Different Designs of Geothermal Heat Pump Systems
In this article we will discuss Different Designs of Geothermal Heat Pump Systems. There are four major types of geothermal heat pump systems, each with its own distinct design. Three of these systems are categorised as “closed-loop systems,” while the fourth is classified as a “open-loop system.” The sections that follow go over each of these numerous types of geothermal heat pump…

Closing Loops in Soilless Gardening - Hydroponics and Aquaponics
What is the future of food production going to look like? Is the projected 10 billion people in 25 years, out of which two thirds will live in cities, going to require us to convert every square meter of arable land into intensive mono cultural farms? Please don't let that be true! There HAS to be some alternative. Fortunately, there are several. Two of them are different ways of growing plants without soil, a radically new method, which may be most appealing to urban food production.

Hydroponics: Growing Plants in Water
When it comes to growing large amounts of food on a small area efficiently, hydroponic systems are often brought up as a solution. And the reasons sound pretty convincing: An efficient hydroponic farm uses 90% less water, and can yield 3-10 times the amount of produce per area, with 7-14 growth cycles in a year. IMPRESSIVE! But before getting too excited, let's not forget: the devil is in the details! It's worth looking into under exactly what conditions those plants grow, being fed by what light, and most importantly which nutrients, and where they come from.

The basic concept, however, of growing plants vertically, in mostly water, with some kind of substrate, such as clay balls or vermiculite, is actually a pretty nifty way to grow food where there are no fields. The most basic form of this may be the Windowfarm technique, which I experimented with myself years ago in my Budapest apartment. Going to Shanghai, the whole idea seems to be taken to a whole new level.

Is That Really Sustainable? Or Even Healthy?
… not to mention, does hydroponics even fit into Permaculture? Because let's be honest: with a system that needs to be constantly managed and monitored you could not be further from a self-supporting ecosystem. Also, what exactly do those plants get to eat? The typical N-P-K made industrially out of petrochemicals? Most likely. So while it certainly reduces the transport related drawbacks, hydroponics is by no means energy efficient, and the nutritional value won't be any better than your most industrially grown veggies.

How Does Aquaponics Compare?
Okay, so let's bring in the fish! For those not familiar with the difference between the two systems, aquaponics is the combination of hydroponics and aquaculture, which are simply fish farms. Having fish in a tank, they will naturally defecate into the water, requiring it to be changed regularly. Plants, however love to eat those nutrients that the fish excrete. Or to be more exact, they feed on the nutrients that have been converted by bacteria and other microbes. The ammonia will turn in to nitrites, which in turn become nitrates, that is food for the plants.

So running the water from the fish through the plants growing substrate will on one hand feed the plants, as well as clean it for the fish to enjoy it again. So the system already closed a few loops there, making it more sustainable than just mere hydroponics. Also, the inclusion of microbes already offers a more diverse environment, bringing the system a bit closer to an ecosystem. But let's not get ahead of ourselves: Aquaponic systems still need close monitoring, as they are still a far cry from a self sustaining ecosystem of let's say a pond. Also, the water circulation / aeration is most likely going to require a pump, and depending on the exact setup of the system, maybe artificial lighting for the plants. All these aspects add to the energy requirement of the aquaponic system.

A Truly Closed Loop? Consider the Food of the Fish!
When praising the sustainability of aquaponics, one thing that mustn't be ignored is the source of the fish food. Just like with the hydroponic systems, where the food for the plants or the fertilizer is considered, we can't ignore the feed we give to our fish to eat. If it is the same industrial feed, we may as well have kept to our hydroponics. Not true, since including fish already makes our system more diverse. So instead, let's continue in that same direction. What do fish eat? What is good for them? How can we grow that food ourselves?
Tumblr media

Making Your Own Sustainable Fish Food
Here I could probably start a number of individual posts, since talking about fish food is like opening up a can of worms. But fortunately, I already have a number of appropriate things written. Talking about worms, by the way, anyone who has been fishing knows that they are a favored delicacy, and anyone who composts will have no shortage of them. Since worms are mostly vegetarians, and many of us eat meat, it may have been a bit difficult to properly compost greasy, meaty, bony food wastes. That's where black soldier flies come in, whose larvae are also frequently mentioned for fish food. I still need to try growing those guys. As for green plants for the fish, duckweed makes also good fish feed, again something I have no experience with. What I do know, though, is spirulina, which is also super rich in nutrients, and I would be surprised if the fish didn't like it. So I can see throwing some composting worms, black soldier fly larvae, and spirulina into a blender, to make some great nutritious fish food. At the moment this is very theoretical for me, though.

