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
