INTRODUCTIONUtility fog-Envisioned by Dr.John Storrs Hall in 2001
Based on concept of Molecular Nanotechnology
Conglomeration of 100 micron Robotic cells or Foglets
Programmable to simulate most physical properties
Mainly applied in Space Exploration
BEHIND THE SCENE The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of
A little robot called FOGLET consists of human cell size deviceBigger than most nano-tech conceptionsSwarm of Foglets is called Utility FogCan simulate any environment It enables
-Creation -Levitation -Manipulation -Teleportation -Shape-shifting
Fiat 500
MODES OF OPERATIONBasically two modesA. Native mode
B.Fog mode
Mobility Concept - Foglets move in different directions and perform mechanic al operations
Example: Table- solid and locked
Fan- solid component with moving joints
Static Concept- Static foglets ‘Pixelate’ to transmit information and sound
Example:Display screen on
immovable objects with 100 micron resolution with a processing power of 286 PC
EXPANSION OF A FOGLET
HOW TO BUILD A FOG?Exoskeleton made up of Aluminium oxide
Each foglet has 12 arms arranged on faces of Dodecahedron
Arms with swivel joint at the base
4 degree of freedom
3 grippers on each arm for interconnection between foglets
FOGLET IN DETAIL
FOGLET-INTERNAL SCHEMATIC
Spherical central body-10 microns
12 telescopic arms-50 microns long and 5 microns in diameter
HYDROGEN FUEL TANK- Hydrogen ions combine with oxygen to produce electricity and water vapour as by product
Communication-Takes commands from user, processes using pre-processor and passes results among other foglets
THE GRIP
Four basic Components1.COUPLERS - Communication and Power Control
2.OPTICAL WAVEGUIDE - Communication from user
3.POWER AND ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION LINES
-Power Supply in the foglet
4.GRIPPERS - Locking foglets together
INTERLINKING OF FOGLETS
Foglet
PROPERTIES Microcontroller based system
700KW power consumed/cc for movement
1m/sec absolute movement speed
1000 psi tensile strength
Individual foglets can communicate with each other.
Can contract upto 40% in any linear direction Specific gravity 0.2 and occupies 10% of the volume of air
USES AND APPLICATIONTo build efficient machines for long distance information propagation and physical transportation
For local use and interface with worldwide network
Space Researches- Manages pressure in space suits- No worries on floating off the ship
Shape shifting reduces wastage of space
Enables efficient use of resources
Life made easy
ADVANTAGES OF AN UTILITY FOG ENVIRONMENT
Major advantage for space-filling Fog is safety
Fog forms a dynamic form-fitting cushion
Protect its inhabitants from the (physical) effects of a nuclear weapon
All the physical manipulation, transport, assembly, and so forth would be done by the Fog
Limitations Can be seen only using Holographic lens
Cannot simulate very hard metals
Lack of self-intelligence
Cannot handle anything requiring chemical reactions
Cannot form food or water
Cannot produce high temperature
CONCLUSIONReplacement for all different technologies around us
More compatible and sophisticated form expected
Such powers, as in magic, that we turnout to be witches and wizards
Wonder World making life easy and lazy
