TECHNICAL FIELD
100021 The present invention relates to design of a system of the inhabitants protection during a flood, based on the protection of individual homes, the mass of which is covered plains of North America and Canada, using two group of barriers, including simple and cheap portative barriers height of 1.0-1.2 meters, decreasing the thawing water flows in the suburbs of these homes and helping inhabitants who have remained in disaster area..
BACKGROUND ART
[00031 Flood protection is a vitally important worldwide problem, and its significance is permanently growing. At the beginning of the 20th century the average annual damage in USA caused by floods accounted up to 100 millions of US$; at the second half of the 20th century this damage exceeded US $1 billion. In some years of the last decade this damage reached 10 billions of US$. The losses caused by Texas flood (2002) totalled to about US $1 billion. In Canada the destructive Quebec flood (1996, the river Sagino) caused damage equals to 750 million dollars. Manitoba and British Colombia also suffer from floods. The Winnipeg flood (2009) caused reduction of sowing areas. It is known that every dollar invested in prevention of natural disasters saves 5-10 and more dollars.
It is known that the flood height in vast Texas's and Canada's plains does not exceed 0.9 meters.

Real possibilities of dams and channels are limited by material resources and territorial structures. Stationary and temporary installations are used for flood protection. Stationary installations are very expensive and thus protect only a small part of the territory and houses. The main means of protection against floods are temporary, mobile dams and / or barriers.
The applicants have analyzed a plurality of images published in Yahoo during to last years, and these images show that the primary means of widely used apparatus for flood protection are sandbags (closed and open), and huge amounts of ever-increasing damage shows that existing means are not able to protect against the effects of floods and other natural disasters. Everywhere (in America, in Australia, in Europe, and in Asia, people are practically defenseless against flooding. Analysis of a plurality of patents and photos from the field of floods shows that the main means against flood (besides stone or create dams) are: sandbags weighing 20-30 kg (that could lift one) and a regular series of large open sand bags weighing about 1000 kg. The problems and shortcomings of these solutions are well known. However, the complexity and high labour-intensive of said bags filling and protection means creating significantly limits their application.
Authors considered a number of patents applying devices for protection against floods. In these patents, beginning from the device represented in US6783300 (Dooleage D.), wherein a barrier based on a sleeve filled with water, the lower part of the barrier is covered with a skirt that is bent forward and a weight is loaded on the upper surface of this skirt. However, front-weight does not eliminate the infiltration (leading edge is always rising, and it is impossible to press) and almost can not increase the barrier stability, and the heavy blocks, stones and sandbags located on said skirt in a front of barrier loss a part of their weight because of Archimedean force. Therefore, above said barriers are able to protect in the case when the flood height is not more than ¨ 1 meter and allow protecting separate houses. The analyze of said patents and following Pat. US

These requirements are important that a set of owners of small houses could acquire and use such devices.
There are many designs of mobile dams and more powerful barriers, in particular, US

However, these devices do not have the following properties that are necessary for a wide use: 1) effectiveness, 2) quickness and simplicity of mounting, 3) the possibility of automation, and 4) an effective protection against leakage, and therefore said devices are used rarely.
On the other hand it is impossible to protect the whole area, because the means of water removing (rivers, canals) in the sea have a limited bandwidth. Therefore, an effective strategy has to comprise three levels: 1) protecting individual buildings and structures against flooding water up to 0.5-1.2 meters, suitable for wide application, effective, fast and simple when mounting, compact in the storage, and cheapness; 2) protecting against 2-2.5 meter of water, against strong flows, and managing these flows so as to minimize the damage; and 3) weakening the intensity of the water flows in the places of their creation and on the ways of their movement. The first two are able to provide local protection, but no more, because the existing water removal system and water storage in principle not able to remove the huge mass of water moving during heavy floods. Only weakening water flows will improve security and increase the effectiveness of protective structures, barriers. The need of, at least, said three levels is defined by following reasons: the portable barrier for home protection can be simple and cheap otherwise homeowners will not use them, more powerful and expensive barrier must defend the territory or a group of homes. But the powerful barriers that can withstand short-term peaks of intensity of spring flood flows are too expensive and impractically.
Therefore, it is necessary to weaken the means peak intensity.
The first draft, apparently, of mobile security systems, as multilevel systems with the distribution of functions of the flood protection between easier and cheaper barriers able to protect individual homes and more sophisticated and powerful barriers described in the applications US Pat. App!. 13/506,750 ( ) and US Pat. App!. 13/851,073 0 by Feldman B.
and Feldman M.
There are numerous patents, designs dedicated portable barriers. The closest constructions are represented in the patents: US Pat.4136995 (Fish D.), US
Pat. 6079904 (Trisl K.), US Pat. 6678333 (Wiseman et al), US Pat. 7762742 (Smith C.E.). All of these barriers use a flexible impermeable web (sheet) to protect against water flows. The main drawback of these constructions consists in that the lower edge of said web is turned forward and ballast must be installed in front, holding the front edge of said web. Such designs require heavy ballast installed in the front to prevent seepage. More successful design, proposed by the authors of the present application (US Pat.
8,287,209), in which the lower edge of said web is turned back that makes easier to protect against seepage and use said ballast of different shapes and types. New design allowing eliminating said ballast is proposed in above said applications (US 13/506750 and 13/851073).

US Pat.Appl. US 12/506, 750 (Feldman B. et al) represents new barrier of said first group that is designed to protect individual houses and building. The barrier includes a palisade formed strong pull up members (tubes), the lower ends of which are fixed in the pre-buried anchors or fixed to the ground. Each said member with two legs form a stable tripod. This barrier is closed in the front by an elongated waterproof web, the lower end of which is tucked back and pressed to the ground. This structure can serve as a basis for the protection of different houses and buildings.
Said barriers of said second level can be made at least in the following form:
the barriers which ballast providing resistance barriers is loaded on the bottom connecting the two parallel walls. These walls in some cases can be made from a flexible material (sacking, geotestile, etc) supported on a skeleton or as pairs of water-filled sleeves.
Such a design first proposed in the patent RU2093638 (Feldman B., filed. 1994, publ. 1997) and largely repeated in CA Pat. 2416971 (Rorheim T., 1999) and CA Pat. 2600389 (Mackay I., 2007). The US Pat Appl. 20100270389 (Feldman B., et al.) represents an improved design, wherein said sleeves are periodic compressed along a vertical direction, thereby reducing the required filling amount of water.
The second variant is manufactured by Nesco Corp. and described in US Pat.
Appl.
20130022404 (Stinsom N.). It consists of a ballast filled gabion comprising a number of individual compartments. Each of these compartments is generally cubical in shape having an opening on the top for receiving the fill ballast. The fill ballast is contained within the compartment by a wire mesh frame that lends form to the geotextile material.
Such barrier protects insufficiently against seepage and erosion of the surface below the barrier. It is dangerous, especially if such a barrier is located on the banks of the river.
Specifically, the dirt or other fill material must be properly packed into the bottom edges around the bottom perimeter of each compartment. Stinsom's proposal underlines this lack of such structure. In addition, this variant makes serious demands on the grid and does not allow increasing the height of the barrier.

There are many projects and patents of protection structures. The analysis of the most important proposals is provided in materials specified in [00011, and their shortcomings are said. The following publications are the most interesting among new. This is the Pat.
Appl. US 20120207406 (Calenach E.J. et al). Applicants describe collapsible containment structure of a protective barrier. This barrier composition set in series boxes filled with sand or other filler. The structure is designed in detail, including the car to transport the folded compact barrier. However, mounting of this assembly requires too much manual labor and time.
Pat. App!. US20120207545 (Bouchard PJ et al) offers an interesting option, using swellable materials as filling of the dam. This allows you to quickly transport the material for the construction of the dam, but the swelling leads to saturation with water, and the saturation is as great as 3000/35 = 85.7-told. Therefore, the middle density of the dam material is close to water density causing lower stability barrier against the incoming water flow, in spite of its trapezoidal cross-section and anchoring. Anchoring system allows the use and more simple construction, and swelling process requires a lot of time (the author did not say about it).
The impossibility of a fully protection against flooding by any single or even two types of barriers forces to consider the protection systems, including means of reducing the intensity of formation of water flows. This problem was first proposed in the aforementioned applications of authors (US Pat. App!. 2010270389, 20120175427, 13/506.750).
Therefore, known patents do not offer the necessary system of flood protection, as well as relatively simple and low-cost barriers of the first level and barriers of the second level allowing increasing height, except said US Pat. Applications 13/506,750 and 13/851,073.
Summary Of The Invention The modern conditions are characterized in that the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events is increasing. The danger of the catastrophic flooding caused a cascading effect also increases. The proposed multi-level system for the flood protection includes means intended for the immediate protection of people and buildings, and means for weakening natural hazards responsible for formation of hazardous water flows, for reducing the intensity of floods, improving thus the effectiveness of protective barriers.
The first aspect of present invention consists in that, that the proposed system includes:
(1) a plurality of simple portable barriers that can protect against the waves up to the height of 0.8-1.2 meters that corresponds to about 90% floods of the American plains, and that are mounted, mainly, KoTopme yeTanaanaaaioTcsi, protected homes;
(2) a number of more complex quick-installable barriers protecting against 1.8-2.5 flood and weakening the water flow reaching said portable barriers that are mounted to areas and a group of protected homes with regard to terrain relief and the flood prehistory;
(3) means intended for increasing the efficiency of said protective barriers by lowering of intensity of thawing water flows; and (4) means for help to people who have remained in disaster area.
The following aspect consists the proposed advanced popular portable barriers that use only the simplest and inexpensive components, being added occupy a minimum space, and can be set very quickly, by two or even one person. For its installation it is enough to drill in the ground necessary slit (0,3 - 0,5 meters in depth) and to use swelling material.
It is offered mounting options of said barriers on asphalt or concrete.
Offered construction allows using sleeves having diameter of 10-20 cm to prevent water penetration. Said sleeves can be filled with water/air (rather simple manual pump), or "sleeve-cable" can be made from flexible plastic or rubber, without requiring any pump and, of course, without requiring any ballast.
The following aspect of this invention consists in that these barriers are suitable for creating on their basis more complex, long and persistent protective building, consisting of a whole system of such barriers, connected to each other and protective corridors for the removal of the people from the danger zone and / or channels to divert water.

