Tech energy solutions 2024 -wind on the China water solar farm

 It’s the first time in China

The project sits 8 km (5 miles) off the coast and spans an impressive 1,223 hectares (3,023 acres). It uses 2,934 solar platforms that rest on large-scale offshore steel truss foundations, each platform measuring 60m (197 feet) by 35m (115 feet).

It’s the first time in China that a 66-kilovolt offshore cable paired with an onshore cable has been used for high-capacity, long-distance electricity transmission in the solar sector.

Once completed, this offshore solar farm is expected to generate 1.78 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually – enough to power around 2.67 million urban homes. It could also help save Carbon emissions

Benefits include

1) Less NIMBYism

2) Shades water for animals that prefer cooler water

3) Can be used in tandem with fish farms

4) Due to water having a higher albedo than land, there is more irradiance to pick up if the panels are bifacial, meaning higher panel efficiency

5) Cooling effects of water, also leading to higher panel efficiency

Can lighter than air vehicles (dirigibles) be the solution

Airships promise the speed of air freight with dramatically lower costs and direct door-to-door delivery. Picture one hovering above a factory. It lowers a winch to collect cargo, then floats silently across the ocean to deliver goods straight to their destination. No ports, no truck transfers, no delays. No unionized longshoremen.

Airships will also be able to go anywhere. Remote mining sites that currently depend on endless truck convoys could receive a week's worth of supplies in a single airship delivery. A family moving overseas could ship their belongings in days instead of months, at a fraction of today's costs. I could’ve used this. When planning my move to Abu Dhabi, movers quoted us $2,500 and a 22-week delivery time just to ship three boxes of kids’ toys.
Great facts about the cargo option for developers

Can we upgrade our waterway usage

 https://youtu.be/5fqnbskTAjI  Candela   "heralding "a paradigm shift for urban transport and a revival of our waterways."

Can we use technology to upgrade our hydro foil uses  through electrification

Stockholm electric ferry  has  great potential 

The P-12 is 39.24 ft in length (11.99 m), has a 14.76-ft beam (4.5 m) and weighs in a 10 tonnes. Two C-POD electric drives boast 320 kW of peak power, and the onboard battery bank is reckoned good for 40 nautical miles at service speed.

benefits  include 

• speed
• cost/range
• time
• capacity
• real green 
• range 
• lower shore  wake 
• low infrastructure conversion 
• one person operation

interesting -lightweight elenctic and safe -I want one and will get more information 

Can we use the water to live well?

 Can technology  expand our use of abundant water resources 

Land scarcity fear mongering can be beat using our ample water surfaces.  Here is a idea  that has merit 

https://newatlas.com/marine/arkup-50-floating-home/

The Arkup 50 is part of the firm's Livable Yacht series and is conceived to allow full-time off-the-grid living. It measures 50 ft (roughly 15-m) long and has a maximum floorspace of 2,218 sq ft (206 sq m), depending on options. Its exterior features large wraparound windows and it has optional folding decks that offer additional outdoor space.

Like the previous Arkup model, this floating home stands out from the crowd with its (again optional) anchoring and stabilizing tech. However, this version isn't hydraulic and instead consists of four motorized retractable pilings that raise the boat above the waterline. The idea behind it is that it provides stability for those who get seasick, but it won't work in the middle of the ocean, of course, and requires relatively shallow water since the length of the supports is 22 ft (6.7 m).

There's a lot of other tech installed in the Arkup 50 too, including a Starlink internet system to keep the cat memes coming wherever it's located. A desalination unit produces water and a 12-kW solar panel array is hooked up to a 75-kWh battery bank to provide power, plus there's also a 15-kW (20-hp) air-cooled diesel Genset generator. Additionally, though there is a stationary model, for those who do choose the propulsion version, a 67-kW (90-hp) inboard electric thruster and 10-kW (13-hp) bow thruster are used to move it around. Also, in a neat touch, four Arkup 50 models can be positioned together to form a kind of floating island.

Food security and urban food intensification

Singapore  example 

An interesting approach that is energy efficient ,easy to install and maintain , and produces high quality nutrient dense food   

Is this a constructive option to repurpose empty office towers? 

Food security and enhanced food quality ideas

Can we use new tech to improve our food quality with sufficient abundance  . 

What are your ideas to ramp up human self-sufficiency ?

Mine include  self sustaining food pods and agricultural process models . This units have the following attributes :

1. mobile and portable 
2. high tech simple processes
3. Cost effective 
4. standard sizes that are easy to duplicate and use 
5. secure from predators

powered by electricity 

Be a creative sniper and use existing resources wisely  and particularly those that are a abundant desert that are not fully utilized
