New improved Post of oil plume remediation/ CO2 sequestering/Burn baby burn

Solution to oil column danger

Crude is difficult to burn off at the surface. Like an oil-fired furnace, oil must be atomized into air and ignited.

This wellhead lamp proposal is to burn the oil at depth; foam the oil cloud with air and strike a match, all at almost a mile under sea.

The solution will test the sequestering of CO2 in the ocean.

Here’s how to Get Rid of Crude Oil for Dummies- Clean the spill by lighting a lamp for the tempest-tossed.

While experts try putting their fingers in the dike, or spreading Brawny paper towels all over the Gulf of Mexico, a third solution flickers – lighting an ancient Roman oil lamp. Step one/Article one – long fire-proof hoses with millions of holes in the mesh. Use the material for  Indy driver’s fire proof suits – Its called Nomex. It won’t burn even with high temperature burning near its surface.

Step two – air will be brought to the oil volcano, in other words, to the base of the Nomex hoses, which then bubble air up their length. The quantity of air would be delivered at 2500psi [water pressure at the briny depths of the well head.]  Actual aeration would be at some depth less than the wellhead for practical reasons.

How is air delivered at sufficient quantities and pressures? An air compressor chain uses the outlet of a first compressor to feed a second compressor and so on, raising the pressure at each step. As air is compressed, the heated air would be cooled with heat exchangers between each link of the chain.

Finally, step three, NASA’s match.

Ever wonder how the Space Shuttle’s engines get lit? In engineering terms, BFM – big friggin’ matches. Truly. Watch some Youtube video of a launch and you see the pyrotechnics. You could light a billion candles or one of Rush Limbaugh’s Fuente Opus X’s.

Warning: Metaphor alert

Sort of gives the Gulf a nice warm Weber kettle glow. Mix in some Zatarain’s and the Gulf will fill with Bubba Gump Jambalaya. The Gulf may fizz like Champagne.

Seriously, it would take time to bring the compressor chain online [practical way to achieve volume and pressure.] Tests could be done with air tanks at 2500psi with NASA’s match attached. An optimal depth needs to be tested. Several designs would need to be tested for the aeration hose separation. IF meteorologists can track hurricanes 200 miles across, tracking the oil column [which should show up as a fluid with a different density] should be doable.

The Roman lamp solution developed above brings with it the idea of portability. Nothing in the design prohibits the outfitting of Roman lamp ships to rid the ocean of oil at any depth and any distance from the well.

Personal attacks on private citizen seen as reasonable to get noble hispanic judge on the Supreme Court.

Supreme Court overturned Sotomayor based on her application of the law, not on the merits of the case. That is the Constitutional thing for the Appellate Court and the Supreme Court to do.

Duh.

USE – coal black market

Unintended secondary effects.

Obama desires to tax coal out of existence. Google [Obama coal “out of business”]

Coal is the base of all electric energy used in the world. What happens when the price doubles overnight?

Nevermind that millions of jobs  wiped out, and new “Enrons” trading funny paper called carbon credits. That is f&(ing infuriating enough.

Nopherhole has three main choice as an electric utility.

1. Take it up the a$$.
2. Buy alternative energy that is priced at the second highest cost price, that is coal. [which has doubled in price]
3. Think outside the buns.

Three is the USE space.

Three includes fibbing on the amount of coal used. The average Joe Wacko  doesn’t realize that coal comes in different flavors. Some coal is just barely beyond disintegrating vegetable matter. At the other end of the scale is super hard, high carbon coal. The energy content is doubled for the hard carbon coal, typically from the Eastern US coal mines and higher in sulphur. A large proportion of utilities have switched [because of environmental regulation] to Western Coals, which have down to half the energy in them per ton.

Long story short, sneak some Eastern coal into the mix, but count it as Western Coal. All those heavily laden trains descending from Wyoming Western Coal mines go east will have return traffic loaded with some counterfeit coal from the East.