The following aspect of this invention consists in that proposed design of the quick-installable barrier that can stop the water flows up to the height of 1.8-2.5 meters and that can become a basis for the protection of large areas, able to protect separate buildings protected portable barriers. These barriers can be quickly installed and can be quickly prepared for the practical protection. They comprise a set of big bags fixed to a foldable simple skeleton, easily transportable with help of trucks, being folded and suspended on a conveyor that is mounted on a movable platform, for example, of said trucks, and that can be easily deployed on the ground when said truck is moving. The proposed quick-installable barrier uses highly mechanized equipment for filling said bags with sand, pulp and other ballast and allows using different means of mechanization that are developed and widely used in construction industry.
The following aspect consists in that the quick-installable barriers aren't require use of the cranes controlled by the operator for the installation of separate bags and said barriers mounting.
The following aspect consists in that said quick-installable barriers allow significantly reducing required amount of sand in comparison with prevalent big bags without reducing stability of barriers and allow changing the level of filling said bags in accordance with the profile of terrain surface.
The following aspect consists in that said quick-installable barriers allow additionally reducing the required amount of sand through the installation of the top air and/or water filled sleeve up to 0.5 meters in height.
The following aspect of this invention consists in that said portable barriers can be used for creation of dams on streams with steep walls, both for protection from, and for saving of rain water in the southern regions where water is scarce, rains are rare, but are abundant (connecting such barriers darns to water accumulative tanks by pipes it is possible to save water). Such barriers can be easy demount and saved till next rainy season, having left only closed sockets for front members' installation. They are suitable and for snow retention.
The following aspect of this invention consists in that for fight against the landslides, caused by floods or excessive humidity of the soil, it is offered means, allowing to increase stability of soil at the expense of inserting special capsules filled with substance that is capable of absorbing water and extending, filling eroded cavities and reinforcing said soil, and also, filled with a non-Newtonian compound, which is strengthened under the influence of the soil begins to shift, hindering its further moving.
The following aspect consists in that special means that is able to reduce the intensity of water flows created by snow thawing in the places of their formation and on the path of their motion that makes more effective the use of said portable barriers and said quick-installed barriers. For this: in the autumn - promoting thawing of snow in places of dangerous accumulation of snow using time of positive temperatures; in the winter ¨
creating ice dams by the way of two-stage process including (1) forced thawing of snow, (2) freezing thawing water using cold atmosphere so that said dams were erected on the paths of expected dangerous spring flows of thawing water; in the early spring ¨
accelerating thawing of snow; in late spring - promoting freezing of thawing water on the paths of its moving to limit the intensity of water flows; and using hot water packages for forced snow thawing cold water or dry ice or liquid nitrogen packages for following freezing.
The following aspect consists in that the proposed system includes additional air transport means (air vehicles), wherein at least a part of lifting force is created by light-weight gas and wherein ballonets filled with said gas include stretchable two layer walls that give a possibility to control quickly said lifting force in case of landing, take-off and fast airdropping a freight by means of electricity without use of pumps and heating up said gas. Two-layer walls include one gas-tight layer having a maximum size and another stretchable layer that isn't mandatory gas-tight layer. The operational control of the lifting force is important for supply the population by necessary products and the equipment. This is especially important when (a) said population has been cut off during a flood, hurricanes, a tsunami, earthquakes, droughts, and a fire; (b) for evacuation of people from dangerous places, and (c) in case of suppression of fires.
The following aspect consists in that said air vehicle comprises means that allow such air vehicle landing in the water and flying up from the water and doesn't require any special hangar.

Detailed Description Of The Invention The following detailed description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the invention or the application and uses of the invention. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any expressed or implied theory presented in the preceding technical field, background, brief summary or the following detailed description. The detailed description is convenient to start with the description of a portable barrier.
FIG. 1A shows a portable barrier that is intended to protect several homes and buildings.
This barrier is able to protect against flood water up to 1 meter approximately. Said portable barrier comprises a palisade of front members that are spaced apart, vertical or extended up and slightly slating back. Said front members 100 fastened into the front units 120 that are the base of said barrier. These members can be tubes or have a various special profile. Each said front member is supported, for example, by two additional supporting members 101 that lean on rear anchor blocks (or supported bearing) 121 and forms a stable tripod. Such design represents one variant of a rigid, geometric invariable, statically-determined spatial skeleton using straight members and the ground surface to which said members are fastened or against which they are leaned. It is convenient to us a collapsible construction equipment as said members and connecting elements.
Said additional members 101 of each tripod can be connected to said front members 100 with the help of clamps (that are not shown) in the middle part of said front member, for example, at a height 0.3 approximately from said front member height. Each of pair of these additional supporting members are located symmetrically relatively the plane perpendicularly to the conditional smooth surface that passes through said front members 100. The front member and supporting members 101 can be extensible. A flexible impermeable elongated web 110 is pulled on over said front members 100 and is fastened to upper part of said front members 100 with the help of clamps or by other means (it is shown). This web includes two parts: a upper part that is fastened to the upper part of said front members and a lower part of said web (a skirt) is bent and stretched backward in the opposite direction of the incoming water flow and pressed to the ground with a sleeve 130 preventing the water leakage from below.
FIG. 1B, FIG. 1C and FIG. 1D represent said front member 100 and said front unit 120 (see 150 and 151) more detail. The front member 100 is fastened into an anchored block 150, for example, a concreted block, either directly or through special socket 151. Said sleeve 110 is pressed the web 110 to the ground surface. The bottom surface of said web can be covered with hydrophobic high elastic layer (not shown). A nut 160 is pressed a limiter 140 and through said limiter and the lower part 111 of said web and said sleeve 130 to the ground surface. Said front members can include an insert (coupling) 161 made from an elastic material sufficiently of higher hardness (like a polyurethane coupling) to decrease a tension in the lower dangerous cross-section of said front members.
FIG. 1C
represents another variant showing a thin layer 145 made from swelling material (a moistening channel is not shown). Said front members 100 pass through holes of said sleeve 130, said limiter 140 and said web 110. Said lower part 111 of said web is shown on FIG. 1D that shows other variant wherein said sleeve consists of two several sleeve 131 and 132. FIG. lE shows a possibility of lateral position of said sleeve 131a between web 110 and said front member, where element 11 b is used as support. FIG. 1F
shows a possibility of using lower position of the sleeve 131a that has a porous envelope and is filled with swelling material. The water causes an extension of this sleeve 131a and hinders with leakage.
FIG. 2A repeats US Pat. App!. 20120175427 (Feldman B. et al). The cylinder filled with swelling mixture (for example, NIPA) directly or this mixture preliminary fills a cylindrical container 152 including a plurality of openings 153. With swelling (absorbing the moisture of the soil or additional water) this mixture widens and penetrates into ground through said openings 153 forming an "anchor". This cylinder can be filled with Non-Newtonian mix (for example, Stewart Penny) that is capable to become hard by strong forcing (tension)-(not shown). FIG. 2B shows other variant using two semi-cylinders 154 made from water permeable envelope and filled with swelling mix that can be fastened in said pre-drilling hole 150, see FIG. 2C. FIG. 2C shows said front unit for fastening said front member 100 (and, correspondently, additional units for fastening said additional members). The lower end of the front member 100 or the special socket for fixing said front member is placed between said semi-cylinders, and this assembly is lowered into pre-drilling hole in the ground surface. After moistening said semi-cylinders are swelled and firmly fixed in the ground. This design is much easier and faster and doesn't require the preliminary mounting said concrete anchored blocks. This part of said front member 100 may be ended by a socket 105 for fixing the main part of said front member that is located above the ground surface. This design is equivalent to said anchored block. It can be strengthened additionally with the help of followings means:
grooves 159, lugs, nuts, or clamps 102, a limiting upper disc 104, a limiting lower disc 103, or their combinations. FIG. 2D shows that in place of said mix can be used a toroidal tire 156 that is inflated with air or water through a branch pipe 158 and is pressurized.
The lateral surfaces 157 may be more flexible than upper and lower surfaces 156. As swelling material different powered cross linked acrylamide or acrylate cross-linked polymers that are capable of absorbing up to 500 or more times its own weight in water (salt or fresh) can be used also.

