Hi! I’ll be participating in a hackathon next month in the hardware division. I was thinking of making something sollarpunk inspired. I’m posting this to ask for inspiration.
What is some of technology (esp. hardware) that you’d like to see implemented? What is a problem that you’d want solved that could have a potential hardware solution?
I know this is very vague, but I’m curious if anyone has some ideas to share :)
An open source method for making the evacuated tubes used in really powerful solar cookers. I have no idea what kind of arcane technology is used to make those things, but barely anyone sells them and they’re expensive and fragile. I’m kind of picturing that you could assemble one by using a large vacuum chamber that doubles as a glove box? That apparently is a thing that exists, according to wiki.
Haha, this unfortunately falls way out of my area of expertise :)
