BP Oil Spill, Are You Kidding Me? Put a Plug in It Already!
BP's oil spill in the Gulf is out of control, and after viewing the new digital CNN video of the recently cut well cap, it's obvious to a plumber, and most blue collar tradesmen, their engineers are also miserably incapable of even slowing the oil spilling from the well, let alone stop the flow.
I saw the CNN digital video on Anderson Cooper 360, and all I can say is this:
"Look BP: Ever hear of a thing called a plumbers test ball?!!!!"
Plumbers use the test ball to insert into a drainage pipe and then use air to inflate it and put a clog the pipe"
It's hard to believe BP is letting the oil spill out of the well head in the Gulf, while our government officials peer over their shoulder, and no one thought of such a simple device as a plumbers test ball that could be fabricated to size, inserted into the well head, then inflated with sea water.
This simple device, at the very least , would reduce the amount of oil flow, if not stop it all together.
And they could do this in a couple of days.
The Test Balls would be under 2,500 bucks a piece.
Sea water is Free.
So BP, do you really want to stop the oil spill BP?
Here, I'll lay it out for you how simple this is.
1- Fabricate 5 Test Balls sized to the well head pipe
2- Insert 1st Test Ball as low in the pipe as you can get it
3- Fill with sea water to inflate against well head walls
4- Install 2nd Test Ball
5- Fill with sea water to inflate against well head walls
6- Insert 3rd Test Ball as low in the pipe as you can get it
7- Fill with sea water to inflate against well head walls
Now, oil pressure will be greatly reduced, if not completely stopped.
To ensure the oil spill won't re-occur, follow the last 2 steps below:
8- Insert new 6" steel hose into well head to pump concrete from surface ship.
9 -Pour 5,000 psi concrete mix to cap above test balls.
Done.
Oil Spill stopped.
Oh, I almost forgot...
You'll have two balls left...
Keep them...
You'll need 'em in court.
Please pass this to anyone who will listen and cares about the Gulf oil spill.
Get the word out, the oil spill in the Gulf is spewing thousands of gallons of oil a day and must stop now, and this simple plumbing device, the test ball, will work, guaranteed.
