Martian Hub

The goal of this project was to compromise with Mars and try to use its existing potentials instead of confronting it. One of the most common situations on Mars is hurricanes, and therefore, to compromise, we tried to use its high-speed winds. Due to the low air pressure, in order to produce proper power from wind turbines, the wind must be faster. The wind speed is relatively high in Martian storms, but to increase efficiency, we used the "Wind tunnel effect" to increase the velocity of the wind, according to which the wind speed increases as the cross section of a tunnel decreases. Thus, with the help of an arched structure and reducing the diameter of the tunnel and placing a turbine in the middle of the system. We tried to increase the efficiency of the wind system.

Along with these issues, we tried to look at the activities of astronauts as a source of energy. Converting  the energy of activities such as exercise, walking, swinging, etc. into electrical energy has become one of the methods of energy production for our Martian hubs.
