==Silver==

[[Silver]] is the best ''known'' conductor, but in an oxygen rich environment it tarnishes. Silver is used in specialized equipment, such as satellites, and as a thin plating to mitigate skin effect losses at high frequencies.

In the Lunar outdoors, in a vacuum where it can't tarnish, silver would be a marginally better, if heavier, conductor than copper, and a way better, but much heavier, conductor than aluminum.

Silver is not known to be available on the Moon.

==Copper==

As a general conductor [[copper]] is the most commonly used on Earth because it's cheap, reasonably flexible, reasonably light and the 2nd best conductor and the best per unit weight. Copper allows for ease of soldered and crimped/clamped connections. It corrodes worse than silver, this is usually seen in older wires that have turned green.

Copper is not known to be available on the Moon.

==Gold==

[[Gold]] is not an especially good conductor at all, though it is better than aluminum but not per unit weight due to its much higher density. It is very expensive, but compared to the cost of transport to the Moon from Earth, the cost is not significant. Gold is usually only used as a conductor in very specialized applications such as very fine wires like those used to wire bond integrated circuits to their lead frames.

A more important everyday use of Gold is in [[Electrical Connectors|connectors]]

For connectors gold reigns supreme for several reasons 
:1. It doesn't tarnish (important on Earth, important indoors on Luna)
:2. It is soft, so you can make the connectors tight and they dig into each other forming a good connection.

Gold is not known to be available on the Moon.

==Aluminum==

[[Aluminum]] is commonly used as a conductor here on earth, in fact you use it every day without realizing it. High Tension cables have a steel core and an aluminum outer layer. It's used because losses are fairly low at 110kV and the weight of the cable and cost of the towers is important. Steel cored aluminum cable allows a longer span and is the most common form of aluminum wire used for HT lines on Earth.

One major disadvantage of Aluminum on Earth is that it corrodes rapidly in an oxygen atmosphere. The corrosion does not go right through however, only forming a thin layer on the surfaces exposed to oxygen. On the moon, in a vacuum environment, it would be an excellent material to use.

As a general purpose electrical conductor it's not great, but considering that copper is not readily available on the Moon there appears to be no choice but to use aluminum. This means regular supply voltages higher than 110V would probably be better. In some places on Earth it is illegal to use aluminum for general wiring mostly as a result of fire risk caused by contractors using too light a gauge in the past. The thin aluminum oxide coating makes connections unreliable and occasionally hot.

Aluminum is abundant on the Moon.

== Magnesium ==

[[Magnesium]] is not an especially good conductor, being less conductive than aluminum but it is lighter. It has some other major drawbacks which make it completely unsuitable for use in electrical installations. This metal burns in oxygen, or nitrogen (forming magnesium nitride) or even carbon-dioxide (forming magnesium oxide and carbon). Once burning, it's very difficult to extinguish. Magnesium also reacts with water.

This is a highly flammable metal, but while it is easy to ignite when powdered or shaved into thin strips, it is difficult to ignite in mass or bulk.

There are many other uses for magnesium but it is completely unsuitable for normal electrical wiring.

A possible fuse-wire material?

Magnesium is readily available on the Moon.

== Sodium ==

{{Disputed-section|Sodium Abundance}}

[[Sodium]] is about one half as good an electrical conductor as Aluminum. However, it is more conductive per unit weight. It is so abundant on the Moon that it is expected to be a significant by-product of the production of [[Volatiles]]. At room temperature it is a soft shiny metal and is easily worked.

It melts at a very low temperature (98 C) which can be both an advantage and a limitation. In use, care must be taken not to overheat it, but even this can be an advantage. Aluminum, in contrast, requires a very large amount of high quality energy to melt.

On Earth, Sodium has been used as an electrical conductor only in extremely unusual circumstances. The primary problems are that it reacts with oxygen and water, even the water in human skin. At elevated temperature, sodium burns in air near its boiling point at about 883 degrees celsius. Even at room temperature, sodium reacts with oxygen to form a nonconductive oxide. This is not a problem in external applications on the Moon as there is no oxygen or water at all. Indoors, the oxygen required by people would render wire made of pure sodium useless.

