A very interesting Low Tech project! Geoffroy Levy présente Open Source Energy : Aidez-nous à construire le générateur Enercan V2 — KissKissBankBank.
It’s just few months that I’m strongly involved in the open source hardware movement and, despite I still not have a clear idea of how this community is composed. I’ve got some impressions, especially by talking with lots of fabbers and makers, one of them is, luckily, my brother in law that built a CNC milling machine…
Perhaps because of resources crisis that we live, finally, a growing awareness about the materials is rising. In my opinion, there are three kinds of considerations we can do when talking about fair trade and, in general, when we talk of components built or including what we usually call “rare earths”. Conflicts The…
