Galacticsimulations. Blog | Douglas Trumbull - Immersive Media and Visual Effects. Douglas Trumbull has built and photographed a video of a scale model experiment depicting a possible solution to the Deepwater Horizon oil leak, which continues to spew millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Trumbull has been studying all available information regarding the wellhead, blowout preventer, broken riser pipe, and other factors such as flow rate and pressure.

"My team and I have begun to suspect that the current wisdom regarding the pressure of the oil flow is substantially incorrect, and that the flow of oil could be readily captured with a simple “Vacuum Manifold Cap” as depicted in the video," Trumbull said. "Our experiment involved the construction of a saltwater tank, and associated plumbing, pumps, gauges, and flow controls to simulate in miniature what the Deepwater Horizon oil flow looks like at 50,000 barrels per day.
