GANYMED THE CITY OF WATER

1
Ganymed, the city of water Is located on the
beautiful island Île aux Coudres in the
St.Laurence River The island is 113km north east
of Quebec City The island has the worlds lowest
rate of sickness due to Its exeptional climatic
and electromagnetic conditions Its situation in
the St.Laurence corridor garantees constant
winds, the flow of the river and a tide
differential of 4.80m

Biological water treatment plant waste water
shall be entirely treated on site with
bio-technology without any use of
chemicals. operation costs shall be not more
than 1/20 of the costs of conventional treatment
plants. treated water can be intercepted at
different stages for nutriment-controlled
irrigation. pollutant sequestering through algae
will allow for fish farming (tilapia)

Wind-Tide energy systems the energy needs of
Ganymed shall be supplied entirely by renewable
energy sources solar, wind and tide. The
special location of Ganymed allows for easy
exploitation of three energy forms that are
available in abundance

The Power of 180 sunny days in a year The Power
of relentless winds, never lower than 11km/h The
Power of the mighty St.Laurence River
13,000m³/s The Power of the Ocean Tides 4.80m

• Wind-Tide energy systems
• the energy needs of Ganymed shall be supplied
  entirely by renewable energy sources solar, wind
  and tide.
• solar heating during winter periods shall be by
  passive vacuum tubes
• heat to higher temperatures
• more solar heat exploits
• less maintenance
• more efficient for colder climates

Wind-Tide energy systems the energy needs of
Ganymed shall be supplied entirely by renewable
energy sources solar, wind and tide. wind
turbines shall be vertical for greater aesthetic
value and less hazardous to birds/wildlife. gener
ator shall be integrated into the wind turbine
without use of transmissions this allows for
smaller building (cost) in comparison to standard
horizontal wind turbines. the new generator
technology is characterized by constant
efficiency at variable wind speeds

Wind-Tide energy systems the energy needs of
Ganymed shall be supplied entirely by renewable
energy sources solar, wind and tide. The
amplification technology will exploit tide
differential (4.80m) and stream forces of the
St.Laurence river at the same time The
amplification technology stores surplus energy
that is not immediately converted into
electricity This surplus energy shall be stored
in internal chambers to be released during tide
transitions

• Food generation/aeroponics
• food generation plants shall interwoven with the
  waste water treatment and desalination plants.
• food generation shall be independent of seasons,
  climate changes or precipitation conditions
• Aeroponics (research funded by NASA) grows plants
  with the smallest amount of water and energy in
  the purest sanitary conditions
• Natural disease-free cultivation
• Controlled air- and CO2 -for optimal conditions
• Water and nutrient hydro atomization

• Seawater desalination
• Desalination shall be achieved by a new
  proprietary technology Displacement Desalination
• It will be achieving the same results than
  conventional reverse-osmosis, at only a fraction
  of the energy input

• This technology is being developed by Vertal
  Technologies (Canada)

School of Art, Design and Media at Nanyang
Technical University in Singapore Exploitation
of passive solar energy Semi-in-ground
construction for optimal protection From cold
north winds Green roofs for optimal insulation
during hot days Green roofs for rain water
reclaiming the hotel part would be built as
zomes, double-helix geodesic domes

SPA, water park Salus Per Aquam (latin for
health by water) Entirely chlorine/bromine free
aquatic environment Water used in this facility
is entirely reclaimed no tapping into municipal
fresh-water supply All reclaimed water is
biologically filtered to standards exceeding the
ones for potable water

SPA, water park Salus Per Aquam (latin for
health by water) The water used is not only
biologically clean it undergoes a continuous
procedure to be re-vitalized its original
memory, self purification and healing
capabilities once again uncovered The healthy
air of Ganymed (falling winds from the mountains
of Charlevoix enriched by marine dew) greatly
enhances the different forms of natural therapy
offered on site
