It shouldn’t be used to play war with but yes, could be used for hospital ships or whatever we live in a scary world

I just read about his demise .

[@jeffturner6698]

Whoa, how about on the DCP(digital construction platform) adding solar collection material making the whole structure photovoltaic? Maybe even material that would allow it to self regulate temperature inside. Wow, he really gets you thinking on new levels. I especially like how he references the effectiveness and efficiency of nature( insects and beavers). Why dont we just reverse-engineer their structures?? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️👍🏻

Any update 6 years latter? Does any of theses promising technologie is now in production?

+Steven Keating I love your mind, but if you could think on on a truly organic scale: lets say for a technology that is appropriate for the impoverished masses first and make headway from there; I think your creations would more organically grow into a holistic system that on it's own can eventually learn to provide the best kind of "solutions" for humanity.