Three also includes buying coal energy from Canada and Mexico. A little wallet grease will go a long way toward having the source for the energy labeled as wind, solar, biomass, and burning SUV’s.

Getting that energy to the United States may involve [and it must if something is really flowing], huge, million volt direct current transmission lines going north and south. These will be built through areas that have less than one person per square mile. Won’t that be lovely.

Aha you say, nopherhole forgets that North Dakota can build huge wind farms and hook those up to the huge, million volt direct current transmission lines. Wrong you wacko. If nopherhole builds a coal plant in Canada and then builds huge, million volt direct current transmission lines, nopherhole builds those lines to carry its energy only. Why? to add one more kilowatt to a huge, million Volt direct current transmission line traversing land with one person per square mile involves building huge facilities that cost $millions. Well, you say, the wind energy can pay to hook up. Wrong! Wackos complain that wind farms paying their fair share is wrong. It should be FREEEEE.

Three also includes doing stuff to the coal that some might consider “Thinking outside the buns.” Coal comes with water in it. Boiling off the water in the fire sucks up energy. So nopherhole dries his coal more to get more energy with the same amount of carbon. Nopherhole can’t think of an easy way to do this. Western coal, if it contacts too much air, spontaneously bursts into flame. And it’s a Hydrogen flame which is hard to detect. The first fatality is on Obama’s train ticket to hell.

Three also includes throwing other stuff into the fire. Mostly money, but tires, mulch and the morgue’s John Does come to mind.

Supremes punt Sotomayor – Nopherhole recognizes an Ethnic-ist

From Anncoulter.com and Human Events

With the Supreme Court’s decision in Ricci v. DeStefano this week, we can now report that Sonia Sotomayor is even crazier than Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

To recap the famous Ricci case, in 2003, the city of New Haven threw out the results of a firefighters’ test — which had been expressly designed to be race-neutral — because only whites and Hispanics scored high enough to receive immediate promotions, whereas blacks who took the test did well enough only to be eligible for promotions down the line.

Inasmuch as the high-scoring white and Hispanic firemen were denied promotions solely because of their race, they sued the city for race discrimination.

Supreme Court ruled she was wrong in not pointing out the discrimination. But look at the dates. These firemen could be dead in their graves before they got justice. We should be glad that some aren’t. I think courts have problems with dead litigants.

Nopherhole on Wheels – Electric cars nuked by Weedheads

Nopherhole attended the Car as Art Concours de’Elegance on the Kansas City Art Institute grounds.

While the heat was enough to melt tin, the aluminum, steel and leather and yes, some vinyl held up. Nopherhole is hoping to draw some readers to BubbleBoot. And there will be good stuff there.

Aha, but first, weedhead politics!

Politics has rung the death nell on electric cars, at least electric cars that run on electricity.

Before nopherhole jumps the gun, remember that only the weedheads passed the bill in the House. And all of this is based on the premise that human beings expire deadly gases from our lungs. That’s the mental Snake River Canyon jump certain weedheads make from the Clean Air Act. To be regulated, Carbon Dioxide must be defined as a deadly gas under the Act.

Some weedheads say ignore the intent of the law. But if the EPAy’ers define Carbon Dioxide as poisonous gas, it must first be regulated at ground level where humans are exposed to the gas’ highest levels, like the gymnasium at the basketball game. Or at the Nascar track. Or the backyard Barbeque.

Miniscule amounts of carbon dioxide in the air at the tops of mountains they say will cause massive shifts in climate. But the amount of climate impact was greater when the moon exploded off the surface of the earth and the hundreds of years of rain filled the ocean, and the supercontinent of Nopherholyhell began slowly migrating around the world.

We know the climate changes. Remnants of forests are fossilized beneath deserts, massive inland seas provided nourishment for the Pteradons, and Ronald Reagan ruled the world.

