BP Oil Spill Live Feed Update: James Cameron Proposes Help to Stop BP Oil Spill: As time passses by, more and more oil spill solutions surfaced. People all over the world especially in those located nearby Gulf Coast of Mexico are expressing their ideas with their very own creative oil spill solutions to finally contain the BP oil spill which has caused a lot of injuries not only to the marine life but also to the livelihood of thousands of fishermen.
In its latest update, BP used its LMRP or Lower Marine Riser Package to finally contain this oil spill. This will involve a special channeling of the oil leak to a nearby Discoverer Enterprise Drillship that will spew out the oil coming from the oil leak out of the ocean. This complex oil spill solution has never been tried before in depths 5,000 feet under water. We hope that it would be the final oil spill solution that would finally put an end to this BP oil spill. I suppose this is what I saw in the BP oil spill live feed update HERE.
In another BP oil spill update, we have already heard about actors getting on the BP oil spill scene. The first one was Kevin Costner with his million dollar oil separators using centrifugal machines. However, still that did not solve the BP oil spill and the oil leak is continuously spewing into the ocean. Apparently, another known personality by the name of James Cameron proposed another oil spill solution. The famous Avatar director met with some of the officials of Washington DC to talk about his very own oil spill solution proposal. Accordingly, Cameron is thinking about using manned submarines to plug the BP oil leak.
Well, all I can say is I am not sure of such oil spill proposal is viable considering the depth of the BP oil spill. Standby here for more BP oil spill live feed updates. To view some of the proposed oil spill solutions recommended by our visitors, you can to our partner news site HERE.

Instead of focusing on stopping the leak…worry about managing the oil…Lets get it to the surface just the way it wants…in a confined space with tankers waiting to pick it up. instead of a 21 inch pipe over a 20 inch hole….why not a 2000 inch carbon fibre inch flex pipe to the surface to a open funnel top to drop the pressure…surely the core of engineers and a few called in fabricators could build it on the fly…hell we can get 10,000 people across the ocean to fight…why not to work together.
then drop the pipe ever the hole…sit it on the floor around the wellhead and let nature bring it up to us…
Just wondering

…in the mean time, why haven’t we been using the Navy’s many vessels to skim up all the oil off the surface????
Why hasn’t Obama been more of a leader? Is it true that BP contributed 60% of their overall campaign funding to his election?

Glad to see that BP is again “looking into” suggestions by high profile individuals rather than considering grass roots suggestions from the general public. Again, it appears they have not taken into consideration the brittleness of the pipes at depth and in the cold environment nor set up any backup plan to control the 20% increase in flow rate that is going to be started once the pipe is cut at the riser and their next capping attempt fails. Simple devices have been designed using current technology that could have been in place since the first week after the incident and that would have contained up to 80% of the flow. Back then, as now, some efforts should have been and should still be made towards controlling 80% of the flow rather than worrying about 100% in a rather hostile environment. BP made a crucial mistake by not outlining parameters for containment suggestions and, unlike the EPA, continue to waste time and effort while claiming it will likely take months to evaluate 100,000 suggestions, most of which will have no validity at that depth and pressure/temperature.

Shut your face Dr. Do-little. I don’t see you suggesting anything. All you did was give a bunch or percentages that no one cares about. You know what your suggestions are actually worth. DB

I like the idea of making a simple capping assembly with one length of tapered pipe larger than the oil head pipe at the mouth and tapering to the OD of the well head pipe. Install a rubber liner in the tapered section. At the mouth have a large pipe clamp secured and opened larger than the well head piping and large bolts to be tightened to secure the capping unit to the well head piping. On the top of the tapered part, have a mounted ball valve. This wil be in the open position while the capping assembly is lowered over the broken well head pipe – the reason being the roughly 1500 PSI well head pressure will be offset some by the mile high level of sea water but the valve will have to be open to allow the capping assembly unit to be lowered over the well head pipe and let the oil through and not blow it off while the clamping is secured. After the unit
is secured then the ball valve can be slowly closed and stop the flow. The capping unit could have an extension above athe ball valve and another flange so the capping unit could be tapped into and draw out and recover oil from the offshore well at a fuiture point in time.

