Although in 2008 announced his retirement from the direction of Microsoft (which was created in 1975), his name remains on the center stage. Bill Gates, the richest man in the world (Forbes magazine estimated his fortune at U.S. $ 50,000 million) and one of the most important today, now wants to be a 'Superhero' against hurricanes.
As reported by the tech blog TechFlash, a Seattle newspaper, Gates patented a system to stop these weather phenomena. This mechanism was designed to deal directly with a natural disaster of this kind. How it works The plan is to act before the formation of hurricanes in the middle of the ocean.
Hurricanes are generated, among other variables, when heated over the sea. Gates's proposal is to cool the water through the volume mixing vessels is at the surface (warmer) and what is in deeper waters. For such an operation would require vessels able to navigate and operate in extreme conditions, it should work, literally in the eye of the storm.
The news sparked immediate interest from various agencies and newspapers on line in the world. And impact among environmentalists, who question to what extent While human intervention in natural phenomena.
On the other hand, many scientists were ordered to clarify who had worked with the idea of \u200b\u200breducing the temperature of the sea as a solution to stop the formation of hurricanes.
Most of these projects always hit the same problem: it would cover a huge ocean surface and that would be extremely expensive. But Gates, who is part of a company called Intellectual Ventures "with Nathan Myhrvold, former Microsoft chief technology officer, also thought about how to tackle your project. Everything would be funded through insurance policies in the areas usually affected by disasters climate, and should also get support from the U.S. government. Reports say he is already working on the implementation of this project, which could be ready sooner than most believe.
