I’ve seen quite a few of these types of waste oil stoves slapped together from old water heaters using gravity fed, drip systems but this heater is phenomenally built. Enjoy!

Off-grid washing machine
I’ve seen this idea before, but never engineered in such a way that the bike (as well as the wash tub) remained completely mobile.
Reduce Poverty by fixing homes
I absolutely love, love, love this video! It is everything that I want to do. I just pray that I can quickly get plugged into these issues so that I can be used to help others.
unique solar dehydrator
This is a very simple design on the cheap for a large solar dehydrator. I’m finding more and more dehydrated foods that I really enjoy eating. Thought this would be a good video for future reference.
homemade briquette press
After seeing how much paper and cardboard gets thrown away at work on a daily basis, I couldn’t help but think that a homemade press could turn that waste into a heat source with minimal time/money invested. Here’s a guy that has a good start on making this semi-efficient:
GroTech Gutter System…
This is similar to what I was going to build but decided to move away from gutters and go with PVC. Good information on what to do if plants are turning yellowish
hydroponics on less than 10 watts!
Stumbled across this forum where, in early 2012, guys were toying with the idea of using powerheads and/or water lifts on constant height one-pump (chop) systems to stay under 10 watts of power to run the entire system! incredible and very exciting. I am already wanting to tear down what I’ve built and start all […]
Folks This Ain’t Normal!
How did we get so far from some basic, simple efficient systems? Why do we continue to support big agribusiness?
Aquaponics Ted Talk
So this is what has been rolling around in my head lately as I learn about these systems…Mr. Price illustrates how the “waste” of one system feeds the next. It is amazing how little “new” inputs are actually required once you have a full system up and running. I love how scalable it is either […]
