Research & Development Priorities

Subsistence Gardens of Paradise

• Resilient 3+ sisters super mounds
• Rabbit courtyards
• Multi-layered vertical growing
• Water gardens, acquaculture, aquaponics
• Indoor cultivation
• Micro-livestock

Sane Ecological Sanitation

• Water filtration:
  • Mycelium filters
  • Charcoal filters
• A civilized toilet (the toilet itself is ventilated, among other important distinctions)
• Resilient sane plumbing (many elements here)

Truly Regenerative Energy Systems

Attaining basic survival and comfort with the energy that can be found within the neighborhood.

Fire

Fuel: Coppiced fuel-wood — growing hedges of it everywhere

Combustion:

• Multi-purpose, wood/charcoal-fueled commercial ovens & kilns:
  • tortilla oven
  • tiles
• Pyrolysis retorts as primary material chamber, and as secondary chambers
  • pyrolysis-based water heaters
• Birch tar and other distillations

Mechanical energy

• Aerobic human-powered flywheel motors
• Gravity "batteries" with squat-press lift mechanism
• Pull-spring fans

This gives us possibilities for things like: playground-powered HVAC, gym-powered wood shop, for kitchens and buildings that function perfectly fine when the electrical grid goes down.

The achievment of commercial kitchens that are human-powered and neighborhood-fueled is completely essential.

Luxurious & Hyper-Efficient Community Housing with fully-integrated farm infrastructure

• Living, regenerative roofs
• Coppiced round-wood trusses
• Bedroom pods
