ChickenHole Base Ep 24: Big Supply Drop



I show the new toys that I bought for the project and get the #2 greenhab ready for plants.

  1. Hi cody. I come from country where almost everyone has some sort of cabin, or remote garden. People live in a town and spend most weekends on the cabin. Some even live there most of the year and come back to town only for winter. I think its the same concept a CHB.

  2. I think Cody missed an important point. It doesn't matter at what temperature the water undergoes a phase change. That isn't what cooks food, the temperature is what cooks food. Sure would play a role in certain things like baking and how fluffy something is but the food will still cook.

  3. Run ins with government before, I hope the planners are more accomadating than the nuclear watchdogs. Its understandable people want to visit and see what your doing but some will try to stare in your bedroom window. Difficult to divide but you are a born problem solver.

  4. The first CHAPEA crew is more than halfway through their year-long mission, which began on June 25, 2023 and is scheduled to end on July 6, 2024. Now, NASA is seeking applicants for its CHAPEA 2 mission, which is expected to kick off in spring 2025. Applications are open to the public through April 2, 2024

  5. I have a friend that had a similar dilemma. He ended up parking a trailer that was falling apart at the seams on his property and hooked up a basic septic field and that was his legal dwelling. Then he had a shipping container dropped off which he finished and furnished and with the help of a friend he tapped into the septic so he has running water and a full bathroom inside it.

  6. You'd pop your ears and perhaps boil gases in your blood if you varied your "kitchen pressure" too rapidly. I don't remember what the Spacelab did, perhaps it only reheated foods where the ambient air pressure did not matter, and did not attempt to cook from scratch. You're certainly right that any serious excursion to Mars would not pressurize an entire area for the sake of supporting personnel and cooking activities at the same pressure. For one thing there would be the need of pressurization and depressurization of humans entering and leaving these areas, which takes a considerable amount of time and could be accident prone. This happened during joint Soviet and US space missions since the Soviet standard was to support earth sea level standard mixtures and pressures of atmospheric gases while the US standard was to use nearly pure oxygen at about 20% the pressure at earth sea level.

    If you're thinking of forward looking research, perhaps look into designing cooking apparatus that will work automatically in a special pressurized area. Some things will be more practical than others. A quiche will be easier to bake than it will be to fry an omelet. (One very homesteady thing you can try is freeze dehydrating eggs. Access to significant degrees of vacuum will be simple on the Martian surface.) Waffles will be easier than pancakes to make. And so forth. If you wanted all the comforts of earth you should have stayed there. But if you are satisfied with only getting some, that's a different story.

    To kind of contradict myself: a really big Mars base might be able to support a pressurized cooks' quarters with its own atmospheric pressure and gas mixture, with supplies and food being passed in and out through airlock chambers. But would it be as cramped as your steel vessel? I don't think any voluntary cooks would consent to this. Might as well just build a spacious structure open to earthly air pressure if this is what you want to simulate on earth. Use that tank to hold supplies.

  7. There is a individual, whose channel name is WOT, he has a video called 'DIY Well Drilling Using a Hand Drill.' It seems fairly economical AND usable in terms of a water well. It doesn't seem like a pain to do either. I would have a gander at that video for some inspiration.

  8. I’m so happy you finally got you payment and to see you look happy, that you for not stopping your videos believe it or not you’ve been my favorite YouTube channel for 10 plus years ! Wow

    Can you please bring a bee hive to mars 😅

  9. Cody, I studied architecture in Reno for a couple years. One of the professors was an amazing thinker and engineer. His and your interests are very similar. A lot of his designs utilized nature, wind and solar/thermal heating and power. He assisted me with the ever difficult engineer stamp for a home i built a few years ago. If you would like I could provide his name. Please reach out to me if interested.
