engineering towards sustainable manufacturing

We believe systemic change in manufacturing is necessary to avert climate disaster (and worse).
Humans are (currently) a single-planet species, and so far, plans to colonize other planets are problematic at best.
Late-stage capitalism ensures that unregulated megacorps will churn out profit-margin-ensuring mass produced mediocrity until the planet literally burns around the workers ears.
The tools to create a sustainable reality are within our collective grasp.
Help fund our efforts as we try to save the world through industrial automation engineering!
Perspective:
1) $45/week - cost of on-site power from renewable sources for lights, tool use, and computing.
2) $2022/week - utilities, material, and other overhead costs of operating an engineering company out of pocket.
3) $6,600/week - gross payroll price tag for one engineer for one week.
Active projects:
* BattleWaggon (a ruggedized mobile manufacturing platform)
* HubSys/DarkPi (a modular computing automation system)
* NunEDU (collaborative learning via your version control system)
Fuel our efforts and encourage our hearts
* by contributing to operating income, here on #LiberaPay,
* by getting us a wishlist item,
* by participating in the development of system management scripts
Noteworthy Progress:
- In 2017, the acquisition of a plasma unit allowed us to bring a titanium-capable smelter online.
- In 2018, we purchased a 20 acre test site in the badlands near our home.
- In summer of 2019, the test site was raided and burned.
- In 2019.Q3 we began focused cleanup of the waste and debris left by the raid.
- In 2019.Q4, we are expanding into our new prototyping and manufacturing site.
- in 2020.Q1, we began work towards an agriculture and forestry sensing application for HubSys/DarkPi.
- in 2020.Q2-Q4, we focused on use and implementation of basic HubSys/DarkPi functions.
- In 2021.Q1, we developed and deployed a web-based application via the HubSys/DarkPi platform.
- In 2021.Q2, we moved development off-grid, primarily powered via solar.
