Rating: - quality at a bargainI originally had looked at and was going to purchase a more expensive item. I went with this because of the reviews and am very happy I did. I ordered 2 lengths and they are beautiful. Strong, shiny,and will be a compliment to any of my charms or pendants. Happily will order from this co. again. Rating: - Need dainty fingersI love this chain. It's very pretty and looks expensive. I bought two different lengths and am glad I did. My only problem is that I struggle with the dainty fastening hardware. I was bringing the necklace to work and asking for help putting it on until I added a short extender with a larger clasp and now I'm happy. If you have a hubby or child who can help, then it would be a 5-star product! Gem Avenue, the vendor, is great.... Rating: - Perfect ~I bought this chain as a replacement chain for a very special locket. I am impressed by the sturdy quality - yet delicate beauty. It is perfect for what I wanted it for. Thank you. :-) Rating: - Like starlightTo hold this chain in your hand is like holding shining starlight. It's a tough chain, despite its delicate appearance, and this is the second one I've purchased. I will without doubt be buying another! Rating: - Excellent qualityI was impressed with how soft and reflective the chain is. I purchased it to complement a Italian Horn Charm by Rembrandt Charms, and two look lovely together. I would recommend this chain to anyone that has a need for a very well polished and shiny chain, or looking to combine a chain with more sterling silver charms. It also came packaged in a wonderful gift box, which I was not aware of when I purchased it. |
Hurricanes, as we've seen, can wreak serious havoc when they strike populated areas. We've never had control over them before, but one researcher thinks they could be broken up with F-4 fighter jets.
In theory, sending in a pair of the jets to do loops around the eye of the hurricane while it's still out over the ocean, creating sonic booms, would break it up before it hits the shore.
Jet fighters flying at supersonic speeds along special trajectories with a hurricane/typhoon at various altitudes would create supersonic booms. In one such embodiment, the trajectories for the supersonic booms of the present invention are counter to the rotational component of the hurricane and/or typhoon being targeted. As such, supersonic booms can be tailored and/or designed to partially and/or fully -negate the basic rotational contribution in a hurricane by slowing down a hurricane's/typhoon's rotation. Additionally, when supersonic booms propagate downward to the surface of the ocean they also destabilize a hurricane's/typhoon's structure by increasing the pressure in the central part of a hurricane's/typhoon's eye.
It's a pretty crazy idea, but I guess it makes sense. It would be pretty amazing to be able to stop any hurricane before it hit shore, saving millions and millions of dollars and who knows how many lives. I can't wait for them to test this out. [Patent via AV Web; Thanks, Jason!]
