What would Happen??

[FiLeZz]

Any thought on what would happen if we nuked a hurrican?

 

[ajpa123]

I would cry!

 

[KillyKillall]

We'd probably die for coming up with such a moronic idea before we even tried it...multiple brain explosion kind of thing.

radiation everywhere the storm went afterwards?

lol, but I actually expect there wouldn't be a lot of storm left....

 

[Taggart]

lots of fallout blown all over this biatch

 

[FrustratedUser]

How big of a nuke are we talking here?
15kilo ton Hiroshima style or 50Mega ton Hydrogen bomb?

15k ton is not going to make any difference.

 

[knyghtbyte]

hmm..that is an interesting thought, is the power of a nuke enough?

after all, when you see how big an area a hurrican covers, would the nuke be able to generate enough wavefront to disrupt it completely?

personally, i reckon it couldnt stop the largest hurricanes......but possibly the smaller ones.....

mebbe im wrong...

who knows......who cares...like Bush is dumb enough to nuke Rita.....

mebbe i shouldnt say that...lol

Similar to the idea that "throwing more money at a problem isn't always the best solution".... throwing your most powerful weapon at any problem isn't always the best solution.

aside from making it a "dirty hurricane/radiological nightmare" , nothing

the power of a fusion bomb compared to a hurricane is nothing

Wow, someone posted this last time when Katrina was a threat.

I like your reply


That's kinda interesting. I mean, if you dropped a 50 megaton warhead and detonated it while it was in the hurricane, wouldn't the extreme heat and shockwave effectively vaporize the clouds and disrupt the currents which keeps the hurricane spinning around the eye?

I don't know if you realize this - but clouds ARE wator vapor.........

 

[FoBoT]

"clouds are water vapor"


your ideas intrigue me and i would like to subscribe to your newsletter, ryan

 

[computeerrgghh]

Well, I looked on Wikipedia and interestingly enough, a hurricane is powered by the heat of condensation of water vapor. So the shockwave wouldn't effect the water vapor in the air (after all vaporize = to convert to vapor and you can not make vapor a vapor because it is already a vapor). But the shockwave would vaporize water particles. The particles could condensate again and then actually strengthen the hurricane or become scattered and weaken it. Granted, I am not a meteorologist so what I say might be totally wrong.

What would happen is that people would still ask this friggin question whenever a hurricane was around.

An asteroid a mile wide MIGHT disrupt one if it collided with the earth at 30 miles a second.

BTW, that's a much bigger BOOM! than a nuke.

no sh1t and alot scarrier

 

[Sukhoi]

lets try setting off a huge nuke in the middle and see if we can get to category 6!

watch the heat of the nuke increases the strength of the hurricane and it develops into something resembling the hurricane in "The Day after tomorrow" With liek 300mph winds,l lol.

A mile wide asteroid at 30 miles a second would make that hurricane look like an ant's fart.

Fission. Fission.

And like I said in the other thread...a small thunderstorm has the power of about 40 1950 era nukes. Hurricane? Dun even think about it.

Yes it would, but that isn't the point. It would take a very great amount of energy spread over a large area to disrupt the earth's atmosphere and "kill" a hurricaine. An H-Bomb is an ineffective ant's fart for that purpose.

 

[Eeezee]

A nuke in a hurricane would only add energy to the system. You'd get a bigger, faster, more powerful hurricane.

Did anyone honestly think that a nuclear blast would somehow "disrupt" the mechanics of a hurricane? There's nothing you can do to "disrupt" a hurricane except by a giant freeze ray, and we're not going to build another one of those after the last two times! Building a giant freeze ray is just asking for trouble.

That's like throwing a baby in front of a speeding train to stop it....

Only thing it would do is spread radioactivity wherever it went
