Experimental video 1: seeks to show, that oil creates its own “virtual piping”, thereby establishing a direct path through the water, with minimal contamination of either oil or water.  This experiment shows that water must be pumped out of the piping that goes to the surface to create the path/ but after that, the oil takes care of itself. It further indicates how quickly the oil and water do separate.  (For Video, click here)/ a more detailed explanation below

Returning to the capture of oil by funneling the material beneath the sea: INTO a capture zone.  What you have failed to functionally realize is: that oil and water being of different densities react hydraulically in very distinct ways.  Oil being the lighter of the two, rising to the surface of its own accord.  That means in very simple english: that the water becomes in effect a conduit for the oil to rise/ as it forces it way through the water to the place of least resistance; that it may rise to the surface.  Creating that place of least resistance, for oil in water (the place where oil has already provided a path: it effectively creates “a pipe”, within the water itself;  either aided by pumping/ or established with enough volume that it needs no pumping to rise to the surface. To create a capture zone the simple solution is to establish an upside down cone or funnel (small end upward), wherein the oil as it gushes upward from the simple physics of different specific gravities involved is contained.  Simple physics demands:   oil will rise almost vertically with little deviation, even though it expands it still remains within a defined area; thereby the capture zone, is sufficiently sized beyond that area of oil, at the height desired. If there is a current, you simply add a “sail”/ anchored to weights it simply directs the oil to where it then must go. This method can be used to collect underwater oil as well/ but understand if the oil does not rise/ then it is “a different oil/ from a different source”, and it is primarily a sludge, having lost its volatile mixtures.  Nonetheless, if it is gathered together as a separate medium from the water/ it can be sucked up, by simply encountering the mass and giving it a place to go.
There are no issues of cold or freezing assigned by gas/ as these are not possible as you move the capture area in height above the outlet of oil.  The ocean heat, in the water itself/ removes the cold.  The only way ice forms a problem is if you have the wrong conditions set into place, by NOT providing the heat necessary to consume the cold/ or NOT containing the oil and gas sufficiently so that its escape effectively becomes as a refrigerant.  The hydraulics of these materials does not change with depth or pressure.  What is a less dense material (oil) will rise, when contained by a higher dense material (water).  As to significant gas, the reality is “a bigger capture zone is required”/ but apart from that it is merely an inconvenience, in terms of collecting oil. Oil direct from the well head, is not diluted/ nor separated even in the presence of gas, because gas needs the same path of least resistance as does the oil.

