  1. A Home O'Centric Insight. By Andrew Tubbiolo Minimal Industrial Needs for a Minimal Mars Colony.

  2. Colonial Home Constant need to manufacture or re manufacture goods. Production of food, and air. Reprocessing of waste. What is a colony? It is a home. • Terrestial Home • Constant influx of goods. • Constant influx of food. • Constant efflux of waste.

  3. Means of Manufacturing is the Linchpin. • What do you need to manufacture goods? • What do you need to make the tools to grow food? • What do you need to make the tools to reprocess and reuse waste streams? • You need tools.

  4. Electrical What Kind of Tools? • Mechanical

  5. Mechanical Ensemble. The Lathe. • The Lathe. • Work Rotates. • Tool moves about work. • Machines conical sections. • Holds accuracy to 0.001” • Can make parts for engines in the tens of kilowatt class.

  6. Mechanical Ensemble. The Mill. • The Mill. • Tool rotates • Work is moved about the tool. • Used to machine planer sections. • Machines to 0.001”. • Up to tens of kilowatt class machines.

  7. Mechanical Ensemble. Surface Grinder. • Surface grinder. • Tool rotates. • Work moved about tool. • Machines planer surfaces. • Accuracy to 0.0001”

  8. Electrical Ensemble EDA Tools. • EDA Tools. • Specify system needs. • Schematic capture. • Simulation. • PCB Layout

  9. Electrical Ensemble Circuit Prototype. • Circuit Prototype. • Test ideas and concepts in a manner that allows fast changes.

  10. Electrical Ensemble PCB Fabrication. • PCB Fabrication. • Manufacture permanent solution on site.

  11. Electrical Ensemble Test Equipment. • Test Equipment. • Logic Analyzer. • Monitor many channels logic state simultaneously. • Oscilloscope. • Monitor signals to high resolution. • EDA PC Environment. • Project documents. • Soda. • Cool caffeinated refreshment.

  12. Putting it all Together. • Terrestrial thermal power source project rated at 500+W. • Aluminum Foundry. • Thermal engine power source. • Thermal refrigeration power source. • Power source for a small boiler.

  13. Mechanical Mounts. • Integration Sphere Interface. • Fast on demand fabrication. • Allows reactions to needs not foreseen.

  14. Propulsion. • A tall order for sure, but on Mars even simple propulsion systems can be quite effective.

  15. Industrial Expansion. Use your tools to make more tools. Raw materials mining. Refinement. Component manufacturing Tool manufacturing. Constant Needs of Colonial Industry. • Support Systems. • Power generation. • Atmosphere generation. • Raw materials. • Food production. • Transportation. • Tool needs for goods requirements.

  16. Conclusion. • Tools make the colony. • Tools provide the goods needed to support human life. • Tools provide the means to make new tools. • Tools provide means to expand. • Colonizing is an effort in tool making and operations. • Engineered systems can be built integrated and tested in the terrestrial home. • Colonize the home as a prelude to Mars.

  17. Questions. • Rip it apart.
