Abstract: A system for sequestering greenhouse gas (GHG) in space includes at least one gas removal station located in or above an upper atmosphere, and a GHG transporter configured to collect the GHG from a GHG source and deliver the GHG to the gas removal station. The gas removal station includes a base configured to provide power and propulsion for gas removal station, a suction pump disposed on the base, and a GHG ejector disposed on the base and in fluid communication with the suction pump. The GHG ejector is configured to eject GHG at or above an escape velocity. A method for sequestering GHG to space includes collecting GHG from a GHG source, transporting GHG from the GHG source to a GHG ejection site located in or above an upper atmosphere, and ejecting GHG from the GHG ejection site at or above an escape velocity.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for weather modification and related method. The invention offers a solution to enhance the precipitation in arid regions of the planet whereas the enhancement of the precipitation and weather modification is used for irrigation or comfort. The invention is based on the release of charge carriers to ambient and utilization of the electromagnetic field of the planet for their distribution around the planet which brings moisture through the ionic or electric wind and rainfall with condensation. The invention provides other benefits such as low cost and low maintenance light as an alternative to expensive, high maintenance, outdoor light options through wireless solution. The apparatus is also be configured to affect the weather globally and slow down the thinning planet ice caps, with the benefit of slowing down or lowering the rising sea levels.

Abstract: Surface modification control stations and methods in a globally distributed array for dynamically adjusting the atmospheric, terrestrial and oceanic properties. The control stations modify the humidity, currents, wind flows and heat removal rate of the surface and facilitate cooling and control of large area of global surface temperatures. This global system is made of arrays of multiple sub-systems that monitor climate and act locally on weather with dynamically generated local forcing & perturbations for guiding in a controlled manner aim at long-term modifications. The machineries are part of a large-scale system consisting of an array of many such machines put across the globe at locations called the control stations. These are then used in a coordinated manner to modify large area weather and the global climate as desired. The energy system installed at a control stations, with multiple machines to change the local parameters of the ocean, these stations are powered using renewable energy (RE) sources including Solar, Ocean Currents, Wind, Waves and Batteries to store energy and provide sufficient power and energy as required and available at all hours. This energy is then used to do directed work using special machines, that can be pumps for seawater to move ocean water either amplifying or changing the currents in various locations and at different depths, in addition it will have machineries for changing the vertical depth profile of the ocean of temperature, salinity and currents. Control stations will also directly use devices such as heat pumps to change the temperatures of local water either at surface or at controlled depths, or modify the humidity and salinity to change the atmospheric and oceanic properties as desired. The system will work in a globally coordinated manner applying artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to learn from observations to improve the control characteristics and aim to slow down the rise of global surface temperatures. These systems are used to reduce the temperatures of coral reefs, arctic glaciers and south pacific to control the El Nino oscillations.

Abstract: A dynamic controllable system 10 for moderating energy absorption at the earth's surface includes a series of panel units 110, 610 mounted above the earth's surface over land and water masses. Each panel unit 110, 610 supports rotatable shafts 112, 612, with panels 100, 600 joined to or integrally formed with the shafts 112, 612. Each panel (forcing) 100, 600 has a radiation reflective surface 102, 602 and a radiation emissive surface 104, 604 opposite the radiation reflective surface 102, 602. The panels 100, 602 are selectively rotated into a predetermined one of a plurality of cardinal positions: reflective, emissive and neutral, or into an intermediate position between two of the cardinal positions. The programmable controller 130 receives various data including top of atmosphere satellite data, air temperature and relative humidity at panel units, weather data, time of day, position of panel units, radiation insolation, and combinations thereof. Responsive to real-time data, both local and regional, the programmable controller directs rotational orientation of panels within the panel units, causing a desired reflection of shortwave and longwave radiation away from the earth's surface.

Abstract: Methods of geoengineering are provided to create shade by reflecting solar radiation into space to mitigate global warming, as well as reduce storm severity, and other applications. These methods rely on dispersing hollow silicate microspheres into the atmosphere, or into orbit, by aircraft or rocket, where the silicate microspheres can optionally comprise additions of one of boron or sodium, or both. Silicate microspheres manufactured on the Moon can be delivered to Earth or L1 orbit as an alternative to lofting from Earth’s surface. Hollow silicate microspheres are more than 6 times the size of comparable solid SRM particles. This method substantially improves reflectivity, solar-powered lofting, and, in the presence of liquid water aerosols, the greater surface area enables improved carbon dioxide capture.

Abstract: A method for optimizing plant growth in a hybrid growing environment may implement artificial intelligence to measure and alter plant biometrics. Independent variables may be altered by a control unit by manipulating various control systems within the growing environment. Dependent variables may be measured, and the response of the dependent variables may be recorded in association with the alteration to the independent variables. A historical database may store data regarding the variables and may be referenced and updated by an exemplary embodiment. The control unit may optimize one or more variables or parameters based on a targeted value or outcome. An exemplary hybrid growing environment may include one or more vertical growing phases and a horizontal phase. The phases may implement various watering systems and may be hydroponic, be a complete CEA, use a mixture of natural, artificial, and/or supplemental lighting.

Abstract: A method for regulating climate, comprising: 1) allowing the formation of a relatively high temperature zone and a low temperature zone in the air above the ground; 2) allowing the formation of air convection between the high temperature zone and the low temperature zone as the cold air in the low temperature zone has a greater density than the hot air in the high temperature zone. A device for regulating climate is, i.e. an automatic air tower. The automatic air tower comprises a column (1) with an air inlet (12) at the bottom, wherein the column comprises a startup unit (13) and a shutdown unit (14) inside and has an air outlet (15) at the top. The aforesaid method and tower can prevent and eliminate the formation of haze and cool the earth's ground.
