Chapter 6 Tornados and Hurricanes
"All these things are is air and water"… "It's all in how you stir the pot." Kinney M. Adams - Storm Chaser
When I had the 3 dimensional model up and running in Derive (see chapter 15) it took a while to learn how to manipulate it. My first view was the full shape or Full Model as shown in Figure 6-1. Note- the 1/2 spherical outer shell is shown for reference only.
Figure 6-1 It took a little work but I finally figured out how to get the Half and Quarter Models. Initially I spent most of my time observing the Quarter Model, watching it rotate. My first impression was it looked a little like a tornado (compare Figure 6-1 Quarter Model with Figure 6-2), I say that not because I am an expert but only because of all of the shapes I could identify it with, tornado was the one. The strange thing I noticed was the outer surface seemed to behave differently than the inner surface; they appeared to move opposite of each other. It happened to be the spring of the year and the weather, discovery and science channels all were running stories about tornadoes. Much of what I saw seemed to match this Quarter Model.
Figure 6-2 I began to realize that I could model much of what was observed. It was more than just the shape with the hook at the end and the corkscrew effect going on, but if you think about the line where the flow in the model crosses inward, could cause much of the electrical magnetic charges associated with them.
I spent a fair amount of time researching tornados and electromagnetic fields, but the problem with tornados, this type of information is sparse. Even the cause of tornados seems to be unknown. I have backed off looking at this model being able to model a tornado because of lack of information. I do think the model in the future could be used to model tornados, but before this can happen, a list of unknowns about tornados needs to be developed.
The Half Model (in Figure 5-1) I believe can model hurricanes. Last year (2004) and the beginning of 2005 has given us a series of hurricanes and with them a wealth of information. Using this model the difference between a hurricane and tornado is the number of flows that produce it. I believe only one flow into a space, (space being defined as a low pressure area) can produce a tornado, but two flows are needed to produce the effects seen by a hurricane. A hurricane will have twice the electromagnetic force per density as a tornado.

If you look at experiment 2 in chapter 5 at times; 8:19, 10:22, 13:37 and 18:47 you will see something similar to the hurricane in Figure 6-3, this is where a one portion (or flow direction) is higher than the other. Also, in experiment 2 in chapter 5, the amount of twisting action going on inside the jar is much greater than in experiment 1.
Will this model a hurricane? The answer is the same as a tornado. What is missing on both is what we know that we don’t know, or put another way, a list of what the mysteries are. From what I’ve read about tornados and hurricanes there are many things we don’t know. I have been unable to find a list.
To understand the need for this list see chapter 7 on the sun.
The following is a mini diary of my thoughts about Hurricanes with dates: 7/17/2005 I find the hurricane the most mysterious of all of natures wonders; more so than anything we see in the universe and anything the microscopic or quantum world has revealed to date. The Huh model has provided logic to these abstract worlds and whether right or wrong I feel I can grasp what is going on and how they could be working. With the hurricane however there is no fixed space (needed for the model) and no obvious external source of flow. To me it appears that whatever is causing the hurricane is not visible and what we are viewing is the effect of this cause and not the cause.
8/30/2005 I can picture flows taking place in the water that would follow the model. If this were the case then what we see and call a hurricane is only the effect of these flows in the water. Today as write this the news is covering the devastation by hurricane Katrina (8-30-2005) in the Gulf of Mexico. Yesterday on the news I learned of what is called 'Loop Current' in the Gulf, and it is said to be the cause of taking a category 1 or 2 hurricane and transforming it into the category 4 or 5 hurricane that blasted the northern coast.
The Texas A & M's Department of Oceanography website: http://www-ocean.tamu.edu/Quarterdeck/QD6.1/spin.html has an excellent explanation of this loop current.
8-31-2005 If you look at Figure 6-1 the "Full Model" on the left is what I now believe a hurricane looks like underwater in the Gulf of Mexico (actually anywhere). What's happening is a weakly formed hurricane enters what amounts to a container or in terms of the Huh model a^3, it is a confined space. The hurricane is releasing '+' and '-' flows in the water that are interacting with the strong flows that are already there. The flows run into each other and forces the bound under water hurricane to increase compression, size and rotational speed. Figure 6-4 shows what it might look like. The storm surge could be made up of the violent counter rotating forces in the water and not just the waves caused by the front winds. I
Figure 6-4 What the hurricane might look like above and below the water.
9/23/2005 Hurricane Rita is heading towards Galveston Texas and 100 miles or so off the coast is the Texas Flower Gardens. These Flower Gardens are actually colorful coral reefs in approximately 100 feet of water. If the engine of the hurricane is under water, these Flower gardens should show damage after hurricane Rite moves through.
10/25/2005 After hurricanes Katrina and Rita I started looking for underwater damage and found a term called coral bleaching. This is where the coral looks like it has been soaked in bleach, it becomes discolored and very white. The blame is placed on warmer water temperatures. It wasn't until Rita hit that they noticed this bleaching in the Texas Flower Gardens. If the heart of a hurricane is underwater then Figure 6-4 could explain the bleaching.
When I started this project hurricanes was at the bottom of my list of priorities. While the model produced results that resembled hurricanes there were many things that didn't fit. If the source or cause is under the water instead of above water that changes everything and the model would work. I now plan on gathering more data and returning to study them further using this model.
