Abstract

A method and system to make a cyclone. Delivery of almost vertical sun energy to a water target area is accomplished using floating mirrors. One or more Floating Mirrors are suspended from balloons or alternatively place in orbit around the earth, and are parked and maintained at a given position above the earth using the Global Positioning System (GPS). Pluralities of Floating Mirrors can be utilized to extend the sun exposure time over a given target area. By heating a column of air using the present invention water evaporates causing a cyclone to form. The cyclone in combination with the evaporated water causes rain to fall in the area of the cyclone thus creating localized weather patterns. The cyclone forming mechanism produces fresh water from seawater and in effect can transport water to desired locations depending on meteorological conditions.

Claims

1. A method for making a cyclone comprising;

delivering the sun'"'"'s energy to a target area in a vertical or near-vertical orientation.

2. The method for making a cyclone of claim 1 wherein:

delivering the sun'"'"'s energy further comprises reflecting the sun'"'"'s energy by positioning a floating mirror over the target area.

3. The method for making a cyclone of claim 2 further comprising:

orienting the floating mirror to collect the sun'"'"'s rays and to reflect the sun'"'"'s rays onto the target area.

4. The method for making a cyclone of claim 3 further comprising:

maintaining the position of the floating mirror over the target area for a user defined period of time.

5. The method for making a cyclone of claim 4 wherein:

maintaining the position of the floating mirror over the target area further comprises defining a desired position for the floating mirror in three dimensions;

receiving signals from a global positioning system (GPS) at the floating mirror indicating the three dimensional position of the floating mirror; and

adjusting the position of the floating mirror via a propulsion system to maintain the desired position.

6. The method for making a cyclone of claim 2 wherein the floating mirror comprises adaptive optics.

7. The method for making a cyclone of claim of claim 6 wherein adaptive optics cause a modification in the curvature of the floating mirror.

8. The method for making a cyclone of claim 2 wherein position the floating mirror is over a target area comprises suspending the floating mirror from a balloon.

9. The method for making a cyclone of claim 8 wherein suspending the mirror from a balloon further comprises:

establishing an altitude for the balloon in the regions consisting of the stratosphere, the thermosphere, and the mesophere.

10. A method for desalinizing water comprising:

delivering the sun'"'"'s energy to a sea water target area in a vertical or near-vertical orientation.

11. The method for desalinizing water of claim 10 wherein:

delivering the sun'"'"'s energy further comprises reflecting the sun'"'"'s energy by positioning a floating mirror over the target area.

12. The method for desalinizing water of claim 11 further comprising:

orienting the floating mirror to collect the sun'"'"'s rays and to reflect the sun'"'"'s rays onto the target area.

13. The method for desalinizing water of claim 12 further comprising:

maintaining the position of the floating mirror over the target area for a user defined period of time.

14. The method for desalinizing water of claim 13 wherein:

maintaining the position of the floating mirror over the target area further comprises defining a desired position for the floating mirror in three dimensions;

receiving signals from a global positioning system (GPS) at the floating mirror indicating the three dimensional position of the floating mirror; and

adjusting the position of the floating mirror via a propulsion system to maintain the desired position.

15. The method for desalinizing water of claim 10 wherein the floating mirror comprises adaptive optics.

16. The method for desalinizing water of claim 15 wherein the adaptive optics cause a modification in the curvature of the floating mirror.

17. A method for ozone layer replenishment comprising:

delivering the sun'"'"'s energy to a target area in a vertical or near-vertical orientation.

18. The method for ozone layer replenishment of claim 17 wherein:

delivering the sun'"'"'s energy further comprises reflecting the sun'"'"'s energy by positioning a floating mirror over the target area.

19. The method for ozone layer replenishment of claim 18 further comprising:

orienting the floating mirror to collect the sun'"'"'s rays and to reflect the sun'"'"'s rays onto the target area.

20. The method for ozone layer replenishment of claim 19 further comprising:

maintaining the position of the floating mirror over the target area for a user defined period of time.

21. The method for ozone layer replenishment of claim 20 wherein:

maintaining the position of the floating mirror over the target area further comprises defining a desired position for the floating mirror in three dimensions;

receiving signals from a global positioning system (GPS) at the floating mirror indicating the three dimensional position of the floating mirror; and

adjusting the position of the floating mirror via a propulsion system to maintain the desired position.

22. The method for ozone layer replenishment of claim 18 wherein the floating mirror comprises adaptive optics.

23. The method for ozone layer replenishment of claim 22 wherein adaptive optics cause a modification in the curvature of the floating mirror.

24. The method for ozone layer replenishment of claim 18 wherein position the floating mirror over a target area further comprises suspending the floating mirror from a balloon.

25. The method for ozone layer replenishment of claim 24 wherein suspending the mirror from a balloon further comprises:

establishing an altitude for the balloon in the regions consisting of the stratosphere, the thermosphere, and the mesophere.
