:14:01
It's Bill's concept.
:14:03
The Extreme. It came from his brain.
:14:06
I had a hand in it.
:14:08
It is great.
:14:11
What is it?
:14:13
It's an instrument pack for studying
tornados. First one in history.
:14:17
It's very exciting.
:14:18
Scientists have studied
tornados forever...
:14:21
...but nobody knows
how a tornado works.
:14:24
We don't know what happens inside...
:14:26
...because nobody can take
measurements inside the funnel.
:14:30
That's what she's going to do.
:14:33
How?
:14:34
We put her up inside a tornado.
:14:37
She opens...
:14:41
...and releases hundreds
of these sensors...
:14:44
...that measure all parts of
the tornado simultaneously.
:14:48
You see, it's like this:
:14:51
These sensors go up the funnel
and radio back information...
:14:54
...about the internal structure,
wind velocities....
:14:58
We'll learn more in 30 seconds
than in the last 30 years.
:15:01
Get a profile for the first time.
:15:03
What will that do?
:15:05
If we know how tornados work,
we can design a warning system.
:15:09
Aren't there warnings already?
:15:11
-The civil defence--
-They're not good enough.
:15:14
Right now it's 3 minutes.
:15:15
If we can get this information,
we can increase it to 15.
:15:19
Give people a chance to get to safety.
:15:22
That's what they're trying to do.
:15:30
I can't believe you did it.
:15:32
Well, we did it.
:15:36
How do you get it in?
:15:40
You get in front of it and
put it in the damage path.
:15:43
And then get out again quickly.
:15:45
That's the suck zone.
:15:48
Excellent! We got major action!
:15:50
N.S.S.L. says the cap is breaking,
towers are going up 30 miles.
:15:59
Let's go.
