00:00as the Sun warms up the surface of the ocean the heat radiating upwards acts as the fuel for hurricanes the Psalter sink is simply a way to stir up the ocean essentially a large pump powered by waves it can push hot water from the ocean surface to depths where it can mix up with the colder water below this large yellow ring acts as an artificial Beach that captures water from waves with each wave a hydraulic head is produced that pumps more water down a sink had be constructed of recycled tires and other basic construction
00:37materials where hurricanes form the ocean is about 82 degrees Fahrenheit on the surface as divers know the water is much colder down below using unlimited free wave energy and no moving parts Salter sinks achieve gigawatt thermal pumping rates water exits the Salter sink 500 feet below where the average temperature is only 50 degrees Fahrenheit this warm water cools as it rises mixing with the colder waters at depth this is a simple way to perform a gargantuan task that could prevent billions of dollars in damage and save
01:17many many lives thousands of Salter sinks would be needed to reduce the surface temperatures over the vast amount of ocean where these storms are formed
