1. The minimal simplistic concrete slab design leads me to believe assembly line production could make it affordable. 2. I know. I'm from a 3rd world country. A Stalinist type gov program to modernize a 3rd world nation is what I was thinking(DON'T PANIC lol). 3. I guess helicopters and semi's...

Yes, He3+He3(Helium3+Helium3) I wanted to reduce radiators for the story, He3+He3 seemed like a good one. Do you know the Lawson criteria for it?

Wow, that's what I was looking for. I'll browse their site a little more, and call them up for some questions(won't have to hound you guys with my silly idea). Thanks BWV, and everyone else in the thread.

Henry Ford revolutionized the world with the assembly line produced cars. I think a house in the automobile price range will do the same. Specially for underdeveloped countries. A 40k-60k house like this will revolutionized society...

Semi won't get very far with roads like this.

@Astronuc, most aneutronic designs use D-H3. I've never seen anything on Helium3-Helium3. Are the fusion requirements to high compared to other aneutronics. I wanted to write a story on realistic fusion space travel like The Expanse. I wanted to use H3-H3 fusion rockets. But can't find any...

That's interesting. I'll look more into it. My worry was they'll come to California in mass when Vegas and Nevada start passing laws like that. What do you think of the factory built minimalist house idea? Not just for developed nations, but underdeveloped.

Thanks everyone. I guess a helicopter will do. My city's homeless problem seems to be increasing(California). "Las Vegas making it illegal to sleep in street" https://globalnews.ca/news/6141769/las-vegas-homeless-sleeping-downtown-illegal/ I wonder if it will cause homeless migration increase...

Mark44, I'm not familiar with hydrogen storage technology. I assumed storage of hydrogen has advanced since 1937. BWV, main battle tanks are heavy. Nothing to do with warfare.

Not a single house. Seems the airships part has taken up the discussion. The idea is a factory is cranking out houses daily(assembly line). A house like that seems simple enough for standardized assembly line production. My idea was more of house price reduction. Location is probably the...

Thanks Russ, wouldn't those type of hybrid airships far exceed any type of heavy lift helicopter. Seems like they can carry dozens of main battle tanks. Hydropower to convert water to hydrogen for lifting gas, and to charge batteries for ducted motor fans. Treehuggers will love it.

Airships seem to be making a comeback. I can't be the only one thinking of this idea. Minimalist modern houses built in factories and airlifted to location using airships. Lego assembled buildings too. Developing countries with no roads would benefit the most.

Thanks everyone. I'll call and go to my local Community College.

Hi, been lurking for 10 years. Never posted. edx.org has classes on aero/mech engineering. I lack the math and physics background to understand them. Math has terrified me since the 4th grade. We fear what we don't understand. I plan to take math classes at my local community college. If I...
