Chido’s Mushrooms - local and nutritious food grown on remains of coffee production

/0 Kommentare/in /von

Coffee is one of the world’s most popular drinks. 7.5 million tons of coffee and almost the same amount of waste are produced every year. These leftovers can be used for the production of healthy gourmet mushrooms.
The idea for this sustainable business model stems from Africa where people are empowered to supply themselves with important nutrients and create jobs through mushroom production. As a kid Chido Govera, the Co-founder of Chido UG, had to learn how valuable available resources like organic waste can be. Since then she breeds mushrooms and shares her knowledge worldwide.

People can also grow their own mushrooms at home (or become a franchise or license partner of this sustainable model).

Combustion-Free Hot Water at the Whole Systems Research Farm

/0 Kommentare/in /von

Making Soil and Hot Water at the Same Time:
Testing the first generation of Jean Pain woody-compost water-heating mound at Whole Systems Design’s Vermont hill farm. We are now 2 months into testing our first mound and the results are astounding with hot water able to be harvested from the mound at a rate of about 1 gallon/minute at 120 F continuously, or cycles of 145F water harvested in 30 gallon amounts. We will be using this mound to make soil for the gardens and fruiting perennials on the farm and for in-soil bed heating of our greenhouse for season extension. Details on how to make these and other resiliency systems are in our workshops and in forthcoming videos released on our website, www.wholesystemsdesign.com, these video channels, and announced on the Whole Systems Design and Bright Blue Facebook pages: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Whole-….

The Vortex Process Technology - Technik nach Viktor Schauberger „Das Wesen des Wassers“

/0 Kommentare/in /von

One technical application according to Schauberger’s ideas has been realized in Sweden: the Vortex Generator. It has been developed by „Watreco“ in Malmö.
The Vortex Process Technology (inside the generator) has borrowed its working principle from the flow of natural water. The final result of the system is vortex-treated and de-gassed water, which offers several advantages, i.e. in the preparation of artificial ice.

Nach dem Motte: Viktor Schauberger „Das Wesen des Wassers“ hier ein Video welches die technische Umsetzung von Wirbeln nach Schauberger zeigt.

Wie kann man robusteres Eis für Kunsteisbahnen und Eishockeystadien erzeugen? Eis, das weniger anfällig für die Bildung von Rissen ist, das höhere Außentemperaturen verträgt, auf dem man schneller läuft und welches außerdem durchsichtiger ist (damit man z. B. die darunter markierten Linien und Werbebotschaften länger klar erkennen kann)?
Antwort: Mit Wasser, das nach Schauberger-Prinzipien „behandelt“ worden ist.