Don't Give Up the Soil Completely
So does this mean we should all focus on setting up our most sustainable fish-plant-compost combo cycles? Hells yeah! But please not at the expense of everything else! Soilless gardening, as exciting and revolutionary as it may sound, is still that: without soil. And let's face it: neither us, nor our beans and tomatoes, have evolved to live entirely without soil. That just seems wrong. Even in a small urban apartment it's worth having a bit of soil on your roof, balcony, or window sill, where you can dig your hands into a world of healthy microbial diversity on occasion. And if you do have the space, by all means, set up a pond, a dam, or another aquatic ecosystem, where fish, and frogs, and dragonflies, and numerous other species can live together without relying on our management. Apart from looking pretty, they will also provide food for us, that is nutritionally superior to anything industrially grown.

2 Guilty Pleasure
Tumblr media
Previous Chapter
We had fueled up halfway through our shift and taken a much-needed lunch break. Crystal and I walked toward the mess hall and just sat in silence. I needed caffeine, and fast. I put my elbows on the table and rested my head on my palm, closing my eyes and just breathing slowly. I was queasy by the smell of the mess hall; it was filled with the scent of sweat mixed with burnt food and smoke from the grill, and occasionally the smell of vomit. I pushed through the feeling by breathing through my mouth whenever possible. The coffee would be coming out soon. Not many personnel were on the decks at this time, but they still had a few staff available for us. Just as I was thinking about coffee, I heard them bring out the self-serve liter pumps. I opened my eyes looking at it, wishing I had telekinesis right about now to bring the device to me. Crystal watched and let out a small giggle knowing what I wanted, she got up from the table and walked towards the coffee dispenser. She grabbed two cups, filling them to the brim with the disgusting bean water. I hated the taste of coffee, but I didn’t care, I needed the caffeine. I took it black since the sugar and cream had not arrived on the table yet. Crystal on the other hand decided to wait, thankfully, she wasn’t waiting long.
“Thank you,” I whispered to her as she set it in front of me. We preferred our lunch breaks quietly because we reserved talking for the cockpit. We generally held constant communication while in the plane. It was helpful to our teamwork, how we worked in enemy fire, and when we were being targeted, all of which was dependent on being a cooperative team. The guys around here could learn a thing or two from our example. We worked 12-hour shifts for 3 days a week and then the other pilots took over for the remainder of the week. The hours were brutal, but we made do seeing as we had the least seniority for bidding our preferred schedule. We technically didn’t have to fly for the entirety of our shift, but it was helpful to have eyes in the sky as much as possible. I slowly sipped my coffee, taking in the tranquility for the next hour.
When the hour was up, we headed back to the plane. I quickly did my preflight, making sure nothing was out of sorts. I hopped in Crystal following my lead as I checked the flight controls, electronic displays, pitot-static system, and analog instruments. Crystal continued her flows and checks and I waited for her to be ready, I hopped back out of the plane and did a 360-degree walk around just to make sure we didn’t have any other blatant issues. When I hopped back in, Crystal was ready to go. I made sure to strap my helmet back on my head and tell the ground crew we were ready to go before I started the engines. They hooked us back up to the catapults and brought up the blast pad. When I saw the thumbs-up, I heard ATC in my ear.
“Reaper, you’re cleared for take-off. Have fun out there.” I heard them say.
“Cleared for take-off, we’ll be departing to the Northwest,” I told them. I pushed the throttles fully forward and prepared for the bumpy ride off the runway. When we were airborne, I happily turned us to heading 320, climbing up to around 6,000ft. When we got away from the ship around 81 miles away Doe radioed into the ship.
“Mustang, we’ll be bearing 140 at 81 miles starting some aerobatics.” She told them. Our routine was expected.
“Roger Doe, we’ll keep you updated if we spot any activity. Your partners are to the North about 20 miles out from you.” They told her.
“I have them on radar, thank you.” Doe said to ATC. I got us up a bit higher before I started doing anything. Once we were at around 10,000 ft I threw on the afterburner and started doing rolling turns while descending. Once we got to 3,000 ft. I pulled us vertical and climbed up back up to 10,000, once there I turned off our burner and flipped us backward, descending and doing loops as we did so. After this, we flew inverted for a bit.
“What’s the plan here Reaper?” I heard Doe ask after a few minutes went by of us hanging upside down. I rolled the plane back over, so we weren’t hanging by our straps.
“Just thinking,” I told her.
“What about?” She asked.
“I wanted to get some practice landings in, but we’re on an aircraft carrier where that’s impossible to do since we have the tailhook. I miss landing on an actual runway built for touch and go’s,” I told her.
“I miss it too. But I’m enjoying the sea too, our days off feel like a vacation when we get our swims in the ocean… Or playing with the boys on the flight deck with the catapults and football.” She giggled a little, a fond memory coming through. I nodded, brushing off the need to respond. After doing a couple more tricks and maneuvers, we ran some recovery flows.
At around 5:45 am, I decided it was time to get back to the ship. I brought us down to 1,000 feet when we were in the 10-mile range.   
“Mustang, this is Reaper we’re inbound 10 miles from the North, full stop,” I told them wanting this night to end as soon as possible. I heard our partner plane land a few minutes before us.
“Copy Reaper, we have you in sight. You’re cleared to land, contact approach.” They said handing me off to the other frequency.
