The podcast starts with the evolution of water management in the Netherlands and how the government of Netherlands does the very innovative selling of plots of water.  This podcast is great to understand how can seasteads help cope with the negative effects of global warming.      –––––SUBSCRIBE–––––iTunes: https://apple.co/2DD5f4uStitcher: http://bit.ly/2DwaIuK –––––LEARN MORE–––––https://www.blue-frontiers.comhttps://twitter.com/bluefrontiershttps://www.instagram.com/bluefrontiers/https://www.facebook.com/Blue-Frontiers-255004088265639/

This episode is about engineering and materials of seasteads. The episode’s guest is Professor Wang Chien Ming. Professor Wang is the Blue Frontiers’ advisor in structural engineering of very large floating structures. In this very entertaining and insightful episode, Professor Wang describes many examples of already existing very large floating structures. Professor Wang and our seavangelesse also speak of the nanomaterials that can make seasteads, such as graphene oxide, one of Professor Wang’s subjects of research, and what implications it would have.    1:14 Very Large Floating Structures 2:00 Stability on seasteads 2:30 Japanese 1 km floating structure 3:55 The speed of building floating structures 4:35 Coastal countries propensity to building floating structures 5:00 Floating tradition in Japan 5:40 Prices of floating structures 6:25 Examples of floating structures in the world: floating hotels, restaurants, docks, surfing docks, pools for surfing with natural waves, prisons, bicycle tracks, walking lane in China larger than Manhattan, floating golf course in Maldives, floating fuel containers, 1 km floating skyscraper in Japan 11:20 600 million floating forest project in Australia 22:20 Floating beach 24:00 Floating underwater bridge in Longyearbyen, Norway 31:45 Types of floating structures 33:25 Types of floating structures for seasteads (ponthoon and semi-submersible) 34:20 Station-keeping systems for seasteads 41:30 Professor Wang’s patent on Gill Cells for disturbing the buoyancy force 46:10 Tunnel liquid continuum Dampers 47:57 Carbon nanotubes and graphene oxide-reinforced concrete 53:17 Glass-fiber reinforced polymers 56:10 Professor Wang’s daily work 49:55 Properties of nano-reinforced concrete 59:07 Uses of nano composites on seasteads 1:06:30 Floating structure to tackle problems of the nexus 1:07:89 Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion 1:10:55 Wave energy 1:50:50 Fresh water lakes inside the ocean 1:15:00 Farming fish on the ocean 1:17:00 Underwater living   –––––SUBSCRIBE–––––iTunes: https://apple.co/2DD5f4uStitcher: http://bit.ly/2DwaIuK –––––LEARN MORE–––––https://www.blue-frontiers.comhttps://twitter.com/bluefrontiershttps://www.instagram.com/bluefrontiers/https://www.facebook.com/Blue-Frontiers-255004088265639/

The guest of this episode is real estate expert Karina Czapiewska, from the architecture firm Blue21. This episode is the first of the Floating Architecture, Engineering and Design Series of the Blue Frontiers Podcast. In this episode Karina speaks about architecture and design details of the Floating Island Project. Karina answers questions crowdsourced from Blue Frontiers' Telegram channel (Blue Frontiers Community) and its Facebook page. These questions are related to the architecture and design of the Floating Island Project. Karina also explains the difference between floating structures and processes such as land filling. She points out how the real estate industry is slowly opening to building floating structures on the ocean. You'll love this podcast if you are interested in moving to a seastead one day and want to customize your house and neighbourhood as much as you want. 1:20 Vegan seasteads2:31 Overfishing3:39 Blue Frontiers Telegram channel4:15 Cost of the Floating Island Project in French Polynesia5:37 3D printing and manufacturing of seasteads7:39 Building the Rotterdam Floating Pavillion9:10 Building the Floating Island Project in French Polynesia10:42 Creating habitats for fish and corals on seasteads and the influence on marine life on the design12:53 Underwater gardens and windows13:29 Underwater light pollution 15:17 If there was unlimited amount of money, what technological challenges there would be? 17:28 Melting of the ice caps18:40 Tsunamis on seasteads?20:39 Mooring systems21:07 Solar analysis and location of the platforms22:30 Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion OTEC24:04 Eolic energy24:40 Solar energy25:59 Materials for the seastead27:17 Size and connections of the platforms29:40 Floating bridge in Thailand   –––––SUBSCRIBE–––––iTunes: https://apple.co/2DD5f4uStitcher: http://bit.ly/2DwaIuK –––––LEARN MORE–––––https://www.blue-frontiers.comhttps://twitter.com/bluefrontiershttps://www.instagram.com/bluefrontiers/https://www.facebook.com/Blue-Frontiers-255004088265639/

This winecast episode is the first part of a 5 hours chat between Joe Quirk, the Seavangelist of The Seasteading Institute and co-founder and managing director of Blue Frontiers and Nathalie Mezza-Garcia, the seavangelesse of Blue Frontiers. This first part explains how our seavangelesse became so passionated about seasteading. This conversation will take you through Nathalie's journey from from fractals, painting and visual arts, to political science, to doing a PhD on complex systems studying the Floating Island Project, and then becoming our seavangelesse.
