Post seastead drawings and art here
Fri, 05/23/2008 - 19:27 — jurisimprudent
I thought it would be nice to have a thread in which we post seastead-related visual material.
I'll kick it off with this, which I've also posted elsewhere but for different reasons.
Let the whimsy commence.
Let me stress that I don´t
concepts
Do you
Do you have a .png, .gif or .jpg of these? I'd like to add these to http://wiki.seasteading.org/index.php/Pictures
I'll create one. I was just
I'll create one. I was just using visio and sketching ideas, and it was easiest to convert it to adobe.
I don't think much of the double cone one after I actually drew it out.

Okay -
Okay - could these be more excellent!? Jesrad - did you render this stuff? Si oui, tres bon travail de tout facon!
Merci ! They're rendered
Merci ! They're rendered with Second Life Viewer 1.20, I built the first model (it is full scale and you can walk around it and inside), the second was a random find. I'll install an additional server so I have enough space to build more models at scale.

Im Ready 2 move in Today.
Wow.
Post on Trendhunter.com
Neat.

Thanks for the pics
Thanks for the images everyone, and to jurisimprudent for starting the thread. One of our high-priority projects w/ the website right now is to get a picture gallery where users can upload and tag images. This is a good collection of resources for that. So keep making seastead images, we'll soon have an easier way for you to show them off!
Fom the infrastructure thread
Wayne Gramlich posted this link on the infrastructure thread. It jumps to some very elegantly rendered and imaginative (in a good sense) pictures of farmsteads.
Awesome link
The concept of floating bubbles of freshwater is especially interesting in the sense that such a bubble can also work as a solar-powered evaporator, generating the freshwater from sea water directly.

My bad... heres the link http://luckysocks.rubiksroom.com/wp-content/seasteading_tidepower.jpg
curren direction
I'be concerned about fouling mooring lines, and how do you face the current ? Do you rotate the entire structure? What is the mechanism for that?
Tidal power
I Love it, nice concept.
Great to Educate Public on Sea Steading.
Pics
More pictures of the sparstead: view from below, walking through the open garden area, closer view from above. It's still lacking most infrastructure though. Another concept: a floating breakwater with docks, and possibly some (cramped) room on the inside, that would harbor other floating structures and provide some utilities to them on the side.
Breakwater uses
House Center Island Node or Module for enclosed Swimming area with Undersea Netting to deter sharks?
Or Undersea Observation Node Cluster modules
& house:
Boat Cranes
Dock Cranes that retract
Solar array
Bigger dock for boats to acess Breakwater Array
Au Natural Rec area with Hotel, condo, apts with safe Inner Lagoon area with Faux clinbing rock face.
Vertical tidal turbine array underneath.
More housing units above Boat Garages?
VSTOL Airport.
Service ships within Inner Lake??
Basic scuba & swimming lake enclosed.
All from your Breakwater design alone.
Wiki
It is possible to upload pictures on wiki.seasteading.org, may be that's easier than linking to them? http://wiki.seasteading.org/index.php/Pictures
Tide turbines
Well the turbines would swing to face which ever direction the current is facing, however - currents dont tend to change direction all that much at see.
another option would be to moor the turbine cluster to the sea floar, as someone rightly pointed out, u need a static base in order to take advantage of the velocity factor.
This isn't quite complete.
This isn't quite complete. The thing on the right hand side is supposed to be a tower. Right now it's a rickety piece of shit.

Nice! Is this a spar buoy?
Nice! Is this a spar buoy?
Yep. Four
Yep. Four legs.
100ftx100ft
It still needs a lot of detail. I'm gonna put another tower on the other side too.
Edit: Here's from another angle.

Nice
Nice ! Although, I can't help but remark the helideck on this is lacking a proper air gap to reduce turbulent flow.
I appreciate the feedback.
I appreciate the feedback. I don't think the dimensions on the pad are big enough either.
Note to Patri: You need to use your influence to get SketchUp ported to linux. Under wine it explodes when you do a screenshot. Sometimes it randomly explodes. ;)
Design source
Luigi Colani: noted for cars, planes & trucks & has done Cities.
see book COLANI (hardcover) & see Science City Project.
Dated but Good Sea Stead Surface Model.
Invite to Design Sea Steads?
See website???
dont know website linkl.
If you have a good resource,
If you have a good resource, please put it in the library thread under TSI Research. Also, it is helpful to include a link to the book on Amazon.com or a similar site, so that further info can be found. Thanks.
