Rugged Clothing
This catalog page is all of the camping and travel equipment in the catalog. These include portable shelters, other provisions, and rugged clothing produced by a nanofactory. Some of these entries are duplicated on other catalog pages such as the "front" page or the "new" page. Additional product details and specifications are available for some products by clicking on the product picture. In development means that the product is in the engineering phase and should be available some time after nanofactories are developed. Speculative means the products are as yet just an idea.
Food Machine
Makes tasty food from any biomass. Just stuff whatever plants or animal matter into the input hopper and miniturized chemical processes deconstruct it and reconstruct it into your desired dish. The Food Machine has a large chamber at the top to accept the biomass, which locks at the beginning of the process. A combination of heat and enzymes break down the biomass into simple amino acids and simple carbohydrates. After thermal depolymerization the molecules are sorted and routed to the production tracks. Some production tracks use lab-on-chip technology, others use molecular mills to produce the food precursers. The starches, proteins, and fatty acids of various lengths and properties, and also vitamins are routed to the product assembly chamber (below the input chamber) and are assembled into the finished product by micro-mechanical techniques. $7.99 Speculative.
Protective Bodysuit
Constructed from a matrix of diamondoid and carbon nanotube lattice plus an array of molecular machinery for added functionality, the suit is bulletproof, and when wearing the hood (not shown) it filters the air you breath. The suit monitors the occupant's physical condition and will go rigid to prevent crushing or to distribute force. Also limits flexibility to a safe range of motion. Provides protection against infectious and chemical agents, and with the ability to inflate itself can provide temperature insulation, buoyancy, and injury stabilization, plus a safe comfortable harness for vertical work. Depending on amount of inflation, it can provide impact protection or even partial free-fall protection. It can gather a little solar power. It can also control humidity and keep out environmental toxins (smoke, poison ivy, military chemicals). With enough power, it can provide cooling. $14.99 Speculative.
Camping tent
Unfolding from pocket size, this tent is perfect for hikers traveling light. Constructed of nanotube fiber material this tent is light and strong. It unfolds itself for for quick set up, and refolds itself when no longer needed. The dome design self inflates in less than 10 minutes with strong shock-corded Carbon nanotube fiber pressurized integrated supports. Rectangular floor maximizes space for gear and people.
Tent body features no-see-um mesh panels for ventilation, and the full-coverage waterproof diamondoid cloth rain fly has a clear WeatherWatch window to let in light. Sealed seams keep water out. Front and back doors make it easy to get in and out.
Capacity 6 people. Peak height 6'3". Packed size 10cm x 8cm. Total wt. 6 oz., or 19 lbs pressurized. $9.99 Speculative.
