In this page we try to pull it all together and design an infrastructure for a small seastead using as much off the shelf technology as possible. We will use products from the West Marine catalog.
Contents
Introduction
The basic requirements are:
- The seastead stays put away from any port.
- We start with solar/diesel power -- no wind and no wave for now.
- Sewage is carted back to port for disposal.
- Everything is as turn key as possible. It just works.
- Preferably no propane. If propane is required, propane sniffers are a must.
- Safety. Everything just safely shuts down if there are problems.
- Rough costs only. No need to shop around yet.
What we want is:
- A kitchen with a refrigerator, a sink with hot and cold water, a stove and an oven.
- A bathroom with a toilet, hot/cold water sink, and hot/cold water shower.
- A living room with enough power to run an audio visual center and a computer with Wi-Fi. No need to specify the A/V or computer equipment.
The required equipment is listed below.
Power Management
The power system will be based on batteries. Both the solar and diesel generator can independently charge the batteries.
- Batteries (how many? how big?)
- 120 Watt Solar Panel (WM#:8909350 ~$1000)
- Sun follower?
- Diesel Generator (auto start? How big?)
- Power management electronics
- AC Inverter

DC Equipment Vendors
Water/Waste Management
- Watermaker (w power recovery?)
- Seawater pump (to get seawater up to seastead)
- Fresh water tank (what size?)
- On demand water pump
- Hot water header (stored or on demand?)
- Sewage tank (what size)
Kitchen
- Refrigerator
- Sink
- On demand water pump
- Stove/Oven (electrical/propane?)
- Microwave
- Industrial food processor
Bathroom
- Toilet
- Sink
- Shower
Living Room
- AC Converter
- WiMAX Subscriber unit (such as this one)
Medical Equipment
- Automatic External defibrillator
- Oxygen – D sized cylinder
- Refrigeration (for storage of medical supplies, ice packs ect)
- Bio-hazard disposal
Fire/Damage Control
- On demand seawater pumps
- Independent fire extinguishers
- Respirators
- Emergency lighting/power generator
