G5. Seeking partner with strong engineering capability for the development of the Atmospheric Vortex Engine #AVE. #Climate #Energy. More info at: vortexengine.ca/VSC/AVE_WEB.…

Controlled tornadoes 🌪️- A new #Energy source to fix #Climate. Atmosphere is in metastable state bc heated by the sun. Bottom heat and deflection alone produce the Singapore museum fire vortex. @KevinClimate @ClimateOfGavin Thermodynamics basis here:

SI Mess - Base Units should be allowed prefixes.
The symbol for kg could be just "k". There is an exception "mm". This would encourage the use of SI prefixes and of consistent units.
300 kt = 300 Gg = 300 Mkg = 300 Mk
1 g = 1 mk, 1 ton = 1 kk
1 billion tonnes = 1 Gt = 1 Pg = 1 Tk

T1. Heat carried upward by convection could produce useful work. #cleanenergy #climate @jfasullo @NCAR_Science @NRC_CNRC @ClimateOfGavin @KevinClimate @ClimateHuman @coxypm @PIK_Climate @jrockstrom @cohan_ds @rpallanuk @DrSimEvans @PeterWSinclair

A3. #AVE would control where convection and precipitation occur and regulate weather while producing clean power. #AVE in fixed locations would not be a hazard. Controlled processes perform better and could be kept away from tipping points. #ClimateFix

Storms produce more energy than humans. Controlled tornadoes could provide energy - trivial compared to landing a booster on a barge. Consider suggestions from engineers. #ClimateFix could be in #AtmosSci domain. Story for historian @NaomiOreskes vortexengine.ca/VSC/Vortex_S…

T3. "Every possible thing that has ever been suggested to escape the mass extinction event is going to be on the table. Talk means nothing. When it comes down to it, nothing matters but action." @KSRQuoteBot More doable than #CCUS or #GeoEngineering @SecGranholm

1/2 Sure climate/energy fix no one wants to look at. See @VortexEngine
Not atmosphere/climate scientist
Not media
Not research labs
Not politicians
Not energy equipment providers
Not electricity providers
Why - not yet mainstream perhaps?
Time for a Hail Mary pass @MaryHeglar
It’s worth a re-read of this amazing essay by @MaryHeglar:
“Walking out is not an option. We don’t get to give up.
This planet is the only home we’ll ever have. There’s no place like it. And home is always, always, always worth it.”

Upward flow of solar energy in the atmosphere could supply 3000 times human electricity needs. A large hurricane produces more energy than human annual electricity production. The Atmospheric Vortex Engine #AtmosEng could provide abundant #CleanEnergy and solve #ClimateCrisis.

The atmosphere is in a metastable state. The heat that powers tornadoes and hurricane is allready stored at the bottom of the atmosphere. Needs starting impulse, conduit and imagination. Needs engineering & meteo experience. teapaw.org/VortexEngine/status/10…

You're unlikely to discover something new without a lot of practice on old stuff.

H1. Hurricane Energy sources theories:
1. Heat content of ambient air. CISK -Conditional Instability of the Second Kind -Charney
2. Sea to Air heat transfer -WISHE -Wind-Induced Surface Heat Exchange -KerryEmanuel #KE or GregHolland #GH.

B1. Well said Rob Kelly. The skills learned through a career in oil and gas could fix #Climate.
Use skills BEYOND PETROLEUM🌪️
O&G other capabilities also needed. teapaw.org/VortexEngine/status/14…

The skills learned through a career in oil and gas, “overlaid with an agile mindset: being inquisitive, open to learning, wanting to develop and being open to change”, are needed for the energy transition. #OTC2021 #bpNetZero upstreamonline.com/energy-tr…

@nkus -There is a need to promote the use of O&G skills and capabilities BEYOND PETROLEUM 🌪️
The Atmospheric Vortex Engine (AVE) 🌪️has far more potential than CCS. @bp_America

Is carbon capture and storage a climate solution, or life-support for fossil fuels? Either way, it is poised to get billions of dollars in new federal support.

The problem is not people being uneducated.
The problem is that people are educated just enough to believe what they have been taught, and not educated enough to question anything from what they have been taught. 🧠

Hello Peter - Interesting article. Ex-Exxon engineer terrified by what I see coming. Working to replace fossil fuel with CAPE. Could use #AtmSci help. Would fit in with your project. Here is an alternative way of calculating CAPE. teapaw.org/VortexEngine/status/14…

B2. Ideal work is identical for all ideal processes: it is not just integrated buoyancy force. It is independent of process details, of time or of velocity. The tube can be a vortex. Friction losses zero, turbine can be anywhere in the tube, process can be continuous or batch.

A1. Upward heat convection in the atmosphere could provide abundant carbon free energy and reverse #climatechange. Could also be used to improve weather. @KevinClimate @KenCaldeira @cohan_ds @hausfath @akleidon @nkus @JBElsner @dpcarrington @adamvaughan_uk @afreedma

Replying to @TadHomerDixon
@TadHomerDixon hopes to win the #ClimateWar. Ideas are not enough. Opportunities will be missed unless suggestions from disciplines like process control are considered, supported & developed. See example at🌪️: vortexengine.ca/VSC/Vortex_S…
