Dyn-o-gel is still here and still making claims............

"The devastation and damages to life and property caused by hurricanes can be tamed. Dyn-O-Mat® seeks the answers with Project Dyn-O-Storm. Your are invited to join us to help conquer these cruel beasts of nature"

"DYN-O-STORM IS A FASCINATING RESEARCH PROJECT IN THE INTRIGUING FIELD OF WEATHER MODIFICATION. VIEW THE EXCITING SERIES OF VIDEOS LISTED BELOW TO FOLLOW CEO PETER CORDANI AS HE PASSIONATELY LOOKS FOR A RESOLUTION TO TAME THESE DEADLY BEASTS WE CALL HURRICANES."

It looks the website has been recently updated and Cordani still believes his stuff will work. I want to know what all the other weather nuts out in cyperspace think about this?

My belief is even if does work all it will do in the long run is P.O. Mother Nature and she will retaliate.

Nothing unusual. Southeast Florida is the spam capital of the world.

I think that mother nature will do what it wants regardless of what we try to do. In fact, I think trying to "control" mother nature could have horrible consequences (what if we strengthened a storm instead of weaken it?!). Also, I do not think I would want to live in a world without the suspense of an oncoming storm..sure it is bad when it hits and can devastate an area...but I think everything happens for a reason..we should not try and alter fate. Plus..how exciting would this site or the field of meteorology be if every day was 72F and partly cloudy with 5mph winds? Not exciting at all.

[MiamiensisWx]

Agreed, Extremeweatherguy, especially with many of your first points!

I dont think there would be a meteorology field. Who needs them if every day is perfectly boring.

[SouthFloridawx]

I think that if they have been doing testing it has caused us some negative problems for short term fixes....

its like wiping out a species, it tosses the whole balance of thay ecosyestem into chaos.

I think messing with nature would bring more harm then good

hurricane floyd that is an awesome avatar

[boca]

I thought hurricanes balance the transfer of heat from the southern latitudes to the northern latitudes to keep everything in check so if people are trying to control this I think what extremeweatherguy said it won't be positive.

[Hybridstorm_November2001]

They do. This is a very bad idea. Any real Met, or even most people interested in the weather, would know that.

[stormcrow]

They do not appear to have done anything since 2001.

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

I just laugh at this any more. But yes its a very bad idea.

[MiamiensisWx]

Why dosn't anyone stop them from doing this, especially since many know about it?

By the way, don't give the answer as a conspiracy theory!

[Hybridstorm_November2001]

Answer: Because everyone involved in Meteorology knows ten to one it is useless, and just a scientific joke. Pseudo science if you would.


PS: I would fine the company for polluting the Ocean though

[brunota2003]

ok...real dumb questions (joke) it took 8,000 pounds to "wipe" a tiny raincloud off the radar, now here off my coast these tiny rain clouds appear on one radar sweep and on the next are gone...so how do they know it was a sucess? also, the video on their site stated they fly above the storms...other than a few select planes that I know the military won't let them fly, how are they going to fly above the hurricane? also, for what they are planning to do, it would take 100,000's of pounds of their substance, then when they return to base, the hurricane will rebuild its self before they get back out there and they would have to pollute the ocean from about 36 hours before landfall all the way up to landfall...who is going to man all the crews? i want them to answer that...just to see what they would say...

[MiamiensisWx]

They won't answer truthfully, that's for sure!

very good points. I think this dyno-gel is a bigger risk than a reward. I can just see the news headlines now... "Dyno-gel team loses 33 airplanes to Hurricane Dan as they tried to fly above it and drop their storm stopping gel into the eye wall. 71 people died in this horrible accident. Also, we have word that there are now over 250,000 pounds of dyno-gel floating around in the ocean."... that right there could end up being a bigger death toll than the storm causes. I just have a hard time seeing this getting past the "testing" stage.

My thoughts exactly.

Cordoni was on Faux News just before Wilma made landfall claiming for $10-20million he could "significantly reduce" the storm and the news casters seemed to be hooked on the idea.

Obviously the rain cloud experiment in 2001 is not scientific.(period)

I do believe it will take a loss one of his planes in a hurricane before Cordoni and his team agree that you can't tame Mother Nature.

funny...you forgot, "despite the risks of their jet engines flaming out due to all the rain, them losing 33 military aircraft, and pushing $10 million down into the drink, this guy plans on trying again...he says he ONLY needs another $50 million in order for him to retry" sad? yes...true? most likely...its like people running around going, we are little ants (humans), but lets try to kill that bigger thing (hurricanes, more perferably mother nature though) over there, that could squash us like the little nuisance we are in about .5 seconds...

[brunota2003]

oh...speaking of "mother" nature, my moms favorite line, and maybe mother natures to: "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out just as quickly" that saying is very true...