“Approach, Reaper,” I said to them, knowing they didn’t need any other information.
“Reaper, you’re three-quarters of a mile out, call the ball.” I heard them say as we got closer to the ship. I kept the plane descending easily, putting my flaps in as necessary.
“I have the ball,” I told them as I glided the plane down, following glide path lights, and flaring at the perfect time. I felt our wheels hit the deck before I felt our tailhook catch the third arresting wire. The force of the plane being pulled backward shocked me into life, if you weren’t expecting it, this action could give you serious whiplash. Then we stopped, I shut down the engines and opened the canopy.
“Hey, you two!! Stinger would like a word.” I rolled my eyes, what could he possibly want now at 6 am? I unclipped my helmet from my chin and pulled it off my head. That’s when Maverick and Goose came waltzing up to us.
“Reaper, Doe. Hey, how’re you guys doing after your night flying adventures?” Maverick greeted us, his enthusiasm could kill me. I rolled my eyes as I collected my things out of the small space. I shoved my flight bag on my back and my helmet underneath my arm as I moved to get down the ladder. I started going down and my foot slipped on the third rung. I braced for a hard fall on the tarmac, but the hit never came. I felt arms beneath my figure and Maverick’s eyes on me. My brown eyes met his hazel, and I couldn’t help but smile softly. I heard Goose clear his throat and Maverick quickly snapped back into reality and set me on my own feet.
Maverick and I had a colorful past in fact we competed quite frequently. I wouldn’t have even considered us acquaintances during that time period. Since we started overlapping shifts, we’d been becoming quite decent friends. We helped each other out with our pre-flights if we got back early, we studied together, and truth be told even though I despised his egotistical attitude, I did enjoy his company. He was perhaps one of my best friends, which is somewhere I never thought we would be.
“You think you can manage it back to your quarters?” He joked with me, brushing off the awkwardness his RIO had created.
“You’re a fucking prick you know that?” I told him, pausing, knowing that I couldn’t leave the conversation this way.
“Regardless of my mood… I hope there’s clear skies for you and no further issues with Cougar.” I told him, starting to walk away.
“You didn’t hear?” Goose asked us curiously. I spun around unhappily, looking up at the man.
“Hear what? We’ve been in the plane all night except for our lunch.” Doe said sarcastically to him. Both of our moods had deteriorated.
“Cougar turned in his wings.” He said slowly, I hung my head disappointed.
“Fuck.” I quietly but angrily spit out, rubbing my face and clearing my bleary eyes. They all waited in silence. I wasn’t in the plane anymore; I was allowed to feel my damn emotions and not store them in a box on a shelf. Besides, after my previous partner aircraft I was allowed to be upset. My past had a way of giving me intense moments of PTSD.
“I knew he was shaken up, but I figured he’d move past it like we all do. The first time it happens you either don’t let it happen again and learn from it, or you quit. Fuck!” I exclaimed again. Goose looked at me with sympathy.
“Maeve, you did the best you could. I think he was just too far gone. When he got back, he said he couldn’t stop thinking about his wife and kid. He couldn’t imagine putting them through his death. He knew if he froze like that again it would kill him and his RIO.” He told me putting his hand on my shoulder. I nodded, sucking in a breath of air and looking up at him.
“Thanks, Goose,” I said as he removed his hand. I pulled my hair from its bun, which had loosened during the day’s events, I felt my hair fall onto my back in a low ponytail.
“Okay boys, safe flying,” I told them as I made my move to get out of there and talk to Stinger. Maverick’s fingers grazed my back as we brushed past each other, the simple gesture would have been missed by both our RIOs, but I knew, he knew what I was feeling towards the Cougar situation. I made my way to the lockers and threw my keys for the plane, flight bag, and helmet inside it. Then slammed it shut,
“Ready Crystal?” I asked her still facing the locker.
“Yeah, let’s go.” She said as I heard her locker shut. I let her walk out first and followed her down the hallway. We walked down the length of the deck and up the stairs to the offices. Crystal knocked on the door three times.
“Come in.” I heard Stinger’s gravelly voice ring out. Crystal pushed the door open, we walked in slowly, saluting to him as we did so.
“At ease, sit down both of you.” He said we did as he requested.
“That was an incredibly brave thing you did last night Maeve; I’m thoroughly impressed with the way you handled the situation. Before you came along this group needed some serious glue. Come to find out a few months later, you’re it…” He took a breath.
“Thank you, sir,” I thanked him appreciating the compliment.
“I’m not done. We had a team drop out of their slot to Top Gun. They’re letting me fill the slot. Since Cougar turned in his wings, I figured that was the only slot this squadron would get. But now I have two, I want you guys to take the second one.” My breathing hitched in my throat, this was an amazing opportunity, and the excitement renewed my energy.
“I apologize in advance sir, but who received the other slot?” Crystal asked speaking out of term, Stinger waved off the apology.
“You will be joined by Maverick and Goose.” He said to us. She nodded at the news, I could tell she was holding back her true emotions. I stood up taking in the information.
“Thank you, sir.” We thanked him for the opportunity.
“Get some sleep, I’ll send Maverick and Goose to collect you two when they leave in the evening. And ladies?” He stopped.
“Yes sir?” I asked him as Crystal joined me in heading toward the door.
“Do us proud.” He smirked, and I smiled back.
“Of course, sir,” Crystal said to him, before we walked out the door and started to celebrate, whooping, and cheering all the way.

