Heavy Steel Plumb Bob shape device to stop oil flowing from wellhead under Gulf of Mexico
This is a very heavy steel "plumb bob" positioned over the well casing which would weigh many, many TONS. Like a giant funnel, steel casing inside, solid metal or lead inside around well casing, valve at the top for oil to flow and or to inject materials into the well to stop flow of oil. 4 hydraulic stanchion support legs. Interior hydraulic cone to open on demand with screw or hydraulics. This is a heavy piece of equipment capable of withstanding at least 50,000 PSI at the well head. The bottom of the main cone could have fluted hydraulic ports to release oil as it is set in place. Design by Jim Howard - 5/10/2010
