Patent Granted for a System That Manipulates Hurricanes

Although it sounds like science fiction or a conspiracy theory, weather manipulation technology already exists on a certain level.

The most well known of this technology being cloud seeding.

Technology described as a "manual processes to moderate weather" has allegedly been granted an official patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Oh, and according to the patent, other than the Federal Government, three other big investors on this project are 21st Century Fox, The Walt Disney Company, and The Vatican.

Grab your best tinfoil hat and let's dive in...

Before we go any further, we just want to make clear that a patent does not necessarily mean that weather is being manipulated. It just means that an official patent exists, and the patent we're about to talk about was officially backed by Federal Government amongst others.

Are There Ways To Control The Weather?

Talking about controlling the weather sounds pretty unhinged, but while we don't currently have methods for controlling weather in a consistent and precise way, there have been some efforts and technologies developed to influence weather patterns.

Cloud Seeding: This is the most well-known and widely used method for attempting to modify weather.

It involves dispersing things like silver iodide or sodium chloride into the air to encourage cloud formation and precipitation.

Cloud Seeding is used to increase rainfall, reduce hail, and clear fog, especially around airports.

Hail Cannons: These devices produce shock waves to disrupt the formation of hailstones.

While their effectiveness is debated, some farmers use them to protect crops from hail damage.

Forest and Vegetation Management: Large-scale planting of trees and vegetation can affect local weather patterns by increasing humidity and influencing rainfall.

If you're from Louisiana, that might sound pretty familiar to you.

Ever notice how often you see a stormy weather system heading for Acadiana sometimes break up around Lafayette?

Cities inadvertently affect weather patterns through the heat generated by buildings, vehicles, and other infrastructure. This can lead to localized weather changes, such as increased rainfall downwind of urban areas.

All of the above mentioned techniques really do more to influence weather rather than control it, and come with significant limitations.

Growing up in South Louisiana, we've all talked about and theorized ways to keep hurricanes from hitting our coast.

Having an actual way to control and manipulate hurricanes away from Louisiana is absolute crazy talk anyway, right?

Well...maybe not according inventor Andrew Waxmanski, of Chipley, Florida.

Andrew Waxmanski Hurricane And Tornado Control Device

Andrew Waxmanski was an inventor from Florida who developed a few different devices over his lifetime such as a spring loaded fishing device and a shoe rack stack.

He was granted a patent for his shoe rack stack invention on August 17, 1976.

However, it was the patent he filed on November 2, 2001 that is the most intriguing of all.

The official name of his invention filed with the U.S. patent office on November 2, 2001 is "HURRICANE AND TORNADO CONTROL
DEVICE".

Here's the description of his "Hurricane and Tornado Control Device" from patentimages.storage.googleapis.com -

"A method is disclosed for affecting the formation and/or
direction of a low atmospheric weather System. Audio
generators are positioned to project Sound waves toward a
peripheral area of a weather System.

The Sound waves are generated at a frequency to affect the formation of the
weather System in a manner to disrupt, enhance or direct the
formation. The Sound waves can also be projected in a
manner to cause the System to produce rain."

Inventor Andrew Waxmanski passed away in 2007, leaving his "Hurricane and Tornado Control Device" patent listed as "Abandonded" according to the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

However, this is where a guy named Olatunbosun Osinaike steps in.

According to the USPTO, inventor Osinaike was in fact granted a patent for a "manual processes to moderate weather" in April of 2023.

Olatunbosun Osinaike Sound Waves Patent

Officially titled as "Propagating sound through bodies of water, to generate and direct wind, for the purpose of moderating and affecting weather patterns" on the US patent website, is basically the same concept of disrupting, manipulating, and steering weather systems such as hurricanes and tornadoes.

Also disclosed are the investors involved in Osinaike's patent.

From patents.justia.com -

"Applicant inventor Olatunbosun Osinaike disclosed the invention to 21^st Century Fox, and the Walt Disney Company on Oct. 10, 2018, for partnership with the Advocate Aurora Venture Fund, and the Catholic Church."

According to recent video posted by @SundayCoolTees, Osinaike is allegedly claiming the U.S. Government is currently using his technology without his permission, and he claims they used it on Hurricane Beryl.
