Michaud a 72-year-old grandfather and former Exxonmobil engineer has spent his golden years trying to manufacture tornadoes--tornadoes that he believes could eventually power the world.
or tornado would be more effective because it would be easier to capture the energy of moving air via a turbine than to capture the energy involved in condensation.
He made his first prototype of the Atmospheric Vortex Engine (AVE) a machine that produces mini tornadoes--in 2005
***To understand how artificial tornadoes could generate electricity it helps to know how a tornado works in the natural world.
Tornadoes start when conditions are just right when air closest to the Earth's surface is at least 20 degrees Celsius warmer than the air above.
Higher up the wind speed of the tornado will spin the wheels of attached turbines generating energy.
And the vortexes that would result could rise a whopping 15 kilometers in the air (natural tornadoes have clocked in at almost 9 kilometers high.
What you're doing is feeding it from the bottom he says adding that simply closing the lower vents that feed hot air will stop the cycle and kill the tornado.
if the vortex engines remove hot air from surrounding areas they could actually prevent a tornado from occurring as there's less heat to start one.**

Remote-controlled drones are much better at flying through smoke than human pilots: their infrared eyes can track the edge of a fire even through the thickest air.
When the Forest Service asked the Federal Aviation Administration for permission to use unmanned aerial systems to monitor wildfires the FAA said no
so long as an operator on board another aircraft could see it at all times. That undermines the whole reason for using a drone of course
Flying through smoke is a great task for a drone but requiring another plane to follow along behind it defeats the whole point of using an unmanned plane in the first place.
Flying tracking the edges of forest fires should be one of the least controversial uses of drones ever.
and perhaps replace manned surveillance aircraft potentially reducing the risk to both pilots and firefighters.
But the effort is being slowed by Federal Aviation Administration regulations. The use of drones in open airspace is regulated by the F. A a
If distance or the smoke of a wildfire obscures a drone from observers on the ground a piloted aircraft must be sent aloft to keep an eye on it.
âÂ#Âoein terms of federal regulations right now we can t use U. A s. s out there except on a very limited basisã¢Â# said Ron Hanks the aviation safety
Rusty Warbis the flight operations manager at the Bureau of Land Management said the process of approving individual trial flights was âÂ#Âoecumbersomeã¢Â# though improving.
The evaluations by wildfire experts are part of larger questions on how to incorporate these aircraft originally used for military purposes into civilian missions.
Their potential usefulness particularly their ability to pinpoint hot spots and fly in thick smoke that would ground other aircraft was shown in an Alaskan fire nearly four years ago.
The fire which burned over 447000 acres roughly half the size of Rhode island northeast of Fairbanks was generating so much smoke that no planes were permitted to fly overhead.
âÂ#Âoethe smoke was so thick no one was flying that s why they came to usã¢Â# said Rosanne Bailey a retired Air force brigadier general who is the deputy director of the Alaska Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration
for that flight in 2009; the process is now down to about 24 hours. But privacy concerns are slowing the integration of unmanned vehicles into the firefighters tool kit said Senator Mark Begich a freshman Democrat from Alaska.
âÂ# The reason cited most often by firefighting experts is the requirement that the aircraft be followed
The Army has lent the Interior department 41 small drone aircraft that have been used for environmental monitoring including tracking migratory wildfowl.
what we could do aerially against a helicopter or a light fixed-wing airplane. âÂ# John Gould the aviation chief at the B. L. M. who along with Mr. Hanks is based at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise Idaho had a similarly cautious perspective.

And most importantly fat astronauts would have the naturally happy type of personality needed for long duration space flights.
Virgin Galactic proudly touts the fact that each of the passengers who will fly into suborbital space on its Spaceship2 will emit less carbon dioxide than a typical air passenger on a flight from New york to London.
The reason black carbon doesn't wreak more havoc on the environment is that it has a short lifetime in the lower atmosphere precipitation washes away black carbon emissions from planes and other sources within a matter of weeks.
Moroever rockets produce over 1000 times more black carbon per unit of fuel than standard aircraft.

