Combine Function Concepts to Form Alternative

Design Concepts

Combining of Compatible Subfunction Concepts

Total Concept I =​ Have one transparent dome designated for

farming + Dome and cylindrical portion will protect from
sandstorms and wind + Self-adjusting heater that has thermometer
to regulate air temp + Hydrogenated boron nitride nanotubes +
 Energy floor/solar + Habitat will have nitrogen extracted from
the atmosphere and oxygen produced from splitting water
molecules. Farm dome will have carbon dioxide extracted from the
atmosphere + Dome would be transparent to allow optimal sunlight
+ One main airlock on the entrance to the outer dome + Have a
second non-transparent dome designated for living

Total Concept II =​ Farming will be done in the dome portion on

top, with access to the living spaces down below + Outside dome
would be made of (tougher material) Inside dome would be made of
translucent acrylic or polycarbonate + Self-adjusting heater
that has thermometer to regulate air temp + Hydrogenated boron
nitride nanotubes + Solar Panels with wiper to clear sand +
Habitat will have nitrogen extracted from the atmosphere and
oxygen produced from splitting water molecules. Farm dome will
have carbon dioxide extracted from the atmosphere + Farming dome
is transparent for sunlight + One main airlock on the entrance
leading down to main living area + Living space would be
underground with farming portion breaking above the surface

Total Concept III ​= Have one transparent dome designated for

farming + outside dome made of regolith + Hydrogenated boron
nitride nanotubes + Self-adjusting heater that has thermometer
to regulate air temp + Energy floor/solar panels + Habitat will
have nitrogen extracted from the atmosphere and oxygen produced
from splitting water molecules + Farm dome will have carbon
dioxide extracted from the atmosphere + Dome would be
transparent to allow optimal sunlight + One main airlock and a
tunnel that connects the two domes and can act as an airlock +
another dome for living quarters
