Barren Island Volcano that was dormant for 150 years is erupting again in Andaman

By -


In a new study, researchers have revealed that India’s only active volcano located in the Andaman and Nicobar islands has started erupting again after being in the dormant state for over 150 years.
According to researchers, the volcano is spewing small amount of ashes in intervals and might explode massively at any time.
The Barren Island volcano is located 140 km northeast of Port Blair and was inactive until 1991, and since then the volcano has erupted in irregular intervals. Scientists say that the volcano is spewing out ash again and might create havoc once it starts exploding.
The activity was first observed by the CSIR-NIO scientists on January 23, 2017. Researchers explained that they were aboard RV Sindhu Sankalp ship for collecting samples of the sea floor in the Andaman Basin near the Barran Island volcano when they first spotted it spewing ashes into the sky.
Scientists were at a distance of nearly a mile from the volcano and started observing the activity. They revealed that the volcano was erupting in small intervals of five to 10 minutes which resulted in the formation of clouds made up of ash. Another team of scientists visited the volcano three days later and found that it was erupting molten lava streaming down the slopes that was destroying everything in its path.
Study authors have collected samples of sediments and water in the vicinity of the volcano and recovered coal-like black pyroclastic material representing proximal volcanic ejecta. While giving a statement, scientists said that the clouds are visible at the mouth of the Barren Island volcano and it is still spitting smoke in the sky. In addition, the collected samples will help CSIR-NIO scientists in unraveling the mysteries and nature of the volcano.
Scientists are studying and observing the nature of India’s only active volcano for past several years. CSIR-NIO scientists have observed activity of volcano for at least four years before witnessing the latest eruption. However, no scientist has ever tried of land on the volcano as it was considered very risky and dangerous.

INDIA WON’T SUPPRESS TEWARI’S FREE ENERGY GENERATOR.

India considers its own free energy program a matter of national pride, and is very much willing to risk antagonizing Petrodollar countries with its support on Reactionless AC Synchronous Generator (RLG) invented by its own Paramahamsa Tewari, an electrical engineer and former Executive Director of Nuclear Power Corporation of India. Years ago, Tewari had also proven the theories inside Bruce de Palma’s homopolar engine which first exposed this writer to the world of free energy technologies. Obviously, a country cannot implement its own free energy program without considering all possible consequence including a military response from Petrodollar countries, e.g. Saudi Arabia, UK, US. That’s why India has been aligning its own military program with that of Russia which at present is standing up, together with the BRICS countries, against the Nazionist cabal that is imposing all sorts of sanctions to destroy the Russians. The BRICS alliance has in the past promised to rele...

Google Earth discovers stone gates in Saudi Arabia: Precursor to more mysterious civilization?

Saudi Arabia is widely considered a barren desert in the ancient ages, but a new discovery hints that the country was home to various archeological sites in the past which are yet to be discovered. A study conducted with the help of Google Earth has discovered ancient giant stone gates in Saudi Arabia, supposedly the remnants of an ancient civilization. With the help of Google Earth imagery, scientists have discovered more than 400 stone gates which were not documented before in the country. David Kennedy, the researcher at the University of Western Australia said that these stone structures will not be visible at the ground level, but once we move up a few hundred feets, these stone gates stand out beautifully lined up. He added that the gates will be visible in satellite images too. "I refer to them as Gates because when you view them from above they look like a simple field gate lying flat, two upright posts on the sides, connected by one or more long bars," said...

In a move that once again proves   its commitment to renewable energy , China has begun construction on its first large-scale commercial solar plant out in the sun-dreched expanse of the Gobi Desert. Called Delingha, the colossal facility will spread out across 25 km² (6,300 acres) of vacant land in the country's Qinghai province, and will feature six huge solar towers hooked up to an array of solar mirrors. When complete, the plant will have a capacity of 200 megawatts, which means it will be able to supply electricity to 1 million households in Qinghai year-round. "Its designed heat storage is 15 hours, thus, it can guarantee stable, continual power generation," Qinghai Solar-Thermal Power Group board chair, Wu Longyi,   told the press . The facility is the first solar plant to be run as a commercial entity, and   according to Svati Kirsten Narula at Quartz , it’s being jointly developed by BrightSource Energy, based in Oakland, California, and the Shanghai El...