It is a clear, and unmistakable reality: that those in charge of the oil spill today/ meaning largely the US government officials, including the president: WANT primarily TO CAPTURE and contain the oil for sale, FAR MORE than they wish to protect the environment.  Having removed the piping from the top of the blowout preventer, there is literally nothing stopping them from lowering a cone shaped plug into that well head and stopping the flow of oil.  They have a drilling rig directly above/ they lowered a collecting cap and pipe directly onto the oil gushing out: which means they have all the tools necessary to replace that cap with a cone shaped plug/ and insert it into the gaping hole and shove it down into place with the weight of the piping and drilling ship from the surface. Attaching it there can be done in a number of ways. Included in this reality is the pipe not cleanly cut can be modified with reamers, held on the end of the drilling pipe and turned by the surface drilling team, as well as lathe ends put on that same pipe to completely smooth the impacting surface. Held in place simply by inserting the appropriate sized pipe.  Critical care can exist to insure the cutting heads are not damaged on impact by the use of hydraulics to control the cutting edge force or position. It is possible to create a seal along with this insertion pipe/ along the same lines as an annular seal, but with teeth at the top to get a grip on the pipe being inserted too/ so that tension, to pull out, is minimal. [I strongly suggest you simply plug it instead; because enough damage has been done].  The drilling pipe section that does the work, can also be the means of anchoring the plug in place by simply preparing it for that purpose first. Once attached to the well, a long arm attached to that section becomes the wrench for unscrewing this section by means of a submersible, OR an in place propulsion unit which will turn the section above by using water force/ after a hydraulic ram gives the initial push to dislocate the bottom section from the next higher. Or you can just make a slip section with a collar that simply lets go when you tell it to. Either way, it is the government in charge at this point whether they say so or not, particularly the president and the coast guard making a decision to capture rather than plug the hole.  A pipe originally when through this blowout preventer/ a pipe currently exists at the top/ therefore we know it is possible to put a plug in this hole.  We hear from “all the leaders, new media allows”/ that they are more concerned with oil and jobs, than the long term effects of complete environmental devastation. That includes most of the public whose main concern is GET ME THAT OIL.  That means, it is no longer strictly a BP/ etc problem, but exists because of fundamental society demands: making it a price all society must pay.  The obvious tax, goes to oil and all oil products: YOU WANTED IT CHEAP/ now pay, this is what you chose.  Because when only money matters, nothing else does, therefore risk is multiplied until catastrophe occurs;   until life itself is being lost/ only then does this society learn to care about anything but        Gluttony and consumption.  Some say “2.7 trillion miles a year” are driven/ want to explain how that is not excess?   Not to worry though, like the historical figure who wanted gold so much he killed everyone not made into a slave: he got to drink that gold, as a fitting reward.  The president says: “he’s furious, cause these people gambled with other lives, etc”.  Yet he has allowed: being in charge of the military/ the experimentation of creating fusion at NIF, a facility, in a suburb of San Francisco; which can bring the same fire as is on the sun here to this earth.  Fusion being the burning of atomic bonds/ here, in a place where everything is then fuel.  It will be, “like throwing a match in gasoline/ with no possibility of putting it out”. [they want free energy/ they want no pollution: so they risk every life on earth; gambling. Because you want free energy and no pollution too; free everything.  Failure is death of a planet, and you will fail, because the burning of atomic bonds cannot be stopped]! Or genetic mutilation, wherein everything called nature is being crucified!   [because they want to be gods/ they want to erase death, or any of the maladies, and VERY MANY want to construct living creatures by their own design]. But they are not gods! The tragedy unfolding as complete chaos, irrevocable:  because NATURE IS, the genetic structure which builds our bodies and minds and everything else, in time.  Genetic structure is “a billion instructions, governing the construction of every living thing; in a size so very small, this cannot be found without a microscope”. Genetic operations, are granted and delivered with a conceived “one part per billion” chemical released instruction format which then determines IF you will have arms or legs or a head, or a mind, etc.  And men play with this, as if their actions were not “satan himself”.] .  These want to play god, and they are playing with every life, every future, everything we are.  The obvious outcome will be like the oil spill/ but with absolute chaos for all life; forever/ all dead. As with oil spilling, it only takes one eruption: to cause tremendous damage.  Apart from oil, genetic mutilation is not possible to recover from, not for anyone, or anything, on this earth.  Shame on you for such arrogance, such total disregard for life/ for pride which knows no boundary beyond making something or someone else your slave. SHAME ON YOU, THAT YOU ARE SO ASLEEP/ DULL/ AND DIM-WITTED, YOU PERCEIVE NONE OF THIS “the experts” have made you fools: wake up or die/ it is that simple. Like your money, which has been filled with lies/ the university has become the biggest liar of all: “they want to be gods/ and believe they are (because you let them believe it, and the media propagate this lie, for power & pride; regardless of truth: SELL IT)”. As with all the games of men, even if you can win; there is nothing to be gained, because the passion of this world being led by men is:   WE WANT MONEY FIRST/ and little else matters.  Shame on you.  I know you have to make money to live/ or more correctly must work to live and trade.  But like the biblical story of adam and eve: if you take the very last fruit, without thinking of the future (NEED THAT SEED): “that part of life, will disappear from you”.  The absolute failure of men is: “I/we can make you fight”/ that is the game!  Life is not a game, and you will change or die.  Oil is not “wonderful”/ if it takes away your life; and that decision is now being made. life and death (in this instance of risk and reality) is a choice, dependent upon truth. The current reality of leadership by men is LIAR/ THIEF/ WHORE/ & FAILURE.  Because you choose money first/ you demand a game, instead of respecting life/ you destroy the future, and say HOW VERY PROUD we are; “we are gods”! Shame on you as well, if you read this and do not do what you can to establish a change in this oil disaster/ regardless of what you think about me. This crisis can multiply;  do it now.

Any extensive sea or surface movements/ any expressive currents created by storms below the surface; can cause this current cap to “fall off”.  Suitable methods of anchoring that collection pipe must be found, as it is going to remain in position, and be necessary;  a significant amount of time.
The use of oil well suction pumps/ attached to a slowly moving barge, can also simply suck up the majority of oil, and will work effectively, so long as you suck the water that is collected out from underneath this oil.  They are however expected to be “less efficient/ and more energy intensive to operate”.
The use of “people in play suits”, is functionally illiterate when confronting millions of gallons of oil.  The assumption that “oil must go on as is”/ just because a few thousand people more will be unemployed, is absolutely insane.  JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT something/ does not mean it is to be tolerated, accepted, or allowed.  Critical failure HAS occurred, and until that situation is completely resolved, and the foundations for a much more secure future for ALL: has been established.  Everybody suffers the same.  This is not only BP failure/ it is US government failure/ state failure/ industry failure/ public failure/ and even environmentalist failure (YOU were not prepared either: yelling is NOT enough).  But even so, when none will listen, because they are LITERALLY CONSUMED BY THEIR OWN WANTS;   nothing will get done, except the demand: MAKE ME RICH/ and as we all know making someone rich MEANS, “the creation of very many people that will be excessively poor”.  Money, is a human thing; it has nothing to do, beyond what human beings demand of it: people demand slaves/ thereby money exists.

