During the summer of 1985. Rona cruised Over the sea floor on the no a ship researcher and used a variety of methods to look Lor the geysers such As measuring dissolved manganese and measuring Light scattered by minerals suspended in Waler. The shipboard measurements indicated where the geysers were and a Remote video camera was sent Down. In the summer of 19s6, Rona videotaped the geysers irom the special deep dive submarine Alvin which can squeeze in three passengers Tor the two hour trip to the Ocsan floor. The geysers Are two Miles below where the Sun shines where the pressure is 400 times the pressure of air. Once on the Bottom. Alvin s arms like those developed Lor exploration an spaceships reached out and scooped up samples of soil and creatures. Among the samples were the eyeless shrimp but they did t survive Hie pressure changes on the Way up. Organisms brought to the surface need to be put in a Container that simulates their own environment. When Rona a the hundreds of Silver Dollar sized hexagonal shapes photographed around the outer Mound area a thought photographers were playing Darkroom jokes on him. They weren t. By no Ono could identify the shapes. A German Pale oncologist thinks me shapes Are similar  holes left by paleo Dyctum nod Osum. A worm that lived 70 million years ago these appear Rona said to be living  the fossils were carefully placed in a Container that should preserve them but the Container has not yet been opened by scientists at Woods Hole. Ocean floor geysers have changed some theories about the seas. The Ocean is ache Mica soup Rona says. Ii was thought Rivers washed the ingredients in. But it s not just a big Bathtub. Many of the my Redions come from the sea floor  Rona and other scientists Are planning their next trip to the bizarre undersea world sometime in 1989, this just opens up this world Rona says. Now we Havo to understand it the global Impact wac to mini photo misting the air May be Way to provide Relief irom slitting temperatures Tor Southwest desert dwellers. Outdoor air conditioning in steamy Arizona by Sofia Mannos United press International desert dwellers Are scaling the Arizona heal by lowering the temperature of the air outside Al least two companies in Iho Phoenix area where Iho dog Days arrive As Early an april arc using a system almost As simple As a Salt sticker to lower the temperature outdoors by As much As 30 degrees. They re misting the air air conditioning in one form or another has been around for thousands of years the courtyard of an assyrian merchant 5,000 years ago was cooled by slaves spraying Waler in a room below. Kalif Mahdi of Baghdad had his servants pack the Walls with imported Snow that was in 775. In 1987, pools patios and Cabana bars Are being shrouded by a manufactured Mist that is Cooling the air enough Lor visitors and residents to leave air conditioned indoor havens and enjoy the outdoors. The desert Southwest is hot despite promoters assertions that Low humidity off sols searing temperatures. The Mercury in Phoenix reached a record tying 100 degrees on april 17 in mid june it was 115 degrees Tucson is heading Lor a record number of consecutive 100-degree-plus Days. When the temperatures sizzle so reels Are nearly deserted and outdoor entertainment areas abandoned but that no longer has to be Tho Case. Micro miss systems and its competitor Micro Cool of Arizona have been installing their outdoor misling devices in the stale for about a year i like it sad Mike Hendrix. Owner of the Back stage restaurant in scout Dale. Where Micro Cool is refreshing the Patio. It cools the air temperature Down to a reasonable level where you can enjoy sitting outside in the summer when you normally could  Micro Cool and Micro Mist work under a High pressure water system. Regular tap water runs through a pump building the pressure to 600 pounds per Square Inch. Then the water is forced through special sunday August 9, 1987 High pressure piping thai is mounted on stanchions or on the eaves of a building adjacent to the area being cooled. The pipes have Liny nozzles to break up the Waler into a Fine Mist 10 Micron droplets thai evaporates Whon in hits the air. Making a whooshing sound and creating the almost eerie looking Mist i guarantee you there was a 30-degree difference Between this Cabana bar and that parking lot said one guest at the Sunburst hotel which recently ringed its poo with Micro Mist. I just took a Gamble thai it would work in thai open Pool area said Sunburst general manager Allan Brown the guess like in. It s helped business considerably Al this  Micro Cool and Micro Mist Bolh of which assemble their products in Palm Springs Damhave some drawbacks Micro Cool Salesman Dick Goldsberry says the system works Fine As Long As the humidity is Low and the winds Are Calm. High humidity unusual for the desert Southwest will not allow the miss to evaporate. Winds exceeding 10 Mph push the Mist away from the area being cooled. Additionally Micro m St president 8ud Marsh concedes Calcium deposits irom the notoriously hard Phoenix water clog the nozzles. But he says cleaning is a simple process of unscrewing the nozzles scrubbing them with a wire Brush and soaking them in vinegar Lor a couple of Days another consideration is the surrounding Plant life. Some desert plants suffer if exposed to too much moisture created by the Mist. About 60 Micro Cool systems Are in place in commercial and residential facilities in Anzona. While Micro miss has installed about 45, the companies say prices run about $2.700 for Micro Cool on a 10-by-20 ool residential Patio and about $3.500 for Micro miss including an automatic . On a so by 40-fool Patio Goldsberry says Micro Cool uses Aboul 32 Gallons of water an hour Marsh says Micro Mist uses 40 la go Gallons an hour and users pay an average 16 cents an hour for water and electricity to run the Syslo. Which he claims is less than it costs to run an air conditioner. The stars and stripes Page 17
