AQUATER PAPER 2.9 APPS FOR THE SEMAN

The Opportunity

A living platform exists capable of supporting many new businesses and styles of life. This platform, the SEMAN (see AP1.0 on this site), consists of a seagoing vessel that provides a means of living comfortably on the ocean. This vessel allows one to make fresh water, grow food and harvest energy for sale on land. One can travel to any place near the ocean for free, and enjoy all the electronic entertainment a land dweller enjoys. These SEMAN can travel in groups (pods) to allow contact with other people. Each SEMAN can support four people without requiring supplies from the land. The ocean provides enough high-energy space (wind speed >15 KN) to ensure profitable operation for 200 million SEMAN (see AP2.4). In addition to this, the SEMAN can provide a large amount of electrical energy for use in these businesses. Clearly, the SEMAN provides many opportunities to accomplish many public-spirited works. These opportunities can be developed as applications (APPS) for the SEMAN

 

The Solution

As example APPS for the SEMAN, consider the following.

  • A development station for Public Information Internet programs.
  • A development station for electronic devices useful to the public.
  • A mobile group for disaster relief.
  • A mobile group for weather control..
  • A group for orbital boosters.
  • A development station for hydroponics and related food growing processes.

 

Clearly, most of these APPS are not economically viable without the profit inherent in the SEMAN, so these functions would often be left undone without the existence of the Aquater Alliance. Thus a good reason exists to promote and expand the Aquater Alliance and its use to perform important but unprofitable projects.

 

Summary and Conclusions

The SEMAN, because of its inherent profitability and independence, is well suited for accomplishing many public-spirited works (examples shown above) that would otherwise remain undone.
