Go Figure


We need something that summarizes what the engineer minded individual needs-to-know to properly build a survival site. If you have the answer to "xx" or "yy" below or have other useful items to add to the list, please let me know.

Water Needs:

Electrical Power:

Food Production:

Type of light EWatts/Sq Meter
LED (white) xx
LED (red & blue) xx
Tungsten Filament xx
Halogen flood xx
Florescent xx
Mercury vapor xx
Sodium vapor xx

Note: In the EWatts/sq meter column, EWatts refers to electrical watts or bulb input watts used to produce 1,000 Lux of light output at ground level). If one decides that it will take 4,000 Lux for the plants one decides to use then xx times 4 times the square area needed would give the electrical watts needed to power it and indicate the number of bulbs needed.

Survival Shelter:

Communications: (by ham radios) (voice, data, CW)

Offered by Mike.
