OBJECTIVES
- self-powered 'Carbon negative' household waste management system to fight waste and climate change
- reduce export of household waste to large scale industrial waste management systems (which use inefficient logistics too!)
- use state of the art solid state, digitally controlled and Artificially Intelligent 'Variable Frequency Microwave Assisted Pyrolysis' (VFMAP) technology (which needs a lot of R&D for
feedstock training data for Machine Learning to perfect the 'Feedstock adaptive frequency tuning' with great control software integration)
- cater to various use cases eg. Earthships, tiny houses, shacks, semi-permanent/permanent camps and more
3 modules
- VFMAP
- Self powered, after startup from a small biochar-based battery, from syngas->Stirling Engine/TEG->bioelectricity
- Could have some power outlets eg.AC, DC, USB (with PD)
- Shredder (powered from the VFMAP module)
- Predrying (coupled to the VFMAP, using waste process heat)
- Food waste
- Sewage waste
Feedstocks
- food waste (predrying module)
- plastic waste (shredder module)
- sewage waste (bokashi Biochar toilet->predrying module)
-
- This is an interesting waste stream because the biochar in the sewage waste can also enhance the VFMAP energy efficiency as a susceptor (though not essential) for an increased
dielectric effect but is probably essential i.e. a susceptor, for basic 'Microwave Assisted Pyrolysis' (MAP)
- paper and cardboard (shredder module)
What to do with the (bio)char?
- Plastic char should be OK for the toilets
- Biochar from food waste, paper and cardboard, should be OK for water filtration but a safer bet is Biochar pellets straight from the TLUDs. Could be added to the toilets too.
- Biochar from the bokashi toilet (which already has biochar) should be fine for compost->growing systems
Additional tech
- Simple Survival System (SSS) (see page)
- Navigator 'Awesome' V3 TLUD (2)
- cooking
- Biochar pellets
- WASH
- WAter
- water filtration (Permafilter '3 bucket', on 'Permafilter Systems' page) then pasteurization (TLUD)
- Sanitation
- bokashi Biochar toilet (2) (1=urinating, 2=defecating)
- Hygiene (using soil microbe friendly detergents)
- hand washing
- body washing
- dishes
- laundry->compost and growing systems