Oh good. Now we’re taking advice from a film director. Are we that far into the bottom of the barrel.
Jun 3rd
visual a large garden hose make it big enough to fit over the valve at the bottom….clamp the hose to the valve hook the top end to a ship… put a pump hose down to the well head and start pumping… I would check to the tire campany for the making of the tube. … they are experts paking tire tubes.
Jun 3rd
Why not build a pipe 22 inches in diameter to go over the 20 inch pipe. approximately 30 feet long with a hydraulic cap that could be closed after the new pipe is secured to the leaking pipe.
Jun 3rd
This is just another example of capitalistic greed. Once our environment is destroyed on land and sea, it will be too late to find a solution. In the meantime, Obama dithers as usual and BP waits for bankruptcy. Again, no one cares about the “little man”. Only those who have the money have the power and, in the meantime, they will destroy everything around themselves and us trying to preserve their precious bank accounts. We need to return to caveman time when everything was innocent and pure. This sure as hell is dirty and corrupt.
Jun 3rd
well it costing bp millions, and more to come, but we all cant be stupid about it, you cant tell me after all the money they are losing they want to lose the perfectly good well, it obviously not drying up anytime soon, those F#$%@ing Dooshbags want that well back to make up for the lost, but like the guy above I think they should start to contain the oil versus trying to keep the well safe for future use cause we know they still want that oil well, they said that early on, But also like the guy above said, let nature take its course, if we stuff that bastard like a giant potato gun full of c4 or and other agent, blow that fucker to the moon and let nature collapse and seal the hole! Of course bp would never do that cause they want the oil!! DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
Jun 3rd
I just dont get how they can build this thing 5,000 feet under water, and not have a plan for in case this happens? and/or test those plans over and over to make sure they’re fullproof.wtf?
Jun 3rd
I don’t know what the pressure of the oil is coming out of the pipe but I see several possible ways of stopping the oil leaks such as swaging a threaded pipe onto the existing pipe then attach a screw on valve to the threaded protrusion. Then close the valve. Another option would be to weld a plunger valve on the exposed pipe then shut off the valve.
If I knew the pressure of the fluid coming out it might be easier to work on a possible solution.
Each fold in the pipe slows the flow of oil.
Wish that there was a place to make suggestions.

Before anything is done it is approved by the administration. The same administration that took several months of deliberation to increase forces in Afghanistan, six months to pick a dog and has zero experience managing anything. Even his supporters are starting to realize he’s incompetent. So he’s approving everything BP is doing. What a joke! Believe that and I have some ocean front property in Arizona we need to take about. Check out this video that I put together about the oil spill disaster. http://digg.com/d31SqVh

This whole thing is ridiculous!! I do agree with all of your intelligent comments, but Christopher Dores’ post is really “on the ball”.
You know, Chris, your idea(s) are far too in depth and ‘smart’ for anyone in this country to absorb and use. Why is the world such a mixture of DUMB, selfish, ignorant, chodes? None of these so-called “experts” or high
level engineers will ever come up with anything less than absolutely moronic to contain OR clean the oil, at this point, or EVER. Dr. Dennis is rite 100%. The concerned and actual well-aware citizens that are even fairly intellectual, can come up with solutions that billion dollar high profilers won’t or can’t think of or even respond to. We as a nation and a world are hopeless. That’s the only closing statement that makes any kind of sense. Just forget it—hopeless. Anyone who cares isn’t in a position to make a difference, and those who are with pliable resources to do so, are sitting back in their gold plated lounge chairs, sunning in Hawaii, or Ibiza, or Tahiti (wherever it is those a-holes find popular to hang at now)and laughing about how the oil isn’t in “their” ocean. They got clean beautiful waters where they are–they aren’t in the gulf why would it be a concern(?)! No one cares where it matters.No one who “can”clean it up will cause they DON’T care.So with that, I leave you. . . it won’t be cleaned up, it won’t be stopped fully, and when it runs out and the oil eventualy stops, the other gas companies will all thank their stars that they aren’t the ones who lost money, BP will recoup and continue making future money cause people will still buy their gasses, and all us little individuals will be left to wash the birds and sea turtles off, to cart away the poor dead smelly fish, and to loose everything beautiful and close to us where we live–because i live here, and i don’t appreciate not only my poor little sea creatures being tormented and realizing a slow agonizing death, but I also don’t appreciate my friends and family and town being without food, money, or fresh earth to walk on or swim in! How many thousands of ocean hunters (fishermen & such) will loose their careers? What, now we have to ship in EVERY bit of seafood we eat to FL? A state, unlike ANY other that is inside 85% salt water, surrounded?? Sick-SAD. And completely inexcusable. Thank-you. .
***And b-t-w, you can form any opinion as to who is right, wrong, or in between, and it’s obviously not just on company’s fault, but the truth is, to keep buying gasoline from BP is just circulating the problem and contribting more $$$ into their wallets that they need taken away. They should be taught a lesson, and yes, that’s not a huge one, because they WILL still be in business, and they WILL still sell gas and make billions of dollars. . . but it does help to stop patronizing them–even for a while. Tell your friends, and spread the word to the world!!! BP is bad, yes the other ones are all bad too!!! Does that make us hypocrites that we bitch about the gas problems but go buy it anyway?? YES—NO. We live in a world where we CAN’T ride bikes eveywhere, people. We need to buy gas until one day we are allowed to start using alternative fuels (we won’t even get into that). So the truth is, we can’t help it! We can only do so much–so yes, we will buy gas, but please let it be from another fuel station. BP= Bad People!!!!!We can’t sit around all day and complain but we can do even the smallest of things to show that this situation really matters to us. . .hey, the world is screwed up–bad, and it’s easy to say: “forget it” back to it.Wouldn’t it be okay to just make one little change and maybe with that little bit from many persons, BP will feel even the smallest of pinches from the population, and realize they messed up and we are not going to just say: “forget it” with everything, and that we are going to sometimes TAKE A STAND, and just hope that it does something–something good. Something. . .. anything, to help this blasphemous situation. . . something. I hope it does. I hope, you will join me in driving past BP for a while or for always, and going an extra two blocks to the other station. . the one that might be a penny more a gallon, or the one that migt not have your carmel, mocha Latte inside. One sacrifice, no matter how small, will change someting–even if nobody else notices. Please make a “small” change to benfit something or someone out there who needs help. If you have the ability—then, why wouldn’t you????????

