Nature has provided us with an abundance of energy and it is all around us! There are multiple technologies being developed, which mean we can design and build homes and villages which are energy independent, energy self sufficiently and even off grid. we using, teaching, researching the following appropriate technologies:
A. Solar Reflectors. Taking direct sun’s energy reflecting into to heat water or rocks for cooking.
B. Compost Heating. Converting heat energy from decomposing kitchen scraps into hot water showers.
C. Local hydroelectric power. Converting kinetic energy of river water into electrical energy.
D. Greenhouse Solar Collectors. Taking excess heat from the greenhouse to create a heat store.
E. DC Solar Pump to Water Towers. Stores the suns energy as gravitational potential energy.
F. Solar Chimney. Heats the air to accelerate ventilation from building drawing cool air in.
