Open Source Low Tech

Basics

• A Sort of "Sub Group" of OSE, similar to OBI and OCI
• It focuses on devices that are as simplistic as possible, and utilize few if any electronics or non-easily local materials

Current Projects

• Low Cost Wind Turbines
• Micro-Hydroelectricity
• Solar Stoves
• Solar Water Heaters
• Simple Handwashing solutions
• Rocket Stoves

Future Areas of Investigation

• Fluid Handling/Water Pumping/Simple Hydraulics
  • Chain Pumps , Rope Pumps , Water Screws , Water Ram Pumps etc
• Basic Pnuematics
  • Trompes , Aspirators , Gasholders etc
• Food Preservation
  • Solar Dehydrator
  • Efficient Brine->Salt Methods
  • Low-Tech Cooling/Refrigeration
• Sanitation
  • Essentially modernize/develop the Open Source Cleanliness and Sanitation Construction Set
• Culinary Equipment
  • Heat Storage Oven
  • "Pizza Oven"
  • Designs for Tandoor Ovens (could be made with a Ceramic 3D Printer , or just have tutorials on how to produce them etc)
  • Casting/Stamping Designs for Utensils, Pots/Pans etc
• More Solar Thermal work
  • Mainly:
    • Solar Air Heater driving a Humidity Pump
    • Solar Water Heater
    • Solar Boiler
    • Solar Furnace
• Stanscrap (to enable better documentation for all these projects)