The FIGS. 2E, 2F, and 2G represent new variant of fixing said lower end of the front member, using easily created (by the simple drill) extensions. The lower limiting disk 103 can have bigger diameter and consist, for example, from one or several two (for an example) petals 107 which before dropping said lower end of said front member 100 can be bent along lines 108 relatively the main washer 109 and are pressed to said front member if the size "a" is not more than a size of extended part 160 having radius "r" and is not more than the diameter of a hole 150. These petals after unbending form the lower limiting disk 103. FIG. 2G illustrates that stones or full-spheres 161 clamped between said limiting disc 103 and 104 can be used for fixing of the lower end of said front member 100.
The next FIG. 211 and FIG. 21 illustrate the possibility of use said portable barrier in the cases when the soil around protected home is covered with an asphalt, concrete or stones.
The front unit 166 is placed on the upper surface of said web 110 and is fastened to the ground surface with the help of screws 168. Further, the front unit 169 is fastened to thin plastic or metal plate 167 with the help of screws 169 and glued to asphalt (concrete or stone). These embodiments expend the range of application of said portable barrier.
FIGS. 3A- 3B represent two variants of an elongated air/waterproof inflatable sleeve 130.
Said sleeve can have 3-8" in diameter. FIG. 3A represents said double sleeve comprising two tubes 131 and 132, tightly connected to each other by welding or gluing or stocking (not shown), between which the through-holes 133 are made for the front members passing. FIGS. 3B-3C represent single cylinder wherein said through-holes are made in the form of inserted pipes 133 by welding or gluing. An inlet branch-pipe 134 is intended for connecting to a filler source, for example, a pump, a gas (or air) cylinder that is pressurized, or a tank filled with water placed at a height of 1.5 meters or more for filling with water or air. FIG. 3C represents another variant of single cylindrical sleeve 130.
This sleeve can be filled with rubber-like or flexible granules 137. Such sleeve doesn't afraid of pinholes. FIG. 3D represents other variant of said sleeve, inside of which a thin cylinder 135 made from a swelling material is located. This cylinder 135 is connected by thin tubes 138 to the outside that allows it moistening and increasing the pressure to the web. FIG. 3E shows as two "sleeves" or cables 131 and 132 that is filled with (raw) rubber-like or flexible granules can be connected to each other. FIG. 3F shows that such "sleeve" can be consisted of separate pieces. These pieces 131 and 132 are conveniently stored during winter and easily connected with each other. A diametrical cut 139 with ribbed surface allows connecting two pieces with each other, and then the place of connection it can be fastened using adhesive tape or a wrap. FIG. 3G
represents another embodiment of last "sleeve", wherein adjacent sections of said "sleeve" have different diameters.
This sleeve 130 (131 and 132) filled with air or water presses said web 110 (FIGS. 1B ¨
1C) to the ground directly or through a soft hydrophobic and/or cotton-like layer 110-1 impeding leakage of flood water. It illustrates the variant, wherein as a result of the screwing said nut 141 compresses the limiter 140 that squeezes the sleeve 131-132. This sleeve presses said lower part 111 of web 110 and said bottom layer of this web (hydrophobic rubber-like-not shown) to the terrain surface, preventing the infiltration of water. The lower covering of said web depends on the soil properties. Said hydrophobic cotton wool-like fiber is more convenient for sandy soil. For a dense surface track (asphalt, concrete) are more suitable high-adhesive coating, like, for example, polymers on the base of amino acid dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). Such polymer glue retains its properties in water. The web that is glued with the help of this polymer glue can be released after flood. Said second prolonged part of web can be made from transparent material.
FIG. 4A shows two views of one section of the limiter 140 that has a trough-shaped cross-section. The adjacent front members 101 pass through these opening 142.
The side view shows a central part of said limiter 140-2 and two outside parts 149-3.
Two shows bends accord to hinges 143 (the top view). The top view 140-1 shows two openings 142 intended for passing two adjacent said front members that are connected by this section.
The lines 143 are the lines of possible bends that allow mounting said barrier in the case of uneven terrain surface. The side view 140-2 illustrates such bend. These bends can be made in the form of hinges or pasted-in flexible elements. The strip 144 represents a sliding (extending) section that allows using this section in the case when the distance between adjacent front members isn't constant because of a relief of the ground surface.
A smoothed form 145 may be useful to angled sections do not interfere with each other if the barrier is bent in the horizontal plane. This limiter can be convex upwards and can be made from metal or plastic. The convex upward or "upward and back" of said limiter allows concentrating the pressure to said inflated sleeve FIG. 4B illustrates said angled position of said sections 140. Another embodiment of said limiter can have only one opening (not shown).
FIG. 5A illustrates a view of said portative portable barrier from back. The front members 101, the sleeve 130, the limiter 140 and the web 110 are shown. The web 110 has to be cut preliminary in according to the relief of the protective ground surface. The web 110 can be fastened to the front members using clamps or other means. FIG.

shows how the bend 112 allows using the rectangular web 113 in the case of the ground surface is roughness. The external clamp 114 allows fastened said bend 112 if this bend is place on the top edge of said web 113. Similar lower bend (FIG. 5C) can be fastened by said limiter from below. Said high flexible thin sleeve can be covered with hydrophobic an/not high-adhesive material. The rubber-like "sleeve" is ready immediately to use. The air filler requires only a compressor. The water filler requires a water pump and a water source. In addition in the case when said protected area has a very roughness surface the use of water filler can be required to use embedded valves because of the difference of heights causes an additional pressure that is equal to 10000 Pa/m. FIG. 5D
represents a variant that can be useful if flood water level remains the long time. A row of the additional sleeves 162 similar 130 are place on the upper surface of the expanded lower part 111 (not shown) of said web 110 and fixed to it by ropes or cables 149.
These ropes or cables are fixed in additional holes or hooks 147 made in said limiters 140 and additional bars or plates 148 connecting adjacent rear anchor blocks 121 (not shown).
FIG. 6A illustrates a variant using a zigzag-like placement of adjacent front members. It makes possible to strengthen additionally said barrier, connecting adjacent front members 101 by special sheets 170 and/or 171 that are on one side or on both sides.
Said sheet (FIG. 6B) includes a upper and a lower connecting strong elements (rigid or flexible) 173 and 174 that are connected two side elements 175. Said side elements are fixed to said front members to top end (176) of front member (175_1, 175_2, and 175 3 ¨FIGS. 6C, 6D, and 6E correspondently) and from below of said web (177) if said sheet is located in the side of flood, from above of said limiter (179) or between said limiter and said sleeve (178) if said sheet is place from rear side. The plane of said sheet can be made from armoring plastic or from metal or plastic lattice. Such sheets strengthen said barrier and protect said barrier against water wave and sharp object impacts.
FIG. 7 shows the special truck 210 for transporting said folded quick-installable barrier 200-201-202-203 and installing it. This truck is equipped with the overhead or floor conveyor 211 and can have a special inclined truck bed-platform 212. FIG. 7 represents said barrier in the process of its mounting. A part of said collapsed cells 200 remain on said conveyor inside said truck.
A quick-installable barrier of (FIG. 8A and further) is intended for protection against 1-2.5 meters flood water. It allows weakening strong incoming water flows and protecting areas, buildings and groups of separate houses. Said barrier is oriented for maximum fast delivery and mounting. This barrier has two implementations. The barrier of the first implementation consists of a set of simple cells sectioned by special frames 220 (FIG.
8B). Said quick-installable barrier 200 (a group of said cells) is suspended from guide rails 211 of said overhead conveyor by special sliding elements (not shown).
The frames can comprise said sliding elements necessary for transporting said package suspended on said overhead conveyor or other means. A part of said collapsed cells 200 (FIG. 7) remain on said conveyor inside said truck. Other part of said groups of cells move along a truck bed 212, whereas a part of said groups had been set up on the ground.
The next cell 201 is shown. The installation of said barrier includes the following steps:
(1) fixing the frame (final frame) nearest to the truck cab to the truck by a final cable; (2) fixing the extreme front frame of the extreme cell on the output position of said conveyor; (3) anchoring said extreme front frame into the ground (for example, by cable);
(4) moving said truck for the distance equal the longitudinal length of one group of said cells (between adjacent frames), and moving the extreme group of said cells from said conveyor to the truck bed and extending said package; (5) permanent moving said truck, pushing one next group of said cells after another, moving said group to the truck bed and moving the extreme groups to the ground. The cable that is attached to the cabin creates the necessary tension and allows stretching fully this barrier. Said final cable is released after moving last cell to the ground. During this process each extreme frame can be inhibited (stopped, slowed down) on the extreme position located on the truck with special grippers (they are not shown) to provide a complete unfolding all cells. Said frames can comprise one or more pins (they are not shown) directed down and fixed along one or more longitudinal lines. Said truck and its truck bed comprise one or more corresponding grooves so that said pins don't interfere moving said cells.
These pins can be useful for fixing said barrier to the ground.
A first embodiment of said extended celled quick-installable barrier is shown in FIG. 8A.
Adjacent cells are divided from each other by frames 220. Adjacent frames 220 spaced apart are connected to each other by main connecting elements 244 and 245 and form unified said barrier. One or more big bags are fixed between each pair of two adjacent said frames, and these bags form each said cell. The big bags 240 intended for filling with sand made from sacking or special plastic are placed between said frames 220.
Adjacent bags of each pair are connected to each other from above (232) said frame and from below (not shown).
FIG. 8B represents the second embodiment of said quick-installable barrier described in Pat. Appl. 13/506750 (Feldman et. al.). This embodiment is characterized in that folded walls are said connecting elements. The possibility of use of reinforced walls allows using a sand-gravel mix. Such quick-installable barrier comprises a trough-shaped open from above closed-end elongated water-impermeable housing 290 having a rectangular or trapezoidal U-shaped cross-section and is sectionalized and being folded also can be suspended on a conveyor, mounted on a movable platform, for example, of said trucks, and that can be easily deployed on the ground when said truck is moving. The proposed quick-installable barrier uses highly mechanized equipment for filling said bags with sand, pulp and other ballast and allows using different means of mechanization, developed and widely used in construction industry. A quick-installable barrier (FIG.
14A) is intended for protection against 1- 2.5 meters flood water. It allows weakening strong incoming water flows and protecting areas, buildings and groups of separate houses. The bottom and walls of said housing are covered an envelope 292 that is made from a water-proof strong material generally (and even sacking) and is attached to a sequence of equidistant located quadrilateral rigid frames 291 of the same cross-section and made of reinforced plastic or metal tubes or beams of special profiles.
These frames can be made from tube filled with water under pressure. The envelope is fastened to said frames 291. The internal space of said housing is intended for filling with heavy ballast chosen from the following group, including; sand, soil, pulp, wet sand, cement, concrete, gravel, sandbags, or their mixes. Said cell can have 4, 5 or 6-gonal horizontal cross-section.
FIGS. 8C-8D illustrates how the possibility of folding said barrier that is important difference from the first embodiment. FIG. 8C represent lines of the fold;
these lines are shown as dotted lines on the walls 222 and the bottom 221 of said envelope.
The internal space of said housing is sectionalized into equal cells (FIG. 8C). The longitudinal length of said cells is not more than the width of said housing. Further, said envelope is partitioned into groups of said cells by said frames, each of said group includes "N"
adjacent cells, where: N=1, 2..., where: N ¨ the natural number. These cells can be separated from each other by flexible or inflexible continuous aprons. The horizontal lines all-a12, a21-a22, and a31-a32 are separating lines that separate adjacent cells from each other (d) and correspond to said frames (the case of N=1). FIG. 8C shows an enlarged fragment of said walls. The lines bll-d11-b21 and b12-d12-b22 separate said walls from the bottom (b). The lines cll-c12 and c21-c22 are cross midlines (a) of corresponding cells. Said envelope of the housing 290 can be pleated using said dotted and said think lines, but so that said think horizontal lines all, a21, and a31 have to remain immovable. FIG. 14C illustrates conditionally the scheme of folding. A
central segment ell-e12 is formed by two vertexes ell and e12 of the right angles of the triangles bll-ell-b21 and b12-e12-b22. When approaching to each other said frames all-b11-b12-a12 and a21-b21-b22-a22 said central segment el 1-e12 lifts, the points dll and d12 come nearer, said triangles bll-ell-b21 and b12-e12-b22 are folded around midlines dll-e 11 and d12-e12, correspondently, the walls al 1 -b11-b21-a21 and a12-b12-b22-a22 of this cell are folded around midlines cll-dll and c12-d12, correspondently.
The midlines cll-dll and c12-d12 come nearer to the triangle midlines dll-e 1 1 and e12-d12, correspondently, as shown FIG. 8D. As a result said frames all-b 11-b12-a12 and a21-b21-b22-a2 will coincide. Corresponding areas of said walls are marked as 293 and 296. If suppose that the thickness of said frames is equal to 5 cm, and total the thickness of 4 folded walls dll-ell-bll, ell-b11-b12-e12, dl 1-el 1-b21, and b21-ell-e12-b22 has approximately the same value, then each cell having the longitudinal length 1.4 m will be squeezed by packetizing in 14 times approximately.
The opposite walls of said housing can be connected by different aprons, for example, cables, nets, or plastic sheets to hold the shape of said housing by loading ballast. These partitions can be located between lateral sides of said frames, or they can connected the opposite walls between said cells if the space between said these adjacent frames-spreaders comprises more than one cells. FIG. 8E shows that said walls (for example, 294) of said housing can be strengthened by reinforcement, by gluing (or by any fastening) inextensible or almost inextensible thin rigid sheets 295, and said walls can be assembled even from rigid panels connected by hinges, but so that they don't interfere with the folds around said foldable lines. The bottom can be made from a plastic net or a sacking that allows using a concrete as ballast for said barrier of a permanent structure.
The package should be prepared in advance (maybe even together with removable rails of an overhead conveyor in order for the new package can be quickly installed) and further these packages are installed on special trucks that are equipped with the overhead conveyor. Short dotted lines in FIG. 8E show that are additional fold lines in the case if given cell has a hexagonal form (FIG. 8E is a conditional image because of the walls and the bottom of said hexagonal cell form a non-planar surface). A barrier intended for flood protection and water or snow retention, suitable for use in rough terrain.

