6A: Survival Kit on Ibu

When I started to do my assignment, I design the shape of the Ibu Pondok. From the website issued by lecturer, 1b, Ibu Pondok is Inter-Pondok Bastionary Unit. And it plays many important roles during the disaster. Its roles are stated as below:

• Central control
• Monitoring the activities in each pondok
• Where the pondok can physically link
• Eqquipped with the same provision as pondok
• Clinic
  
• Pondok detectors
• Navigation tools
• Engine- operated life rafts
• Sustaining 40 days/ nights of battering

For the aesthetic value, I designed the shape of Ibu Pondok in flower with six petals. From the image, the Ibu Pondok linked to 12 pondoks in the star shape with 6 angles.

It is the ways that the Ibu Pondok linked to the pondok.

The comparison of the size of Ibu pondok and pondok.

The image above showed the real situation when the Ibu Pondok floating with the pondoks.

For the structure for Ibu Pondok,

TNT- As a Novel Photocatalyzer,2008 – By applying TNT Photocatalyzer on the surface of the Ibu Pondok,purification of the polluted air can be carried on. Besides that, TNT can be applied easily on any surface for antibacterial protection to decompose organic compound or pollutant.

CHITEC: A Biodegradable Polymer for Residue Oil Flocsorb,2004- a natural, modified carbohydrate Biopolymer which has excellent properties such as bio-degradability,biocompability, adsorption property, flocculating ability, anti-bacterial property and polyelectrolisity. Most important, it is ecological friendly and suitable to be the material for the surface.

CX-Low Cost High Perfomance Mineral Filler from Waste Broken Matble -Turning Waste to Wealth,2007- mCC is cheap high performance calcium carbonate filler which has been reengineered in terms of physical and chemically for the specific need. The particle size of mCC is very small and resulted outstanding performance in construction. Absolutely, it is the best material for the base of the Ibu Pondok.

Hand-Lay Up Epoxy Hybrid Nanocomposites,2008- The epoxy/ clay/ glass fiber nanocompasites are produced by hand-lay up technique. Its flexibility allows the manufacturing of varieties shapes, since it has no size limitation. In conclusion, the excellent flexural properties and good thermal properties of the epoxy hybrid nanocomposites make it suitable to be used in the application of structural panel and wall tile.

A New Adhesive from Waste Polystryrene,2007- An adhesive product from waste polystyrene. The product showed the excellent physical and mechanical properties for the application on different materials, such as glass, wood, plastic and cardboard. So, it can be used in jointing the structural panel in construction of Ibu Pondok.

Material from USM’s invention made the structure of Ibu Pondok become firm and light enough to float at the surface of the water. In this plight, I believe that Ibu pondok can sustain and withstand the destruction of natural disaster, such as tornado, thunder storm and etc.

For the water supply in Ibu Pondok:

ULC Agro-fiber Modular Septic Tank,2006- prefabricated ISTs are made from fiberglass, a mixture of glass fiber and unsaturated polyester. It exhibited very high impact and toughness characteristics as compared to conventional fiberglass septic tank. Most important, it is cheap, light, chemical resistant, low thermal conductivity and environmental friendly, suitable to be water storage in Ibu pondok.

ClaySorb : Novel Clay-Based Adsorbent for Wastewater Treatment,2004- ClaySorb is clay-based beads of different sizes prepared by using economically processing techniques. It is very effective to adsorb different toxic pollutants from wastewater of textile, heavy chemical, petrochemical and refining oil industries. ClaySorb can be the important part of the purification of water to ensure the supply of water in Ibu Pondok.

For the communication and ventilation system:

Rice Husk Ash-Based Sorbent-Catalyst As A Novel Industrial Gas Cleaning Technology,2007- RHA/ CaO- supported cerium oxide can act as a sorbent to absorb SO2 and at the same time act as a catalyst to promote catalytic activity to remove N2O and NO. We can applied this High-Tec to clean the gas that produce in the engine room of Ibu Pondok .

Novel Dielectric Antenna For Wireless Application,2007- dielectric resonator antennas can have a wider impedance bandwidth than micro strip patches, a very high radiation efficiency, smaller than conventional metal antennas and more resistant to proximity detuning when placed close to another object. Its excellent properties can be used for received information from outside during the disaster.

MULTIMEDIA CONFERENCING SYSTEM (MCS),2006- MCS is a complete conferencing solution with audio and video conferencing, integrated chat and real-time document conferencing. MCS alsocan support video conferencing in H.323 mode. It can be used in Ibu Pondok in the conference among the Pondok’s captain.

The plan of the Ibu Pondok:

From the plan above, we know the overall structure of Ibu Pondok, some invention of USM can be used at here:

Engine room: This room can be a “heart” of Ibu Pondok, the engine generates the power and energy for Ibu pondok to move.

Activity Hall: Various types of activity take place at here, the people can gather at here for activity.

Library: Various types of book are arranged neatly on the bookshelf. The people can read the books at here.

Laundry: During the disaster period, it is hard to wash our cloth, so better to send to laundry to solve our problem. Heat Pump Assisted Clothes Dryer, 2004 can be used in this moment, drying of a batch of spin-dried clothes takes about 45 minutes for close system mode and 60 minutes for the open system mode compared to 150 minutes in a commercial dryer and more than 282 minutes for natural drying indoors. It help us to save our time to wash our cloth!!

Clinic: During the disaster period, various types of the disease are spread in Pondok, so a clinic in Ibu Pondok is necessary. Some invention of the school of pharmaceutical science can be used, for example, Haruan Spray for Burn and Wound, 2007 and Eurynones: A potential Herbal-based Antimalarial Product, 2005. Haruan Spray reduces pain by spraying the aerosol and makes the skin of patient feels comfortable. Eurynones soft gel capsule contain 50 mg of Tongkat Ali extract which has been manufactured by a novel extraction, purification and chromatographic technology.Eurynones capsule is recommended for malarial infection.

Conference room/ monitoring room: At this room, the important conference is carried out among the pondok captain. As stated before, MULTIMEDIA CONFERENCING SYSTEM (MCS),2006 can be used. Besides that, the movement and the situation of the pondok can be controlled at this room.