.:Wild Goose Chase:.
.:InFAMOUS: No Man's Land Chapter 5:.
Hey guys! Sorry for the wait. This chapter turned out to be one hell of a challenge for me to write, but I managed to do it with listening to the InFAMOUS soundtrack on loop (Meet The Reapers specifically) copious amounts of caffeine and lots of cuddles from my cats. It was rough, but I hope you guys like it!
Big shoutout to @rogueshadeaux for her help in making sure my caffeine fueled writing spree didn't look like word-salad! I am always grateful for her help.
Tumblr media
“Catch me if you can~!” The mocking, sing-song voice of the thief pierces through the air. My ears could barely pick up the noise over the sound of the rain and the sparks that arched from my body. I was hot on her heels despite her getting a small headstart. My head was still swimming with questions about who the hell this bitch thinks she is, but now isn't the time to play 20 questions. Right now, I need to teach this thief a lesson she won’t ever forget.
I see the darting plume of shimmering smog dart into a vent to get topside and I follow after her, grabbing onto a vertical rail to launch myself upwards and airborne, propelling myself forward on a plume of my own flames of electricity and napalm. It catches her by surprise as I make contact and the resulting blast sends her flying, but instead of the usual sounds of pain, fear or even hated; she laughs. She’s laughing!! “You pack quite a punch, sparky!” I hear her coo as I rush in to close the gap, firing black and red bolts as I do, when I see her quickly get to feet and dart around. She fires back three shot bursts of ash in retaliation, giggling all the while.
Leaping to the side and rolling to avoid the volley, I see her launch herself up off of a vent and dash forward. “Bye-bye, lightbulb~” That annoying voice chides as she unfurls her cloak more to catch the air. It almost looked like she was taking flight on smoking wings as she used her cloak like a glide suit. What is with every Conduit I meet being able to fly except for me??
Without hesitation, I leap onto a power line to give chase. The crimson sparks grow in intensity as my feet hit the live wire and push me forward after her. My skin tingles and buzzes as I engage the thrusters to accelerate. My eyes lock onto the thief and my mind starts to think about all the ways I could make her pay.
Adrenaline floods my system as my heart hammers in my chest. When one line ends, I leap and glide onto another to keep going. With every leap, I got faster as the inertia from one wire flings me to the next. I catch the masked figure turning her head to see me hot on her tail, I could see the look of surprise and… Something else. Fear? Panic? Excitement? It was hard to tell with that bone-white mask of hers. I smirk at the expression anyways; from that look, seems like she wasn’t expecting someone to catch up to her as quickly as I am.
Then again, she’s never faced someone like me before.
We were almost neck and neck until the caper dashes to suddenly change direction, forcing me to skid to a stop and switch to another set of wires to follow. Damn! The chick knows her stuff, that’s for sure, but even the best slip up and I have all the energy in the world to wait for that. My eyes stay glued on her. Now that I know that she likes to make sudden switches like that; I can watch out for the tells and react accordingly.
Rain sizzles off my skin as I race down the wire, the electricity and friction causing my body to heat. I watch the girl and notice her movement patterns: flighty, erratic and darting around; like a sparrow in flight. Making it hard for me to track, but not impossible. Memories flicker for a split second as I continue my pursuit. A memory of using birds as target practice in Empire and a memory of knocking pigeons out of the sky in New Marais. It gives me an idea of how I can clip this birdie’s wings and ground her. I up the amperage of my thrusters, sparks now flaring and arcing everywhere as I blitz forward. I notice the little sparrow about to make a dart, but instead trying to keep pace, I shoot past her. She slows down in confusion but continues forward and I smirk. Good. I slow down as I cut off the thrusters, causing me to start to lag from my lead and allowing the thief to start catching up to me; right where I want her.
I can see the panic in her eyes as she sees my arms charge up, taken off guard. She attempts to dart away, but with a good punch blast the little birdie goes tumbling down from the sky and onto a building below.
I leap down, my body charging as I plummet down in a thunder drop. The clipped birdie barely has any time to scramble to get out of the way before I make impact. The shockwave from the drop causes her to stumble over and back down. My smirk is as wide as ever as I stand up. The girl turns to smoke and reforms back on her feet. I see her about to take off again, but I’m not gonna let that happen again. I knew her trick now.
She’s not getting away this time.
“Oh no you don’t, little birdie.” With a flick of my wrist, a line of solid black and red plasma solidifies in my grip before I toss it at the scrambling woman. The hook wraps itself around her ankle and with a hard pull, the little sparrow comes flying towards me. The charged line causing her muscles to lock and leaving her unable to dematerialize. Once within reach, electricity forms around my hands into the shape of wicked blades and I slash at her. Not at her body, but at that damn cloak of hers. With the fabric damaged, I see the expression of “oh SHIT” appear on her face before it turns into one of annoyance. “Awww. What’s the matter? Baby bird hurt her wing?” I taunt with a sneer. “Where did all that spunk go?”
