SCGFAMP – Sample Grids Based on Basic Modules
The SCGFAMP system is built around a set of combinable modules designed to produce mechanical, hydraulic, or energy-based effects without the need for electricity. Even with only the basic modules, it is already possible to assemble functional GRIDs for concrete applications. Below are two developed examples based on such modules, followed by an outlook on future possibilities.
Example 1: Autonomous Pumping GRID
This GRID is based on the SCGFAMP+M+ module, which generates air pressure through gravity. This pressure is then used to move water through a pumping system, without any motor or electricity.
Modules used:
M+: Descending mass compressing air
Air compression chamber
Air redirection valve
Water transfer reservoir
Discharge pipe
Applications:
Crop irrigation in remote areas
Filling elevated water tanks
Emergency humanitarian aid
Example 2: Modular Power Production GRID
The SCGFAMP+E uses the same gravity-based system as the M+ module, but converts mechanical energy into electricity via an air compression chain and a micro-turbine.
Modules used:
G+: Descending mass
Cp: Low-pressure air compression
Slow-speed turbine
Cyclic regulator
Micro-generator
Applications:
Recharging LED lights or radios
Micro-power generation for off-grid shelters
Powering sensors or communication modules
Outlook: Future GRIDs and Extended Modules
Other GRIDs are currently under development based on advanced modules like SCGFAMP+E+ and SCGFAMP+E++. These systems integrate a minimal external energy boost (5W solar panels, piezo elements) to increase their cycle rate and production.
Envisioned examples:
Desalination GRID (cyclical pressure + membrane)
Autonomous mechanical alert GRID
Hybrid water/electricity GRID for agriculture or camps
These use cases demonstrate that SCGFAMP is not just a unique technical tool, but a flexible architecture platform for energy and water systems across a wide range of contexts.
