Hello Mark, Concerning cryogenic use, have you factored in the Atmospheric Electrical aspects of CCN? It is a rarely talked about issue, but there is clear indications that CCN has an electrical aspect.
Here are a few references. If your concept gets to the modeling stage, the modelers may want to take this type of electrical dynamics into consideration to show a more realistic model. http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/1993/93JD00627.shtml <http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/1993/93JD00627.shtml> http://www.utdallas.edu/nsm/physics/pdf/Tin_rev.pdf <http://www.utdallas.edu/nsm/physics/pdf/Tin_rev.pdf> http://www.accessscience.com/content/Atmospheric-electricity-and-effects-on-clouds/YB071070 http://arxiv.org/ftp/physics/papers/0506/0506077.pdf Have you worked up any quantitative idea of how cryo release would effect local air moisture content? Also, there are a number of potential climate intervention investigations going on that are not being currently discussed within this forum. Here is an innovative approach that has interested me for some time. http://wemustknow.net/2011/04/haarp-atmospheric-heating-as-a-research-tool/ <http://wemustknow.net/2011/04/haarp-atmospheric-heating-as-a-research-tool/>I read the initial patent on this back in the early 90's and have been waiting to see them get to this phase of investigations. If you read the initial IP, this type of use of the concept is apparent. It can create "hot spots" in the upper atmosphere. Eventually, I predict this type of technology will be able to "steer" weather fronts. Creating a line of hot spots adjacent to a natural front can create small low pressure troughs (hot air is light thus less pressure). Adjusting the pressure around the weather front would be an interesting experiment. IMHO Here is the patent http://conspiration.ca/brevet_chemtrails/United%20States%20Patent%204,686,605.htm My concept (more of a thought experiment) was to possibly use the HAARP method to power a high altitude tether for the purpose of providing low cost regional geosat like communications and possible energy harvesting. The concept was a "chimney" like tether. The Novim report (Pg 48) has an analysis of one variation on concept. http://people.ucalgary.ca/~keith/papers/119.Blackstock.etal.ClimateEngResptoClimEmerg.e.pdf <http://people.ucalgary.ca/~keith/papers/119.Blackstock.etal.ClimateEngResptoClimEmerg.e.pdf>However, my concept was not "inflatable", a design some have suggested. It was more of a tethered line of electrical powered large bore like airframe UAVs which would adjust the individual UAV unit's lift/thrust to meet the different "flight" conditions. The main advantage of the system, beyond flight stability, was that the individual units could disengage from the tether and land like aircraft. This rapid landing of the system would be important for a number of operational needs. I envisioned liquid nitrogen as a working fluid for certain lift, control and electrical aspects. Heated nitrogen was to be used as lifting gas for the units stationed within the stratosphere. So, atmospheric release of nitrogen is something I have looked into. BTW, did I give you that old patent on the airborne rapid balloon inflation apparatus? Also, have you looked into the different SBIR opportunities? It is not uncommon for an investigator to show their concept and their ability to perform the research to a government lab and, if there is interest in the concept, that lab will put out an SBIR solicitation. Just a thought. Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group. To post to this group, send email to geoengineering@googlegroups.com.
