Well this technology existed already thousands of years ago and the people who used it were called "hermits" (in English) and other names in other languages. What all of them had in common was a slight craziness in the old times this was sometimes considered a higher form of spirituality.
But one thing is for sure, if all of us should become hermits, this would be the end of humanity.
I don't see how this will happen, but I think convenient hermicity will be a thing of the future lol :)
What do you mean here btw?
I meant the capability to create your own tools necessary for survival.
Any good reads about hermits in the past? I'd imagine there aren't too many docs about them.
no documents, but you can find them in many stories. I'll check, if I can find a good one for you.
If it flaps its window covers really fast, it can fly, right?
I still think this pod is wicked expensive.
I can do far better for far less. But then, I am person who can recreate all of our manufacturing tech from the ground up.
That's awesome. I studied electric / computing systems, and when I had my previous job as salesperson for elevators / escalators, I found out that I can't grasp mechanical concepts all that well. So I made it a point to learn the details from extraction to fabrication to installation - glad to have learned about that, but still pretty limited since its so specialised.
Haha.. btw what do you think of ecocapsule and its cost?
The eco-egg is what I like to call it. Technologically speaking its a marvel of engineering.
I'm pretty sure I don't want to live in one. When I move off grid in a year or two I hope to have a big home, 2 floors. For 80k Pounds you could build a pretty sweet earthship or cob house with all the same bells and whistles but more space to live in. But I have time love the outdoors. I think the eco-capsule would be ideal in a city setting as it is pretty much "plug and play" rather than the wilderness where i plan to be.
Cool concept, certainly has advantages in the event of natural disasters or the need to suddenly relocate when SHTF.
I like how it's shaped well enough to act as a water-collection system. And for the ecocapsule, it looks like one giant mould without any interconnection/soldering.
Do you have any pinterest / images of these to share? I do collect these kind of designs from time to time :)
hmm. I don't offhand. I do have tons and tons of bookmarks of many different types Eco-friendly Sustainable homes that many cost less than $50k US to build but they are labour intensive.
I got time today I can write a post and I will link it here after. Stay tuned.
Cool - great , link me up when it comes :)
