Engineering prototype based on the study of extremophiles

Abstract

This paper discusses engineering options for understanding how extremophile organisms might shed light on the possibilities of life on other planets. The study of extremophiles is responsible for the life that can exist in highly hostile environments on Earth, such as volcanoes, arid deserts, or domains with high salt concentrations. Engineering could be the essential tool to know unexpected life scenarios so that developments in this sense are proposed. The proposed prototype is generated from the analysis of extremophiles so that an engineering development suitable for adaptation to complex environments and valuable for the best human living conditions is possible. The main results show that a design with these characteristics presents more advantages than other technologies.