The design of said barrier allows increasing the height of said barrier. The frames can comprise special holes made in upper part that allow inserting additional vertical rods or tubes and fixing a strip of flexible water-proof web. The lower edge of said web can be fastened to upper edge of said wall (walls) with the help of zipper, Velcro-like and/or high adhesive covering. The possibility of height increasing allows compensating the roughness of the ground surface. The reinforced walls and long boom of said motor ballast pumps allow using said barrier to partition off little rivers. The first said truck located above on a current can be protects the second truck during mounting protective barrier.
However, even the most powerful barriers and the real quantities available ballast and the real sewer systems (rivers and diversion channels) are powerless before the peak of the masses of water created by natural processes. Therefore, reduction of the peak intensity of the streams of water is the main problem, for the solution of which is the following additional means.
Said barriers can protect houses or building or area, but cannot protect against landslides that can be caused by flood and sharp increase of level of ground waters.
Feature of landslides is that swelling soil or a layer of the earth and the stones, located over it, unexpectedly quickly slips down, covering located on its way of people and construction. Different methods of fixing of the soil on steep slopes are widely used, but it is physically impossible to fix all dangerous places. Two processes occur before the landslide will move: loosening of connections of a dangerous layer with underlying soil by fuzzying of separate places of the middle layer, connecting a dangerous layer with underlying soil and natural or artificial elements (stones, trees, fixing elements), fixing a dangerous layer, and in process of loosening of connections of a dangerous layer the rise of tension in said layer. Two problems are connected to landslides: fixing of slopes and danger warning.

FIGS. 8G shows inset p-cll-q. The position pl ql ¨normal, the length of the upper line a21-c11-al 1 is equal tO the length b21-d11-b11. The position p2q2 corresponds to upper line is more, the position p0q0 the lower line is more. These insets allow take into account the relief of area.
The main connecting elements 244 and 245 connect the adjacent side struts 223 to each another with the help of hinges 248 (FIG. 9A). The additional connecting element 246 allows fixing the angles of this connection. Said connecting elements are able to be folded for compactness on the conveyor using hinges 247 with fixing. FIG. 9B
shows two adjacent folded cells. These connecting elements and lateral struts form a parallelogram that widen possibilities for mounting in the conditions of roughness ground surface. The following FIGS. 9C and 9D represent more complete and less free design of said connecting elements that requires. FIG. 9E represents more simple construction. FIG. 9F
illustrates a possibility of the connecting element length change. The connecting element 244 (245) comprises a slot 238, inside of which said hinge 248 in an axis 239 can move for reducing said connecting element length (in the case if adjacent cell are located at an angle). A fixing element is not shown.
FIG. 9FG illustrates a placement of said big bag in unfolded barrier (a side view).
The frames separate each pair of two adjacent bags 240. The base member 221 of said frames and the bar 231 are shown (their cross-sections) Two adjacent bags are connected by ropes or cords (for example) 232 and 234. FIG. 9H represents a top view.
The open bag is filled with sand 247. The side struts 223 of the frame are shown. The upper edges of adjacent bags are connected 232 by the cord. The bottom edges (232) of said bags are connected also. The set of open bags are convenient for sand loading.
The proposed design allows to reduce essentially an amount of necessary sand (sand, dirt, pulp, stone) that is used for the creation of such barriers having given height.
The height of said side frames 220 is chosen more than the expected height of flood 262 in the lowest location of said barrier (FIG. 91). This figure shows each big bag must be filled only necessary height of sand and, correspondently, amount of sand 260 that is less that in the case when preliminary filled bags are used. The stepped level 263 shows approximately amount of sand when it is used widespread sandbags (this level 263 is defined from calculation that in the lowest place of given area the barrier consisting of two bags that are mounted one above the other is sufficient).
FIG. 9J shows as a special motor ballast (waste) pumps 204 (that are analogous to known "motor concrete pumps" or "motor waste pumps") can load the internal space of such cells of the quick-installable barrier 200 that had been installed on the ground with ballast (soil, pulp, flowable, sand, wet sand, cement, concrete, gravel, sandbags, or their mix, or bulk ballast). It uses a special placing boom 205. It is desirable to have the group of said motor ballast pumps that allows loading said ballast evenly and gradually.
Automobile transporters can be used additionally for loading sandbags, stones and the like. In many cases the flood happens near any river, and dredges can be used for stockpiling sand and loading said motor waste pumps. This controlled boom allows directly loading the interior of said housing. The proposed design allows realizing a straight line of mounting said quick-installable barriers. For example, if said barrier is located near the river, a working digger loads one after another the motor ballast pumps, which move, unload said ballast and come back to the river for new loading. The barrier can be equipped additionally with special light lamps located on the top edges of each cell helping to orient said boom (even automatically). The most popular model uses to boom with a 36, 41 and 48 m. They are completed with high- pumping capacity of 150 nodes and 180 m3 / h. Using the modern equipment as a guide we can assume that the rate of installation of said quick-installable barriers can reach 50 meters per hour and even more, i.e. a team can establish the quick-installable barrier at the rate of 1 km per day that is impossible for any other known variant of barriers.
FIG. 9K shows that after installation of said barrier on the ground surface as separate skeleton with empty bags the proposed design of said protective barrier allows to load such amount of sand (said level 262) into said bags 240 how much it is necessary taking into account the relief of given area and preliminary predicted level of expected flood. A
pointer 261 (for example, a laser level pointer) indicates the given level.
The horizontal laser ray 268 indicates said necessary level and a receiver on said motor 264 (FIG. 9J) gets this information, for example, using a set of photo receivers 265. A
control device (not shown) of said motor ballast pump 204 analyses said information, defines necessary amount of sand and loads said amount of sand, beginning from level 266 and ending level 267. Monitoring of level of loading can be supervised or a measuring instrument of level (not shown) that is fixed to the nozzle of the end of said boom 205 or measuring necessary amount of sand on its weight, or any different way. For setting or determination of necessary level different known geodesic instruments (by theodolite, level, or other) can be used.
Practically identical level of sand in all bags and superfluous height of side struts side struts, at least, those struts that are located on the side placed in opposite to flood, creates additional possibilities. FIG. 10A shows two holders 225 and 251, between which a folded sleeve 250 is placed. This sleeve can be placed in said truck in the form of a separate roll and can be drawn out in case of relocation of said barrier from said truck to the ground surface. The following figures illustrate one of possible variant of construction. FIG. 10B represents said crossbeam bar 231 that is held in said position by a holder 237_1. A pusher 235 and a compressed spring 236 placed inside a cylinder 230 press said bar 231 to said holder 2371. A fork 234 holds said bar in horizontal direction.
The holder 237_1 can be removed (in position 237_2) manually or automatic according to special signal. The moving away said holder 237 releases the left end of said bar, and the spring 236 pushes out said bar 231 that drops down together with upper edges of adjacent bags 240 (these edges are fixed to ledges 233) to the upper layer of sand. The holders 251 turn together with said holders 237 and release said sleeve 250 that drop down also to said upper layer of sand. FIGS. 10C-10E illustrate this process.
FIGS. 10D-10E shows a view in the direction of the arrow "A" (FIG. 10C). The lines 250_1 show edges of said sleeve 250. FIG. 10D shows folded sleeve 250 and the vertical holder 251_1. FIG. 10E shows displaced holder 251_2. FIG. 1OF repeats FIG. 8C. FIG.

