Symbiotic relationships nanotech. Solar Home Principles and Design by David W. Allan. The home is basically designed to be warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

There is plenty of solar energy. The problem is how to store it and optimally use it for self sufficiency. Nature gives us three methods of heating: convective, conductive and radiant; radiant is by far the most pleasant and desirable. Using these three methods, the home is designed so that each room is almost a zone to itself. The numbers before each point correspond to the illustration above. 1.

Michelle Ewens March 24, 2011 The concept of utility fog – flying, intercommunicating nanomachines that dynamically shape themselves into assorted configurations to serve various roles and execute multifarious tasks – was introduced by nanotech pioneer J. Storrs Hall in 1993. Recently in H+ Magazine, Hall pointed out that swarm robots are the closest thing we have to utility fog. This brings the concept a little bit closer to reality. For instance, a few years ago Dr. However, if a future foglet ever became conscious enough to dissent from its assigned task and spread new information to the hive mind, this might cause other constituent foglets to deviate from their assigned tasks. Eric Drexler, who coined “grey goo” in his seminal 1986 work on nanotechnology, “Engines of Creation,” now resents the term’s spread since it is often used to conjure up fears of a nanotech-inspired apocalypse.
