Invent Your Own Challenge
Create Eco-Economic-cycle in moon with Mushroom!
Summary
It's been about two years since NASA announced that there was an iced area (Ice Queen ) in Antarctica on the Moon.There is almost no sunlight in this ice recessed area. Among this environment, the food that grows with oxygen, heat, and cellulose is the wood ear mushroom, ancient born Mushroom witch has 300 million years ago π Wood ear is calcium and vitamin D-rich, can be used for the circular economy agriculture.The major issues are energy supply! Generating and filling oxygen from water, and supplying electrical energy. If automated agriculture of the first infrastructure is possible, a new economic trade area will be created in the moon
How I Addressed This Challenge
Purpose(Why is it important?):
TO LET HUMAN ANS NATUE LIVE FOREVER
Very simple, in order to enable human beings all over the world to live happily in any environment in the future without extinction, we can live in a restricted harsh environment and organize know-how and success models (archive) And to prosper.
This can be demonstrated in extremely cold environments such as the Arctic and Antarctica, and in high-pitched environments such as deserts.
WHY ON MOON?
There is no guarantee that we will be able to cope with and live in the event of unexpected environmental changes such as meteorite impacts and nuclear explosions in the future.
Challenge(What does it do?):
CREATE ECO-ECOLOGIAL-CYCLE WITH MUSHROOM
The challenge this time is to organize (archive) humankind through manuals and demonstration experiments that allow humankind to have abundant personality even in a harsh environment with insufficient sunlight, ultra-low temperature, and a lot of radiation, which is the ice soil area of ββthe Antarctic on the moon.
In order to create a rich living environment, we will approach from 2 cyclical perspectives.
1 .Create sustainable nature environment that meets a certain standard of living for food and people to live by building a biological eco-cycle.
2.Create a sustainable economy where further cultural prosperity can be continued in the economic environment with sustainable eco-cycle.
Goals of Challenge(How does it work?):
Milestone1: Infrastructure
ENERGY SUPPLY
Provide a generator mechanism that uses a low-temperature Stirling engine that supplies electrical energy that generates and fills oxygen from ice.
Milestone2: ECO-System
Food supply:Starting Make possible mushroom culture on moon but with very specific conditions and for a certain specie of mushroom with automation.
Using the mushroom compost will grow crops and vegetables atuomation factory
Milestone3: Economic-System
Circular listing of the first infrastructure If mushrooms and agricultural products generated from agriculture can be processed and sold, a new trade area can be created in a month.
Demonstration experiment(What do you hope to achieve?)
1 Infrastructure experiment:
γ»1-1) Development view of utilization of space low temperature Stirling engine
ECO-System experiment:
γ»2-1) Mechanism of space mushroom cultivation kit
2-2) Python program for emitting temperature and humidity data of mushroom to backend sever using Arduino.
γ»2-3) Backend program code. System accuire iot data. Analyze and send notification of warning mushroom environmental call using twitter and slack bot as for demo
ECO-System experiment:
γ» Business model of circular economy farming
Conclusion:
Creation and Exploration to other galaxy is not only to find the outer-space lives. It is to find our live in earth to adapt into muti-environment. Moon exploration is not aimed for EGO it is for ECO
How I Developed This Project
Milestone1: Infrastructure Development
How to develop 1-1) Development view of utilization of space low temperature Stirling engine:
We believe that the solution to the energy supply problem lies in the low-temperature Stirling engine (which uses the thermal expansion and contraction of Argon gas or water to move the piston for power generation).
Since we have a track record of using low-temperature Stirling engines in space satellites, we think there is a possibility.
Argon gas, which occupies most of the atmosphere on the moon, has a lower thermal conductivity than helium. Therefore, it is a difficult problem that expansion and contraction are small. In the satellite, thermal expansion and contraction are small in vacuum, so thermal expansion and contraction using cooling water is used. This may be the key to the solution.
How to develop 2-1) Mechanism of space mushroom cultivation kit
Benefits of indoor mushroom cultivation β Five M
γ» Does not require soil(Myco ism)
Characteristics of mushrooms when grown on trees no need to create soil in space
γ» Cultivation in the space anywhere(Micro Agriculture)
Space away from the ground with little sunshine
γ» Temperature / Humidity / Oxygen (Method easily)
Grow with environmental control
γ» Easy to move about 1kg to 500g (Movative)
γ» Investment in growth equipment is less than other agriculture (Micro Investment)
2-2) Python program for emitting temperature and humidity data of mushroom to backend sever using ubuntu linux base Node.js Module
