AFIF ABOU-RAPHAEL on July 14, 2010 - 12:15am From: Inventor Afif Abou-Raphael I am very happy that finally BP and the US Coast Guard have decided to use my proposition to stop the spill after more than a month and a half since I first contacted both, and after I had sent them all the details like drawings and explanations. One e-mail I had sent in the beginning to the White House through their published e-mail address, and there I could not send any drawings. Only thing I did send them was a brief detailed proposition with the site of my patent brevets-patents.ic.gc.ca. which is the solution for this kind of disaster. The White House didn’t even bother with my e-mail and I didn’t receive any answer. That was around mid May. After I had called BP and I had sent them by e-mail mostly everything they needed to understand what needed to be done to completely stop the spill. After not receiving any answer from BP, I decided to contact The American Coast Guard USCG. Explicit details and drawings were sent to them, with calculations of the weight that is needed to keep the plug in place. The plug is exactly what BP is using now to stop the spill. I am wondering; why didn’t they use it when I sent it to them and before that big spill grew to be a disaster that will stay for many years to come. My other big surprise is; when the President of BP was questioned at the House of Representatives directly on TV. I called, and spoke to a secretary present during the questioning, and asked her to transfer me to a any state representative who is questioning the BP’s president in order to ask him why BP is not trying my effective proposition, when they were talking to stop the spill in August. The secretary said that she can’t do it. Then she was supposed to send me an e-mail address where they can look at my proposal carefully. The result is the secretary didn’t send me anything. Now I am surprised and happy at the same time to see my idea is what is being used to stop the disaster, but after more than one and half month of oil flowing into the ocean (they say about 100000 barrels a day). I am expecting at least a thankful letter from the Coast Guard and from BP.