However, a patent is pending for a safe sodium wire that protects the sodium from the environment and furthermore has a number of safety features that prevent and extinguish fire. Additionally, the new wire is designed to operate even when the sodium is in the liquid state, a useful feature in a lunar environment where the lack of heat rejection can cause temperatures to climb above sodium's melting point. These useful features are provided with very little additional weight. The protective wall of the wire can be made with metals that are abundant on the moon.

http://www.google.com/patents?id=rXCoAAAAEBAJ&pg=PA15&lpg=PA15&source=bl&ots=UhNHfhOO18&sig=yWkPxHgd5rXcqaSP8CFxlhwnyyM#PPA1,M1

Sodium is available on the Moon. It is also available on the earth in massive quantities in the form of inexpensive ordinary salt. Sodium would appear to be the ideal metal for lunar electrical wire. Actually, considering the above pending patent, it would appear to be an ideal electrical conductor for many terrestrial applications.

== Potassium ==
The second least dense metal, after lithium. A soft solid that can be easily cut with a knife, it has a low-melting point. Freshly cut [[potassium]] is silvery in appearance, but in air a gray tarnish appears almost immediately.

Potassium must be protected from air for storage to prevent disintegration of the metal from oxide and hydroxide corrosion. Often samples are maintained under a reducing medium such as kerosene.

Like the other alkali metals, potassium reacts violently with water producing hydrogen. The reaction is notably more violent than that of lithium or sodium with water, and is sufficiently exothermic that the evolved hydrogen gas ignites. (This may only apply in an atmosphere)

Widely used in fertilizers as either the chloride, sulfate or carbonate - not as the oxide. Also used as a substitute for table salt and for stopping the heart, e.g. in cardiac surgery and in executions by lethal injection in a solution.

Potassium nitrate (KNO3), also known as saltpeter, is used in gunpowder.

Certainly not suitable for indoor wiring use.

Potassium is available on the Moon.

== Iron ==

[[Iron]] is widely used in many applications, not an especially good conductor, very prone to corrosion in a oxygen atmosphere.

Iron is rarely used in its pure form for anything. Even railroads use steel, an iron alloy, for their tracks. Not suitable for flexible wiring, too brittle. The lower gravity on Luna may make it usable for some outdoor electric railroad applications.

Iron is abundant on the Moon.

== Chromium ==

Not a very good electrical conductor by any means, but it does have its uses in this field. Chromium Boride (CrB) is used as a high temperature electrical conductor.

There are many other uses for this metal.

[[Chromium]] is available on the Moon. (Boron is not known to be available)

== Titanium ==

[[Titanium]]'s properties as an electrical conductor can best be described as ''hopeless''.

There are many far more suitable uses for this metal.

Titanium is readily available on the Moon.

== Manganese ==

[[Manganese]] is an even more hopeless electrical conductor than titanium.

There are many far more suitable uses for this metal.

Manganese is available on the Moon.

Wet workshop

2008-10-28T21:06:56Z

74.78.252.89: Fixed a typo

A '''Wet workshop''' is a proposed [[space station]] constructed in orbit from a spent rocket stage.

== Wet workshop studies ==
A wet workshop design was considered for the [[Skylab]] space station. A single S-IVB stage from a [[Saturn Ib]] rocket was to be used. However, when surplus [[Saturn IV|Saturn V]] rockets became available after the Moon landings, an S-IVB was outfitted as a space station on the ground, and flown to space atop a Saturn INT-20 (basically a Saturn-V without a third stage.). During the [[space shuttle]] program, the huge external fuel tank was considered to be outfitted as a space station but various problems and safety enforcements due the the [[Challenger]] disaster made this impossible.

== Problems and solutions to the wet workshop concept. ==
The major problem with wet workshop concepts is outfitting the fuel tanks in orbit. However, if the tanks were to be outfitted on the lunar surface it would make it much easier. Due to the fact that the Moon has negligible atmosphere, [[lunar lander|lunar landers]] need rocket engines to slow their decent. The decent stages of lunar landers, or cargo landers would be outfitted on the [[lunar surface]], and covered with [[regolith]]. The overall volume would be much greater then would be needed for accommodation of the residents alone, but the tanks could, for example, be used as [[greenhouse|greenhouses]]. The tanks could also be used to store [[oxygen]] derived from regolith, or be melted down for scrap. Already refined metal and plastics on the surface would be much easier to process than lunar regolith.

Harrison Schmitt

2008-10-28T05:03:59Z

74.78.252.89:

'''Harrison H. Schmitt''' is currently the last human being to have stepped onto the Moon. As an [[Apollo 17]] [[astronaut]] and geologist, he spent three days in December [[1972]] on the lunar surface, sampling, documenting, and interpreting the Moon's geological features and potential resources. Schmitt was trained at Caltech and at Harvard, where he received his Ph.D. in geology. He was first introduced into [[astrogeology]] by the late [[Eugene Shoemaker]], and was a Fulbright scholar in Norway in [[1957]]-[[1958|58]]. Schmitt has been involved in the space program, space science, and space policy for more than 40 years, including 10 years as an astronaut with [[NASA]], six years as a US Senator, and more than 20 years as a businessman and consultant. He is currently a professor of Engineering Physics at the [[University of Wisconsin]] in Madison.

