10 | 49.32 | joules/cm^2 per hour | ||||||||||||||||||
11 | 1 | megajoule is enough energy to do serious hurt in a laser weapon, say to a kilo of mostly water... | ||||||||||||||||||
12 | 1000 | joules is enough to damage 1 gram of stuff, to break chemical bonds, or form them | ||||||||||||||||||
13 | 7.502027575 | hours to manufacture another cc of 'nano-slick', or about one day-night cycle (sun a full strength 24/pi) | ||||||||||||||||||

21 | This all produces | 1 | cc of 'nano-slick', worth | $10,100,000,000 | dollars | |||||||||||||||
22 | It is released into the world and doubles and redoubles for a month | |||||||||||||||||||
23 | 397,284,475 | grams float on the ocean surface, dispersed slightly so that it doesn't kill. | ||||||||||||||||||
24 | 10.74 | km^2 of ocean, barely even noticeable. | ||||||||||||||||||

30 | 0.02% | of the | 108 | ppm CO2 we want to remove, or | 0.016402971 | ppm | ||||||||||||||
31 | This is as far as it can spread in a single day, as the edges grew about 300 km in the last day. | |||||||||||||||||||
32 | 975.16 | km square + | 300 | km/day for | 15 | days is | 5475.16 | km square | ||||||||||||

34 | 1,109,161,278 | tonnes float on the ocean surface, dispersed slightly so that it doesn't kill. | ||||||||||||||||||

39 | 5,475.16 | km square + | 300 | km/day for | 120 | days is | 41,475.16 | km square | ||||||||||||
40 | As you can see, in another four months it can spread around the planet to overlap w/in ½ year... These are | |||||||||||||||||||
41 | numbers the Alien Zookeeper likes, but YMMV 8-P! Anyhow, we stop at one new continent and ~1gigatonne. | |||||||||||||||||||
42 | We run the whole thing for | 210 | more days, stockpiling | 232.9238683 | gigatonnes of materials. | |||||||||||||||

45 | What do you do with 233 gigatonnes of carbon-stuff? (besides feed the world, end war, etc.) I'm glad you asked... | |||||||||||||||||||
46 | ||||||||||||||||||||
47 | 2 | kg of basic foodstuffs, 'kibble' or 'manna', if you will, produced by | 22 | kg of nano-slick | ||||||||||||||||
48 | 154000000 | tonnes of food-making stuff, | 13.88% | of capacity. We could build food-makers and distribute | ||||||||||||||||
49 | them throughout the world, just by assigning some of our stockpile to the food-makers, plus a delivery system- airships! | |||||||||||||||||||
50 | Seven billion | 22 | kg F-Ms, each of which unfurls into a Manna (or Dogwood) Tree w/ | 5.945945946 | m^2 | |||||||||||||||
51 | of surface area. The airship needs 22 kg of payload capacity, or 22 kg plus itself worth of lift, from H2. | 44 | kg | |||||||||||||||||
52 | of lift would be | 33.35648148 | m^3, a bag | 3.993869504 | meters across filled with | 3.055555556 | kg of H2. The | |||||||||||||
53 | airships have a gas-bag SA of | 50.11152435 | m^2 and CS | 12.52788109 | m^2, which is | 1716 | watts in daytime. | |||||||||||||
54 | It travels with the prevailing winds and uses a ducted fan @ | 50% | efficiency, pushing air for reaction mass | |||||||||||||||||
55 | 858.1598545 | joules | 23.83777374 | kg of air | 6 | m/s for | 3.03952723 | m/s, or | ||||||||||||
56 | 10.94229803 | km/hr (a lifting body has more streamlining and surface area than the spherical balloon here... 8-) | ||||||||||||||||||
57 | Based on surface area and no other factor, each airship is | 185.4126401 | kg, more than four times its payload. | |||||||||||||||||
58 | 23 | meter gas-bags, with | 1661.902514 | m^2 SA and | 415.4756284 | m^2 CS, or | 6149.039301 | kg | ||||||||||||
59 | 7113.866038 | kg of lift less gas-bag and engines, 1g/J | 6205.959462 | kg of airship | 907.9065761 | kg of payload | 6.835460416 | |||||||||||||
60 | 28460.08055 | joules | 4553.612888 | kg of air | 2.5 | m/s for | 1.496346613 | m/s, or | ||||||||||||
61 | 5.386847805 | km/hr (again, a lifting body has more streamlining and surface area than the spherical balloon here... 8-) | ||||||||||||||||||
62 | With triple redundancy, each airship delivers | 41 | Food-makers, so we need | 512195122 | airships. | |||||||||||||||
