Brainstorming with my brother Gary we came up with several plausible approaches to stem the flow of oil gushing from the broken pipe in the Gulf Sea floor. Both approaches involve the use of balloons. One method is to capture the oil in an enormous balloon anchored over the pipe. This balloon would have vent pipes that would allow oil and gas to be removed to the surface for collection. Another approach would be to insert an inflatable balloon into the pipe to act as a valve/plug. The inflatable devise might allow cement to be piped through the balloon to seal the pipe.
If you have proposals they can be submitted to BP via the Louisiana Business Emergency Operations Center (LABEOC).
what an idea....I appreciate it.The authorities should use it so as to prevent the wastage of oil.
