    Will this change when Canada, Greenland, Panama, and now Gaza are added to it?

    I have some engineering concerns.

    For one, reducing the turbulence area and increasing the air intake at that angle is going to create a vortex effect near the intake. This could lead to dangerous cavitation and knocking effects. It’s likely will require splitting the power train into two chambers, with an internal membrane. My suggestion is somewhere near the Mason carpetbagger and the Dixon scalawag.

    For two, I think that was genius what you’ve done with the reduction of the diffuser, minimizing drag, but where, my friend, do you plan to dispose of all the waste products? We don’t want those infecting the rest of the machine, and I think it’s disingenuous to think we can just empty those right out into the environment without some kind of regulatory backlash.

    Separate Cyprus from the sea floor, use it as a giant ship and become the greatest naval power for centuries.

      That’s why we have all those wind farms on the east coast - we can all pretend there are winds from the east and we can turn them on and off at will

      We’ve all seen evidence of the technology experiments to allow the fans to point north and south right? Those “hurricanes” and “nor’easters” aren’t something that just happen without a lot of coordination and advanced tech

      All we gotta do is turn most of the wind farms pointing north up the coast, but then reverse the ones in Maine, to create a “nor’easter” and Boston gets a turn to say “send fema money, look: a natural disaster”
