Imagine a factory of 1,200 employees making 5,000 geodesic domes an
hour 24/7

Each dome self erects with a foam stablized pressurant - similar to
air but more stable since the foam maintains pressure even when the
gas leaks out.

Each triangular tile is 20 incheslong - and contains a low cost solar
collector. The house covers 12,000 square feet, even though its
folded into a container that fits in the back of a mini-van - 8,000
sf is a greenhouse - pre-seeded - and 4,000 sf is living space.

The house is pwered by a collection of regenerative fuel cells
recharged by the solar panels built into the large dome.

In the 1950s Buckminster Fuller delivered geodesic domes by
helicopter. In 2008 we go one better - we use a GPS guided 'flying
saucer' that delivers the house anywhere in the world.

Flying saucer? Yep, one powered by sunlight.

The saucer is a lightweight GPS guided vehicle similar to many GPS
guided aircraft already in service - made with a propulsive skin.

Propulsive skin?

Yep, an array of tiny 'dots' that are computer controlled. Tiny dots
that happen to be rocket engines.

So think of a HDTV plasma screen - with the plasma dots producing jets
of plasma powerful enough to lift the screen.

That is, the surface of the vehicle possesses millions of tiny
electrically driven jets all under computer control, powered by the
regenerative fuel cells on board.

http://clifton.mech.northwestern.edu/~me381/project/02fall/Microrockets.pdf
http://www.st.northropgrumman.com/capabilities/space/propulsion/technologies/micropropulsion.html

The aircraft can fly with its payload of a folded up house - anywhere
in the world, land, and erect the house. The new owners have a house
that's self powered, extracts water from the air, has a refrigerator,
lighting, heating and airconditioning (all MEMs based) all built in -

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7263838.html

as well as wireless internet a computing platform, projection TV,
communication handsets, and basically everything one needs for a good
life in the 21st century.

Including furniture

http://www.bubblefurniture.com/flocked_chair.html

All for about $10,000 -

Since the house has a flying saucer, I also want to say it has a tele-
operated robot.

Robot?

Yep. remotelly operated by a driver. What's the use of that?
People can report to work instantly over the internet. You need a
cop quick? or a doctor? or a teacher? or a cook? or a
seamstress? or a helper? or you name it? Google it up on the
internet, enable the bometric transfer protocol - and the URL of your
robot - and bam! You're golden.

You pay for the time and attention of the people, bt organizing them
is a cinch. Also, you can report to work the same way! So, you can
live anywhere. And work anywhere else.

The robots are similar to this one;

http://world.honda.com/ASIMO/

The problem of robots is solved - except for software. But broadband
and telepresence answers that.

Except instead of being powered by batteries, its powered of course -
by the same regenerative fuel cell system that powers the house and
saucer. It also uses the wireless internet from space to receive
signals from 'drivers' arriving from anywhere.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telepresence
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telerobotics

Except this robot isn't made from solenoids electric motors and
metal. Its made from polyacrylamide gel with electrodes molded in
place.

http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-60598300.html
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5389222.html

The robots are so cheap to make out of this stuff (they use
polyacrylates to make disposable contact lenses for chickens so they
don't see red and peck at each other) and so reliable and moldable -
that the house comes with two robots. The robots are driven by
drivers - which can link in via the broadband wireless. The folks
who own the house can use the telepresence suite to drive the robots -
and also to drive any robot anywhere. This is a great boon. It
means anyone can work anywhere and live anywhere else.

The house also has a stove, an oven,along with the refrigerator,hot
water heater, etc., etc., all in a MEMs based module that is
surprisingly compact and cheap and very capable and reliable and so
forth. Toilet, sinks, water lines - all molded in place.

When it arrives a setup team makes sure the installation and erection
is done flawlessly. Then a training team is 'sent' - and helps the
new owners make use of all the features of the house, including
operating telerobotic systems. The owners if they wish, may be
tested and trained and entered into a worker availability database -
and sent to work anywhere in the world they're needed - to the highest
bidder.

That makes credit to buy these houses easy to get.