shows the third position of said sleeve 250_3 that is placed on the upper level of sand. In this position said sleeve is connected to any pump of water and air and is filled with water or air. Special ropes 253 fixed to side struts 223 or base members 231 and more higher struts 223 located from behind hold said sleeve 250 in this position.
The flood pressure presses said sleeve to said rear strut 223. These ropes are placed between said bags and can be stretched by special units (not shown) after releasing said holders 251 and 237. Smaller pressure of a upper flood water layer allows to increase barrier height at the expense of the additional sleeve filled with air, reducing need for sand.
Lower surface of said sleeve can be covered with a hydrophobic layer for leakage reduction.
FIG. 10H
shows the frame 220. The frame 220 comprises a base member 221, two side struts 223, an additional upper member 224, and a crossbeam unit 230 connected to each other. Said unit comprises a bar-holder 231 that is movably mounted in said crossbeam unit 230. The front strut 223 that is nearest to flood comprises a holder 225 for holding a folded sleeve 250. Said sleeve 250 is placed between said holder 225 and a movable member connected to said front strut 223. Between each pair of adjacent frames said big bag 240 is placed, edges 241 and 242 or which is shown in this FIG. 10F. The upper edge of each said bag is fixed to previous bag (not shown) by special cord 232 or any other means.
Further FIG. 10H represents other 3-sleeves variant 250_4 that allows more effective using filler. Three sleeves are enveloped with "fishnet" stocking 254 that is additionally connected by thin threads 255.
FIG. 11A represents a front view of said quick-installed barrier and illustrates that such sleeve 250 allows increasing the height of said protective barrier up to 0.5 meters using only air filler. The zone between two lines AB and CD shows the economy in sand, reached by the offered design. FIG. 11B and FIG. 11C represents two-storeyer design of our barrier. The lower barrier uses extended base member 221-ex (224 and 231 that are not shown). The upper surface of this lower barrier is the plane surface and does not depend on the ground surface. Therefore, it allows mounting the second floor, using either prevalent big bags or above-described quick-installed barrier. In the last case it is useful to use connecting elements FIG. 9C-9D. These elements allow assembling unbending skeleton, lifting it with the help of one or two cranes and installing this skeleton to top of said first floor. The ends 222 of said base member 221 are able be separated to improve the sustainability (FIG. 12E).

FIG. 12A illustrates one variant of connecting two adjacent bags. Strips 276 that are sewed on surface of the bag comprise a set of openings 277. These openings are intended to be put on pins 278 of said base member 221 (FIG. 12B) and on ledges 233 of said bar 231 and on ledges of said upper member 224 (FIG. 8C). FIG. 12C represents another variant of connecting two adjacent bags 240_ and 240_2. Two strips 276_1 and 276_2 of these adjacent bags comprise a group of corresponding openings 267, and a plastic cord or rope 279 passes through these openings and fixes these bags to each another. FIG.
12D represents other variant, wherein said side struts 223 are fastened to the ground additionally with the help of extension supporting ridgepoles (supporting rods or ridgepoles or bracings) 280 and extension clutches or tension buckles 282.
Said clutches 280 are fixed to the struts in the points 281 and are anchored to the ground or supporting to supporting plates 283. FIG. 13A illustrates the location of adjacent cells 284 and 285 at an angle. The reducing of connecting elements move the frame 220 from the position 220-im to the position 220. FIG. 13B represents said barrier that includes normal cells 287 and expanded cells 287 and 288 that allow the barrier stability increasing.
However, even the most powerful barriers and the real quantities available ballast and the real sewer systems (rivers and diversion channels) are powerless before the peak of the masses of water created by natural processes. Therefore, reduction of the peak intensity of the streams of water is the main problem, for the solution of which is the following additional means.
One of the main causes of spring floods is extremely rapid snow thawing, especially, close to the riverheads. It is desirable to remove at least a part of snow mass in autumn and early winter in the form of thawing water, and reduce the amount of accumulated snow. Freezing the thawing snow in winter it is possible to delay spring thawing. These barriers ice will melt slowly and delay of the flow of thawing water. FIG. 14 illustrates this process. The curve 301 shows the intensity of thawing. Curve 302 illustrates a decrease in the intensity of the snow thawing if snow removes preliminary 304 and another portion 303 of the thawing is delayed. It is shown the weakening of the process of the spring thawing.

