Can a big shockwave disrupt a tornado and cease its formation?
In: Planetary Science
If you could figure out how to rapidly inject a tornado with several billion tons of a cold water mist you might avoid nukes.
Or just power the cold water with nukes.
Are cold nukes a thing yet ?
Anti steam
Nope, and nope again.
The energy required is ridiculous. You would have to use a lot of nukes and then spread the fallout out a bit too!
People keep saying to stop it you need to use heat, so what if we just used giant microwave emmiters or something directly at them, would the microwaves heat up the air particles??
Our last president has a great idea, it was about hurricanes but it could be applied to tornadoes, we just nuke ’em.
All we need to do is have everyone turn on their house fans and point them the opposite direction of the tornado. It will cancel it out.
I’d like to imagine that in like a thousand years local fire departments will all have “tornado cannons” that they pull out whenever a tornado gets a little too close
Would messing with tornados and hurricanes also mess with ecology and whatnot. There’s gotta be some natural proccess that makez use of tornados to move over vast areas or something
Also if we stopped all tornados, would there be just like, way too much wind in the world.
Tornadoes are fixing an imbalance, the amount of energy required to fix an imbalance between two fronts is a required amount of energy, so the shockwave would be similarly damaging as letting the tornado do its thing.
Surely if we fly enough drones into a tornado flying the opposite direction of the wind it would reverse direction and putting everything back where it belongs right?
Tornadoes have a LOT of energy in them, I mean a in and above a GJ range… Just the sheer volume of moving air.
We are talking about more than nuclear power plants (plural) worth of energies.

The idea is good, that we could cancel out the kinetic energy of a tornado somehow. But for that we would need nukes. Equally destructive
