"Moreover, when used as a substrate for perovskite solar cells, the transparent bamboo displays the potential to act as a light management layer, leading to a marked efficiency enhancement of 15.29%"
A #solarpunk workshop built around multiple ways to use the sun, including several giant fresnel lenses beaming light down from the observatory-style dome on the roof, with the light regulated by the computer-controlled, irising shutter. With the focal point at a reliable, known location, they could use the heat for everything from 3d printing by sintering sand into glass, to forging or smelting metal, to operating a sort of CNC plasma cutter.
Hey, I've got a new story coming out in #Solarpunk Magazine next week! And I'm starting a new novel. If you'd like to know whenever I have something new out, subscribing to my newsletter is the best way to find out... plus you get free stories (some of my Singularity stuff, not solarpunk yet)...
Mir fehlen ein bisschen Klima Anpassungs News.
Nicht irgendwelche Fakten, sondern Analysen und Handlungsoptionen .
Eigentlich sehe ich da nur ein bisschen etwas bei den Waldbauern:
Die machen sich konkrete Gedanken, was bei einem RCP8.5 Szenario 2100 hier noch wächst.
@levampyre DAS Sind die Diskussionen, die ich führen möchte. Zb ist es Bautechnisch gar nicht mal so schwierig, einen Neubau auf beide Szenarien auszurichten. Klimanews sind dominiert von “X ist das heisseste Y aller Zeiten”. Ja, weis ich. Aber was bedeutet das? Was nun? Das fehlt mit bitterlich und ich hab das Gefühl, dass da immer weniger kommt.
Momentan scheint #SolarPunk & Serien wie Extrapolations da noch am interessantesten.
Reread A psalm for the wild-built - still lovely 😊 did anyone else get the vibe that mosscap (and the robots in general) could be read as neurodivergent?
How about a vision of a future worth fighting for? How about a realistic take on the world we're living in but with a pathway out of the mess?
Someday, they'll decide you're ready for such things. Probably not until readers create another breakaway success like KSR's Ministry for the Future or Becky Chambers' Monk & Robot.

This rainy week has been challenging for #offgrid baking, it takes 25% of my battery to bake a #sourdough loaf, but I've managed to make 2. This one ran the battery down to 9%. #solarpunk
In #solarpunk news, there’s someone locally on our Craigslist selling used 315W solar panels for $80 each. They have 30 of them — that’s 9.4kW! I just don’t have the space to store them, nor a vehicle to move them; and we already filled our roof with solar. I don’t think our tiny urban lot can host more large panels, just some small accessory lights.
@rafadc Sorry. that future was there, you missed it. The new future is #SolarPunk punk ground your own coffee beans and then use the used up grounds to grow mushrooms and scare away snails. Eat Mushrooms || Eat Snails
