Introduction
a. What is Feng-Shui?
Feng-Shui, also known as Chinese geomancy, is originating from China, which claims to use qi, an energy forces, to harmonize individuals with their surrounding environment.
Feng-Shui was widely used to orient buildings—often spiritually significant structures such as tombs, but also dwellings and other structures—in an auspicious manner. Depending on the particular style of feng shui being used, an auspicious site could be determined by reference to local features such as bodies of water, or stars or the compass.
b. How we measure Feng-Shui on Mars?
Our Feng-Shui Amulet consist six sensor which can measure six essential factors of Feng-Shui: Wind, Soil Water Content , Temperature, Humidity, Illuminance and Magnetic Field.
c. How these factors influence Feng-Shui?
Wind and Soil Water Content are two of the most important factors, since the term feng-shui literally translates as "wind-water" in English. If the wind is too weak, evil will accumulate and harm qi. However, if wind is too strong, qi will loss with wind.
On the other hand, Soil Water Content is important to ancient Chinese in a practical way, since agriculture is the main profession of ancient Chinese.
Process
a. Insert the Feng-Shui Amulet into the soil of the place you want to measure on Mars.
b. The Amulet will capture a panoramic photo, and measure the temperature, humidity, magnetic field, soil water content, illuminance and wind speed of the place.
c. The detector then uses wireless transmission to send data to a computer for analyzing.
d. The computer gathers and analyzes all the data, then inputs them into our Feng-Shui Calculating Formula ,which is base on I Ching, an ancient Chinese Classic about prophecy and Feng-Shui.
e. The computer will inform the user whether the Feng-Shui of the place is good or bad.