You say, "robot proof of concept?"

MikeD says, "soil samplers"

You say, "It has the regolith. Now what?"

MikeD says, "not sure about that, there's also the issue of whether we want deeper samples"

You say, "There's plenty of groups working on this project. Who could we try to recruit?"

MikeD says, "there's really not a whole lot more you can do with a robot on Luna at the moment other than sample soil and rocks"

MikeD says, "the robots should be capable of networking, perhaps have each one perform different experiments, also have some duplication so you can allow for errors and faults"

MikeD says, "there is one fixed requirement, since they need to be solar powered, they need to be able to move quickly so they can avail of the 2 week day, none of this 3m/day NASA BS"

You say, "Operating temperture"

MikeD says, "they need to be small, cheap and dispensible"

You say, "How cold does it get at night?"

MikeD says, "near absolute zero"

You say, "We need heating for two weeks"

MikeD says, "I don't expect them to survive a night"

MikeD says, "you're thinking like NASA"

You say, "Q: is there feasibility for a shelt... no that only provides protection at noon"

MikeD says, "small cheap dispensible and fast is the requirement"

MikeD says, "underground is on luna is thought to be fairly warm right the way thru, warm enough for water not to freeze"

MikeD says, "Ireland winter temps"

MikeD says, "thinking about freezing"

MikeD says, "but digging a shelter could take longer than it's worth"

MikeD says, "nope, make em small and fast and dispensible and cheap and drop a whole bunch of them all over the moon"

MikeD says, "don't even have to target their landings, just work on averages, a sort of brute force and ignorance method"

You hmm.

You say, "Need a landing system"

You say, "What do we call this. Maybe stuff this entire discussion on Lunarpedia as a draft?"

You say, "At least the techtnical parts"

You say, "Mike's pondering for a followup for the microwave project"

You say, "Mike ponders a throwaway rover design as a followup to the microwave project"

You say, "Multiple fast-moving autonomous and not meant to last the night"

You say, "oh, and very cheap"

cfrjlr says, "need somebody willing to do the work"

You say, "Given the profile, I believe they also will need to be lightweight to reduce mass"

You say, "for the launch"

You say, "Radio Shack sells or used to sell a $300 kit"

You say, "complication is where to do it where maybe we can have more than just one person"

You say, "tinkering on it"

You say, "That is an obvious point. Who do we have who feasibly can do a bunch of the work"

You say, "I'd assume that they'ad be able to ask for technical assistance"

You say, "so a garage, time, and the ability to wield a screwdriver and other tools"

MikeD says, "all the best people we have for that kind of work are somewhat isolated from the rest of the core"

You say, "The concept appeals to me greatly, but my health is a liability and I lack a garage"

MikeD says, "to be honest, I don't think a mere garage would be big enough once it got beyond the initial design stage."

You say, "True, maybe stages need to be worked out"

You say, "initial tinkering, then what?"

You say, "try to sell it to Phoenix, St Louis, Calgary, et c. to adopt it for the next step?"

MikeD says, "nah, initial tinkering would be only to find a suitable base unit to use"

MikeD says, "you're basically talking about roving laptops, old stripped down laptops in all probability"

You say, "Maybe, but that's too expensive"

You say, "Software needs to run on embedded hardware="

You say, "ARM processors or the like, maybe even cheaper"

You say, "I suppose that provides some division of labor that can handle long distances"

MikeD says, "not at all, I said _old_ there are laptops out there in near pristine condition that are basically too old to be useful to most normal computer users, but you could install a stripped down version of linux on them"

You say, "But they'll still be x86. If you put x86s in them it's a poor comparison to what we'd"

You say, "use for the actual mission"

MikeD says, "this is only for a cheap proof of concept James"

You say, "What clamshell or portable systems have internals that are good for ripping out and "

You say, "installing in a different setup?"

MikeD says, "ancient Dells come to mind"

MikeD says, "as long as it has a pcmcia slot it's up to the job"

MikeD says, "or better yet a usb port"

MikeD says, "the more modern built in wifi would actually be the worst option"

Strangelv wonders what the processing hardware in the Radio Shack kit consists of

MikeD says, "that's only the robot, that's going to use pic chips, you need something to control those"