Reference this amazing video http://www.youtube.com/user/cureusall
There is no doubt that America has the greatest innovators in the world but
the government has hired the dumbest technicians that refuse to adapt. The
Florida beaches could have been saved with hay. We have 11 carrier groups
sitting around drinking coffee and swapping tall tales. They could have ordered
the 4th fleet into the gulf and captured all the oil in the first week using hay,
hair, and sawgrass. Instead our elected politicians allowed BP to become a
terrorist creating giant oil plumes that are death traps to any living thing
that comes into contact with these plumes (oil particles mixed with chemical
dispersant that are suspended up to 400 feet below the water surface).
I feel sorry for Florida, Louisana, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Mexico. The
BP terrorist has attacked you all and now the oil plumes (underwater death clouds) will strike all of you.
For the East Coast, it is too late now because the gulf stream will tow these
oil plumes right up the East Coast. Enjoy the oil plumes all you East Coast residents. Your seafood will taste a little oily for the next year. They claim that chemical dispersant spices the food up a bit.
Of course BP terrorists have not given up and if their next attempt collapses the floor at the spill site then the 65 BILLION barrel well located 30,000 feet deep will gush into the gulf of Mexico all at once. Just in time for hurricane season. Sploosh!!!!!!!! Arrrghhhhhh!!!!!!!! Glub…Glub…Glubbbb!!!!!!

Perhaps if James Cameron is allowed to go down there, he can film it in 3D? That way, when we see it at the theater, we can get the full scope. Maybe while people watch, the movie house can pour out a bunch of slime all over the audience as a form of sense-surround effect?
Seriously though, it will probably take more than one hose to really do any serious oil recoup stuff. What they essentially did was to drill into the devil’s ass, where he blew out a big one, thus causing all their machines to backfire. It’s not going to be as easy as anyone can imagine.
Meanwhile, people are screaming to get the illegals out of the USA (Arizona and such) when we got scores of illegal (not including BP which has gone above their 74 million dollar duty) companies doing dirty business in the GULF OF THE WETBACKS! Go figure.

By the way, a manned submarine or two is what has been needed from the beginning! Hopefully, the Avatar man will come through somehow, which would be ironic, considering that avatar type robots have not worked?
Now that ol’ saw blade got stuck. Hopefully, they did not hit an oil deposit, on top of an asphalt volcano, which is unique to the Gulf of Mexico.

