In case my better half thinks that the cupcake/3D design is only for fun/evil, as well as an inherent desire to change the world, here is a design suggestion I submitted to BP for evaluation in sealing the fractured pipe.

I know that some/many of the most creative minds in the world are on Thingiverse, and I am hoping/urging the other operators to spend some time looking at how to seal the pipe and save a lot of carbon-based lifeforms.

BP is taking recommendations at: horizonedocs.com/artform.php

What's this?

Instructions

The attached PDF file describes the mechanism.

1. The white block is for you to select the sealing plates and rotate them against.
2. The scale of the design was intentionally large (1000mm). Do not try to print the parts inside!

Let us do something about this!
