Organizational Strategy

Deployment of on-demand replicable right livelihood communities happens in 3 phases:

1. Pioneering life with deep exploration of technologies. Status - in progress 2. Replication as a 12 person, Buy Out At the Bottom (BOAB) Right Livelihood enterprise community (RLEC), where our notion of right livelihood includes priciples of open source economic development. This is an extension of the Hexayurt concept to the scale of a landed, autonomous, small community with a sound economic base as part of the package. See details of the BOAB RLEC below. 3. Internships at tha RLEC designed for immersion study to train other change agents to replicate similar communities.

Priorities:

• Open Source Solar turbine, potential components
  • Babington burner - http://www.green-trust.org/2000/biofuel/babington/default.htm
  • Flash boiler -
  • Solar concentrators - similar to http://www.redrok.com/images/hdsolar.jpg but mounted on flat panels for simplicity
  • Boundary Layer Turbine - http://openfarmtech.org/index.php?title=Solar_Turbine_CHP_System#Component_Design_-_Boundary_Layer_Turbine_.28BLT.29
  • Generator heads - not much available, but check out http://www.scoraigwind.com/axialplans/index.htm

Outcomes:

• commercial product via open source, distributed, flexible fabrication, at absolute lowest cost, $1/W

Means:

• fabrication optimization, and product in kit for user assembly

Other priorities:

• CEB
• Sawmill
• Multimachine - http://opensourcemachine.org/
• CNC control
• Electric motor
