First Claim

1. A method for destabilizing a dynamic atmospheric vortex structure, the method comprising:
- providing a cluster of spatially oriented discrete mechanical elements at a location relative to the vortex structure to thereby produce an area of local active anisotropy, which creates a non-stationary, turbulent field with significant anisotropy that destabilizes the vortex structure.

Abstract
Various methods and systems for protecting humans as well as individual objects from tornadoes and other naturally occurring dynamic atmospheric vortex structures are described. Active protective systems interact with such vortex structures leading to destabilization and destruction of the vortex structures. The energy required for the destabilization and destruction of the vortex structure is taken from the energy from the vortex structure itself. The method requires no external energy sources for destabilization and destruction of vortex structures such as tornadoes.

- 15. A method for protecting an object from a dynamic atmospheric vortex structure, the method comprising positioning a cluster of protective structures at a location relative to the vortex structure to produce an area of local active anisotropy, which creates a non-stationary, turbulent field with significant anisotropy that destabilizes the vortex structure and thereby protects the object.
- 30. A cluster of spatially oriented discrete mechanical elements adapted to produce an area of local active anisotropy upon sufficiently close proximity to a dynamic atmospheric vortex structure.

44. A selectively positionable protective structure for protecting an object from a dynamic atmospheric vortex structure, the selectively positionable protective structure comprising:
a plurality of modules, each module including a collection of elementary turbulent transformers, the plurality of modules configured to exhibit a G parameter value of from about 0.0001 to about 10 m, wherein the plurality of modules is positionable between (i) a non-use mode in which the plurality of modules lays flat or is retracted in ground so that the plurality of modules are substantially hidden from view, and (ii) a use mode in which the plurality of modules extends vertically upward. - View Dependent Claims (45, 46, 47)
