I can plug oil leak, says NY genius toby armstrong
Posted by: sitfu.com // Category: News


BP’s engineers can’t stop the gushing oil spill, but a young genius from Long Island says she found the solution in less time than it takes most people to finish a crossword puzzle.

Since the “top kill,” “junk shot” and “top hat” techniques failed to end the environmental nightmare, Alia Sabur — who started her engineering Ph.D. at age 14 — is pushing for a more radical idea.

The Northport native, who started reading before she could walk and who at 18 broke a 300-year-old record to become the youngest-ever college professor, proposes surrounding a pipe with deflated automobile tires, inserting it into the leaking riser, and then inflating the wheels to form a seal.