Now it was her turn to growl in annoyance as I summon the gigawatt blades to cut at her body, not even giving her a chance to snark back at me. Mid-swing she ducks under my cut before doing something that really caught me off guard. She grows metallic claws, definitely not something smoke Conduits can’t do. She slashes at my stomach but I was able to barely avoid the tiny daggers ripping into my skin, instead ripping into my brand new shirt. I growl before a grin forms on my face as I grip at her own clothing to grapple with her.
She lets out a yelp before struggling, twisting her body around to loosen my grip, but I put a few hard volts into her to let her know I wasn’t letting go that easily.
“Playing rough?” She hisses out before I chuckle. “You asked for it, little birdie.” I snarl before she tries to headbutt me. I use my grip on her to move her away. “Then let’s play.” Those hot-steel eyes glare at me before the little shit digs her claws into my arm. I yell out in pain as the searing metal sinks in, but I don’t let go. I can see her eyes widen in panic as she notices that I’m not releasing her. 
“Nah, I’m done playing today.” I growl before sending powerful volts into her body, bet she’s regretting sinking those metallic claws into me now.
I have to give her props, she doesn’t scream, only digs her claws in deeper. Blood drips down and mixes with the rain water as I push her to get her onto the ground. I could see the gears turning in her head as she got an idea. Instead of pushing back, she swings her body-weight down to pull me over. Planting her foot in my stomach hard before dropping back. The sudden give causes me to flip over her and the claws to rip skin, thankful with my training, I knew how to roll through the tumble and get back to my feet. I fire off bolts as she rolls on the ground to get back up.
She fires back in kind, but I can see it. Her energy was waning and her eyes were changing to a cool steel blue. The rain seemed to also be starting to take its toll on her, causing her to become sluggish. I can’t help but to grin. Only a matter of time. Electric and smog fly through the air as we trade shots, but one well timed headshock stuns her enough so I can close the gap one more time, this time with my Amp out. I rush in and before she has time to recover; ready to put this bitch into the ground and take back what’s mine!
"Hey jackass!!"
"Hu-" WHUMP!!! 
A hard and forceful burst of wind crashes into me midrush, causing me to tumble over and onto my side. Where the HELL did that come from?? I get back onto my feet to see another person in a cloak floating in midair. I stare at this new player absolutely enraged and gobsmacked. His body is covered in a white cloak and he's wearing a mask, a black one taking inspiration from those creepy plague doctors. This bozo darts over to the thief and helps her up. I hear them talk as I get up. “You okay, Caper?” I hear a male voice ask with worry as he assists. The masked thief hurries up with the help of the bird. “I’ll be fine, Dove. We need to book it though.” The white cloaked one, Dove, nods and the two start to run. Oh HELL NO. My hand charges with electricity as I fire off a series of Scythe bolts, but they are quick… Wait a minute… Were they speeding up on a sprint? They leap off the building before taking to the air again. The bird-faced bastard hooking his arm around the thief’s hip and she his; allowing his white cloak and what’s left of her tattered black cloak to take off. I damn near roar in fury as I fire off clusters of Hellfire rockets in an attempt to down them, but they were too quick. It was only then I could feel what was helping them, the wind. The one in the bird mask is an Air Conduit!!
My lips curl into a snarl as I watch them slip away like phantoms. Red hot rage burning in my blood, fury turning my vision red. That little bitch and her little boyfriend better hope that I never find them again, they’ll be nothing but a smoldering corpse on the ground. I won’t forget those masks or those voices.
Without a target to destroy, I turn my eyes on this Conduit-built haven. If I can’t take my rage out on those two thieves, then this will do just fine. The raining clouds above me and thunder starts to rumble as the anger and energy builds in my arms. I raise my arms and pull down as I unleash hell. My mouth opens and my chest tightens as black and crimson lightning crashes and strikes around me, hitting anyone unfortunate enough to be out at the moment. My throat stings and my vocal cords strain as I release every single ounce of rage on this town.
I pant as the storm ends, surveying the damage left behind. 8 blocks of town fucked up, buildings damaged, people screaming in pain or in panic, but nothing demolished. Judging how everything seems to be standing at all tells me that outbursts like mine aren’t uncommon, though probably weren’t ready for the kind of power I bring. I look down at my torn shirt and I growl in irritation. Just got this shirt too. I’ll be sure to take this slight out on that bitch’s ass too if I ever catch her again. I make a mental note to steal another shirt before I leave.
Speaking of leaving, I look out to the outskirts of the town. I got what I needed for the most part, my business here is done. I jump onto a wire and zip down it. The sparks lighting up the carnage around me I take my leave.
No point in sticking around in a place I’m clearly not wanted, after all.