In contrast the radiative forcing of the black carbon placed for just a few weeks into the atmosphere by jets is less than 1/10 of that of its carbon dioxide.**
airlines model. That creates 1000 opportunities to shoot black carbon directly into the stratosphere. The amount of black carbon emitted during combustion On earth
or in the trophosphere where airlines fly tends to be low because of the relatively rich supply of oxygen.
The Federal Aviation Administration (F. A a.)the organization responsible for assessing environmental impacts and deciding whether to grant licenses to launch vehicles into space says the effects of black carbon in the stratosphere are unclear.
Andrew Nelson the chief operating officer of XCOR Aerospace which is currently selling $95000 tickets for suborbital flights says that the blend of kerosene
If black carbon is such a problem why didn't they mention it during NASA flights?
Current space flight government and private is too intermittent to be too much of and issue.
Note the nonretractable landing gear and externally carried missiles. However stealthy the Hamaseh's bulbous head may appear exposed landing gear missiles
and a push propeller are the opposite of stealth. Why? Because they stick out from the drone in a way that catches radio waves
and makes them visible to radar. For contrast here is the U s. Navy's state-of-the-art X-47b stealth drone in flight.
With the landing gear retracted into a smooth belly there are hardly any broad perpendicular edges for enemy radar to detect.
and it's propelled by an integrated jet engine not an exterior propeller. The X-47b carries weapons in two internal bays.
It is a tailless strike fighter-sized unmanned aircraft currently under development by Northrop grumman as part of the U s. Navy s Unmanned Combat Air System Carrier Demonstration (UCAS-D) program.

The safety of nuclear energy is equal to flying an airplane. On a typical day life is good
but when an airplane falls from the sky and you are in it it only ends in as a gigantic disaster.
Flying (at least flying in commercial airliners which the rest of your comment indicates you were talking about) is by far the safest mode of transportation.
We (mis) perceive the risk of airline travel because every airliner crash becomes a major international news story.
Meanwhile tens of thousands of auto (and cycle) deaths every year barely rate a mention in the local paper.