My idea is called the “Top Hat” crypt. Cut away the damaged riser tube (no need to touch any other part of the BOP) and lower a cylinder big enough to cover the entire BOP. The cylinder will be fitted on top with a “top hat”or cap. The bottom of this cylinder is solid with a rubber type o-ring in the center that is a bit smaller than the BOP. This Top Hat assy should be weighed down with anchors heavy enough to counter any upward forces from the leaking oil. Here’s the important part: The cylinder should have “mesh” type openings near the bottom sides; this mesh will allow a temporary flow of oil and water to leave the Top Hat assy as drilling mud, then cement is poured into the top hat after it is lowered over the BOP. As the weight of the mud and cement begin to force water and oil out of the lower meshed openings, the mesh assemblies themselves will eventually clog up with mud and cement, ceiling the top hat and then allowing the cement to dry and form a “Top Hat” crypt that will encase the BOP from the outside, not the inside- that’s the key here! From the outside of the BOP!

a thought. is there a way to possably build a type of self tapping screw to be threaded into the pipe after it is cut. with a kwick coupler end on it to be later hooked up to a pipe for proper drainage of oil in a safer way. a good sealing compound on the threads of the screw that will work quick at the colder temps. will be required.

ALL,
the down hole pressure dissipates into the ocean once it hits the leak point at the ocean floor. Hooking up a hose would not allow the expansion and there fore you would have a gusher at the surface ( this is what happen to the rig in the first place ). Please recall this well is still out of control so a “hose” to the surface means another explosion… want that? OK now if we open the flow to the ocean to dissipate the pressure there and then attempt to collect then we get hydrates ( ice crystals that plug the pipe in everyday English ) Problem is not as simple as you guys think. The people working on this are scientist and they are considering options that do not cause irreversible destruction of the infrastructure, e.g. if we try to blow it up and it does not work then we have a big crater so now what do we do ??? see no option b because the infrastructure was destroyed applying option a. I do not stand on bp’s side as I consider this a real problem but the people trying to resolve this problem are scientist and ARE NOT PLAYING POLITICS AT ALL. They systematically applying the most feasible options that do not eliminate the possibility of other options if the current one fails.
A last thought for all of us and this is my $0.02. Financial benefit comes with risk, the assumption of risk comes with liability. We benefit from bp pumping oil via royalties, taxes, wages, and energy. BP is responsible for this but we must also assume some liability as we have all benefit from their work and cannot simply point the finger. Remember if we think they are all criminals and condone them we will not have royalties, taxes, wages, and energy. I hate what is happening and I hate how we are having to learn this lesson but and anecdote would be to PLEASE DO NOT CLOSE NASA BECAUSE THE BLEW THE SHUTTLE without considering all that NASA has given us.

make a valved tube to the surface, if the pipeline is 20″ make the valved tube 30″. at the pipeline end of the tube put a neopreme or rubber sleeve 15″ much like a divers dry suit neck dame, and force it down on to the brocken riser. Temp repair but at least it would give time to think productevly, instead of in a panic.

Procedure: 1. Unbolt existing flange and old pipe exposing old clean flange with bolt holes ready to be attach too. 2. Fabricate newer LMRP (with integrated remotely operated hydraulically controlled Pressure bypass valve that is fully installed/part of/ or welded to LMRP at a 20 Degree angle outward from main pipe) leave bypass Valve full open at installation to allow pressure to bypass out while installing LMRP Assembly and flange with attached riser pipe to oil pumping container vessel topside. 3. After LMRP’s new flange is tightened, then the remotely operated hydraulically controlled bypass valve can be closed and oil can then be pumped to the surface vessel via pre attached riser piping. DONE!

Or for a simple, cheap, effective, just puncture the line above the leak, lead a new line up, reduce the pressure by rerouting it, then cap off the leaking end of the punctured tube.

However this oil spill is in 5000 feet of water, not an easy solution, to this disaster.

Anyone think of using subsea magnets to cap it off?

Apologies for the simplistic approach but feed a balloon pipe down the hole and then inflate. Also, rather than drilling a new hole, drill a shorter diagonal hole to the existing hole.

Thhis problem of the oil leak could have been solved within day’s if you could get someone to listen to pure lodgic.A simple sleve could have been placed around the leaking oil to direct the oil to the surface under it’s own pressure and simply pumped off.One must rember that the so called experts are being paid a a small fortune to solve this problem and when it solved they are all out of work again.Why hurry its a cash cow.

I will replace the upper flange of the well with a new flange, bolted into place, with a suitable pipe and valve to stop the leak. Whatever you do, stop trying to cut those stainless steel bolts. The casing can be reconstructed from there and the leak will be stopped. I could finish is as littel as 2 days. You provide me the supplies, and I will guarantee success or you don’t pay me. Terms are negotiable, but let’s get started today. We can work at depths of 5,000 feet.

