i have been brainstorming an idea for nearly 3 years now on a deep sea platform... the logistics of an operation such as this would be immense ... this i am aware of my reasoning to bringing my idea to light in this particular forum, is the nature of what is involved should such an idea progress beyond mere thought, and the nature i expect from those who also have an understanding of what is currently being undertaken "behind the curtain."
the platform would consist of:
an aquaculture facility for the production of supplies and emulsion (for the construction of actual soil for plants)i could go into further detail but at this point will keep it short.
the possibility for power in such a location is limitless, for the progression of the construction of the platform most power would easily be obtained through the implementation of solar collection.
in terms of scale for this platform my main concern is keeping the platform stable until construction to the sea bed is achieved. the ideal location for my proposed idea would be near a large underwater thermal vent (one with no marine life) and using a large bedrock creating a "hotplate" for the hydroelectric system (note: this is also a possible source of fresh water without using a desalination system).
well its 3 am i'll leave it here for now but the eventual objective is to have a complete selfcontained living environment where when people want to eat they simply walk to a tree or wet a line in the seatanks. the idea is to create enough clean energy to not only sustain the facility but any nearby landmass's as well