80years in the future utopian vision(draft 1)
Food
Humanity has shifted to regenerative agricultural practices, with vertical and urban farms supplying local communities. Lab-grown meat, algae, and high-nutrient plants form the base of diets, minimizing land use and animal farming. Food is grown sustainably, with waste minimized through circular economy systems.
Water
Clean, potable water is universally available through advanced desalination, atmospheric water generation, and efficient recycling. Closed-loop water systems recycle water within urban centers, drastically reducing wastage and dependence on natural freshwater sources.
Housing
Modular, self-sustaining homes are accessible to all. Constructed from eco-friendly materials, these homes self-regulate temperature and harness renewable energy. Urban housing is designed with green rooftops, community spaces, and abundant natural light, fostering community living and well-being.
Education
Education is a lifelong, universal right, accessible through immersive digital platforms and personalized learning. AI mentors guide students according to their individual learning styles. Knowledge about sustainability, ethics, and mental health is integrated into curricula from an early age.
Healthcare
Preventive care is prioritized, with personalized healthcare plans informed by genomics and AI. Mobile health units and telemedicine make care accessible in remote regions. Advanced biotechnologies address genetic conditions, extending quality of life.
Social Equity
Economic policies focus on resource distribution, ensuring no person lives in poverty. Communities are empowered to govern their own social, cultural, and economic activities, supported by universal basic income and cooperative ownership structures.
Gender Equality
Gender equality is achieved through inclusive policies, equal representation, and a culture that embraces diverse identities. Social constructs around gender evolve to celebrate individual expression, and workplaces have achieved gender parity in all leadership roles.
Work & Income
People work fewer hours, thanks to AI and automation. Creativity, innovation, and social contributions are highly valued, and people have more freedom to pursue passions rather than just earning income. Universal basic income provides financial security for all.
Energy / Electricity
Renewable energy powers all infrastructure. Solar, wind, and fusion energy technologies ensure a clean, limitless supply. Localized microgrids power communities independently, and energy-efficient appliances reduce consumption.
Peace & Justice
Justice systems focus on rehabilitation, not punishment, with strong emphasis on mental health and social support. Diplomatic cooperation prevails over conflict, leading to a world where peace and restorative justice practices are the norm.
Transportation
Efficient, carbon-neutral public transport connects all urban and rural areas. Autonomous electric vehicles and hyperloop systems make long-distance travel fast and sustainable. Bicycle lanes, pedestrian zones, and green streets are prioritized.
Political Voice
Citizens engage directly in governance through blockchain-secured voting systems. Decision-making is transparent, and digital platforms encourage active public participation in policy formation and feedback.
Air Pollution
Advanced filtration systems, zero-emission vehicles, and reforestation efforts have cleansed urban air. Dense green belts and air-purifying plant species have been integrated into cities, creating "clean air zones."
Noise Pollution
Cities are quieter due to reduced traffic noise from electric vehicles and soundproof infrastructure. Green zones and sound-absorbing materials in building construction further reduce noise, creating a peaceful urban soundscape.
Non-Human Life

