It is beyond the capabilities of humans, and will remain so for a long time. The energy required to force the following to occur in nature would be unimaginable.

Here's what you need to generate a tropical cyclone (the generic term for hurricane/typhoon):

1. Warm ocean waters (of at least 26.5°C [80°F]) throughout a sufficient depth (unknown how deep, but at least on the order of 50 m [150 ft]). Warm waters are necessary to fuel the heat engine of the tropical cyclone.

2. An atmosphere which cools fast enough with height such that it is potentially unstable to moist convection. It is the thunderstorm activity which allows the heat stored in the ocean waters to be liberated for the tropical cyclone development.

3. Relatively moist layers near the mid-troposphere (5 km [3 mi]). Dry mid levels are not conducive for allowing the continuing development of widespread thunderstorm activity.

4. Low values (less than about 10 m/s [20 kts 23 mph]) of vertical wind shear between the surface and the upper troposphere. Vertical wind shear is the magnitude of wind change with height. Large values of vertical wind shear disrupt the incipient tropical cyclone and can prevent genesis, or, if a tropical cyclone has already formed, large vertical shear can weaken or destroy the tropical cyclone by interfering with the organization of deep convection around the cyclone center.

5. A pre-existing near-surface disturbance with sufficient vorticity and convergence. Tropical cyclones cannot be generated spontaneously. To develop, they require a weakly organized system with sizable spin and low level inflow.

6. A minimum distance of at least 500 km [300 mi] from the equator. For tropical cyclogenesis to occur, there is a requirement for non-negligible amounts of the Coriolis force to provide for near gradient wind balance to occur. Without the Coriolis force, the low pressure of the disturbance cannot be maintained.

Unless we have a 30 ft. fan and some debris, it's definitely impossible to create a Hurricane/Typhoon in real-life.

Humans cant make hurricanes........They make hurricanes by Warm waters low wind shear and high humidity when this do that it forms a thuderstorm then a tropical wave then a depression then a storm witch is now given a name and then a hurricane..

The hurricane's death

Hurricane dies out when it makes landfall \, high wind shear, low humidity or cold waters.

Butterfly Effect...Chaos Theory

We use a certain amount of energy doing something, that in turn causes something else to happen with even more energy. Eventualy one of things that could result I guess could be a hurricane.

Trying to create one directly is next to impossible. We do not have enough energy to heat up such a large portion of the ocean and to cool the air while simultaneously rotating it.