All said above barriers can protect against flood water having height up to 2.5 meters, may be 3 meters. But, firstly, it is almost impossible to provide with these means all necessary places, secondly, the height of floods in separate places often exceeds also this value, and, at last, rising of water is connected to that existing natural and artificial means of deleting (removal) water aren't capable of delete a rising water flow quickly.
Therefore the important task is not only protection of separate houses and the territories, but lowering intensity a rising water flow to approach it to possibilities of systems of deleting water.
Annually this problem arises in connection with thawing of snow. Pat. App!.
20120175427 (Feldman B. et al.) offered a group of devices for lowering maximum is offered intensity of thawing of snow, but these methods are bound to specific places and consequently have limited application. This proposed system for flood protection comprises additional means intended for weakening main water flows caused fast thawing snow. Two main procedures for weakening thawing water flows are offered: (1) during the winter, in a cold season, in dangerous places where it is necessary to delay thawing, create a set of barriers, including a set of ice barriers on ways of expected water flows in the foothills or on plains; (2) in the spring, at the thawing beginnings in those places where it is necessary to accelerate thawing narrow glades, facilitating a way of thawing water. For creation of said barriers, comprising ice barriers, it is used the following means: (a) the thin boxes filled with water 401 (FIG. 15A), which, falling broken off and water freezes, or water freezes in sais boxes forming ice arrays; (b) the boxes 402 filled with water 412 and having a thin flexible envelope filled with air 411 (FIG. 15B) softening a strike the ground, and said boxes can be broken off automatically or artificially; (c) unit 403 (FIG. 15C), including filled with oblate air (or nitrogen) the container 416 and/or the bulb 414 filled with water, a plastic balloon 413 which has hydrophobic fluffy covering 415. Such balloons can fall in the collapsed status and after falling can inflate. And further: (d) unit 404 (FIG. 15D) including a container with water 418 and a harmonious cardboard box 417 (tucks 419 are shown), which unfolds after falling. For creating water flow channels and an acceleration of thawing are used big boxes 405 (FIG. 15E) filled with hot water. FIG. 15F represents a possible example of a container 420 for water dropping down in case of a fire. The container 420 is made from an easy cardboard which does not permit water scattering in air (it is offered by Boeing).
But in case of extinguishing burned houses the massive container is able to break a roof or to destroy walls before will start to extinguish. Therefore, walls 421 and 422 of our container are strengthened (two-three layers of a cardboard), and built-in an explosive warhead 424 which can be blown up on the timer, a height sensor or a radio signal 425.
As a result slightly distributed stream will pour from said container over burning house.
The different walls 423, 432-1, and 432-2 allow controlling the grade of water scattering.
All these means are dropped down to given local zones from any flying means in the form of concentrated arrays. Similar boxes filled with cold liquid nitrogen or dry ice can be used for water flows freezing to stop or delay the very strong water flows.
Said elongated packages and boxes for the formation of ice masses are laid down preferably transverse to the paths of expected thawing water flows, and wherein said elongated packages and boxes for creating water flows are laid down preferably along the paths of possible ways of thawing water promoting these water flows. This task is very similar to fire extinguishing by concentrated water array. FIG. 15G and 15H show, correspondently, placement of the specified means between two mountain ranges.
The second reason of the severe floods are the showers caused either arrival of rain clouds or hurricanes. In both cases showers come from the sea. There is no other source of water, except the sea (ocean) or huge lakes. Pat. App!. 20120175427 (Feldman B. et.
al.) offered to use the shadow screen comprising a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs ¨FIGS. 16A, B) having expanded surface (UAVESes) flying in the form of ordered flock for weakening danger flood and, correspondingly, the intensity of dangerous water flows. This flock is able to cold the rain saturated cloud coming nearer from the sea and to promote condensations of water drops and triggering rain above ocean surface. FIGS. 16A-16B illustrate said aircrafts. A two-fuselages aircraft FIG. 16A
comprises a front wing 501, two fuselages 502, a rear wing 503, two tail assemblies 504, and two propellers 505 connected to electrical engines (not shown). Energy source of such aircraft is a plurality of solar cells (not shown) that are placed on upper surfaces of said wings and fuselages. The central part located between said fuselages 502 can be made from rigid plane or from thin non transparent film 506 (FIG. 16B). This film 506 can be fixed to said rear 503 and front wings 501 permanently or can be ropes 511 with the help of which can be rolled and unrolled only in flight. This film can include also a group of embedded thin tubes 513 that are connected through branch pipe 512 to an internal air pump (not shown) that allows smoothing out said film.
It is very important that said UAVESs, a plurality of which compose said flock, should be technological and cheap. The design (FIG. 16C) corresponds there requirements.
FIG.
16C represents more simple and cheaper one-fuselage embodiment of said aircraft. Said screening surface is formed by either one wide or a group of narrow thin film strips 508 that are fixed to the front wing 501. Other modern possibility is the use of thin flexible solar cell fabrics. The rear ends of said strips can be fixed additionally by sliding or turning rod 514 J or a pair of inflatable tubes 514_t connected by their ends (FIG.16D
and FIG. 16E). FIGS. 17A-17H represent a set of possible variants of said strips implementation. These strips can be fixed to the wing 501 directly or can be connected to one or more several reels connected to electrical motor(s) or spring mechanism(s) (not shown). FIG. 17A shows a simple strip. FIG. 17B represents said strip that comprises a vertical thin plastic bar (like a rubber bar) 517 placed on upper surface near its end, and that forms together with said strip a tail-like assembly. This bar is designed to stabilize said strip position. FIG. 17C and FIG. 17D represent other variant of aerodynamic stabilization with the help of special cut 515 using an air stream. It is possible to use the combinative variant as it is shown in FIG. 17E.
FIG. 17F shows yet another variant wherein said strip includes two (in this figure) or more built-in tubes 516. These tubes are connected to an air pump (not shown) embedded into said wing 500 that allows unrolling said strip. FIG. 17G shows a variant wherein said strips 508 together with said built-in thin tubes 516 are connected to said wing 501together with wing flaps 518 of a monoplane or biplane embodiment. Each of said strips is a continuation of corresponding channels 507 made inside said wing 501. The front openings 519 of said channels can be dilated to concentrate an input air flow. These opening can be closed by takeoff and can be opened in flight. These strips can have resilient walls that are able to roll said strips in non-working state (as self-rolling) and allow unrolling in flight. Said strips can consist of folded rigid plates (not shown).
This UAV 520 having expanded surface (UAVES) can have a size up to 50*100 sq m or more and have the definite place in the ordered flock (FIG. 18A). Using modern GPS
(GPS-IIF-2 or high-precision inertial navigation) the distance between adjacent aircrafts in said flock can be 0.6-1 meters or less. This allows creating the screen, comprising a plurality of said UAVESs, having the expanded surface providing approximately up to 70% of density. The quantity production, 3D printers and modern materials give the price of UAVES (without additional antennas and generators) together with only necessary solar cells will not exceed $10 000. FIG. 18B shows that lengthening a path 510 of said aircraft allows moving all flock. Three GPS ( or other navigation means) receivers (two on the wing ends and one on the tail allow fully defining the position and incline of said UAVES. These data are sufficient for the simplest program, controlling said flock moving (FIG. 18A). FIG. 18B shows (510) moving said flock as whole.
FIG.
18C shows additional ultrasound or light sensors 509 that allow additionally controlling the distances between adjacent UAVESs additionally including dangerous situations.
Said UAVES being in-flight having an expanded surface has a rectangular or diamond-shaped horizontal shape allowing creating a screen of the greatest possible density.
FIG. 19A represents two said types of said unmanned aerial vehicles: UAVES 520 and a transport unmanned aerial vehicle (TUAV) 530. The upper surface of said UAVES

(at least a upper surfaces of said strips or only said strips) is covered with a plurality of solar cells 521. These cells are connected to a storage battery 522 by printed conductors-wires (not shown). The generator(s) 523 is connected to antenna(s) 524. Said comprises a rectenna(s) 531 that is connected to second generator 532 supplying a laser 533.
The new technology of a Wirelessly Transmit of Electricity developed by Volvo Technology Japan Co., Ltd. and Nippon Dengyo allows wirelessly transmit of electricity to distance of 4-6 metes (very high efficiency up to 84%). This new method uses a frequency of 2.45 GHz (the most lower of transparency range that begins from this frequency). The approaching said UAVES and TUAV and their joint flight on such distance are quite real that makes this method can be competitive to direct transmission of the charged units. Therefore, a plurality of said UAVESs 520 forming screen having a sufficient density and can simply reflect a sunlight falling on them or by means of solar elements to turn falling energy into an electric current and to use, for example, as will be shown below.
FIG. 19A represents also said TUAV 530 equipped with a generator 532 and 60-femtosecond laser 533. The results of new researches (J. Kasparian, et al) show that 10-sm rays of such laser allow acting to rain drops: 3.5 TW and more powered laser rays are able to trigger rain. On contrary the low-powered rays cause lowering humidity in air and hinder with a rain. The modern laser of this type has too large volume, but in the near future it is possible to expect that their location at airplanes becomes possible.
FIG. 19B illustrates an action such TUAV equipped with such laser on a rain cloud to cause a rain in such region where it will bring more favor or won't put a damage, for example, above ocean. FIG. 19C shows a scheme of action on a hurricane by said TUAV.
FIG. 19D represents said TUAV intended for energy transporting.
Another source of water flows are cloudbursts. Typically, rainclouds are moving from sea or large lake to the land and bring water. If too much water, it turns into a terrible disaster, washing away crops and villages, causing loss of life, with its abundance. It is possible two ways to reduce the intensity of water flows: (1) the trigger rain above the sea or lake or (2) to delay of rain, stretching region of precipitation and reducing their intensity in each part of their way. The heating of the upper part of the raincloud allows delaying the precipitation. This promotes evaporation of moisture, crushing of ice crystals, preventing condensation and expansion of raindrops. In addition, the heating of the upper part of the cloud can help to reduce through melting snowflakes and their transformation into a more easily removable moisture. On the other hand, glaze ice and ice storm forming in the icy rain in the area of warm air front by cold air near the ground surface may be weakened by heating the earth's surface. The same effect can be useful to protect the agricultural against the frost. These effects require a significant energy source, which can be only Sun. However, the possibility of using solar energy depends on the state of the atmosphere. Cloudy weather may be on the order to weaken the solar flux.
Therefore, it is useful to separate the functions of: energy obtaining and its use. It is convenient to receive solar energy at height 20 - 25 km or above (above the ozone layer, which absorbs UV energy). The force of the wind reaches its maximum at the height of km (30 m/s), to the heights of 20 km it decreases to about 10 m/c, and the wind pressure is relatively low, the air is less dense and the load acting on the structure is 30-40 times. This allows leaving the main clouds with lightning and possible routes of passenger aircrafts and allows the use of airships with an extended surface (of the order of 10E4-10E5 sq m) to accommodate the solar cells. On the other hand, airships having an extended surface is not able to quickly change the height and descend for the exchange of energy, but able to transmit energy or by ray, or to use any auxiliary special transport means.
FIG. 20 illustrates different possibilities of the useful use of said sun radiation screens, according to US Pat Appl. 20120175427 (Feldman B. et al). Monitoring weather centers and management stations are not shown. FIGS. 20A-20B illustrate said screening effect on the example of Aral Sea. FIG. 20A shows the approximate dependence of the amount of evaporated water (1) for each month of the year (Pat. RU 2026472, Feldman).
This curve is based on old data when the sea degradation rate was lower. The vertical scale is conditional. The ice melting began in April, and water evaporation increases sharply. In September the external temperature decreases, and water evaporation decrease.
The curve 2 has been calculated, and it shows how said water evaporation decreases depending upon of delay of ice melting that can be achieved by increasing the thickness of the ice (by freezing), by covering ice with a protective layer, and also by means of delaying the ice melting using chemical substance or screening sun radiation.
The melting delay of 1 month is capable of saving about 20% water (2) of total volume of evaporation water (FIG. 20B). This idea can be useful in Canada taking into account that Canadian lakes lost more than 1.2% of original area over the last 10 years.
FIG. 20C shows that in case of danger that any part 600 of ocean surface 601 can appear overheated (temperature more 26.5 C) the artificial cloud 603 is capable of reducing a share of solar energy flux reaching surface of ocean and preventing from the further rise of said ocean surface temperature. FIG. 20D shows that the artificial cloud 603 is capable of helping a preservation of the glacier 602. FIG. 20E illustrates a possibility of rain initiation in the necessary place 604. The artificial cloud 603 located above rain cloud weakens a solar energy flux that cools the upper part of this rain cloud 605, promotes ice crystals (drop condensation centers) formation, and causes a rain 606.
Simultaneous use of known means of rain initiation (iodide silver, small particles, laser radiation etc.) can only strengthen this effect. FIG. 20F illustrates other frequent case when monsoons or other winds bring said rain or snow clouds 605 causing flooding (or snow) at coast.
Timely notice about moving rain cloud 605 (for example, by means of satellites) above ocean surface allows to create the artificial cloud 603 which can initiate earlier rain or snow 606 over ocean decreasing total quantity of water in cloud and to weaken possible flooding. FIG. 20G represents an opposite case. The artificial cloud 603s that is capable to strengthen solar energy flux 607 warms the upper part of the rain cloud and promotes melting of existing ice crystals that interferes with their formation and an origin of rain in the said place. FIG. 20H shows a possibility of strengthening of wind and, accordingly, a efficiency of wind generators 613 creating on the one hand from generators (windward side) cooled area and, correspondently, increasing atmospheric pressure 611, and, on the other hand (leeward) heating up by means of other artificial cloud or any in another way an opposite area and reducing pressure 612. It causes a wind strengthening.
FIG. 201 shows that said artificial cloud 603 cools a lake surface 621 preventing water evaporation. FIG. 20J shows that said artificial cloud 603 cools a droughty area surface 621 preventing with water evaporation and keeping water in soil. It can be useful and for the Aral Sea in Central Asia, for the Salton Sea in southern U.S. and for Chad-lake in Central Africa, and can be useful for Canadian lakes. FIG. 20K shows the protection of dry forest 640, wherein the forest fire is possible. The cloud located over any edges of the ice field allows strengthening this edge of the ice. Such artificial cloud could be flying for many years using a minimum of material (e.g. film thickness up to 51_1 and the area of about 30 thousand square meters for each UMAV). Such clouds can be moved to another location desired in given time. As such "umbrellas" can be used and the clouds created from short-living frozen soap bubbles. Metallic surfaces located on the ground under said screen can increase effect of said screens.
FIG. 20L illustrates a possibility of moving clouds, changing a solar radiation flux and creating a temperature difference in adjacent areas. It is enough to change temperature only on the one part. FIG. 20M illustrates yet another opportunity, independent or accompanying one of other processes shown in Fig. 20C and FIG. 201. The cloud reduces the amount of solar energy reaching the ocean surface 621 causing a decrease of water temperature and, consequently, increases CO2 absorption. The average solubility increment depends on many factors, but at normal pressure it can be accepted, as 0.045 grams/liter*degree Celsius. It is known that a surface layer 631 having thickness that is equal to some meters (we shall accept, 10 meters) is capable of cooling in a night (i.e.
losing the heat that was received throughout the day). If in following day the temperature of the layer 631 will not be restored (because of said deficiency of heat) then the layer 630 will start to be cooled. Let us assume that said layer 630 has 10 meters thick. We shall accept that as a result of 10 % of solar deficiency within several days the temperature of a layer 630 will fall off on 5 degrees Celsius. Then the volume that is equal to 10 cu. m (10000 liters) appropriating 1 qu. m of ocean surface will absorb 0.045*10000*5 = 2,25 kg CO2. 109 tons of CO2 or 1012 kg require 4.4*1011 qu. m by 10% covering, and, correspondently, 4.4 millions of UMAVs, each of which comprises membrane having square that is equal to 100*100 qu. meters. This quantity is not too great if to consider necessity and that annual production of cars (much more complex) exceeding 70 million units. This storage is dynamical; an ocean current carries away water together with absorbed CO2, there this water slowly heats up and allocates gas back. Said process of absorption proceeds continuously in the meantime in a zone covered with said cloud in the meantime where coming new water is sated with CO2.
FIG. 20N shows a coastal sea area 632 and a coast 631. In the morning the intensified solar energy flux 607 warms coastal sea area 632 that has not had time to cool down yet for a night. The water vapors 633 rise upwards 634 and are carried away to coast by morning breeze 635 sated with a moisture. Many dangerous weather phenomena are connected with formation, transformation and movement of atmospheric fronts.
Shielding of sunlight and cooling warm air masses, that are usually located above an inclined surface of said front, can assist in said front tailing and easing of intensity of dangerous phenomena. FIG. 200 shows that cooling of the edge of the ice field 650 allows to strengthen this edge and to make easier navigation.
The following items represent means for the help to people who have remained in disaster area.
FIG. 21A, 21B and 21C (the top view) represent an airship (a hybrid, or a flying saucer, or etc.) having a hull 700 (flexible in the case of the dirigible) that is fixed to a rigid skeleton (not shown) of said vehicle. Said skeleton include a frame 710. Said vehicle include three, for example, preferable, cylinder-like ballonets 701, 702 and 703 having gas-tight walls and filled with light-weight gas, for example, helium. These ballonets are able to become elongated downwards bounded by guides 711, 712, and 713 under action of some force directed downwards. The vehicle can include either only one ballonet (701 or 702(703)), or two ballonets (702 and 703), or all three as FIG. 21A shows.
The vehicle including said 702 and/or 703 ballonets that intended to control landing using inflated balloons 705. FIG. 21D shows a possibility of the use additional ballonet 706 and additional engine 734a that connects said stretchable walls and the frame 714 attached to said skeleton and that is able to compensate fully freight 730 in the case when the possibilities of the ballonet 701 is not sufficient. The "ring" 715 is rigid "ring" fastened to said envelope of said wall(s) and fasted to said frame 710 that is a part of said skeleton.
The ballonets 701 and 706 can be common ballonet or can be divided by rigid plane (not shown). This ballonet 705 can be used to control landing and take-off The ballonets 702 and 703 can be used instead of said ballonet 701. FIG. 21E represents a top view of said dirigible together with four lateral cruise engines 716. FIG. 21F shows a variant of a flying saucer that comprises one freight ballonet 701 and three ballonets (702, 703, and 704) to control landing and/or take-off.

