Each of the seven scientists/inventors and their theories are profiled in turn, and “tested” against a hurricane using computer-generated animation and graphics. There is Ross Hoffman, of Atmospheric and Environmental Research, who believes that zapping the top of a hurricane with solar panels in space will cause it to change course. Russian Meteorologist Vladamir Pudov wants to weaken hurricanes with a surface film on the ocean that will minimize the evaporation that feeds the monsters. Phil Kithil, an inventor of remote-sensing devices, demonstrates his prototype oceangoing-pump designed to neutralize hurricanes by bringing cold water from the depths to the surface. Meteorologist William Gray, the world’s most famous hurricane expert, proposes burning petroleum on barges in the path of hurricanes to slow them down. 15-year-old Jason Stanton, Tulsa’s top science fair award-winner, devised a concept that would cool the ocean’s surface in the path of oncoming hurricanes by using liquid nitrogen. Joe Golden has flown dozens of hurricane seeding flights probing the effects of seeding hurricanes with silver iodide in the hope of spurring convection of hurricane eye-walls and diminishing their force. And Robert Dickerson, a senior weapons researcher with a strong track record in laser design, thinks it might be possible to alter the dynamics of hurricanes by providing ionized pathways for discharge of electrical charges on one side or the other of hurricanes using vertically launched ion exhaust rocketry or by high intensity laser pulses.
What about the wind getting sucked toward the fans from the other side? 
And here, I thought it would at least require Bruce Willis to work.
