Weather mitigation assembly
10793231 · 2020-10-06 ·

A weather mitigation assembly for reducing the surface temperature of the ocean to mitigate developing oceanic weather systems includes a buoy that is floated on the ocean. An air pump is coupled to the buoy and a plurality of tethers is each coupled between the buoy and the ocean floor for keeping the buoy in a selected spot. A network of bubble pipes is each laid along the ocean floor. A supply pipe is fluidly coupled between the air pump and the network of bubble pipes. In this way the air pump can pump air into the network of bubble pipes. Each of the bubble pipes releases air bubbles upwardly toward the surface of the ocean urge cool water on the ocean floor upwardly toward the surface of the ocean. In this way the surface of the ocean can be cooled thereby reducing thermal energy available for developing weather systems.

Buoy hull corrosion detection system

A buoy corrosion detection system includes a buoy having a double hull section in which the outer hull is designed to corrode and fail prior to the rest of the hull. The double hull section is positioned at the waterline, which is the area most prone to corrosion. As the outer hull corrodes, water passes through the hull and is detected by a moisture detector. The moisture detector then relays a signal that water has entered through the hull, and a signaling circuit then sends a communication signal to the user indicating that the buoy has corrosion. The buoy corrosion detection system leads to an as-needed maintenance cycle for buoys.
