Category:MOST The Pearce Research Group at Michigan Tech in Open Sustainability Technology focuses on open and applied sustainability, which is the application of science and innovation to ensure a better quality of life for all, now and into the future, in a just and equitable manner, whilst living within the limits of supporting ecosystems. Specifically we are interested in exploring the way solar photovoltaic technology can sustainably power our society and how open-source hardware like open source appropriate technologies (or OSAT) and RepRap 3-D printing can drive decentralized local production and manufacturing (and maybe even social change)[1]. See Advancing Open, Sustainable Technology with 3D Printing We have a strong open access policy.

BCD A CONSTANT, NON STOP “PULSED” LOW RADIO FREQUENCY HUM AND DRONE RADIATING FROM GLOBAL SMART GRID MESH NETWORK! | Sandaura's Blog FINGERPRINT OF 217Hz-SOURCE OF NOISE PLEASE CONTACT US @ globalrfrdefenseteam@verizon.net Site Updated Daily We have published this blog for victims who are hearing a constant noise inside as well as outside. I am coining the term, “SMART GRID SYNDROME” WHEN REFERRING TO THE SYMPTOMS WE ARE EXPERIENCING. WE ARE ALL EXPOSED TO THE EMR NOISE AND RADIATION, RESULTING IN THE EMISSIONS OF THE GLOBAL SMART GRID NETWORK. DEFINITION OF NOISE “Noise is an unwanted or objectionable sound” VERY IMPORTANT!! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR HEARERS TO UNDERSTAND.

Leviathan-like airships (especially the gargantuan, biggest ones) have always held human imagination in thrall, and have been inspiring myriads of engineers to come up with something feasible and lovely to behold, to gracefully soar to the skies, haul lots of cargo and cover large distances.

Otto Awarded 1st Posthumous Pritzker : Durability + Design News The day after his death at age 89, German architect and engineer Frei Otto received one of his profession's greatest honors: the Pritzker Architecture Prize. Otto was a visionary whose body of work has influenced countless others throughout the world, according to the Pritzker jury’s citation, announced Tuesday (March 10). A pioneer of modern, airy, lightweight structures, Otto believed that architecture should make a minimal impact on the environment. “He has embraced a definition of architect to include researcher, inventor, form-finder, engineer, builder, teacher, collaborator, environmentalist, humanist, and creator of memorable buildings and spaces,” the jurors said. ‘A Happy Man’ The Pritzker Architecture Prize, sponsored by the Hyatt Foundation, is one of architecture’s most prestigious awards. However, Otto learned of the honor earlier this year when the Pritzker executive director flew to his home near Stuttgart, Germany, to deliver the news. Noted Projects, Award Ceremony
