.

I could definitely get behind an anti-hurricane wall. Of course that is mostly because getting in front of it would expose me to hurricanes. This is a brilliant idea.
