Environmental Absorbent Products - Dyn-O-Mat

I heard about this on MSNBC the other day. They have an interesting product. It is a substance (powder) that absorbs water and clumps up into a solid almost instantly. Stir it a little and it immediately turns to an almost gel-like consistency. They are experimenting with using this as a storm pacifier. The plan is to fly over a brewing storm (think Ivan or Frances) and sprinkle this powder over it. The moisture will clump up and fall into the ocean below harmlessly and dissolve away and take away the punch of the storm.
