Roberts, Steven K.
Abstract :
The Microship extends the design principles of BEHEMOTH which defined very loosely is a human/solar powered mobile workstation designed to render physical location irrelevant. The new project is an aquatic version of this, significantly updated to represent the capabilities of 1993-1995 technology. The author begins by discussing the layout and mechanical aspects of the yacht Microship. He goes on to discuss the computer systems in the yacht and communications. Power generation and management are then briefly discussed as are audio/visual components and safety/survival systems.<>