I am a mechanical engineer, and it seems that the obvious is being over looked as usual. You cant cap this pipe, but you can plug it with a long tube of steel 25 plus feet with a 4 inch lip near the top of this solid steel tube to stop the tube from falling in, and a 1 inch thick piece of rubber on the bottom side of the lip to make the lip seat nicely to the pipe. The sheer weight of the steel should plug this, if not tow it back to the surface with the cable that delivered it. The steel would have to be tapered so it can easily fits into the pipe and becomes snug as it reaches the lip just 5 feet from the top of the tube. The tapered shape is also to prevent the steel insert from being pushed away by the pressure of the oil. This is low tech, and a quick build, and I bet this fixes it. This to me is physics 101, because the pipe is going to be out of shape due to the way its being cut, and the steel tube will bring it back to a cylindrical shape as it forces it way into the pipe.
Thx George

lydia I believe there are over 1700 vessels working on the oil spill. Maybe you can name the vessels in the navy that you also want deployed.
Jun 3rd
Why dont all BP’s executives hang them selves that would be a start in the right direction!!!
Jun 3rd
Instead of using sharp shears,why not use blunt ones and crush the pipe together to form a seal? Rather like crimping.
What is the dia. and wall thickness of the pipe??
Is there any possibility of flame or Plazma cutting the pipe?
Jun 3rd
If the diamond wire cutter/saw blade was partially successful,is it not worth another attempt……….this time,from the other side of the pipe??
Can the cut be made as a “V” just like cutting down a tree,so the blade is less likely to become jammed.
The problem is,we are not getting enough detail!
Is the leak coming from a crack in the pipe at the point where it is bent over OR is it also coming from the the open end of the pipe that is laying on the sea bed??

The oil is coming up from 4 miles down. It is HOT down there, and the oil is probably 150-200 degrees F. When it hits the 42 degree water, all sorts of reactions occur. The methane immediately forms a hydrate because of the water pressure (2000 psi), and the various hydrocarbons condense out. Keep in mind crude oil is not just one oil, it is everything from methane (C4, one carbon) all the way up to heavy tars (C40 and up). The lighter oils float to the top, many find a level in the water depending on their density and stay there. Thus, the entire water column is polluted, not just the surface. That’s why they are finding oil plumes in the water 20 miles in diameter all the way from the bottom to the surface.
No one knows how to clean this up. The surface can be cleaned, but that does nothing about the underwater oil, which is deadly to anything that swims into it. There are already dead zones; if this continues till August, the entire Gulf of Mexico may die.
Jun 3rd
George, your solution would only work if it were a straight, unobstructed pipe. BP has already said there is a 5 inch drill pipe in the way, that’s what jammed the diamond saw, and the rams in the BOP have partially deployed.

You people bashing Obama are idiots and morons. Obama is not in the oil business. The gov. is not in the oil business. The same people that were screaming about less gov. regulation, smaller gov. and gov. interference in businesses are now screaming for bigger gov, more gov. interference in business and more regulation. The oil spill is just one example of unregulated business, and perfectly illustrates the need for gov. regulation of free enterprise. The FDA regulates what food companies put in food, and what they tell us is in our food. They also regulate drugs so they don’t experiment on us like they do in Africa. Insurance companies are also regulated, because the free market system incentivizes them to provide as crappy a product as possible. While a free market works well in a pre-industrial society, today it is a failure for many reasons.

What George proposed should work – low tech but will stop leak.

Mark says it best. For those who are opposed to the long and over-reaching arm of the government. this is the result. I think a nice vacation in Somalia where there are NO taxes, no central government, no health care and No gun control would be a paradise for the libertarian and conservative Obama bashers, Dick Cheney set this all up amd wtill won’t release the meeting notes, so cut it out, the truth of the oil companies domination is in records that Cheney won’t release…quit blaming Obama…and cut the “act of god” vocabulary and understand that this is driven by a very small very elite group of oilmen…why do you think BP is filing their legal papers in a court in Houston???????The definition of an activist judge is one that makes a decision you don’t like….well the SE Judges will rule in favor of BP and we will get more of the same and you can go ahead and blame Obama but this has been in the works for years…..

