Tera Preta and the Amazonas

Terra preta (“dark soil” in Portuguese) refers to expanses of very dark, fertile anthropogenic soils found in the Amazon Basin. It owes its name to its very high charcoal content.

Stoves for the 21st Century

Here is a very good idea on charcoalizers - simple and it cooks rice in eight minutes (?)  This one cooks eggs and burns for 20 Minutes - still in development And this is gasification at 10,000 BTUS- and they have potential. http://www.knowledgePublications.com for all the info!

Pumzi

 

Pumzi

Luonto on kuollut. Kaikkialla on pelkkää tyhjyyttä kolmannen maailmansodan jälkeen, joka on käyty veden omistuksesta 35 vuotta sitten. Maitu Councilin sisätiloissa elävän yhteisön museokuraattorina toimiva Asha saa yllättäen paketin multaa postista ja istuttaa siihen vanhan siemenen, joka alkaa heti itää. Asha pyytää lupaa tutkia elämän mahdollisuutta ulkomaailmassa, mutta Council ei myönnä hänelle viisumia. Asha murtautuu ulos yhteisöstä autioon ulkomaailmaan päästäkseen istuttamaan orastavan taimen. Onko ulkomaailmassa sittenkin elämää? Kenialaisen ohjaajan Wanuri Kahiun scifi-lyhytelokuva valittiin Sundance Film Festivalin ohjelmistoon 2010.

Nature is extinct. The outside is dead, 35 years after World War III - “The Water War”. Asha lives and works as a museum curator in one of the indoor communities set up by the Maitu Council. When she receives a box in the mail containing soil, she plants an old seed in it and the seed starts to germinate instantly. Asha appeals to the Council to grant her permission to investigate the possibility of life on the outside but the Council denies her exit visa. Asha breaks out of the inside community to go into the dead and derelict outside to plant the growing seedling and possibly find life on the outside.
