The First Seastead is in the water

[Febo]

I am fascinated by your project!

I have few questions about your project:

How many seasteads are built already? How much do you plan to build?

What is the cost of one seastead?

How big is the living space in one seastead compared to apartment?

What are location requirements for your seastead (minimum and max. sea depth, can it be installed in the middle of the ocean?)

One is build. The one that should be fit on the spar yesterday.  As you can read here https://ocean.builders/seasteading/   when 20 people will apply and pay those 20 new will get produced.   I dont believe there will be many enrollment before Elwar will at least partially finished his. But I could be wrong.

Wish the best luck for project and hope that we will get to see more pictures/videos how it looks in reality.

Better move faster if you want to win. Think of a floating tunnel between nations... around the world... in the oceans. Submerged only 100 feet, it's going to be a hazard to some seasteads.


Crossing Norway's fjords is going to get easier with world's first submerged floating tunnel

Highway E39 in Norway is one of the most beautiful drives in the world, hugging the country's rugged west coast from Kristiansand to Trondheim.

It is 684 miles of unending scenery, including rivers and lakes, waterfalls and mountains and numerous fjords.

But if you look carefully at a road map, E39 is something of a dotted line. Each of the breaks occurs at seven fjords -- where drivers must put their cars on a ferry to get across.

This stop-and-start, sea-and-land journey takes 21 hours.

But the government of Norway has a plan.

Here is the first video in a series of videos we're doing about the seastead.

Very cool. I'm sold! Looking forward to the future videos and what the end product looks like.

How long is a boat trip to the mainland from where you are? It sounds like Phuket province is the closest urbanized area. Don't forget to load up on plenty of sunscreen!

Thanks for the update. Hope that it will be fully functional soon Nice to see how enthusiastic are people behind the project!

I think these high polluting countries get quite a bit of help from the media hyping their tiny eco friendly projects.

I see on Facebook posts about how great China is at building renewable energy. Even though they have full cities that are black from pollution.

^^^ Of course, with all the plastic floating around in the oceans these days, Seasteaders shouldn't have any problem with energy. Simply scoop it out, and burn it in the boilers for steam power.

Even better, maybe those plastics can later become a source of building materials for the seastead.

That's the spirit! Clean up the world for the benefit of those doing the cleaning.

And now they don't even have to wory about fresh water!


Graphene-based sieve turns seawater into drinking water

A UK-based team of researchers has created a graphene-based sieve capable of removing salt from seawater.

The sought-after development could aid the millions of people without ready access to clean drinking water.

The promising graphene oxide sieve could be highly efficient at filtering salts, and will now be tested against existing desalination membranes.

It has previously been difficult to manufacture graphene-based barriers on an industrial scale.

Reporting their results in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, scientists from the University of Manchester, led by Dr Rahul Nair, show how they solved some of the challenges by using a chemical derivative called graphene oxide.

Isolated and characterised by a University of Manchester-led team in 2004, graphene comprises a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. Its unusual properties, such as extraordinary tensile strength and electrical conductivity, have earmarked it as one of the most promising materials for future applications.

Alive and kicking. Been very busy. We're preparing to do a workshop teaching new seasteaders the basics.

We'll be doing a video about it.

That Chad guy in the videos has a wonderful, humble look to him. Is that you?

That would be me. Chad Elwartowski...hence the nickname 'Elwar'.

Nice to know you. Besides being quite levelheaded here in the forum, you look like you are that levelheaded guy out there on the seastead. Keep it up, man. We need more levelheaded people in the world.

Love your new video "What about the pollution?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t02KFwHDeKs

Have a few comments though. The waste that is treated in the video is plastic and ash that can be reused to build seastad infrastructure.

My question is about chemical waste like detergents, shampoos and cooking oil. Do you have any solutions what to do with this kind of waste.

Cooking oil can probably be recycled to bio diesel, but it requires chemicals that have to be managed carefully to avoid pollution.

Also any kind of oil leakage can be catastrophic for any kind of sea life or sea farm.

In my opinion the best solution to this problems is to avoid any kind of chemical that can be harmful for environment, but environmentally friendly solution should be provided.

Have you met that kind of problems in your seastad? What solutions for hygiene, cleaning and cooking do you have?
