INTRODUCTION
. Utility fog-Envisioned by Dr.John Storrs Hall

in

2001
. In the words of hall : A biological human can walk

through fog walls and the fog human can walk trough dumb-matter walls, Of-course fog people can walk through fog walls too . Based on concept of Molecular Nanotechnology . Concept of interlinking of small robots together. . Foglet can simulate any environment by creating all sort of structures

EXPANSION OF FOGLET

MODES OF OPERATION

Native Mode Mobility Concept - Foglets move in different directions and perform mechanic al operations Example:Table-solid and locked,Fan- solid component with moving joints Fog Mode Static Concept- Static foglets Pixelate to transmit information and sound Example:Display screen on immovable objects with 100 micron resolution with a processing power of 286 PC

STRUCTURE: FOGLET
Foglet

Little Robots Of human cell size 12 arms pointing in all directions, each arm having four degree of freedom. Grippers at the End Of the arms for Interlinking

STRUCTURE: FOGLET
Foglets Internal Schematic

STRUCTURE:GRIP
Grip is Hexagonal

in structure 3 Fingers mounted on alternating face of a hexagon Socket betwwen it

STRUCTURE: FOG
Foglet uses six arms to

hold its neighbors in the layer; layers are thus a 2-dimensionally rigid fabric of equilateral triangles. Space filled with foglet is called Utility Fog

PROPERTIES
Self-reproducing and Self-generating Power : Hydrogen (stored) combined with atmospheric oxygen to produce energy and collects water vapour for its separation. 700kw power consumed/cc for movement.

Absolute movement speed

: 1m/sec.

Tensile Strength : 1000 psi Can sustain 100 m/s sheer per mm of thickness Specific gravity : 0.2

Can contract upto 40% in any linear direction reducing overall volume by factor of 5.
Components Proposed: Carbon,Aluminum oxide Microcontroller based system Cost Issues: Less than $0.00000000001 Foglet though heavier than air, it is programmed to simulate its physical property so that you cant feel it . Individual foglets can communicate with each other.

APPLICATIONS
Can act as shelter, clothing telephone computer and automobile Can form your Home TV Fill the cabin of the spaceship with Utility fog never worry about floating

out of reach of a handhold Inside spacesuit manages air pressure and make motion easy An appropriately house filled with fog will prevent its hosts from microdiseases. Fog can look after children playing in the house for safety It can make car-seatbelts for safety. It can change the appearance of the car

CHALLENGES & LIMITATIONS

Foglets are much bigger machines than most nano-

tech conceptions. Fog cannot simulate anything requiring hard metal Lack of self-intelligence Can be seen only using Holographic lens Cannot form food or water Cannot produce high temperature Cannot handle anything requiring chemical reactions

CONCLUSION
Utility fog will provide human with powers that approximate those of a fictional machine.
It provides nano-technology replacement for all

physical equipments we see around This technology is going to have very sound effect on future and the researches are going on this technnology to make it more compatible and sophisticated.
