Abstract

A method of producing a wall section is described. The method includes vacuum forming a carbon fiber sheet to a pyramidal mold core to create a first layer having a plurality of pyramidal shapes. A conductive frame is disposed on the carbon fiber sheet. A first set of solar panel post slots are trimmed from the first layer. Vents are cut in the carbon fiber sheet to expose frame connectors. The carbon fiber sheet is clamped to the conductive frame and wrapped around the conductive frame and over the first layer to create a second layer. A second set of solar panel post slots are trimmed from the second layer so as to overlap the first solar panel post slots. The second layer is trimmed to expose locking post slot areas. The method also includes affixing locking posts to the peaks of the plurality of pyramidal shapes.

Claims (31)

1. A method of producing a wall section, the method comprising:

vacuum forming a carbon fiber sheet to a pyramidal mold core to create a first layer of the carbon fiber sheet, the first layer having a plurality of pyramidal shapes;

disposing a conductive frame on the carbon fiber sheet, the conductive frame having a bird bone core, a plurality of frame connectors electrically connected to the conductive frame and a plurality of locking post slot areas;

trimming the first layer to form first solar panel post slots;

cutting vents in the carbon fiber sheet to expose the plurality of frame connectors;

clamping at least a portion of the carbon fiber sheet to the conductive frame;

wrapping the carbon fiber sheet around the conductive frame and over the first layer to create a second layer of the carbon fiber sheet;

trimming the second layer to form second solar panel post slots, wherein the first solar panel post slots and the second solar panel post slots overlap;

trimming the second layer to expose the plurality of locking post slot areas; and

affixing locking posts to the peaks of the plurality of pyramidal shapes.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

inserting a plurality of solar panels having solar panel posts such that the solar panel posts are disposed in the first and second solar panel post slots; and

inserting a connector rack securing the solar panel posts and electrically connecting the plurality of solar panels to the conductive frame.

3. A method of building a wall for a pyramidal structure, the method comprising:

providing a plurality of wall sections as described in claim 1 ;

connecting a first subset of wall sections into an outer wall, wherein the wall sections in the first subset include solar panels;

connecting a second subset of wall sections into an inner wall;

overlapping the outer wall to the inner wall by placing the solar panel posts of one wall in the solar panel post slots in the opposite wall;

in each solar panel post slot, inserting a securing post to secure the solar panel post in the solar panel post slot.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the wall sections in the second subset of wall sections include capacitor racks.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein each capacitor rack includes a honeycomb anode having electrodes formed into layers of a honeycomb lattice.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein each capacitor rack includes a honeycomb cathode.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the conductive frame is a carbon wrapped conductive frame comprising:

an outer shell;

a first insulative layer;

a first conductive layer of graphene embedded thermoplastic configured to conduct a negative charge, wherein the first insulative layer is disposed between the outer shell and the first conductive layer;

a second insulative layer;

a second conductive layer of graphene embedded thermoplastic configured to conduct a positive charge, wherein the second insulative layer is disposed between the first conductive layer and the second insulative layer; and

the bird bone core, wherein the bird bone core comprises graphene embedded thermoplastic.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bird bone core is configured to enable a flow of low pressure inert gas within the conductive frame so as to conduct an ionic current.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bird bone core is configured to enable a flow of low pressure inert gas within the conductive frame.
