Anti-Tsunami Civil Engineering

Note: In an effort to minimize Coastal seismic impact, I submitted via Facebook an anti-Tsunami Civil Engineering project. This eventually got a reply from the CEO of CanadaPond Products, suppliers of very large water aeration services to North American municipalities. They too have an interest in a Cascadia Event. I hope to hear someday about any progress. The following proposal was produced and submitted by this writer for the Convergence Conference as well but I chose to focus on the Maritime Infrastructure Poster Presentation, feeling more confidant this would be achievable. I made five marine seismicity submissions in all, of which I hope to share some thoughts on a few:

Tsunami Gravity Pressure Wave meets man made Buoyant Pressure Wave.

He who has the greatest pressure, wins.

The law of the Universe requires pressure gradient energy potentials to continually seek equilibrium with each other. There are of course are a lot of variables that are encountered during the process of equilibrium, in the instance of two gas or liquid high pressure volumes interacting, the smaller pressure with less inertia and momentum over time would be absorbed into a larger one with the greater inertia and momentum, both being changed after the encounter. Accordingly, the same occurs when two low pressure potential energy gradients need to adapt to each other after colliding.

Therefore, it is theorized that if seismically induced at sea gravity pressure waves, (aka Tsunami’s), were to interact with high pressure from a civil engineered, at sea gas injection network strategically placed in its oncoming path its mass momentum and inertia would then have to alter from its’ expected path and usual energy delivery.

Put more simply, if an incoming tsunami were to meet a large area of manmade air pressurized sea water, (say protecting the entrance to a harbor), the tsunami would behave as though it were being influenced by land, but in this case the influence would be by manmade pressurized buoyancy. Such a system may in fact influence a tsunami to do something less devastating to seismically exposed Coastal Communities”.

Regarding this concept I had concerns we may not be able to generate underwater pressures long enough or hard enough to alter the onshore energy delivery of a Tsunami. Then I remembered my Firefighting training, where I was taught and witnessed water changing to steam at high temperatures. If I remember right, a gallon of water when boiled will convert into the volume of 1600 gallons of steam.  The higher the temperature, the greater the water to steam conversion. It was then realized controlled and sustained rocket fire into sea water would make an unbelievable counter force to incoming Tsunami waves. The discharge could even be pulsed for longer operation. Temperatures of the Space Shuttle rocket discharge for example were somewhere around 1200 degrees Celsius. Each gallon of water that makes contact with 1000 degrees Celsius turns into a volume of 4200 gallons of instantaneous steam. This would be an unbelievable manmade force that could in fact influence the severity of a Tsunami. I do not know if such a system could stop a Tsunami, but if one were in place, we might only endure 7 miles of inland Tsunami Inundation damage instead of 10. This would still be a victory for us non the less.

As stated, this system would use the pressure gradient difference of buoyantly active water to simulate the Tsunami energy absorbing qualities of land, but do it out at sea.

Let me know what you think. Comment below!