The ballonet 703 (for example) is shown in FIG. 22A and 22B. Said ballonet includes an inextensible top 743 and bottom 741 covers. These covers are gas-tight or are additionally protected by gas-tight material 745 and 744. Side walls 742 will be described below. The edge of said bottom cover 741 are connected through a symmetrical group of solid connections 735 to a device 734 that is controlled by a signal 737 and connected through a rod or a cord 736 to the frame 710. This vehicle can include fixing means excluding some vibrations of said bottom cover when said vehicle moving. The expansion of side walls 746, preferably preliminary expanded, of said ballonets (702 and/or 703) changes the lifting force and allows controlling the processes of landing and take-off said vehicle. FIG. 22C represents a part of said ballonet 701 that is intended for fast airdropping freight 730 (see also FIG. 21A). Said ballonet 701 is fixed to said frame 710 of said skeleton and has an expandable side wall (s). Freight 730 is fixed to said bottom cover 741 of said ballonet with the help of claws 731 on three or more sides (or on four sides in FIG. 21C). These claws 731 are shown as example. They are hung by hinge(s) 732 and include grips 733 for fixing to said guides 711 excluding some vibrations of said bottom cover 741 and said freight 730 when said vehicle moving. After the signal "drop" (not shown) the claws 731 go from the position "b" to the position "a", release said freight 730 that airdrops downwards, release said grips 733 from said guides 711, and allow lifting said bottom cover 741 compensating increasing said lifting force.
FIGS. 22F-22J illustrate a structure of said wall(s) of said ballonets. Said wall(s) include two layers: one layer, for example, the first layer 742 (internal or external) has "super elastic" properties, preferably, preliminary tensioned; the second layer 749 is gas-tight envelope. The use of two-layer structure is connected with extreme complexity to combine the requirement of extensibility of said side wall and very high ability of helium to diffuse. Said envelope of the ballonet 701 has a height that is equal to maximum vertical size of said ballonet by maximum freight. The gas-tight envelopes of said ballonets 702 and 703 are defined their maximum volumes that are need to control said landing and tacking off. Each said ballonet includes a set of closed thin inextensible hoops 708 (FIG. 22H) made from metal, plastic, or composite and the form of which corresponds to the horizontal cross-section of the appropriate ballonet. Said hoops can include additional internal structure (not shown) to provide saving their form. Said hoops are located equidistantly approximately and fastened to each said envelope.
The first layer can be placed either near each said envelope (FIGS. 22F and 22G), or fastened to said hoops 708 (FIG. 22E). FIG. 22D illustrates the need said partition. The area of the triangle "ceh" is more than the summary areas of two triangles "cdf' and "deg", though the lengths of broken lines "eghfc" and "egdfc" are identical. The opportunity to change lifting force at the expense of direct influence of the attached freight allows excluding the need of use of built-in pumps or light-weight gas heating up for change of said lifting force. It significantly reduces a weight of the equipment and time of this process. The use of polyurethane allows stretching by 3-4 times under the influence of the freight. In case if the volume of said balloon is changed (for simplicity of the cylinder having a radius "r"
of the base and the height h of said cylinder), then er2*Ah and the lifting force receives the increment:
AF= er2*Ah*(da-dg), where: da-dg ¨ the difference of specific weights of air and light-weight gas.
The weight P causes increasing the height of said cylinder:
Ah/h =P/2*ex*r*t*M, where: M- coefficient of elasticity, t- thickness of said envelope, x- auxiliary coefficient.
For AF>P and real value: r=20 m, h=20 m, t=0.2 sm:
1\45.1.2/x (MPa).
Only polymers can have M= 0.1-10 MPa. The rubbers have M=3-8 MPa. However, new materials belonging to a class of hydrogels show the best values, for example, Zhigang Suo (Harward university) developed a new material on the basis of alginate and polyacrylamide. The ionic communications of broken-off molecules of alginate allow distributing uniformly an energy of impact on all area and all volume of this material, it protects molecules of polyacrylamide which provide elasticity of a hydrogel material from a rupture. Such interaction of two components leads to that hydrogel, stronger than rubber, can be expanded by 20 times of rather initial length. For example, the most elastic material of a natural origin rubber can be expanded by only 5-6 times. The second layer provides tightness therefore the first can consist of separate tapes, wires or even springs (FIG. 221) that corresponds x<1. It is desirable that the first layer was fastened to all hoops, or at least to part of hoops (FIG. 22J).
FIG. 23Aillustrates the process of fast airdropping said fright on the example of such hybrid, in which said light gas creates at least a part of the lifting force (LF). Till FD
(freight dropping) time moment such hybrid losses a speed and several means (a thrust vector control or additional engines or light gas heating) compensate the reduction of said lighting force (an interval a-FD) and turns into hovering state. In the time moment FD
after freight airdropping the lifting force sharply increases (an interval FD-b) and further decreases to the equilibrium value (the line of abscissa). The regime 0 corresponds to safe option of said hybrid then the construction doesn't have time to react. Such design is the most desirable and economic. Alternatively, it I s necessary to compensate said freight airdropping at the expense of creation of an artificial gravity, and such to move this dependence to the position 0, using additional engines or the thrust vector control. The increase of rigidness of the upper surface of a dirigible and the use of the appropriate form of this upper surface, whereby the pressure center at lifting lay on one vertical with the center of gravity, allow moving the line 0 in situation 1 or even 2 and to exclude need of compensating. It is possible to use either the thrust vector control (FIG.
21D represents four engines) or three or more additional jets located on top of said air ship (not shown).
FIG. 23B represents the diagram of a controlling system. A control unit 738 receives signals (a) from sensors (not shown) of a vertical acceleration or of threads tension or of pressure in said balloon 701 and (b) from "Drop start" signal. Stretchy flexible sensors that are developed in Hong Kong can be used as vertical threads. The control unit 738 controls mechanisms of said freight 730 release (claws 731 by means of controllers 739) and regimes of compensating engines 737.
FIG. 24A shows said vehicle 750. 751 represents reduced volume of said vehicle by landing. 752 ¨ additional external ballonets that are used for touch to the ground. FIG.
24B illustrates landing said vehicle on water between breakwaters 753 that are anchored 754. FIG. 24C shows the top view of said external ballonets 752 (or other balloons) having a cut 755 that is closed by a zipper 756 (for example). The controllable slider 756 allow quick to open this cut. Such additional external ballonets can be filled with air (if landing on ground) or filled with water ballast when said vehicle landing on water. It is possible landing on the bottom by shallow water (by flooding). Such possibility allows unloading or loading said vehicle very easy.
The use of geothermal devices of the self-supporting mode as abnormal power source is the most economical. The self-supporting device is proposed in our patent (1996, Feldman B.Y., Feldman M.B.)-FIG. 25A (This idea is repeated in T.-H.
Yang's US Pat. 7062911(2003), JP2005283014 (2005), EP1596139 (2005)). The vertical tubes of ascending heated heat transporter fluid 811 and of descending cooled heat transporter fluid 812 are buried in the ground. At the depth they are connected to each other with the heat exchanger 815, for example, a tube, in which said heat transporter fluid is heated from the heat of ambient ground. Said vertical tubes are insulated from the ambient ground. The different height of these vertical tubes prevents the penetration of the heated fluid (lighter) to the tube 812 and plays the role of one-way valve.
The disadvantage is the need of the tilt of used heat exchanger 50-200 meters in length that requires two boreholes and, more importantly, a connecting gallery between them. The new L-shaped self-supporting device is represented Ha FIG. 25B. The notation is the same as in FIG. 25A. The hydro (liquid) traps or siphons 816 and 819 are thermally insulated from the ambient ground, and they as one-way valves prevent from reverse movement of heat transporter fluid. Therefore, the tubes 811 and 812 may be located in the one borehole, but it is desirable that two branches 817 and 818 of the heat exchanger 815 belong to one horizontal plane spaced apart. They may be thermo conductive connected to each other. The space around said heat exchanger has to be filled with thermo conductive filler. There are technologies of inclined (horizontal) drilling (slant drilling, horizontal drilling). Horizontal drilling has long been used in straight pipeline corridors that can't be excavated (highways, take¨offs etc.). The temperature increasing weakens the operation of said self-supporting device FIG. 25B, and may even stops it, if the pressure difference, created by the difference of the densities of descending and ascending fluid flows will not be in sufficient to overcome the resistance of entire path. In the case of stopping the temperature in the entire path will be approximately constant.

