Dear Fellow Creative Genius,

.

It is good to make your acquaintance, and it is good to see your diverse interests and areas of personal study. And if I might, I'd like to engage your mind for a moment and could use some help on one of my 2500 new futuristic concepts. This one is needed now due to issues with glacier ice receding and water challenges, not to mention rising waters on some places on the planet, like Bangladesh or those areas built below sea level, which cannot withstand too much more rise in their regions.

.

So, here is my question to ONLY the most brilliant minds on this planet, and I would not be interested in hearing from anyone who is boxed into a certain scientific niche which disallows magical, innovative, imaginative, and genius level thought. So, here is the topic:

.

Any thoughts on using frequency schemes to change the molecular structure of water, along with carbon nano-tube materials to build fences, dams, gates to assist in creating vertical water features or building an Atlantis type city-state concept? Also using frequency-molecular manipulation to build scaffolding, or rebar type construction in glacier ice to hold it together using crisscross firing systems, almost like cross-fire desalination techniques? In that we could create very hard and strong 3D grids within the ice, made of ice itself to hold it together? Applications might be:

.

1. Preventing Glacier Ice Breaks
2. Towing a giant piece of ice to a harbor for fresh water
3. Strengthening an Ice Hotel at the Pole
4. Off Planet Colony using an ice igloo strategy
5. Stop flooding
6. Create stronger dams or protect the dams which are at crisis load
7. Increase density to increase power component of ocean wave generation
8. Building a shield against submarine attack
9. Corralling fish farms without impacting environment

.

There are no doubt, many more applications of course, in fact, after I came up with this concept in the late 1990s, I had considered 100s. And so, I ask the world and its creative geniuses to please think on this and bring it forthwith, for the human race needs it now. You see, I know this is all possible, because we also know that snowflakes adapt by temperature and frequency, and that water has many properties that can be scientifically observed under various extreme circumstances. So, can we create that extreme circumstance and have all the benefits.

.

Indeed, perhaps you are one who you enjoys Sci Fi, and mythology, city building, environmental sustainability, you might be someone that could consider all this?

There has always been a lot of concern about the manufacturing of materials such as carbon nano-tube structures. The problem is that at the molecular level the particles are so tiny it's almost impossible to keep them from escaping. They are also quite small and could easily get into your lungs if you simply took a breath, and they would not easily fall to the ground because they would be so light weight, that the wind could take them and make them fly away with just a small breeze.

.

After the asbestos scare, the EPA and scientist are quite concerned about the manufacturing of carbon nano-tube structures. Fortunately, just recently the Swiss have discovered that an enzyme which is found in white blood cells breaks down the carbon nano-tube structures into their basic elements; oxygen and carbon. Imagine if you will, what this means? No need to worry about these particles getting into your body anymore.

.

It means we can collect the CO2 coming out of the exhaust stacks of coal fired energy generation plants, and then use that carbon to make carbon nano-tubes. Then those carbon nano-tube sheets can be used to make cars, trucks, ships, airplanes, houses, and buildings lighter, stronger, and even give them electrical properties. This is an unbelievable break-through, however, it barely made the major media headlines.

.

There are of course Military Implications, for instance using reactive two-stage precision attacks using white blood cell enzymes on first hit, followed in the exact location later with second hit. It also means that enemy UAVs made of this material can be taken out by using flocks of birds for bird strikes, then conventional weapons after that.

.

Speaking of which does this mean we have to tear down the wings of an airliner made of carbon nano-tube composites involved in major bird strikes to protect the structural integrity of those surfaces and the aircraft itself - could be? Although birds do not have that much blood in them compared to other mammals like pigs, cows, and other large animals.

.

But one thing for sure, it means that carbon nano-tubes are definitely "in" our future. It means that our cars will weigh less than a third of what they do today, and without all that weight they will get better gas mileage, easily surpassing the 35 miles per gallon which the Obama Administration recently put into force as the average Café Standards acceptable for automobile manufacturers and cars sold in the US. It also means that we can reduce our over the road truck fuel usage by almost half.

.

It means that our carbon footprint for airliners will be significantly reduced. It also means that your house will be stronger and it won't fall down in an earthquake because the roof will be superlight and super-strong and nothing can fall on you, which might crush you. I hope you will please consider all this.

First, this is an interesting article:

Also this is a decent GAO report on EPA challenges in regulating nano-manufacturing;

Now some of my previous thoughts on this:

Pollution on Human BioSystem in Manufacturing of Carbon Nanotubes
By: Lance Winslow

One problem in manufacturing has always been worker safety. What will the future of OSHA look like in the United States? As other nations with no worker safety run forward in the Global Market they will enter their Industrial Revolution just like America did. But up until that point they will continue to pollute their water supplies and air and take advantage of their cheap labor.

