Summary: | New concepts for port design using indigenous natural processes are formulated and proposed which will provide cost effective solutions to the problem of port design in the new world of shifting defense realities. The concepts proposed are: (1) building the ports structure with electrolytic mineral accretion and dialytic ice formation, (2) cables and energy transmission from sea water, and (3) drydocks, lift bridges, various off-loading and port facilities by osmotic pump action is enhanced by counter current multipliers and exchangers. Desert land port facilities are accreted, cooled, and supplied with water by the action of evaporation osmotic pumps. This report has a large bibliography. |