#Yesterday morning an Alitalia pilot reported seeing a remote-controlled aircraft near New york's JFK AIRPORT where he was landing.
The drone was flying about 4 to 5 miles west of the airport at an altitude of about 1750 feet
and it came within just 200 feet of the Alitalia plane the pilot said. The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident
and the FBI announced that it is looking for information leading to the drone operator.
Until then unmanned aircraft are governed by model airplane rules and model airplane rules are pretty lax.
Older laws for model aircraft forbade flying anything above 400 feet. This is still a recognized guideline by the Academy of Model Aeronautics the lobbyist group that represents model aircraft hobbyists
but the height ceiling hasn't been on the books since at least 2012. Instead unmanned remotely piloted aircraft have to be visible to the naked eye
which might mean just a couple hundred feet in cloudy weather or much further than the recommended 400 feet in good weather.
Visual range notwithstanding 1750 feet of altitude is well beyond the reach of most commercially available model aircraft.
While the 2012 act re-authorizing the FAA removed the height ceiling for model aircraft it was very clear about boundaries around an airport.
Flying a drone within 5 miles of an airport requires notifying that airport; otherwise you risk prosecution.
Initial reports place the drone at 4 to 5 miles away from the airport which means it isn't clear
whether this drone broke that rule or not. If the drone flew closer than that
and did so without notifying air traffic control it would've been illegal. The construction of the drone however is very likely to have been totally legal.
Model aircraft regulations let you fly anything under 55 pounds and following AMA guidelines everything from absolute altitude to size to any sensors a drone might have on board is legal.
Finally there's H r. 658 SEC. 336 (a) 4. This part of the 2012 FAA reauthorization states explicitly flying a model aircraft is legal
only if the aircraft is operated in a manner that does not interfere with and gives way to any manned aircraft.
Flying within 200 feet of an airliner definitely absolutely in no uncertain terms violates that law
so let's just say this is very illegal. Should the incident worry us? Probably. Think about your last driving commute
In 2009 US AIRWAYS flight 1549 made a crash landing in the Hudson river after geese knocked out both engines.
It's incredibly unlikely that model airplanes will regularly pose as great a threat as geese
but the introduction of a whole new category of aircraft to the skies will make things a lot more crowded.
Until then we're stuck with the increasingly outdated model airplane laws we have. A clarification on the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 cited earlier.
Rather than setting out specific legal restrictions on model aircraft the law as written spells out five criteria that
if met put the model aircraft beyond FAA regulation. These criteria are hobbyist purpose under 55lbs kept in line of sight doesn't interfere with manned aircraft
and if flown within 5 miles of an airport the air traffic controller is notified beforehand.
The FAA is free to regulate drones and model airplanes that don't meet those five criteria.
It just doesn't. A drone besides a remote camera is also a remote weapon.
So hell yes it should be illegal within 5 miles of any airport. This part of the 2012 FAA reauthorization states explicitly flying a model aircraft is legal
only if the aircraft is operated in a manner that does not interfere with and gives way to any manned aircraft.
Flying within 200 feet of an airliner definitely absolutely in no uncertain terms violates that law
so let's just say this is very illegal. How is that very illegal? It was not in the airliner's way
and it didn't interfere with it. It was just close. Also it couldn't have been close very long because
I doubt it was going at most third as fast as the jet...No harm no foul.
I suppose a civilian drone with an attach laser pointer pointing into the cockpit of a plane would be bad too.@
@gizmowiz FAA guidelines are VERY stringent about object ingestion and the resulting after effects. If a small drone were ingested it would cause the failure of the engine.
Jets can fly on one engine. It would mean that the flight would be promoted to emergency status
but may not necessarily result in a crash. Don't let your paranoia dictate policy. Yes drones shouldn't fly near airports
but drones are not inherently evil. Drones can save lives as well as end them. If you want to talk about vehicles acting as weapons I give you the average car.@
and aiming one well enough to temporarily blind one of the pilots (and there are two) is almost completely impossible.
If anything this incident should highlight the immediate need for a new air traffic control system. The one we have is overtaxed ancient and incapable of meeting future needs as few as 10 years from now.
If the drone was only 200 feet away from the plane that is a bit worrisome. But I'd wait to hear results from the full investigation before judging it completely.
If the quadcopter operator was intentionally trying to get close to the plane that is reckless and should be punished IMO
Make it socould Popsci please talk to an aviation lawyer or at least someone from the Academy of Model Aeronautics before writing a story like this?
and a first-person view (FPV) model aircraft enthusiast who has studied this extensively. The truth is that at present there are absolutely no legally binding rules or regulations governing hobbyist model aircraft.
The FAA's rules which include the mythical 400'altitude limit are in fact nothing more than advisory guidelines.
And the model aircraft provision in the law passed by Congress last year do nothing more than define the parameters to qualify for a relatively narrow exemption for a particular subset of model aircraft from any future FAA regulations.
which may affect certain types of model aircraft but those have yet to even be published let alone take legal effect.
Now I certainly don't condone flying any kind of model aircraft at 1500'in the middle of an approach route to a major airport
And doing so in that particular place could indeed still be considered illegal under a general provision in the Federal Aviation Regulations prohibiting careless or reckless operation of an aircraft.
either imposing any kind of altitude requirement on recreational model aircraft or requiring you to keep the model in visual line of sight.
While the FAA officially expects model aircraft to remain within visual line of sight and recommends that you stay below 400'there is no actual legally enforceable requirement to do so.
Personally I own a 5 foot-long video piloted flying wing that is capable of flying up to several thousand feet above the ground and which
I usually do stay below 400-500 feet to make sure to stay away from aircraft which except for around airports almost always fly much higher.
There is nothing illegal about what I do and I always make sure to take every safety precaution possible keeping aware of any aircraft in the area
and making sure to avoid flying anywhere near them. As for this story I find it rather doubtful a pilot could actually see a quadcopter in the middle of the sky (it's hard enough to see them from the ground only a few hundred feet away which is why most quadcopters are flown through video cameras)
and the last time an airplane pilot reported seeing a drone in the air it turned out to be a wayward Chinese lantern.
But if there really was a quadcopter near the airliner I just want people to know that such foolishness is extremely rare among drone hobbyists who are generally very good at flying safely
and using common sense. People who do things like this give the rest of us a bad name
and endanger a harmless and fun hobby that an ever-growing number of people enjoy.
Blatantly false news stories like this which misrepresent the law and our legal status are not helping as they only cause hobbyists like myself to come under criticism for supposedly violating nonexistent laws.
In an area like this where everything having to do with these pilotless aircraft is coming under scrutiny they've got their work cut out for them.
We may end up with Wifi ATC and hobbyists filing flight plans.@@Serithian Laws don't mean shit.
