ive been working on shelter structures, and power systems with these ideas.
trying to abstract away from tradition, building codes, and other inefficiencies, to innovate using the cheapest, and most maintainable materials available. His ideas are inspiring here…
Any funky power systems you’ve personally got going on?
I built two 5kwh storage systems using as few moving parts as possible, so they are more easily maintainable, using LiFePo4 cells. Theyve been our primary source of power for 4 years now. We charge them with solar, and augment with small charging generators in the winter. Next power generation project is a simple waterwheel, with a truck alternator. The key though, for us, has been to see what things we can remove from mainstream power dependency. i.e. laundry, refridgeration, etc. It's been working for us.
