undersea station & park | concept | studies
(Updated 02.04.2023) In this section we defined all potential sectors divided into operations and mission conduction. It contains analysis of similar projects, probabilities, potentials and benefits.
Our extensive analysis and proposals are part of the design manual.
We are happy to announce that Rob Bryan has joined our team as technical and business advisor.
Rob worked for the US habitat ‘Aquarius’ and has extensive experience as a saturation technician in the commercial diving industry. He has rebuilt 8-man saturation systems, several bell bounce systems and a larger number of deck decompression chambers. He is highly experienced in all phases of marine tourism, and is the founder of “Blue Heart of the Planet”, a public benefit corp for ocean conservation/restoration and sustainability.
He holds Master Degrees in Business (MBA) and Project Management (MPM) as well as a Bachelor in Technical Management (BSTM). He lives in Boulder, Colorado.
(Updated 22.06.2022: new structure of whole article) Solar power and an undersea habitat does not seem to fit each other. But in 2012 we had the idea of a device that opens its harvesters only if the conditions are appropriate just like a hibiscus blossom at dawn. We called it a Solar Lily.
This chapter is divided into the following sections:

By adding information about Conshelf IV and V the article on Wikipedia (german) concerning the whole series of Cousteaus Conshelf habitats is finally finished. It took a long time to gather all available data, but in the end the article deserves reading and provides plenty of valuable details for future endeavors. We tried to compensate the lack of free images by creating our own illustrations, which are free available on the media repository Wikimedia Commons under creative commons licence. We gladly assist anyone who is willing to translate the article to his language. Just drop a mail.
The same applies for the Wikipedia (german) article of Morgan Wells habitat BayLab, which is online as of now.

(Updated 04.04.2023: link concerning average need of water for a human being updated) Even though our station is surrounded by water we can not use it for most of our needs. Therefore for some demands we have to establish a sweet water supply. The easiest way is to bring sweet water from the shore and to fill corresponding tanks. Well, what kind of water do we need?

Here comes an interesting video of BayLab underwater habitat, which had its first deployment in October 2000.
To build an underwater habitat we have to know the measurements of human abilities, his limiting values and restrictions. In 2010 NASA published the Human Integration Design Handbook which gives answers to most of these questions. Though it is meant for space flight we can easily adapt most of it to an underwater application. The handbook is available as *.pdf on the server of our digital library. Contact Mart for access.
Mart will have a presentation about “Underwater habitats for use in marine research” at the eleventh annual meeting of the International Symposium on Underwater Research (ISUR). Hope to see you there.
16-17 Kasım 2018 tarihleri arasında, “Kemer Deniz Bilimleri Haftası 2018” kapsamında düzenlenecek olan 21. Sualtı Bilim ve Teknoloji Toplantısı’nda, “Deniz araştırmalarında kullanmak üzere İnsanlı Sualtı İstasyonları” başlıklı konu altında Mart tarafından sözlü sunum yapılacak.
