Are you a fan of the original Hellsing, the Ultimate, or both? =) I haven't seen the reboot, can't say if it's good or bad, but then again never interested in it. We also expect Big MOXIE to be the size of a small chest freezer and to weigh about 1 ton.Whenever i ask why BZ is so "very very bad" i get silence and the negative reviews aren't any insightful either. We expect that the astronauts would need at least 25 kilowatts of power for their mission, and that the Big MOXIE relies on being able to use that power plant for making oxygen until the astronauts arrive. And it would need to do that all day and night, without stopping, for most of the 20 months. That means the Big MOXIE would need to make 2,000 to 3,000 grams of oxygen per hour, compared to the 6-10 grams that the current MOXIE is making. The goal of a Big MOXIE would be to make and store all the oxygen that the astronaut and their rocket would need for their mission before they even launch. If we do that, then the base would be in place for about 20 months before the astronauts start their trip. When we send an astronaut crew to Mars, one idea is to send all the things they'll need – a place to live, rovers, a power plant, and maybe a "Big MOXIE" – on one launch opportunity, then send the astronauts on the next opportunity, 26 months later. So instead of using hydrogen, MOXIE is an example of a solid oxide electrolyzer cell that uses carbon dioxide to make the gasses carbon monoxide and oxygen.Įarth and Mars line up for a trip every 26 months. Fortunately, though, another source of oxygen is all around us, in the form of the carbon dioxide that makes up most of the Martian air. But to get water, we would have to travel to the far north or south to find ice, or to mine for ice buried deep in the ground. Using water to make oxygen on Mars would be a great idea if we had easy access to the water. The two devices, the fuel cell and the electrolyzer, are nearly identical devices, operated in a very different way. ![]() A hydrogen cell of this type, in contrast, would start with the water and use electricity to turn it back into hydrogen and oxygen. The most common example is the hydrogen fuel cell, used in some automobiles, which combines hydrogen and oxygen to make water and electricity. In a fuel cell, fuel and oxygen react to make energy (electricity) and a stable chemical product. MOXIE is an example of a "solid oxide electrolyzer cell," which is a fuel cell that runs in reverse. That destructive process is called "coking." The carbon deposit itself is called – coke. Whenever we run MOXIE, we need to be very careful with the settings to make sure we only produce carbon monoxide (CO), and not pure carbon, which would ruin it. On Mars, MOXIE is the first to use carbon dioxide to make – well, anything at all. to use carbon dioxide (CO 2) to make a beverage fizzy. According to some accounts, the Moxie company was the first in the U.S. ![]() ![]() The connection with soft drinks doesn't end there. You can still buy Moxie in New England, and it's considered the official drink of the state of Maine. Haystack Observatory where the MOXIE principal investigator works. The soft drink, Moxie, was invented in the late 1800s in Lowell, Massachusetts, not far from the M.I.T. The word "moxie," used to describe someone with spunk and audacity, came from the soft drink of the same name. ISRU is another acronym, In Situ Resource Utilization, which is a technical way of describing what most of us call "living off the land." MOXIE stands for the Mars OXygen ISRU Experiment. To produce oxygen from the Martian carbon-dioxide atmosphereĪbout 37.7 pounds (17.1 kilograms) on Earthģ7.7 pounds on Earth, 14.14 pounds on MarsĪpproximately one hour of oxygen (O 2) production per experiment, scheduled intermittently over the duration of the mission. MOXIE will test a way for future explorers to produce oxygen from the Martian atmosphere for burning fuel and breathing. The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, or MOXIE, is helping NASA prepare for human exploration of Mars. MOXIE Lowered into Rover: Technicians in the clean room are carefully lowering the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) instrument into the belly of the Perseverance rover. ![]()
