awesome.

Beautiful. love the closed loop systems. looks like a Very expensive build. not exactly for the masses, but the biological system is very good. Same princles and systems applied to smaller and cheaper, and still "organic" is the direction we need to go. I would love to see more information on the biological and thermal systems for better understanding. This must be clarified fully for ease of application by anyone. No comment on the hydroen:) Thanks much for the video

I would be totally hypnotized! Things like that fascinate me :) I like the term "harmonic vortex". I'll have to find some excuse to use that one ::smirk::

its totally mesmerizing... i hear theres a big one in the san francisco exploratorium, but that its a acryl seethrough tube but you still see the huge vortex. theres also a water bar in gatwick airport in the u.k. where they have 3 tubes with vortices filling it up and then them emptying it too.. this kinda stuff never gets old, especially if its a harmonic vortex (not spluttering/unstable). the best ive seen resembles dna strands..

how interesting! So it adds a natural energy to the water. It's pretty too :)

you could easily do a technological cool geek design of an earthship, then it wouldn't look like something that you hate.

its a egg-shape bottle being used to create a vortex, in order to aerate/oxygenate the water and further "enliven" it. you can think of it like this: a human walks straight like a robot (totally straight, no swing) - then, a human walks freeform and freely, with a swing.water seeks to swirl and move in lemniscates, water pipes force it with high pressure to be completely pulverized and go straight. seen a straight natural river, ever? ;)

yeah i was completely bowled over by the water vortex purification + aeration processes, i had no idea the earthship-related people had moved towards this. see that "twin water vortex system" on youtube f.ex., i thought this was something that was going to need to be "told" to earthship biotecture, but maybe i was just completely wrong. i really need to visit this place.

thats how the idea is sold to people who aren't labcoat wearing technicians. if this was a 10minute tirade about hydroxy and solar panels, people would fall asleep already. if you show them it looks nifty and you'd wanna live in it, and mention that the tech is wicked great, they'll be more prone to move towards it.

or getting those vertical axis wind turbines that are pretty nicelooking:) |
