|
Operational energy provided by a combination of
highly efficient, photovoltaic, thermal storage, and gravitation
technologies |
|
Provides sewage disposal and treatment, potable
water, electrical power, heating/cooling and climatized, purified
environment for a conservatively estimated community of 200. |
|
Processes and purifies up to 5 million cubic
feet of atmosphere per acre per day of operation. |
|
|
|
|
Produces 14,000 to 30,000 gallons of potable
water per day for community or industrial use. |
|
Operates more effectively under heavy loads of
greywater processing. |
|
Can be retrofitted to existing structures. |
|
Extremely low-maintenance. |
|
Operation monitoring can be conducted remotely,
via telephone or satellite link. |

Crystal Energy : The DNA Home derives its shape from the DNA molecule, the
crystal which composes all life forms.
It utilizes these crystal properties to create a clear
environment. Lightning rods at the
peaks attract the electrical charge of the sky. Wires transmit the charge to quartz crystals at each point,
then down to grounding rods driven into the earth, thereby tuning the house
to the variable frequency of the Earth. |

Air/Heat Exchange : The windows exchange heat from warm interior air being
exhausted to fresh air entering. The interior air enters the inner window
space at the top and as it loses heat through the window as it sinks out
the bottom. The fresh air enters the outer window space at the bottom,
picks up the heat being released by the room, and rises into the room at
the top of the window. This captures about 85% of the heat from the
exhausted interior air, giving it an effective insulation value equal to
R-14, while the house has the fresh breath and scent of the outdoors. |

Solar Hot Water and Refrigeration : Solar collectors filled with Zeolite on
the south roofs heat the water and cool the refrigerator. Zeolite adsorbs ten times its volume in
water. Sunlight raises the
temperature to 200°F, evaporating the water out of the Zeolite. Pushed by vapor pressure, the vapor
condenses in butyl tubing within the hot water tank, transferring the heat
of condensation. The condensed water then flows down to the refrigeration
tubes. After sunset, the solar
collectors cool and the Zeolite adsorbs the vapor, dropping the system
vapor pressure to near vacuum. The
water in the refrigeration tubes evaporates with the drop in vapor
pressure, freezing the water remaining in the tubes. The ice in these tubes
maintains refrigeration during the following day. |