The automatic start of said device will begin then the ambient air temperature falls to necessary value. For this it need the upper valve (liquid trap) 816 and similar upper heat exchanger 813-814-815. To combat against snow, such devices are needed only episodically, but the rest time the circulation of the heat transfer fluid can be switched to other upper heat exchangers that able to use the heat for other purposes, for example for electricity generation and transfer it into common power network, and it is at the frosty periods, when the demands for electrical energy are maximum (not shown). The control of devices can be external, using data on temperature, snowfall and time, but can be and autonomous using the readings of the sensors and hours (it is not shown). The proposed devices can be useful in Polar Regions, in the mountains, etc. They can be used as emergency energy sources in the event of natural disasters, except perhaps earthquakes. It is possible variant when lower heat exchanger can be immersed in water having a constant positive temperature in the cold areas, and especially in those places where the water flow increases heat removal that is limited in the underground. It may be suppose a coaxial variant (FIG. 25C) or the variant (FIG. 25D) using the vertical part of two tube isolated 821-822 of the borehole and an inclined borehole including an inclined heat exchanger 824 and an isolated part 825. The upper valve- liquid trap 816 is necessary, separating the upper heat exchanger 813-814 from the ascending tube 811.The seasonality of work is the feature of said self-supporting devices that is useful for weakening maximum melt water flows and for compensating maximum energy consumption at the very cold time. When this device is used to protect a road (highway) against icing-over it is possible that this icing appears directly after long warm time period. In this it is possible that the motion of liquid delays too long due to the slow convection of cold water in a narrow tube 812(822). Therefore, the little pump 823 (FIG.
25E) is useful 2-3 times per year according to weather forecast signal 829 and can be energy supplied from the storage battery 827 that is charged during to whole year from solar cells 828.
We estimate the parameters of such devices, limited to the turbulent regime, and assuming that the tube material and design shall be such that thermal expansion of tubes in the operating temperature range can be neglected, and the upper and lower tubes heat exchangers represent the equivalent of the same length.
Let us introduce the following notations:
Tg ¨ the temperature of the ground at a depth of H meters ( C);
Ts ¨ the temperature of the terrestrial surface( C);
ta ¨ the ascending water temperature ( C);
td ¨ the descending water temperature ( C);
tm ¨ mean temperature ( C);
g ¨ the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/sec2 );
Ha Hd H ¨ heights correspondently of the ascending and descending tubes (m);
L ¨the length of underground tube, tube-heat exchanging (m);
w ¨ water velocity (m/sec);
p ¨ the water density (g/m3);
D - the tube diameter (m);
¨ heat transfer coefficient (ccal/m*h* C);
v ¨ kinematic viscosity (m2/sec);
a ¨ the heat transfer (ccal/m2* C);
c ¨ the specific heat (ccal/kg* C);
P- the pressure (Pa);
Nu ¨Nusselt number, Pr ¨Prandtl number, Re =U*D/v -Reynolds number; TC =3 . 1 4 1 6 .. . ;
Q ¨total heat transfer (ccal).
At first: the stationary flow requires that the pressure drop caused by the difference of weights of the liquid in said descending and ascending tubes was sufficient to overcome the resistance (using Blasius's law):
AP= g*Ap*H? 0.316*(1/d)* p*(u2/2)* [HaiReo.25 -o¨

c)]+Hd/Re .25(-15 C)] +
2* [L/Re 25(-5 C)] z0. 16* p*(ui.75/D 25)*{H*[v( .25)(5oc)+
v( .25)(-15oc)]2ii* v( 25)( ..5o";
This implies that:
U1'75<6.25*g*(Ap/p)*DI.25*( 1 /10/ 25)(5 C)+V( .25)(_ 15 C)]
( 1 +L/H).

An approximate calculation of the following conditions: Ts = -15 C, Tg= +5 C, ta =
+5 C, td= -15 C, D=0.2 m, the heat transfer liquid 30% CaC12that is liquid at the temperature above -50 C.
Correspondently: Ap/p = 0.0072; v( 25)(5 C)= 0.044; v( 25)(-15 C)-0.055; k=2;
Whence L/H= (0.313/ U1:75)-1;
At second: the length of the lower heat exchanger has to be sufficient to heat the heat transfer liquid:
a* (70L)*(Ts ¨ tm) > 0.25* (7r*D2)*U*c* p*(ta-td);
where: a=Nu* k/D; and if U>0.1, Re(5 C)=0.02/3.776*10(-6)=5260>2300, therefore, the mode is turbulent;
Nu= 0.021*Re 8*Pre 43*(Prl/Prw) 25*E; and let us suppose that c=2, then [p4_5oc)o43]*[(pr(..5oc)/[pr(5oc)10 25*6 z,11.64;
1050*uo.8; c=0.651; p=1300; or L=145*U *2;
at third, the value H has to correspond to the constant positive temperature, i.e. H>15 m.
We choose 1-1¨ 25 m, that corresponds to U=0.2 m/sec and L=106 m. In the case of the horizontal arrangement the length of the horizontal gallery for self-supporting mode should be equal to 53 m.
The circulation of the heat-carrier on the floors in the house of 850 can be replaced by a scheme of FIG. 25F, in which the upper heat exchanger 851 (814 and 815) is connected to the rods 852 and flexible trains 853 with a high thermal conductivity, for example, graphite, which carry the heat along the entire object. It is possible to use heat pipes. FIG.
25G illustrates the use of underground heat in a small house. This circulating heat can be used either directly, or connecting said upper heat exchanger to a transformer "heat-electricity", for example.
