Oil Spill

OK So the basic idea here is to build a really big base which extends out far enough to not be super close to the gusher to allow it to be put in place with ease and secured to the ocean floor however you do such things (we may need to discuss this)

The base will end up being say 100feet higher than the exit of the oil from the spout.

All around the base (but higher than the hemoraging spout) there will be exit relief holes connecting to oil collecting type pipes.

Attached to the base we have giant heavy as meep steel plates on runners which if there was no crazy pressure involved would be designed to close very slowly and turn and overlap each other... (think reverse jiffy pop)

Since we will be dealing with meep tons of pressure which is meeping with all their other attempts, we add some other features...

Have a crazy science type guy design a system of remote controlled guides which are controlled as the plates are slowly shifting to start taking the spewing oil and move it it a certain direction.

As the plates close more and more the guides will shift to keep the oil flowing in a circular motion, aided by the giant underwater fan system :)

As the plates start to close there should be more water and oil shooting out of the side valves and being collected by all the pipes.

Since the plates are closing slowly and the guides adjust the closer they come down we should be able to make small adjustments to everything as needed.

Basically build a much bigger more advanced building on top of this meeper? Or is there no point in spending the time and dollars to build a huge structure? I dunno

a little concept ive been working on. forgive the rudimentary drawings....

I think we should plug the hole with the billions in profits and bonuses the company pulled over the last year.
