  • Aqueous based life systems – everything digested in and made from water.
  • Water cycle to continuously purify and store fresh water.
  • Batch processing of food for safety and mobility; includes grinding, wetting, pumping, digestion, extraction, and dewatering.
  • Predefined and unique reproductive systems to insure consistent future generations.
  • Internally developed command and control systems.
  • Self contained engineering and change control systems (DNA) to improve designs over time.
  • Circulatory systems to regulate temperature and distribute nutrients.
  • Gas handling facilities to provide mass transfer of oxygen and removal of waste gases.
  • Convection, molecular diffusion, and fluid flow to extract and eliminate waste products.
  • Structural and mobility systems to provide freedom of movement and safety as needed.

As a chemical engineer by education, in a classical sense, my job was to build and operate production facilities that instantiated chemical processes like these that were invented and/or developed by others… my personal background:

  • CF&I Steel (Pueblo, CO) – supervised chemical section of the Coke Plant, scrubbing coal distillation off gas to remove valuable by-products.
  • Chemical and Metal Industries (Denver, CO) – supervised construction and startup of facility to produce antimony pentachloride, SbCl₅ (catalyst used in production of carbon tetrafluoride (CF₄), a refridgerant)
  • Portland General Electric (Portland, OR) – conceptual design of a plant to gasify coal and use the synthetic gas in an existing combined cycle power plant to generate electricity.