Technical requirements for the design of brake stepper motors
1.Function of brake stepper motors The main function of brake stepper motors is to provide sufficient static locking torque for the drive motor shaft in the vertical motion mechanism to prevent the motor shaft without brake from being in a non-locked free state when the system is accidentally powered off, and the load falls due to gravity. The brake stepper motor is equipped with a brake device (brake device) at the tail of the stepper motor, and when the motor is powered off, the brake is released and tightly holds the motor shaft, thereby achieving power-off self-locking. This design is particularly suitable for vertical motion transmission. When the stepper motor is powered off, the brake can be activated instantly to fix the motor shaft, solving the problem that the motor can still maintain a locked state when the stepper motor is powered off.
Tumblr media

Impact of Dust Penetration on Products and the Role of Dust Test Chambers
Tumblr media
Dust penetration into products can have significant impacts on their performance and durability: • Breaching Seals and Casings:Dust can infiltrate internal spaces through seals and casings, compromising sealing effectiveness and thereby affecting waterproofing and environmental adaptability. • Altered Electrical Performance: Dust particles can affect electrical performance by increasing contact resistance, track resistance, and surface leakage current, potentially leading to unstable operation or damage. • Impeding and Abrading Moving Parts: Accumulated dust on moving parts like bearings can increase friction, accelerating wear and adversely affecting product lifespan and performance. • Contaminating Optical Surfaces and Lubricants: Dust adhering to optical surfaces can impair visual quality and sensor accuracy. Additionally, dust contamination of lubricants can reduce effectiveness, hastening component wear. • Blocking Vents, Pipelines, Filters, and Operation Holes: Dust buildup can block ventilation openings, pipelines, filters, and operation holes, hampering heat dissipation, fluid flow, and operational performance. • Facilitating Wear and Microbial Growth: Accumulated dust can serve as nuclei for moisture condensation, exacerbating surface wear and potentially promoting mold or bacterial growth, affecting product hygiene and reliability. To mitigate the impact of dust on products, effective protective measures are necessary. Dust test chambers serve as crucial equipment for evaluating dust protection capabilities. The working principle of a dust test chamber involves using a fan to propel a certain concentration of dust particles at a specific flow rate over the surface of test samples. This assesses the sample’s defense capabilities and tolerance in dry, dusty atmospheres, including resistance to dust infiltration, resistance to abrasive damage or blockage, and testing storage and operational capabilities. Key Features: • Dust Propulsion by Fan: Internal fans propel a controlled concentration of dust particles at specific speeds over test samples. • Realistic Environment Simulation: The chamber simulates real-world dust and particulate conditions, exposing test samples to assess defense capabilities and endurance. • Closed-Loop Vertical Dust Circulation System: Utilizes a closed-loop vertical dust circulation system to ensure uniform dust circulation. Ducting and chamber design promote even dispersion of dust, ensuring test accuracy and reliability. • Mirror-Finish Stainless Steel Ducting: Ducting constructed from mirror-finish stainless steel facilitates smooth airflow, preventing dust accumulation or blockage within ducts. According to the IEC/EN60529 standard, dust protection ratings (IP codes) evaluate the protective capabilities of electronic equipment and are classified into 7 levels (IP00 – IP6X), as follows: • IP00: No dust protection; device lacks dust-proof features. • IP1X: Prevents entry of objects >50mm in diameter, effectively stopping large dust and objects. • IP2X: Prevents entry of objects >12.5mm in diameter, suitable for preventing medium-sized dust and objects. • IP3X: Prevents entry of objects >2.5mm in diameter, effectively stopping small dust and objects. • IP4X: Prevents entry of objects >1.00mm in diameter, suitable for preventing fine dust and objects. • IP5X: Device does not entirely prevent dust entry, but dust ingress must not affect normal device operation or safety. • IP6X: Device completely prevents dust ingress. Dust test chambers find primary applications in various industries: • Electronics Industry: Testing electronic product protection in dusty environments, such as appliances, motors, instruments, and meters. • Automotive Industry: Particularly useful for testing automotive electronics and components in dusty conditions to assess durability and reliability. • Lighting Industry: Evaluating performance of various lamps in dusty environments to ensure they remain functional and undamaged. • Aerospace Industry: Testing aerospace electronics and equipment for reliability and durability in potential dusty conditions. • Telecommunications Industry: Testing communication equipment for stability and reliability in dusty environments to ensure consistent operation in adverse conditions.