The United States will have to relax their OSHA Standards or re-align them with reality. Some say any relaxing of such regulations will be a sham and an obvious and careless move against the American worker for increased profits and exploitation of our labor markets here at home.

In making new materials like carbon nanotube sheets many methods will be used such as for instance the possible use of frequency fields in the microwave area, chemical ionic bonding and high amounts of heat. All of which might be very dangerous to human beings.

Perhaps robots will be assigned such tasks, yet frequency pollution in the work place can be highly disruptive to the human bio-system and health. This can lead to free radicals, cancer or other diseases. Although these issues have not been satisfactorily addressed it is important to study along with the various methods being introduced to manufacture carbon nanotubes.

A schematic of each method must be studied to make sure, none of the polluted bi-products are released into the environment or in an area which they may enter the human bio-system. Due to the nature of working with such small dimensions, it maybe a painstaking set of procedures, which will need to be introduced to make the manufacturing of carbon nanotube material possible and safe.

As the industry attempts to address these issues and come up with adequate protocols everyone is concerned as we do not need a repeat of the Asbestos issues, which caused havoc and cost many their lives. So it is essential and paramount that we address these issues to the satisfaction of all.

Scientists are working on ways to do this now and learning as they go. Designing filters, which can protect us will be difficult due to the micro scale we will be working with, however there are ways to keep the particles controlled during the process. Next we must take this process to a much higher level so we can mass-produce them to help fuel efficiency and safety for all carbon nanotubes many uses.

Costs in Carbon Nanotube Sheet Manufacturing Hurting Safety
By: Lance Winslow

The incredible properties of carbon nanotube technology means light weight material, transparency and strengths 50-250 times that of steel. This means added safety to aircraft, cars, buses and trains. It also means tremendous efficiencies in fuel.

Indeed such material maybe used to build houses, bridges and buildings in the path of potential storm surges from Super Hurricanes or over Earthquake faults. Since it can be very flexible it maybe the perfect material.

Unfortunately the costs to produce a single carbon nanotube sheet is presently so expensive that any material made will be immediately allotted to the very most important uses. For instance Space Ships, Presidential Limousine, military aircraft, bulletproof vests or testing its properties in labs. Therefore it will be a long time until we have large amounts of the material to make trucks, school buses and passenger cars with it, although that will surely come in time.

In the case of school buses most school districts are strapped with cash and cannot afford to replace buses due to budget constraints. Indeed, the high diesel prices are putting even more of a burden on the transportation divisions in school districts now, as well as city buses. The safety in the future will come from buses being less top heavy and therefore fewer will tip over. The efficiency in fuel costs will come from the incredible reduction in weight.

Right now the cost for a carbon nanotube sheet is very high, however in five years that may not be the case and in ten years carbon nanotube sheets will be mass-produced by most industrialized nations. Think on this.

Abatement Class of Nano Manufacturing Materials
By: Lance Winslow

One of the biggest breakthroughs for scientists in nano technology is building super tiny machines, which will replicate and build themselves. These tiny devices can build themselves and help make materials stronger than we had ever dreamed of. But what happens when these little bots keep going and will not stop?

What if a nanotech manufacturing facility allows these super tiny nanotech devices, which are so small they are hard to contain, escape the manufacturing facility and building and begin building themselves? Then what? Well then we have a serious problem and it has already happened too.

When one scientist went out side the building to measure the area and found that the levels of particles were too high? Well it freaked him out and his employer and thus now scientists are considering these issues? Perhaps you recall the book “Prey” which was a Sci Fi Book which somewhat addressed this subject?

What we are going to need is an abatement class of Nano Manufacturing Materials, which will seek and destroy these rogue runaway nano-particles, because once they escape it will be nearly impossible to catch them or stop them, because they are hard to detect and so small they are impossible to see. Consider all this in 2006.

Abatement Cleaning of Exterior Areas of Nano Manufacturing Buildings
By: Lance Winslow

As the world of nano manufacturing at the molecular level continues and as our greatest minds and universities propel thought and innovation into future periods and focus all the research and development of new materials and solutions for mankind's most challenging and pressing issues; we must understand what we're doing and safeguard against possible contaminants giving out all the laboratory and into the wild. It behooves the human race to have protocols and procedures for the abatement and cleaning of exterior areas around nano manufacturing buildings to ensure that the materials do not get into the lungs of animals or humans and do not self replicate outside lab.

Just because we have the ability to play God and take the human race to the next level of evolution does not mean we should put the cart before the horse and charge off into the future half cocked. It would be foolish for us not to design protocols and abatement cleaning procedures for nano manufacturing buildings and laboratories.

Although we are not quite sure what we will be up against we do know that nano tech materials will be so small that they can escape the work area and therefore we may need larger membranes and airflows that are ironically charged to collect any material that escapes the manufacturing area. Please consider this in 2006 as it is a very serious issue, which we will be facing in the near future.

Please consider these issues.

Sincerely,

Lance
