Large Scale Solar Sintering Of Sand

SOLAR-POWERED STRUCTURAL PRINTING USING IN SITU DESERT SAND

PURPOSE

Barren desert landscapes are difficult venues for construction due to low water supply, elevated temperatures, lack of a stable building foundation, and accessibility issues.

A low-cost, self-sustaining, solar-powered system is proposed, which automates large-scale 3D printing of roads and other structures, transforming sand, in situ,

Live Underground Cable Test

Since the early 1950s electric utilities have installed millions of miles of low-voltage underground cables to improve the reliability and resilience of secondary power distribution. Early cable technology included butyl rubber insulated conductors and paper insulated lead coated cables. Over the decades,

Low-Head Positive-Displacement Hydro-Generation

There are about 60,000 MW of undeveloped hydro power in the US today (HR-267) and there are similar circumstances throughout the World. Any turbine under 10 meters of head or less than 10 m3/sec of water flow is so inefficient that they are not cost effective. Also, Western drought conditions have reduced historical hydro electrical production by 10%.

Multi-Purpose Desalination (MPD)

Multi-Purpose Desalination (MPD) is proposed to perform sea water desalination, while generates electricity and produces salt/minerals as a by-product using wave power.

MPD uses 100% ocean wave power, requires no electricity (Fig. 1).

Main facilities are located in the tidal area, that minimizes under water construction, and also operational and maintenance costs.

Mype - Expand Urban Space Through An Interface Design

Urban space were divided by several main streets. When the city grows, locations around the main streets would be preferred, and the rest "back streets" became deserted. Because nobody wants to lose the direct access to the commute route, not for the residency or commercial. Or, because we don't have the power yet.

In a few years,