In terms of alternate methods of collecting oil: the foundation is, that you must not disturb the oil on top or gathered together any more than is possible to do.  Turbulence creates “froth; the intermixing of water and oil” which gives it a consistency much harder to deal with/ until it separates itself, which it does by separating into various chemical components.  Consequently two simple things are important: collect quickly to avoid weather if possible/ don’t stir.  But remember you cannot truly skim oil off of water effectively/ BUT YOU CAN such the water out from underneath the oil on top.  Leaving you with a product that is relatively pure/ and water taken out, that is consistent with the best we can do.  Another method of doing that is: to lower a large flat “sheet” below the water with pontoons.  Push it under a major amount of oil and fill the pontoons with air to collect or contain the oil and water into a confined area.  With a suction line fitted to the sheet you pump out the water, when this line becomes filled with oil/ you move the transfer line from ocean to tanker.

a cap that does not seal, collects water do to the suction capabilities of capillary action, due to turbulence (unless you create a volume of oil that stays in place around this opening, by inverted funnel to refuse the water.  The original concrete dome did not work, because the piping was full of water, and that allowed the cold to be entrapped. It was also built of the entirely wrong material, as heat transfer is essential. Should have looked like an accordion “lots of surface area”.) water in the presence of cold can freeze. The apparent mixing chamber located at a height above the well cap, for introducing methanol to stop the freezing will require   very significant amounts of ethanol/ but the freezing could easily occur below it.  What is useful, is to understand there need not be a wait period for getting the oil to the surface/ simply pump the water out. While it is correct, that the weight of the water pushes the oil up, because of density differences/ it is also true the weight of water within the piping causes an unnecessary delay.  A pump should be employed/ because the pressures within the well pipe are such that they overcome the volume requirements of that pipe/ therefore a pump is needed to increase the flow up the pipe/ and keep less oil from escaping/ a sufficient flow keeps the gas in tow. Careful valving reduces the introduction of water/ but controlling the oil, leaves the gas with a need to expand at the cap; thereby increasing freezing.  Even so pressures and heat from the oil/ and the water as it rises to the surface, should keep this piping open.  Therefore simply let the ice rise until it melts/ instead of methanol.  Even here, at the bottom end of the collection pipe, just above the cap; IF you can keep the pipe running/ then you can also establish an upside down funnel at this lower level, on the pipe to collect what is missed.  The correct uptake of oil, will leave a small amount of oil within the funnel itself/ to keep the water out, if gas escapes, more oil is needed. The inverted funnel needs “heat transfer fins, or the equivalent”. Without this buffer zone, it is impossible to keep the water out/ the current cap will not keep the water out, unless it is completely engulfed by roughly 40% oil loss, and even then gas bubbles will allow water in. Once in place and working, the piping can still be lifted to reintroduce the oil into the collection pipe (if necessary) if you can pump fast enough to keep up. Otherwise it needs a separate collection pipe to the surface.

To the local tv station: I have built a simple experiment to show the visual realities of oil collection.  Which simply means, I can show you and your camera, that although oil is introduced into clean water, it can and is collected with minimal contamination of either oil or water.  Proving the funnel effect stated above.  A demonstration of another type of machine for separating oil is also available for viewing. I do demand a copy of your digital recording if you come to view it/ that I may use it on my own site, listed above. There is no other charge, all inventions and information is free. Just use it.  I expect to be working at____________(one block away);  on the guttering June 1, between one and two o’clock; with the experiments in hand.  If you wish to view them.  James Osterbur.  The invited chose not to show/ the rest were known not to be willing.

Of some interest is the wording used by the coast guard “in charge”:   having some trouble, but cap will soon get most of the product into the ships above [a summary].  Or more simply, the major concern is not about environment: THEY WANT the oil. Therein the “government response” is exactly the same as the oil companies, and their companion industries.  TO HELL with life/ GIVE US THE DAMN MONEY.
