My friend Ariella and I headed out to Shipyard Labs yesterday, Ariella to get technical input for a game she's designing and I to see what was behind the mysterious gates passed many times over the years. Here you see genial Project Manager (and Master Carpenter) Shannon O'Hare describing the journey of the lovely Never Was Haul, a sort of ship/house on wheels, to Burning Man.
Shannon explains the operation of this gasifier, a prototype for a carbon-neutral source of heat and energy. See all power labs if you want to build your own. All Power labs is also working with Engineers Without Borders , among the international groups responding to the Haitian earthquake, to make carbon-neutral brick ovens which can be built in poor countries. If you want to see more of this urban excursion, I've uploaded a set on flickr.
Edit: Just walked next door and placed the Engineers without Borders info in Carlos' Door. Heh, that will teach him to ask me questions.