Nopherhole lied. The best consensus science, that is, science arrived at by a bunch of people guessing, says the winter temperatures will rise maybe a couple of degrees. Luckily for England, Ireland and America, we stuck with the Fahrenheit system, so the impact will be less.

Nopherhole lied again. It’s Climate Change. Thermometers will need to be designed to vary as quickly as your Acura’s tachometer.

The example that the EPAy might be able to extend is the “regulation out of existence of Chlorofluorcarbons.”  These chemicals had many uses including halon fire extinguishing systems. Obviously, the Act takes priority over saving burning materials. [misleading, but oh heck, nopherhole can do politics too.] And now the ozone hole, which was first detected during the National Geophysical Year in the 1950’s, is not effected. This is easily explained because the atmosphere over the northern hemisphere exerts its changes on the southern hemisphere in a very remote way.

Luckily, most advanced economies with vast wealth in the northern hemisphere can help the third world countries at and south of the equator.

As explained in earlier posts, nopherhole is a technology fan and would truly like to drive an electric car. After all, being on the cutting edge with a 1982 diesel Toyota pickup smashed by a climate-tossed tree, a 1984 diesel Toyota Corolla that refused to run when the temperature was below four degrees Fahrenheit. [This would be huge negative number in Celsius.] The 1987 Suzuki Samurai that was viciously attacked by Consumer Reports. Any mechanical engineer knows that greatly increasing the moment of inertia with the huge outriggers fitted to test cars caused them to tilt. I still want to know how many cars rollover in the world due to bad roads or driving and compare that to toilet testers verdict on the simple Samurai. The Chrysler LeBaron convertible with its marvelous body longevity, until T-boned at an intersection. The low fronted Dodge Intrepid that took out a twelve point buck two miles from my home. My offspring’s Cutlas Supreme that slid off a snowy road smashing its right side and permanently sealing the right front door.

Now nopherhole’s spouse’ VW Turbo lost a hub cap.

And finally, my wonderful Prius, that nopherhole is told contributes to the pollution at the nickel mines in Canada.

Nopherhole has taken the cutting technology ride, and my Mobile One has never failed me.

Nopherhole policy

Nopherhole has been silenced on Obama. Just because state run banks and car companies were an aspect of Stalin does not mean that America is becoming something other than what America should be.

Obama must be correct in guiding us into Gulags.

If an investor or bond holder lost everything in the bubble, it, of course makes sense to give the company to the workers or the state.

Even intelligent people don’t see the danger in this. By settling problems solely with political solutions, do we not risk Civilian control must be come integrated State control?

But as stated above, nopherhole is wrong.

Trillions in debt, state run banks, abandoning allies, President attacking private citizens…

Nopherhole must be wrong.

Newsweek must be passing along innuendo. Obama is a God.

Obama: Not Keeping Promise of Transparency | Newsweek Politics text excerpt below –

As a senator, Barack Obama denounced the Bush administration for holding “secret energy meetings” with oil executives at the White House. But last week public-interest groups were dismayed when his own administration rejected a Freedom of Information Act request for Secret Service logs showing the identities of coal executives who had visited the White House to discuss Obama’s “clean coal” policies….

Time to Drill – Clean the Environment

With friends we now have in the Arab world and South American commie states, it is now safe to undertake the largest oil spill cleanup on the planet. Within 200 miles of the shores of America lies an oil spill numbering in the billions, no trillions, of barrels.

We can clean it up. It lies in pools below the surface of the planet, but if we can transfer it through some process that makes it into something else, like polyethylene water bottles, we can protect the world for at least seven hundred years.

While the process may have to be repeated as these pools have been proven to refill as tests of available molecules in presently tapped pools have proven, we must start now. By sequestering carbonated water in the polyethylene bottles, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere could be reduced for at least seven hundred years, AND, give us the ability to fine tune the global climate by shaking up some bottles occasionally.

Finally, the climate would never change, it would stay a constant seventy two degrees with rain only at night, in Camelot! Those are the legal laws!