The DLP projection TV also has a motion capture camera and a few other
niceties that allow up to two people to drive these robots by remote
control.

So a house with its flying saucer - and a host of smaller 'package
delivery ' saucers for pick up and delivery of stuff ordered over the
internet - all solar powered - with regenerative fuel cells.

So,that's it - a factory of 1,200 (with 1,080 reporting to work
telerobotically) producing 5,000 of these systems per hour - 120,000
per day - 43 million per year - housing 200 million per year - 1
billion in five years!

Five such factories provide homes for nearly everyone in the market
for a home or a second home. The 1 billion people who would be buying
a second home are charged enough so that credit may be subsidized by
the company - think GMAC - to sell more homes to others on credit -
paid for by the teleoperated robots.

1 billion robot sales - to the 1 billion high income folks in the
world, provide the bulk of the employment. Another 1 billion new
workers in teleoperated factories provide a vast expansion of consumer
goods worldwide -

folding second house stuff sounds like science fiction. Considering
the number of people on this planet with barely enough food to eat, a
billion plastic second homes doesn't sound like a great use of
resources.

Aren't we going to need an awful lot of oil if 1 billion people buy
giant fold up plastic second houses?

Well, a ton of oil occupies approximately 7.3 barrels of volume at
typical densities. The houses I've designed are basically my solar
panels hinghed together in a geodesic form - stabilized by air
pressure - then we hit on the idea of using foam to apply internal
pressure to the structural elements. 12,000 square feet is about
1,114 square meters. Total thickness of the PET is about 1 mm per
square foot of floor area (1 story structures throughout) film
thickness ranges from 5 microns to 250 microns depending on details.
Films are also vacuum coated with aluminum a few microns thick which
also varies according to purpose. There are aluminum stiffeners
molded in place as well. Look at framing for a tile ceiling and
you'll get an idea of the strength and weight possible Air ducts,
water lines, power lines are all molded in place and formed by press
molding the sheets with minimal objects in place. By far the most
dominant factor is PET - polyethylene terpthalate which is highly
transparent, and takes a coating of aluminum en-vacuo to create a
highly controllable window. With water cells bonded between two thin
sheets - lenses are formed as described in my patents on the subject,
but also, soundproofing, compressive strength, and fireproofing are
achieved at very low cost (as well as fresh water storage)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene_terephthalate

12,000 sq ft (1,114 sq meters) x 1 mm thickness is a total volume of
1.14 cubic meters of material. At 1.37 metric ton per cubic
meter this is a total weight of 1.52 metric tons. Add in another 0.4
metric tons of aluminum, and anotehr 0.08 metric tons of other
materials - for a total weight of 2.00 metric tons - design weight.

2 billion tons of PET over a 10 year period constitutes only a small
portion of the world's total production of the plastic. 400 million
tons of aluminum over a similar period is a similarly small portion of
the world's total production of that metal. Compared to the 53
billion tons of solar and coal derived sunfuels made over the same
period - it is as nothing.

A preliminary analysis of the critical factors in this program
indicates that germanium, not hydro-carbons is the limiting factor -

I agree it is more speculatibve, but based realize it is based on real
R&D I've done with real hardware. This is something I will do once I
have 42 coal-to-liquid plants operational. Even though it sounds
like science fiction, the pointers I gave show that it is not. The
propulsion technology as well as the robotic technology and the low-
cost powerful actuator technology all exist today. The critical
factor is to reduce the costs of each.

a
billion plastic second homes doesn't sound like a great use of
resources.-

The home I envision has the capacity to deliver not only a place to
stay, but also a meal, and a job to anyone anywhere - and kick start
economic development of the world's poorest people.

Sociological studies I have supported indicate that a safe, quiet
place to live without torturous interference of overlords and whatnot,
with two or three nutritious meals a day, education channel for the
kids, and a job for the parents, provides a way to raise a family
which is all most people want. It really is the most valued thing on
the planet. Radicalism stems from broken dreams. This provides hope
to dream again - and anyone who could provide that to people in need -
would have tremendous political and economic power going forward.