The working time of the device is adjustable, and it can work automatically and alternately. • There is a suction pipe in the chamber, which can complete the vacuum action on the sample (sample should reserve the suction hole position). • Dust chamber testing control system: 7-inch touch screen + Panasonic PLC. The dust blower, dust  vibration and total test time can be controlled separately. This controller has the following various arbitrary setting control functions: 1. Dust blowing time (stop, blowing): can arbitrarily choose any of continuous and periodic dust blowing time to setting; 2. Vibration time: vibration and stop vibration time are automatically alternated; 3. Preset test time: the maximum test time is 99 hours and 59 minutes; • Heating system: The circulating air duct is equipped with a heater to heat the dust to avoid dust condensation.

Trying not to make anymore text posts today but👀 a corten steel and concrete mixed unit apartment tower with vertical gardens lining multiple walls is calling me like a little fucking demon.
20-30% of the building’s area is dedicated to vertical farming, greenhouses, and communal gardens(this includes the intentional bee attracting gardens on the tiered rooftop)😮‍💨
10-15% of the space is used for shared amenities like communal kitchens, lounges, workspaces, fitness areas, and other social space.
The remaining 55-70% of the building houses the residential units.
Lobby, commercial spaces, communal areas (think co-working spaces), and vertical farming are located on the lower floors. Primarily residential units with additional green spaces and communal areas would be on the middle floors and penthouse apartments, rooftop gardens, and perhaps additional farming or green spaces are on the top floors. Which, makes this quite massive. Like 30-40 stories!😭
Solar panels and wind turbines integrated into the building’s design generate renewable energy, making the structure self-sustaining though! And an advanced waste management system processes organic waste into compost for the gardens, closing a loop on food production.
A rainwater collection system could even be used for irrigation of the vertical farms and green spaces, I think. Also for an hydroponic and/or aquaponic system?
