OVERVIEWOVERVIEW

Introduction Modes Of Operation Structure Properties Applications Conclusion

INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION

• Brain child of J.Storrs Hall

• In the words of hall “ A biological human can walk

through fog walls and the fog human can walk trough dumb-matter walls, Of-course fog people can walk through fog walls too”

INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION

NanotechnologyConcept of interlinking of small robots

together. Foglet can simulate any environment

by creating all sort of structures.

INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION

MODES OF OPERATIONMODES OF OPERATION

• Native Mode Mobility: Forming Different Structures

like Table, Chair etc.

• Fog Mode Static : Forming screens

On immovable objects like walls,

as Tv and Displaying Device.

STRUCTURE: FOGLETSTRUCTURE: FOGLET

• Foglet

Little Robots Of human cell size

• 12 arms pointing in all directions, each arm having four degree of freedom.

• Grippers at the End Of the arms for Interlinking

STRUCTURE: FOGLETSTRUCTURE: FOGLET

Foglets – Internal Schematic

STRUCTURE:GRIPSTRUCTURE:GRIP

• Grip is Hexagonal in structure

• 3 Fingers mounted on alternating face of a hexagon

• Socket betwwen it

STRUCTURE: FOGSTRUCTURE: FOG

• Foglet uses six arms to hold its neighbors in the

layer; layers are thus a 2-dimensionally rigid fabric of equilateral triangles.

• Space filled with foglet is called Utility Fog

PROPERTIESPROPERTIES

• Self-reproducing and Self-generating• Power : Hydrogen (stored) combined with

atmospheric oxygen to produce energy and collects water vapour for it’s separation. 700kw power consumed/cc for movement.

• Absolute movement speed 1m/sec.• Tensile Strength : 1000 psi• Can sustain 100 m/s sheer per mm of thickness

PROPERTIESPROPERTIES

• Specific gravity : 0.2

• Can contract upto 40% in any linear direction reducing overall volume by factor of 5.

• Components Proposed

Carbon

Aluminum oxide

• Microcontroller is used.

• Cost Issues:

Less than $0.00000000001

PROPERTIESPROPERTIES

• Foglet though heavier than air, it is programmed to simulate its physical property so that you can’t feel it .

• Individual foglets can communicate with each other.

APPLICATIONSAPPLICATIONS

• Can act as shelter, clothing telephone computer and automobile

• Can form your Home TV• Fill the cabin of the spaceship with

Utility fog never worry about floating out of reach of a handhold

• Inside spacesuit manages air pressure and make motion easy

APPLICATIONSAPPLICATIONS

• An appropriately house filled with fog will prevent its hosts from micro-diseases.

• Fog can look after children playing in the house for safety

• It can make car-seatbelts for safety.

• It can change the appearance of the car

CHALLENGES & LIMITATIONSCHALLENGES & LIMITATIONS

• Foglets are much bigger machines than most nano- tech conceptions.

• Fog cannot simulate anything requiring hard metal

• Lack of self-intelligence

CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION

• Utility fog will provide human with powers that approximate those of a fictional machine.

• It provides nano-technology replacement for all physical equipments we see around

• This technology is going to have very sound effect on future and the researches are going on this technnology to make it more compatible and sophisticated.