I'll leave the politics to others, but the economics look favorable.
Add to this mix the possibility of delivering medical treatment
telerobotically, and medicines via package delivery 'saucers' - and
you can see the huge impact this would have to the 3.3 billion poorest
of us - and reap huge rewards as these people became more
productive.

1 billion people working 60 hours per week - gladly working 60 hours
per week - telerobotically - generates 3.1 trillion man-hours of
labor per year. This is more hours than all the rest of us combined.

The value of those hours is tremendous. Typical industrial workers
world wide generate $330 per hour in products. Service workers
generate $50 per hour at the low end.

At $20 per hour average - this additional labor doubles the total
wealth on Earth, while costing an added 20% - that is, people making
$2 per day currently - offered $4 per hour - enough to buy the homes
and other appliances we're discussing - on credit - represent a huge
opportunity for everyone - so, it will happen.

At $10,000 per installation - which is what things cost in these
quantities - we're talking $10 trillion - needed to provide for this
installation. Another $20 trillion is needed for the industrial
equipment, to support the scale of labor discussed here. This will
occur over a 10 year period.

The world's 9.5 million millionaires control nearly $40 trillion in
liquid wealth. Selling the 20% of the high-end of this market for
cash, at a higher than average price - as second homes - provides the
cash needed to fund factory conversoins and is the starting point to
solving the world's food and housing and work problems privately.

Once cash begins to flow, then service workers to drive the robots for
these high end folks - to provide personal services - cooking,
cleaning, maintenance, emergency services, etc., provides the next
step. Selling homes to these workers is the next step. Then
arranging credit, borrowing money against the $40 trilliion in assets
through appropriate financial instruments, provides a means over 10
years to install the global system I describe here.

10 years after I complete my 42 coal-to-liquid faciltieis - 20 years
from today - may sound like a long time, but its a plan I that will
work, and I note that despite trillions spent by governments over the
past 50 years - little has been done to help the poorest of us become
productive - and in fact in many ways things have gotten worse. So,
while you can complain all you want about me selling second homes to
the 'rich' - I have nothing to apologize for - this pays for the
conversion of my solar panel plants to housing, and once that's in
place, I will leverage that capability to delver a home, a seeded
greenhouse, along with communications, education, job services,
transport, to anyone who wants it - and make a profit doing it.

This is something I will do with assets used to build the 42 coal-to-
liquid facilities and the associated solar panels. Those solar panel
factories will be idled at some point. When they are, they will be
converted to other uses. One is a solar panel based power system for
the home. When one examines the highest best use of this technology,
this is the best I've come up with. If you have a better means to
help people I advise you to go out and do it.

Meanwhile, I'll do what I can and hope for the best.

Here are the nations that produce 68% of the world's wealth. They
constitute 22% of the world's population. Using technology to reduce
the cost of housing to 1/10th current costs, and selling that housing
at a slight discount to the market, provides sufficient profit to
supply the balance of the world's population with adequate housing at
zero cost to them while maintaining a 50% profit margin overall.

A similar program with respect to food ends world hunger.

The cost of food in the list of nations below largely reflects the
cost of maintaining a standing army that's needed to maintain the
supply chain into the major cities. GPS guidance with satellite cell
phone technology changes all this.

That is, because only $0.05 of every $1.00 spent on food actually goes
to grow food. $0.95 goes to distribute food. Obviously by improving
logistics of food distribution with direct aerial transport from the
farm using propulsive skin and GPS guidance technology, with low cost
solar hydrogen fueling this transport, provides a means to reduce
costs by a factor of 10.

In a similar way, food is sold to the wealthiest 22% at slightly below
market rates, and comparable foods are sold at steep discounts
elsewhere, ending world hunger, while maintaining 50% margins, even
while supplying food at a discount to all nations, and providing a
comparable quantity of food per capita worldwide free of charge to all
other nations.

5x the dollars flow into actual production, and 5x the food is
produced, while large profits are maintained through increased
efficiencies of production. PET based greenhouses with solar powered
desalination units along with solar powered fertilizer production
support this process as well.
