ABSTRACT:
A chemical which allows water to chemically join its crystalline lattice is applied to the eye wall of a tropical cyclone to initiate a self destructive catalyzing effect. If applied in powdered form to the upper, center portions of the eye wall, the effect will be greater. Water vapor within the eye wall chemically joins the lattice of the chemical. These larger molecules will also develop through collision and coalesce. Now the vapor of the eye wall is heavier and will spin outwards from Centrifugal Force. As a result of the larger eye, barometric pressure in the eye increases, wind speed slows, and the storm surge decreases to minimal proportions.
