I haz a crazy idea

in steem-dream •  8 years ago 



all over the world...people who know me say

DUH !

......................................................................................................................................................................
As you may know...I wanna boat.
and I'm getting one.
I'm converting an old (pretty much a wreck) SeaCamper.
But I want MOAH.
suppose...just suppose..
that you take this idea.

.


.
add this idea


Solar

it can manuever like THIS

.


.

on the water

AND

on land.
a tiny house
a
(very SLOW moving)
motorhome
and
houseboat
all in one.
.
Now you have a small houseboat that can sail on the

WATER

or roll down the

ROAD.


(on the shoulder or in the Bicycle lane probably)
.
but wait
there's

MORE

just suppose
(I'm talking at YOU @solarguy)
that we knew a guy in China.
suppose we sent him the idea.
suppose he contacted a company
that made the solar parts.
they all come from China don't they?
Suppose we paid him in STEEM
and he bought them and shipped them to us?
.
But

WAIT

theres
yet

MOAH

(this is the crazy part)
suppose he contacted a company
with one of

THESE

.

.
an industrial size 3D printer.
They could PRINT the boat.
all in once piece
with all of the 'stuff'
( solar panels, batteries, motors, kitchen sink, potty, coffee maker, bed, kitty litter box, computer, etc...etc..etc..)

BUILT IN

then they could ship it to you
.
.
on one of these

.
where you want it to be delivered on one of these.

shipping and handling prepaid in STEEM
.
But
Wait.
Theres
.

STILL MOAH

suppose a deal
(smart contract on the block chain?)
was agreed upon
and they could sell the boat
all over the world
and send you a royalty.
.
All in crypto-monies.
?

Hi I just wanted to tell you I'm happy I saw you because I'm a republican and almost everyone I know is a democrat and I love politics and I had not seen anyone on here doing anything political so I will definitely look forward to your steems btw what do you think if everyone who voted for president Trump gives twenty dollars? BUILD THAT WALL!

go back and read some of my posts if you want political...been there done that.
thanx.

Thanks I will I can't understand how democrats instead of hoping for the best they want us to fail wish they would move somewhere else thanks for responding I appreciate it I'm going to check out your steems has a good 🌙 night

you're welcome..
have a good night too.

yes mate,go for it...its gonna look awesome

Well, I sorta built one already, except I made a trailer, rather than something self propelled. I had a budget of about $200, so power plant wasn't much of an option. I bought a welder and a half dozen bed frames from Goodwill, and learned to weld making it.

14' long on a 1930's ford axle, it's where I type from presently.

Now, I made it cheap, cuz I don't need much, and it's all used leftovers from jobs I've done. So it looks crappy. I didn't make it to be pretty, but to save time.

I've been considering the homeless, and Elon Musk's Hyperloop and how to view development holistically. A lot of folks don't care to, or can't, deal with the bureaucracy and entanglements that working a job, paying rent and taxes, cleaning under the washer and dryer, etc., take.

So people end up living on the street, where they cost businesses money by harassing passers by, and die too young.

It would be better for all concerned if something like you envision, and I built and live in, were made available to them.

On Mars, where Elon is going, there aren't going to be any McMansions for a long time. Engineers, miners, teachers and farmers are going to have to live in cramped quarters, and with their tools handy.

All of Musk's companies are actually designed to produce the infrastructure and services this Mars colony is going to need. What the people there are going to need to live in are like what I live in, a tool trailer with a galley and a bed. The hyperloop can transport their homes and offices to the job site, where they don't need to commute in dangerous Martian conditions. That's pretty much where he's heading, I reckon.

I mention this because it's kinda like what you're thinking, and what I did. Tomorrow I move my trailer to another job site, and the tools come with me. Cheap, quick, and easy.

We're not alone. There are a lot of people being priced out of home ownership, and paying someone elses mortgage (renting) isn't sound financial strategy for creating a legacy, or retirement.

The shipping containers are quite sturdy structures, and cost around $3k in good shape. They'd make a fine start towards customizable home/workshops. I know some folks living in them now.

Anyway, I have done some thinking on it, if you wanna collab.

certainly do.
I'm looking at takeing possesion of the SeaCamper about 1July.
I'll move it to a rental space I've located ....
then work on it until it's done.
I don't care if it takes years. I mean..what ELSE have I got to do?

Any and all suggestion will be gratefully accepted and considered.

Well, after seaworthiness and creature comfort, my first consideration would be input and output. At sea there's no deliveries of pizza or fuel, nor any septic tanks or dumps. Storage of all such things is pretty critical at sea.

Not so much on land, cuz you can just step right out and walk to where the goodies are, or the garbage goes.

I can add more when you're faced with work to achieve what you want. Of course, your goal is going to determine what matters. If you're gonna be at a dock, then it's much easier to deal with inputs and outputs, or on land, well, it's trivial.

It all depends on what your plans are.

not AT SEA
at LAKE..
or
inna river.

there are a BUNCH of rivers in the US of A..and lakes...and the intercostal waterway..
thousands and thousands of miles

I like the concept, but I wouldn't want a paddle as the propulsion system while in the water. Sorry, just the engineer in me coming out.

I like the way you think!
