About

With PV Solar Energy at 25 cents per watt, end dropping to 15 cents by 2030, humanity has reached a point where renewable energy is almost free. This makes the current, minimum, theoretical cost of solar hydrogen production 41 cents per kilogram - see logic at Hydrogen 101.

Based on this Minimum Cost Solar of 0.3 cents per kWhr, new opportunities arise for solving the last frontier of economics - Distribution. The relevance to OSE Work is housing, which can now include Zero Energy operation, and furthermore, include a Solar Hydrogen Filling Station, food production through an integrated landscape and Aquaponic Greenhouse, water generation from the rain and atmosphere, and digital fabrication as part of a fully decentralized production ecosystem of open, collaborative design. A large part of this concept involves creating a community of expanded consciousness which champions and demonstrates abundance economics through the discipline of integrated, open design.

Enterprise Models

For this to happen, OSE is pursuing several enterprise models for deploying the Seed Eco-Home package as above:

  • Core Enterprise Model - 24 student cohort in a work-study program that is designed to be like college, without debt. The program involves custom homes and infill spec housing, and includes a final exam in the form of a 3 day productization design sprint with 240 people for a new product in the product ecology, going through the 40 OSPD design-build+enterprise steps. The other part of the exam is providing a 2 week Builder Crash Course to a workshop apprentice who signs up for a a swarm immersion experience.
  • SEH Microenterprise - basic solopreneurship model with a crew leader and 4-6 workers as a replicable enterprise
  • SEH Franchise - a 4 year program for running a franchise based on the Core Enterprise Model, setting the conditions for replicating lifelong learning opportunities at scale within the lifestyle engineering market of Productive Housing.
  • Campus Enterprise - a 240 student, scale-up of the basic education-production model, which produces 500 homes per year with a theoretical net revenue of $50M and Revenue Per Employee Ratio of at least 1. This is the basis for funding new campuses worldwide, yraining a potent developer base capable of opensourcing the economy on a time scale of several years at the GVCS 2.0 level of technosphere. This.operation is capable of producing startup settlements on a timescale of of one month with a total team size of 500 people, building 40 homes in 10 days through modular build swarming.
  • Modular Microhouse Enterprise - specialty, multipurpose,mobile structures. small, transportable units that can serve as mass-deployable remote housing to serve the Microhouse, emergency housing, worksite office, waste processing facilities, water supplies, remote workshops, energy producing units, homeless shelter, hydrogen filling stations, refugee camps, startup cities, house boats, temporary settlements, ADUs, catamarans, food production units, RVs, self-propelled Microhouse, 3D printing farms, solar concrete production units, hot metal processing units, bakeries, dairies, chicken houses, and others. Key is modular mobility and space frames, with advanced utility modules.
