In 2004 I got a PhD in plasma physics I made a major discovery. I discovered that I was useless. after all my years of scholarly training the further I went in my education and in my life the more useless I felt in terms of solving pressing World issues. So I started a farm in Missouri and learned about the economics of farming.
(I bought a tractor then it broke I pay to get it repaired then it broke again I'm pretty soon I was broke too. That's when I realized that the truly appropriate low-cost tools that I needed to build a sustainable farm and civilization just didn't exist yet that's how we got into the the global village construction set a set of the 50 most important machines that we we think it takes for Modern Life to exist my adventure has since transitioned 2 a general-purpose construction set)
That's when I formulated the global village construction set, set of the 50 most important machines that we think it takes for Modern Life to exist. Since then we have been prototyping and we're up at about 18 different prototypes up to small micro tractor the open-source seed Eco home and the aquaponic Greenhouse the global village construction set culminates in building real infrastructures from farms to construction to production.
Our next step is gross. We have achieved a number of significant Milestones such as the ability to produce our machines in a single day using Xtreme manufacturing which is crowd builds rapid crowd builds where a team of people works on all the different parts modular Parts in parallel and then assembles the product rapidly into it's finished form. We have seen that there is a revenue model in this immersion education production as we can both produce real products and provide immersion education our main challenge to date has been the skillset required for anyone to replicate our work. And for this reason we are welcome we are proud to introduce our first ever immersion program where we teach people are elusive skill sets the program is a 5-week immersion where we start with the open-source micro Factory tools. In the program our candidates will learn how to build a 3D printer a CNC circuit Mill a small laser cutter and a shredder and filament maker for producing 3D printing filament from scrap plastic. We are also including a basic form of clay 3D printing as well as metal printing using a TIG welder as pioneered by our collaborators from the Michigan open source technology lab.
