Open Source Ecology, with the support of Mornflake
Hi, my name is Jeremy Mason and I'm writing from Factor E Farm in Missouri, USA. We're leading the Open Source Ecology movement dedicated to creating tools for building modern interconnected self-sufficient resilient communities that can be affordably reproduced by anyone. See our blog http://www.OpenFarmTech.org/weblog/ and our wiki http://www.OpenFarmTech.org for the open source hardware we're developing, including a Compressed Earth Brick Press and a multi-purpose tractor.
Thanks to Mornflake cereal http://www.mornflake.com and their online video contest http://www.mornflakecompetition.com we're able to spend time to reach out to UK online communities. The idea is that it makes more sense for us to promote each other than for them to promote themselves.
We're looking for experts and researchers to help us create open source plans for a Babington oil burner, a pyrolysis oil fast reactor, a solar concentrator, and a modern steam engine design, for a complete system of renewable energy. We're working towards a Resilient Community Construction Kit of 40 technologies. We're also looking for seasonal permaculture volunteers.
If any of the projects look particularly interesting to anyone here please get in contact with us at OpenSourceEcology at gmail dot com to invest, help out, buy a technology, or start up a business making them when they are complete.
