I have been trying to contact someone who would listen since the 3rd week of May. I have already sent this to the Following people: Deepwater Horizons
Response, CNN, MSNBC, Anderson Cooper, Billy Nungesser and the governors of both Florida and Louisiana. I want to help with the oil spill disaster in the
Gulf. I created two devices which should in both cases, stop the oil leak. I even tried to get through by phone. I cannot even get a return email except
for the auto reply, no return calls to my messages etc. Even the one time I managed to speak to an aide, she said that BP is not listening to anyone and she
was of the opinion that BP did not want to plug the leak, they want to control it, so they can still use the well. That is her opinion though, we will see.
To my inventions: The first is a pipe with an expandable fitting on the bottom end, in which after it is inserted into the riser pipe, the nuts are torqued
down and the rubber bushings expand to create a hard seal. Then, the valve can be either shut off completely, OR a pipe can be fitted to oposite end and ALL
the oil can be pumped to the surface without the risk of leaks nor any crystal formation to plug it up. If the pressure is too high and the pipe could be
forced out, then clamps can be fitted to the insert pipe and bolted to the bottom lip of the riser assembly to keep it in place. The other device is of
similar principle, but instead of a valve and fitting, it has a grate or grill installed in the bottom end. After this shorter device is inserted into the
riser pipe and the nuts are torqued down, they can then do a junk shot to slow down the flow and then a top kill procedure would be affective as the material
would not be blown out of the pipe at speed. Either one of these should work. I have gone over these with a few people and the opinion is that they have a
very good chance of working perfectly. The cost to fabricate these is very small. In fact, most if not all of the materials needed are probably in a local
refinery machine shop. We could probably fabricate both of these devices within a couple of days from the finalization of good engineering diagrams. I am
hoping that someone will use this idea to save the all the wildlife, the marshes/wetlands, the shrimping/fishing industry and the economy of the Gulf Coast.
All I want is my name attached to this as the person who came up with the solution. Now, here is what I am asking. Is there anyone out there reading this,
that I could speak to about the feasibility of these two devices? Is there anyone that could fabricate them for us? Maybe someone I could discuss the
engineering aspects of the designs? And lastly, if you agree with me, someone we could bring the designs or the completed devices to if we construct them.
Maybe we can deliver them to the Deepwater Horizons Command Center. We can hand them directly to Admiral Thad Allen. If they have a good chance of working
and saving the Gulf, let the Admiral present the to BP live, and let them either accept them and use them or explain to the public why they are refusing them
on television. I can provide a more detailed description of both devices and engineering sketches upon request. Thank you for your attention.