May, 2010 was a very fast pace month. We had the Democrat Kabuki act of SEC vs. Goldman; the worlds greatest fraud where no one gives back the money or goes to jail.
Next, the President and the Democrats blocked the full auditing of the Federal Reserve. It was no accident that the terrorist stock market crash on May 7 Th was a command performance to threaten Senators.
Than, there is the issue of financial reform; this time, it’s the Republicans who are blocking reform. The oil terrorist attack was also not by accident, and is designed to bankrupt the US and be a distraction from reform and to show the President and Congress who is boss.
The NWO transition President is doing great and the propagandized American people are as dumb as ever with the IQ of a TV set. The overthrow of the US government into the New World Order is right on schedule.
The oil flow could have been stopped a month ago with pile driving technology simply by lowering a larger pipe over the wellhead and driving the pile 200 feet into the seafloor sealing the wellhead and the burst bore hole permanently. BP fiddles and pretends to stop the flow of oil while salvaging oil and the propagandizing media is complicit. The Nanny is drowning the baby in the bath tub and everyone is helpless to stop them.
All of you anti-American, stupid bastards who were behind Greed, Oil Wars, Multinational Corporations, deregulation, Globalization and “Free (sic) Trade” are the ones to blame. You see, we are the shit bags that the rest of the world sees us as; it is not just our government. It is the ignorant, brainwashed, apathetic Americans who made for their own demise and now we are faced with a hundred year revolution; Americans really don’t deserve any better.

BP, Obama and the DOE could stop the oil flow permanently tomorrow with deep water pile driving technology if they wanted to; they are more interested in propaganda, genocide and the New World Order.
One of the quick and best ways is to lower a 4 ft. in diameter pipe over the wellhead and drive the pile down 200 ft. into the sea floor sealing the wellhead and bore hole. The pipe is then sealed from the surface with cement and the pipe is cut off far below the surface. It would take 83 sections of welded 60’ pipe and 80 valves to get to 5,000 feet in depth.
Fluid dynamics is one of my favorite subjects so let us revisit Atmospheric Pressure and Hydrostatic Pressure which are the key components in this particular deep water problem.
Deep water Hydrostatic science is something that the DOE and Big Oil do not want people to know about because it is the greatest renewable energy resource on earth- and it’s free. Think of the ocean as a large pressure container, the deeper you go, the more pressure there is. At 5,000 feet below the water surface (147 Atmospheres) the pressure is 2,161 lbs. per. Sq. inch. On the surface there is only 14.7 lbs per sq in of pressure. The weight of a column of water in a pipe reaching to the bottom is neutral until it reaches the surface. How high the column of water will rise above the surface in the pipe and how much pressure the water will have; is the difference in pressure minus the weight of the water ABOVE the surface in the column. The high volume and pressure of the water coming out of the pipe is free renewable energy in the form of hydro-electric power. This energy can also be used to suck up and separate spilled oil in the water at great depth. Not much use for an oil man and big bankers but a great source of free renewable energy for Humanity.
Here are two simple experiments that anyone can perform to prove and demonstrate Hydrostatic Energy and the neutrality of the weight of water in a column of water below the surface.
The hydrostatic pressure concept can be demonstrated with a small milk carton and two straws. Fill the carton up with water (or half way) and seal it with duct tape. One straw is inserted and sealed with duct tape to provide pressure. The other straw is lowered anywhere that the straw is under water and the hole in the carton is sealed. As we blow on the straw, we pressurize the vessel and the water will rise in the other straw because the end of the straw is open to the outer atmosphere and at lower pressure. The water in the straw was neutral until the vessel was pressurized. The same is true if we lower a pipe down into the layers of pressure in the ocean; the water will rise in the pipe because the open top pressure of the pipe is lower than the pressure at the open bottom end. The volume of water in the pipe has a neutral weight as it is the same weight as the outside water until it reaches the surface. The height and pressure that the water will rise above the surface in the pipe is determined by the difference between the bottom atmospheric pressure and the top atmospheric pressure minus the weight of the water in the pipe above the surface.
The weight neutrality of water, in water, can be demonstrated with a bucket of water. On the surface the bucket of water has weight but as we lower the bucket of water below the surface; the bucket will float away because the weight of water in the bucket is the same as the surrounding water and has weight only when it rises above the surface.

This article summarizes the differences between conventional and government loans for first-time buyers, homeowners searching for mortgage refinancing, and those looking to spend on equity for loan consolidation, debt consolidation reduction or do it yourself through hel-home equity loans (second mortgages).
