Mantis, Fog-collector/ Wind-turbine

 The MANTIS, is a Fog-collector/ Wind-turbine that works in desert areas like Namibia, Australia
or the Acahama in Chile. The Mantis can produce up to 100 Liter of Water out of the foggy air during a night. The windturbine who is placed behind the fog collector mesh ( not shown on the foto)
collects the airflow trough the mesh and has a peak power of up to 500 Watt. My mantis has enough power and produces enough power for at least a family or 4 persons. The production price is arround
300-400 Euros so quite affordaple for people in rural desert areas to replace quite expensive fuel powered generators and expensive water supply from the goverment.

 After days working in heavy conditions during the early morning my vision of the future water /energy source for the people in namibia was ready and straight on operable.
The windturbine starts to run in a early morning brise.

 The "head unit" can use also for stand-alone operations on wind exposed places like on rocks or ruf-top of  houses. The photo show the unit without fog-collector mesh.

 After several night shifts and becoming mad about, wounded fingers and brocked tools

 detail wiew on the "waterbox" with the water tube and main connector for the upper part

 after unboxing, the several parts in the morning desert sun. Overall the whole construction weight only 25 Kilos, and ready for assembling

Assembling the "mantis" in desert conditions: 43° degrees and all the tools quite disfunctional

because everythink becomes broken in the sand. Shame on some of my tools... they just brocke

in the middl eof the desert... so I will never buy again something form the " Meister" tool
brand from Germany.
The power screw driver from metabo was quite really good for this rough time.

Thanks DHL to deliever my box quite in time, at this critical point and this box was over 6 months
work and over 1000 Euros private money to give the people in namibia a vision of producing
energy and water independently from "Osswater" and build up a new futher with their local resources.
 also thanks to Adrian from DHL to manage the delievering efficient.
















Waiting for the DHL delievering my box from Germany to Walfishbay I used the time for sandbording in the dunes.

Think Tank - Future Mobility with Frauenhofer IAO

"

"Kraftwerk Autonahn": During our research of technology and ideas we create our vision of a
future transportation system for 2112, we are using the idea of printable
coils and printable solarcells to reinvent the streets.

 During the Think Tank we also develop
a bran new loading station for electric cars that will be patented with the Daimler AG.
More informations about the revolution of electric car charging you will see on the DMY
in Berlin from 6-10 June

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.

Testing the fog-collector in the "ITV Denkendorf Research Center"

we celebrate with morre than 100 people avangarde elektronik musik and got flashed by DJ Vladi visuals "eLKE rADKE". Also on Stage the quite nice sounding "Libelle Team" involve use in electronic musik.

RX 7 Next Generation Windgenerator & Fog Collector

Well, some short impressions from Building up the Prototyp.
of the RX-7, the next generation of Windgenerator suited
for desert areas like Namibia or Western Sahara.
The RX 7 is also attached with a new technology that allow him
to collect 5-55 liter water a night out of the foggy winds in the
nebula desert. The water will support local gardening and
support clean water for daily live. The idea is to create
small sized wind generators wiht a maximum weigh tof 35 Kilo
so they can be transported to rural or isolated areas much mor easily.
At theire mission place always 3-4 RX-7 work together to produce overall
800-1000 KW and 20 - 200 Liters Water a day.

Low Tech Fog Collector/High Tech Fog Power Collector

Some pictures from my project with the BIT "Beking Institut of Technology" Group from China,
Now I am the mentor for 2 young designer.
the goal of the project is a low tech fog collector for namibia dessert.
Well this is a low tehc approach for collecting 5 - 25 Liter per m2 a day.
My high tech solution will be pulished later.

Crawler Robot

"Crawler Robot" is a short project supported by http://www.de.trumpf.com/
Our team made a high active crawling robot with innovative al terrain desert paddels
The leggs are flexible and grip instantly on different kind of surfaces.
The main energy unit is a powertool drill powered my lithium battery.
The crawler robot is controllable by a rc control.

The robot was made by Raphael Lang / Camilo Anabalon http://www.anabalon.cl/ /JuliaFischer and Lijan

from the "Institut of Integral Studies" in Stuttgart Germany hosted by the "Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Kuenste Stuttgart".

The other Team made also a funny gear:
