I've got an idea for how to close the BP Oil Leak. This thread is for people who think they have good ideas, both serious and comical, for how to plug the leak.
Here is my idea... a series of truncated concentric cones. The cones would fit over each other, and each would latch on to the one before it. The idea is to slowly constrict the flow of the oil. The first cone would get bolted to the ground (is there anything solid enough to bolt to??), and would restrict oil flow minimally. Each cone that follows would have an increasingly narrow spout, until the flow was completely shut off.
There you go. RobinFinderson just solved the BP Gulf Oil leak. You are all welcome.
In case BP doesn't read CUF, or in the unlikely case that one of you other people has a better solution, what is it?
