'Twisted' Energy?

" We're keeping an eye on the Dow Jones Industrial Average down about 300 points now loyal to blame bank stocks to blame we'll have more on that coming up. In the meantime there are unpredictable that are uncontrollable and sometimes quite deadly. But could tornadoes B key to all of our energy woes get this. Scientists say a single tornado has as much energy is an entire power plant and now Canadian engineers says he wants to speed up his own man made twister. And extract its energy. Lewis must show says if he's successful he could harvest enough electricity to power a small city. Is this real. Or just science fiction was asked the man himself -- showed joins us now on the telephone. How do you create or manufacture. A tornado and and how in the world would you harness and exploit the tremendous energy."

" Had a terrible book attendant but we called the device did not create some say is not particularly. To -- true tornado in -- yet to produce when that he just couldn't afford a convection. The atmosphere heated at -- solar radiation could cool from the topic for attribution to space. That mechanical used to produce from the -- put the connection because the work produced an expansion are rising because there is more than the work. Required to compress the depending. The politics is produced by admitting error warm where you videos into a circle that area -- just spent."

" And they need is wind turbines to sort of capture that mom. How big would this structure beating contain the man made tornado and and you know what's the cost."

" This character with -- something like just 200 meters in diameter. Maybe fifty to hundred meters hard. Don't protect in the center might be thirty meters in diameter at the base and that would extend. All the ways it's easier to be topped the purpose here -- fifteen. Kilometers high and it could produce 200 megawatts to could be put 30 megawatt -- all around. See you both sides of the station."

" I think this is the video you're looking at. Is this ferry that now can assist them. But it any rate human warm air enters it decides what happens when it does that this by the way is -- told me caught under -- a bridging Kansas and mirrors the tornado you get the sense of the velocity."

" you will be a tremendous amount of energy there and the reason why you're getting such a big velocity at the bottom. It's because you've got this. -- quite cold warm air which is less than in the field around it sort of pressure at that point is what Clinton elsewhere."

" How many megawatts of electricity could be extracted from this man made torment tornado."

" But imported megawatt which is enough to supply -- city -- maybe -- 100000 people. What's the downside. We'll -- I don't think there's -- madame Heidi doesn't you can fuel. Basically do you you're using tighter than that at least he didn't. They're such as you know he could -- the Earth's surface or waste heat my power plant which is available in. In white quality or from other --"

" You've tested several small prototypes. What kind of reaction are you getting anybody interested in building this."

" I'm getting -- interest recently yes there has been are still in my clients. Yesterday and it was more than. New scientist last week. So did everything current standard is very strong scientific basis for this I explained that. Quite. It in detail on our web site -- published. Nine. The peer reviewed papers really in this subject to have we have consultants. Doctor Kerry Emanuel at MIT and implement what university of the Michigan indeed confirmed that it asylum. The scientific basis okay and that's an American universities and so on."

" Hey maybe this is the answer how or at least one of them. Louis -- show thank you very much good luck to you thank you thought."
