How Inventors Innovate - Onthogentic Research Process

The most common tool for to support our innovative thinking is the "Onthogenetic Research Process"
which was originally developt by psychologiest. We use this method to detect losted "roots" of techologies and human culture. This analysis gives usually a good overview how the original evolotion of an object has been gun. After a visiual gattering, its part of the project analyse the Innovationspace of the past ideas and use this to shape the futur innovations.

Project OASIS / Fog Collector-Windturbine

Fog Collector/ Windturbine - Sturmmaschine 01R

The last 6 months I develop a new kind of Windturbine that produce energy and also harvest 10-100 liter water a night from the desert fog which is quiet dense in the namibia desert. The Windturbine is mounted behind the fog collector
mesch and produce 100-400 Watt a day. Overall this machine produce enough energy and water to support a family with 4 persons in the dessert comunity.
The collector is made of aluminum and standart parts so easy to transport & service. The coast for the material is arround 300 Euros not much for arround  900 kW/Year and arround 20.000 Liter Water a year. The folk of the Namib will be independend from using fuel for there powergenerators  buying batteries and from the goverment water supply which they have to pay for almost 1/4 of theire income. To produce this low-tech technology can be also a job generator to produce small system for other rual areas of africa.

 

THe Sturmmaschine 01R is ready for transport to namibia

 

Final layout for namibia, 3 units produce up to 300 Liter Water and

900 kW/H a day - Hope for the Desert.

Look inside the IDEA MACHIENE

90% of the of the time i work for fresh ideas and  technological solutions. Only 10% is the design part of my job. The new approach is always the biggest goal. For me "classical design" is not existing.
