Progress Dec.25

Jellyfishes purposes

main purpose: air cleaner/purifier- inhale Carbon and exhale oxygen

secondary purpose: 

GPS network
cell phone tower
homeland security
-tracking
-security cameras

Power (nutrition)

-photo voltaic cells covering the membrane (skin)

alternate (back up power)
-wind turbines
-hydroelectric  (water from ocean)

Brains:

? gears, clockwork parts
   based on/ and giving props to ancient technology
   a mix of ancient and futuristic technology
 - based on the Antikythera mechanism- 


it was a hand-wound clockwork device used by the ancient Greeks to calculate the motions of the sun, moon and planets as seen from Earth, as well as to predict solar and lunar eclipses.

-self automated
-self replicating system
-rapid prototype ( each part is grown)
-at regular intervals newer, larger parts are created for all systems from the core outward

Lifecycle:

?spores
?or eggs are created (hatched in a nest)
-like fish eggs they stay attached to the adult
larve stage
-they feed off of the adult.
-the grow in proportion to the adult diminishing.
-the adult then becomes waste product
-the adult is broken down into carbon blocks that fall away
-the carbon blocks are dense, light weight, biodegradable, small bricks
