UTILITY FOG

INTRODUCTION

Invented by Dr.J.Stross Hall. Foglets consists of microscopic computers ,gears,motors with telescopic arms . Arms interlock power & communication. Individual foglets 2-3 % of space. TRANSPARENT UPCLOSE & CLOUDY AT A DISTANCE. Trillions of foglets- mass ,motion, appearance & strength.

STRUCTURE OF FOG

STRUCTURE OF FOGLET

DAILY APPLICATIONS

Paint the wall with U Fog. Make walls of U Fog . Can form any object. Obselete objects can form floor. Any hardness ,temp. Same precision as measured by human senses.

The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of :

Little robot called Foglet.-12 arms. Grippers at the end of arms. Present as well as absent-large structures. Foglets can simulate any environment-a park & at next moment a forest. In a room filled with Foglets walk without noticing anything.

MODES OF OPERATION

Native & fog. Native individual foglets move. Fog - move enmass Why we fill air with microscopic robots ? Completely imaginary construction Anything imaginable can be given tangible reality Bacteria sized pieces and stored Bridges physical reality and virtuality

Structure of Utility Fog

Nanotech designs based on carbons Forms a crystal which is very stiff and strong Structural element of Foglet made of aluminium oxide Inside this sensitive non mechanical components can operate Each Foglet has 12 arms Arms rotate on the joint at the base Gripper rotate about arm axis

Structure contd

Only load carrying motor is extension or retractor motor Swivel and rotate axis do not drive any kind of load Gripper-Hexagonal structure with 3 fingers on alt.faces of hexagon Forces transmitted axially through grip Space bounded by arms form alternate tetrahedrons and octahedrons Both these are rigid shapes

Movement of Fog

Fog consists of layers of Foglets Each Foglet uses six arms for interlocking with Foglets of same layer Thus 2-D rigid fabric of equi. Triangles formed The Foglets slides to change shape Fog moves an object by setting up a seed shaped zone around it Extension and retraction rate of arm-10m/s Avg. interlayer movement rate-100m/sec/mm of thickness of layer

Properties of U Fog.

U Fog - density- 0.2 ; tensile strength 100 psi Material properties are isotropic Without altering lattice connectivity Fog can contract to 1/3rd and reduce volume to 1/5th An appropriate mass or UFog can simulate most physical properties

THE GRIP

Foglets in detail

Foglets run on electricity They store hydrogen as energy source Foglets slide or move objects When 2 layers move past each other arms move 100 thousand times If this motion dissipative consumes lot of power Arms being pushed receive same amt. of energy

Foglets Internal Schematic

Communications & Control

12 arms & 3 axis control Simpler controllers give commands Each computer - nano watts Trillions of computers few kW heat produced Foglet when stationery- stand by mode this reduces 90 % heat generation

SYNERGISTIC COMBINATION WITH OTHER TECHNOLOGIES

Fog robot fog cannot do anything requiring high strength &power Tapping other sourcesof energy Solar energy Communicate with some person/terninal Within some specified area

PROPERTIES & USES

Extension of human being and his senses No permanent buildings ,roads,cars Park,forest, ancient civilization Efficiency increases- no wear & tear Storing information easier All physical possesion inside your pocket Monster computers Processor of foglet more powerful than supercomputer 26 million foglets /cu.inch

LIMITATIONS OF U FOG

outside the everyday exp. Things that fog isnt capable of doing: Hard metal-drill bit High strength & low weight High heat Anything req chemical transformation Food Can simulate wind but not air Unemployment

DESIRABLE LIMITATIONS

A person capable of projecting objects & forces anywhere in any form Who gets to control what a very contentious question Physical proximity Personal space This single protocol can prevent crimes and violence Physically perpetrated theft impossible

Advantages of U Fog Environment.

Car crash Fog house protection within 98%of lethal blast area Bacteria free Accidents in factories can be avoided Household accidents avoided- staircas, knife , bookshelf. Cleaning non existant Factories- transportation & operation of machines

SPACE EXPLORATION

The major sys Of space ships Fill cabin with utility fog -- never worry about out of reach of hand hold Any equipment can be simulated Non simulable can be embedded Fog inside space suit Surround space station with u fog-radiation shielding Tourists take along batch of heavy duty u-fog

CONCLUSION

Using the mass computing power contained in these trillions of foglets they could be programmed with a wide spectrum of behaviours that mimic materials of different mass,motion appearance and function which will enhance the capabilities of human race in the coming generations . The illutions which we see in films and we have dreamed of can be implemented using the capabilities of utility fogfor which research is going on in a high pace.
