- <p>A complete engineering roadmap for building eight PAO‑framework prototypes — from a €100, 4‑day benchtop experiment to a €120k propane ORC engine. Each prototype is designed to test a specific falsifiable PAO prediction using standard laboratory equipment.</p> <p> </p> <p> Three priority tiers:</p> <p> </p> <p>**Priority 1 (start now, single person, university lab access sufficient):**</p> <p>- P2: Chitosan‑BioSilik nanocomposite — room‑temperature glass synthesis, €3‑8k, 2‑4 months</p> <p>- P4: VitriPAO biological glass — tardigrade‑inspired enzyme preservation, €5‑12k, 2‑3 months</p> <p>- P7: SelectPAO water filter membrane — selective heavy metal removal, €4‑10k, 2‑4 months</p> <p> </p> <p>**Priority 2 (3‑6 months, small team, glovebox or electrochemistry lab):**</p> <p>- P6: Chitin piezoelectric energy harvester — shoe‑insole power from walking, €10‑30k, 4‑6 months</p> <p>- P3: Na‑ion battery with NaTFSI electrolyte — testing NaTFSI (N=88.876) vs NaPF₆ (N=79.69) cycle life, €15‑40k, 4‑8 months</p> <p> </p> <p>**Priority 3 (requires funding, multi‑person, specialised equipment):**</p> <p>- P5: Propane mini‑ORC exhaust recovery — propane (Δ=0.029) vs CO₂ (Δ=0.075) efficiency test, €40‑120k, 8‑18 months</p> <p>- P8: Perovskite LSC solar roof — luminescent solar concentrator for vehicles</p> <p>- P1: ZnO QD FRET lamp (already documented separately)</p> <p> </p> <p> What each prototype proves about PAO:</p> <p>- P2: Si(OH)₄ (N=71.011★★) better than TiO₂ as filler</p> <p>- P4: Ectoin (N=77★) raises glass transition temperature vs glycerol</p> <p>- P7: Chitosan N=79 zone controls pH‑dependent ion selectivity</p> <p>- P6: Oriented chitin (N=84★★) enhances piezoelectric output >2×</p> <p>- P3: NaTFSI near N=89 gives +15‑20% cycle life vs NaPF₆</p> <p>- P5: Propane ORC (Δ=0.029★★) outperforms CO₂ ORC (Δ=0.075★) by 1‑3% absolute efficiency</p> <p> </p> <p> Complete step‑by‑step protocols, shopping lists, supplier codes, safety notes, and budget breakdowns. Every measurement is unambiguous. Both confirmation and falsification are valuable scientific outcomes.</p> <p> </p> <p>The cheapest prototype costs €100 and takes 4 days. Buy chitosan, order TEOS, start.</p> <p> </p> <p>Open research. No patents. CC BY 4.0.</p>
