Recomendations+for+transport,+energy+and+communications


 * Engineer Research**

The Recommendations for Central Town are applicable to the Whole Island. The Pneumatic Transport system is interconnected and travels the same as our trains today, stoppping at all towns. Central town however is the Central station/maintenace of the pneumatic tubes and good transportations will be managed in our town. The georthermal energy recomendations apply to both large scale and small scale locations. One geothermal generating station will be more than enough to power the whole island. With the Infrastructure recommendations ...again sand/mud is fortunaltey accessable and a great resource to use for housing/ infrastructure. To ensure that our Island is protected and remains sustainable we need consider alternative infrastructure options that minimize harmful damages to the environment both short term ( building stage) and long term.(blending in with the environment to preserve wildlife and crops of regions) We need to be considered of our surroundings in order to create a sustainable system of living. The natural elements need to be preserved !!!

** 92 x 0.27=24.84 ** ** Estimating 5 people per house = approximately 5 million homes. This provides an insight into how powerful this alternative energy source is. ** ** Philippines is roughly 5 times larger than the Island, Hence this energy source should be sufficient as the sole source of energy for the island. **
 * ENERGY **
 * Most suitable and sustainably energy sources for Central Town **
 * Geothermal Energy: **
 * ** Very powerful **
 * ** Efficient (Extracting renewable energy from the earth) **
 * ** Natural Process(environmentally friendly **
 * ** Relatively cheap **
 * ** Small (Geothermal heat pump)and large scale (Generating electricity through geothermal plant ) energy production **
 * ** Geothermal electric plants is on average 122 kg of ** ** carbon dioxide ** ** per megawatt-hour (MW·h) of electricity, about one-eighth of a conventional coal-fired plant. **
 * ** Being used in multiple countries such as the Philippines which receives 27% of its total electricity from geothermal energy. **
 * ** The current population of the Philippines is 92 million. Geothermal energy is supplying electricity to approximately 5 million homes. **

**How to make use of the hot water?**
 * By drilling wells and using natural pressure to convert eh hot water into steam. **** The steam can be brought by pipelines to power plants. In these plants the steam is used to power turbines, which can generate electricity **** . **
 * TRANSPORT **
 * General **
 * ** Electric bikes **
 * ** Electric scooters **
 * ** Bicycles **


 * Innovation **// (first proposed // // In 1812, // [|//George Medhurst//] // first proposed, but never implemented due to financial restriction and easy access to coal //// à //// steam trains. //
 * Above the ground tunnel railway system blowing ** ** passenger carriages through a tunnel ** ** that runs on pneumatic pressure. Pneumatic pressure is pressurised air and when released can create very large forces. **
 * How to build it: **
 * Steel -for the posts/rails/cart that carries app. 12 people **
 * Wood -supports the structure **
 * Polypropylene pipes for the tunnel-god under pressure and heat **
 * The polypropylene pipe will be laid between the rails, with a piston running from the top of the tunnel in a sealable slot in the top of the tube. **
 * A piston (a cylinder that is gas tight that compresses and releases) the piston will be used to compress the air and release producing a great force that will be able to push the cart along its journey. **
 * No costs except initial construction and maintenance **
 * Travels on average 10 m per second**
 * 10 x 60 = 600 m per minute**
 * 600 x 60 = 36000 m per hour**
 * This equals 36 km/hr**
 * Transportation of goods **
 * Pneumatic mailing system- polypropylene **** à **
 * ** system to deliver letters through pressurized air tubes **
 * ** Pneumatic post stations connecting post offices, stock exchanges, banks and ministries. **
 * ** Deliver parts quickly across large campuses. **
 * ** hospitals have a computer-controlled pneumatic tube system to deliver drugs, documents and specimens to and from laboratories **
 * ** A major network of tubes in ** [|**Paris**] ** was in use until 1984, when it was finally abandoned in favour of computers and fax machines **

Housing à [] []
 * INFRASTRUCTURE **
 * Sand and Mud mixture: **
 * ** No machinery required **
 * ** Man made **
 * ** Bags filled with sand and mud **
 * ** Accessible **
 * ** Found in abundance on Island **
 * ** Natural insulation **
 * ** Cool in summer **
 * ** Warm in winter **
