worlds
Earth · Moon · Mars — one protocol, world-specific envelopes.
Grow-your-own energy and resonance harvesters useful on Earth, the Moon, and Mars under the same protocol with world-specific envelopes. The sun is still the harvest; resonance is still the frequency. Gravity, atmosphere, night length, dust, and water change how you build — not the ledger rules.
sun is the harvest, resonance is the frequency — on any world with a sun and a mass
invariants (all worlds)
- sun only primary. Electrical primary harvest is solar (or light taken from it). Resonance is match frequency, not a second source.
- ledger. Co-log drive (irradiance or mechanical) with output. Binary pass. Separate ledgers: electrical, biomass, piezo.
- schemes. grow_your_own_energyresonance_harvester
- lab log. locus-lab-log/1 + environment.world

Earth

grow your own energy
L1 collect. PV as today; tracker optional
L2 match. MPPT + electrochemical store; grid or island
L3 carry. PMMA fibre daylighting; green-window organism choice
L4 live. shade moss tray and/or green algae culture (open or sealed PBR)
L5 envelope. couple heat, decouple water — vapour barrier + dual T/RH
algae battery. default biomass store under fibre; discharge dry/food/hold
night store. electrochemical + optional biomass; night is hours not weeks
resonance harvester
RP0. 1 g foot traffic / sports / transit; f0 tuned for human bounce band ~0.5–3 Hz
drive. people, traffic, coordinated bounce

Luna
design envelope — no flight hardware claimed
Moon
g=0.165 · atm 0 kPa (vacuum — no convective cooling; no free oxygen) · solar TOA 1361 W/m² · ≈29.5 Earth days synodic; polar peaks of near-continuous light possible
No atmosphere attenuation; 14 Earth-day light / 14-day dark polar exceptions · Thermal ~100–390 K class · Dust: abrasive regolith; electrostatic cling; seals and optics critical
grow your own energy
L1 collect. PV or concentrator; dust mitigation (cover, electrostatic, vertical arrays); size for night
L2 match. MPPT + large electrochemical and/or thermal store for multi-day night; no grid
L3 carry. fibre or light pipe into pressurized habitat; avoid dust on collector
L4 live. sealed photobioreactor only (algae preferred over open moss); no open tray to vacuum
L5 envelope. pressure vessel is the envelope; heat rejection by radiation; water fully decoupled from vacuum
algae battery. primary chemical store for dark period complement; CO2 from crew loop
night store. dominant design driver — store for ~14 Earth days or polar site selection
resonance harvester
RP0. retune f0 for 1/6 g (lower restoring force or mass loading); crew gait / EVA / ISRU plant vibration
drive. crew traffic in habitats; treadmill / exercise as intentional drive; machinery vibration pads
notes. Plaza/court scale only inside pressurized volumes or as sealed deck modules; vacuum exterior uses vibration/ISRU coupling not open trampoline

Mars
design envelope — no flight hardware claimed
Mars
g=0.38 · atm 0.6 kPa (thin CO2; weak convection; dust storms) · solar TOA 590 W/m² · ≈24.6 h sol; seasonal + dust
≈43% Earth solar constant at TOA; surface often lower; global dust storms can crash G for sols · Thermal ~140–300 K class · Dust: pervasive; storms; PV and optics must tolerate obscuration
grow your own energy
L1 collect. oversized PV vs Earth; dust cleaning; diffuse-tolerant arrays; track storms in G log
L2 match. MPPT + store for storm sols; load shedding rules in lab-log notes
L3 carry. fibre into habitat; protect entrance optics from dust
L4 live. sealed PBR algae (CO2-rich ambient is a feedstock if scrubbed/conditioned); moss only inside wet volume
L5 envelope. habitat pressure; couple heat carefully; water loop separate from cabin electronics
algae battery. biomass store + life-support coupling; discharge food path more central than on Moon
night store. overnight store like Earth but cold-biased; storm store is the long tail
resonance harvester
RP0. retune f0 for 0.38 g; habitat corridors and gym decks; rover dock vibration pads
drive. crew + exercise + vehicle coupling
notes. Exterior trampoline not first path; pressurized deck modules preferred

| L2 Match + store | MPPT + battery / grid | MPPT + multi-day store or polar siting | MPPT + storm-resilient store |
| L3 Carry | PMMA fibre daylight | fibre into pressure volume; dust seals | fibre into habitat; dust on optics |
| L4 Live + algae battery | moss tray and/or open/sealed algae | sealed PBR only; closed water | sealed PBR; CO2 feedstock opportunity |
| L5 Envelope | vapour split wet/dry air | pressure vessel + radiative heat reject | habitat pressure + water/electronics split |
| M1–M5 Harvester | outdoor Lab/Plaza/Court | habitat deck / exercise / vibration; retune f0 for g | habitat deck / rover; retune f0 for g |
For similar membrane stiffness k and mass m, natural frequency f0 = √(k/m)/(2π) is independent of g; bounce drive force and sag under load scale with g — retune tension/mass for crew gait and desired amplitude.
path to usefulness

- Earth analogs — vacuum chamber fibre+PBR, multi-day store, dust-on-PV, CO₂ PBR, habitat-deck RP0 retuned for reduced g (harness / cables).
- Flight design packages — sealed P3, PBR algae battery, night/storm store, habitat-deck harvester (see SKU list per world).
- Lab-log everywhere — set
