Oekonux 4 OSE Presentation

  • Slide 1 - How to Build the World's First, Replicable, Open Source, Global Village
    • Promise: unprecedented quality of life and emergent small-scale republics as present system breaks at the seams
  • Slide 2 - You need to provide needs (an economy) - food, energy, housing, plus technology - then you build culture, social organization (peer governance, means of exchange), out with kleptocracy, funny money system
    • Pix of orchard, propagation nursery, chicks, goats, cordwood,
  • Slide 3 - Past work - land base, food/housing - tractor + CEB infastructure
    • CEB pallets, CEB pressing, tiller, backhoe, balespike, tooth bar,
  • Slide 4 - Present - samill/pulverizer/torch table/lathe/microtrac/incubator
  • Slide 5 - Main Present near-term goal - 3 month - close the food/energy/housing loop based on local ecology - 3000 brick per day CEB/3000 bf/d sawmill - tractor running on local pyrolysis oil with a steam engine
    • Details: Lathe and torch table open sourced
    • RepRap variant for fabbing grafting tools, etc
  • Slide 6
  • Slide 6 - That's all boring. What's the real story?
    • Veritable open engineering method to be developed
    • Challenge - beyond any known collab paradigm, physical plant necessary
    • Main challenge - peoples' conceptions
  • Slide 7 - What have we shown?
    • 10x reduction in price
    • Fungability via crowd source after technical due diligence is performed
    • Big Q - is this replicable and scaleable
  • Slide 8 - Present approach to open engineering
    • Limits of volunteers
    • Facility inadequacy in a bootstrap effort
      • Voluntary lifestyle of reinventing everything in infrastructure - as part of the experimetn
    • Latest news - working with bidding process and professionals at pay; due diligence for crowd funding - is this replicable/scalable to a full development platform
