Ocean – to - Ocean power cell – Part 2 - The cell of Blue city

The energy produced by Ocean - to - Ocean power cell may serve existence of human habitat in shallow and later on in deep waters. This habitat might become the cell of future Blue cities.

The target of Blue cities is to create huge human colonies in Deep Ocean living on and restoring the ocean resources.

Basic features of the cell:

Shape and structure:

A.      Cone body – umbrella type with 10-80 degrees steepness range.

B.      Weights balance: 10% above water/ 90% underwater.

C.      Above and underwater facilities. Protected underwater space.

Size and crew:

A.       Minimum: Deck 200 sq. m. for 6 - 12 people.

B.       Maximum: social related.

Disposition of facilities:

A.      Above water:  The Shell + Sunshine carousel + Wave carousel*, air navigation systems, sails.

B.      Under water: OTEC, hydrolysis, human habitats, labs, stores, underwater navigation systems.

Motion: Pulse motors, sails.

Buoyancy:

A.      Ability to sink (in case of heavy storms or other)

B.      Ability to raise on pontoons (when passing shallow waters or other)

Rescue and repair:

A.      Rescue module

B.       Flexible pontoon system (in help of quick motion, repairs and others)

Sources of energy:  waves, wind, solar, OTEC, H2, bio generators, deep water stream generators**

Storage of energy: H2, batteries, compressed air.

Destination:

A.      Hydrolysis where O2 is for ocean, H2 - for energy.

B.      Reproduction of ocean species/surroundings; food planting.

C.      Desalination based on OTEC - http://www.lockheedmartin.com/products/OTEC/

D.      Human habitat

E.       Lab works

F.       Ability to joint other cells.

*Wave carousel – the consecutive work of units which oppose the waves and consist of buy, spring and piston.

** Deep water stream generator works in deep water streams or by up and down motion based on consecutive negative and positive buoyancy.
