Engineering

Explore the six core subsystems that keep miniBIOTA stable, dynamic, and observable. Open any system to see its role inside the larger biosphere.

The chiller, pumps, plumbing, and heat exchangers that deliver thermal energy to the biosphere.

The cloud reservoirs and rain manifolds that collect condensate and distribute rainfall into the biomes.

The photoperiod and spectrum control that drives photosynthesis across all biomes.

The stepper motor and mechanical swash system that simulates tidal motion on the marine side.

The ESP32 nodes, SHT4x sensors, MQTT broker, and Opal micro-network that form the distributed nervous system of the biosphere.

The tanks, cabinets, ports, bulkheads, and sealing architecture that define the physical boundary of the closed system.
