somehow, someway &#8212; stop these storms from forming or destroy the storms as they are forming?<\/p>\n<p>Well, Bruce Morton, a retired aerospace engineer and rocket scientist, may have the answer.\u00a0 He has been awarded several U.S. patents from the U.S. Patent &amp; Trademark Office (USPTO) for preventing the formation of hurricanes, the most recent of which (<a href=\"https:\/\/ppubs.uspto.gov\/dirsearch-public\/print\/downloadBasicPdf\/12108709?requestToken=eyJzdWIiOiI2MzkzYjkwZS0yZGE1LTRhMDctYWY5Mi0yZDQ5OThiZjgzYzAiLCJ2ZXIiOiIzZTY0YzI2ZS0xMTYwLTQzOTUtODdmMi1kZmZlOTNlNTEwOTgiLCJleHAiOjB9\">U.S. Patent No. 12,108,709<\/a>) just issued yesterday on October 8, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The patent is titled &#8220;Technology and Technique to Prevent, Diminish or Interfere with the Formation of Sea and Land-Based Storms Such As Hurricanes and Tornados on Earth&#8221; and introduces a method of focusing energy, for example, in the form of microwave energy, solar energy or laser energy,\u00a0 onto segments of a rotating tropical depression.\u00a0 This energy interrupts and destabilizes the tropical depression ultimately preventing the tropical depression from forming into a tropical storm or hurricane.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, the energy is beamed from above using solar-powered satellites, as shown below.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-1470\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;\" src=\"https:\/\/hlflegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/US12108709.png\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/hlflegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/US12108709.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"461\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27960%27%20height%3D%27461%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20960%20461%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27960%27%20height%3D%27461%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/hlflegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/US12108709-200x96.png 200w, https:\/\/hlflegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/US12108709-300x144.png 300w, https:\/\/hlflegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/US12108709-400x192.png 400w, https:\/\/hlflegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/US12108709-600x288.png 600w, https:\/\/hlflegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/US12108709-768x369.png 768w, https:\/\/hlflegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/US12108709-800x384.png 800w, https:\/\/hlflegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/US12108709.png 960w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For more information on our firm, please visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/hlflegal.com\/?page_id=1079\">About page<\/a> or send us an <a href=\"https:\/\/hlflegal.com\/?page_id=744\">inquiry<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1469,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[27,29,31],"tags":[37,32,34],"class_list":["post-1468","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-technology","category-news","category-patents","tag-new-technology","tag-patent","tag-patents"],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/hlflegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/hurricane.jpg","featured_image_src_square":"https:\/\/hlflegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/hurricane.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Benjamin M.
