MOLE: You were right on the money. He did. Missed the mark as usual. More pie in the sky dreamer than hands on the Gulf. Just throw money at the problem and all will be better. No plan to make it so. It will just happen. And he's criticizing BP? Go figure. The irony is that the only political figure on the scene now who has experience hands on experience with the oil companies is Sexy Sarah P. She lost, thanks to McCain and Barack. Maybe the Obama Admin can appoint her/hire as a consultant to deal with the Gulf Coast issues/dilemma and then the Prez can do what he likes to do best: Play golf, not Gulf. Carmine D. Palin??? ...Thankfully NOT!.... "Drill Baby Drill!" is not the basis of a sound "Energy Policy" LOL

Stephen; I do know the topic of this thread. If it is about vacuum cleaners, it is "The famous actor says a combination centrifuge and vacuum cleaner......." Discuss this vacuum and not how good/bad the President is, how someone feels about Sarah Palin, Fords, Toyotas, Religion, sexuality, etc. Keep the discussion on vacuum cleaners, because that is what this forum is about. Things can/do happen for the worse, so it is important that we try to keep in one direction. My post is not up for discussion, but is to let you know to keep on topic. Mike W. Moderator

As the moderator, what do you think about an underwater vacuum[s] that can collect the spewing oil. Seems if a non-vacuum man like Kevin Costner can invent a vacuum for above water clean up of oil, the US government, oil Corps and a few vacuum companies, if they put their heads together, can vacuum up that oil underwater. What do you think Mike? Any opinion on the vacuums to use for this and the procedures needed? Carmine D.

3 of Costner's vacuums have been deployed to the Gulf and working well. About 30 more to come. On capping the well head, BP says the latest is a cap head that is forced over the gusher with a vacuum seal that will prevent blowback/blowoff. It appears to work similar to the rubber motor bonnet gasket/halo on the old lux 30 motors. Not rocket science. There is no doubt that all can do better to cap the well head and extract the oil from the water a mile under water. No one cares except the locals and they don't have access and wherewithal to the means and money to do the job. Sad. Carmine D.

Are there any online images of Costner's vacuum? I've been looking everywhere but don't seem to find any. More than just the locals should care as there is such a thing as fallout and stuff like this is definitely not guaranteed to stay in one place. However, I guess the fallout factor was in mind when BP was "convinced" to put the 20 billion in escrow. Venson

If i find a good photo, I'll post. I've seen the vacuums in test stage and in usage. They're enclosed in open framed pipe cylinders and located on top of the vessals with inbound and outbound hoses for the oil/water collected and cleaned. Quite simple in design and function, tho Costner spent millions to develop. The unused/new vacuums are stored in Las vegas. $20 Billion is the BP profit for each of the last 3 years of operation. Nice round figure. But no doubt will be more when all is over. Carmine D.
