Open Source Ecology - start-here

So first the rant on what OSE is Basically a group dedicated to making all the open source hardware needed to build/run a small town/farm. Complex to explain so perhaps watch the ted talk and check it out?

Hello, this is "Just Do Everything" from Youtube. I have been watching OSE for about 5 years, and really excited about the current progress. I don't have a ton of free time, but would love to talk/help in any way I can.

Welcome @notprimalhaze !

Is it worth subscribing to the mailing list? Does it have any contributions?

Can we have a tractor-stuff channel (analogous to the cnc-torch-table-stuff)?

Yeah I want to discuss solar tractor

I think the OSE mailing list is not the most active. Here is where there is the most chatter, and I believe in fb group you’d get a faster response from @Jeff H and possibly @Marcin

I've been watching some of the stuff on youtube related to the eco home, you guys know where I could find an up to date summary on things?

3:14 AM

its pretty interesting to see this being worked on

I've been watching some of the stuff on youtube related to the eco home, you guys know where I could find an up to date summary on things?

Here's current list of the development work that's going on as OSE pushes to finalize the CAD and BOM for upcoming Seed Eco Home builds this fall. https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Seed_Eco-Home_Collaboration_Team The latest CAD and design details can be found here. https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Seed_Home_v2. Anything in particular you'd like to know?

Seed Eco-Home Collaboration Team

Thats all for now, thanks!

Any updates on the build process?

12:13 AM

I heard there was supposed to be on in December

@Roths I don't think anyone involved with the build in on this Discord server. I've been trying to piece together information from Marcin's wiki updates, but they are few. Looks like at least one house is still in progress. https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Seed_Eco-Home_4_Data_Collection

Thanks for the information!

@Roths has reached level 5. GG!

Yw! I've not been terribly involved lately. I should get back into it, but guidance dropped off in the months leading up to the house builds.

I banned them :/

hi!

12:06 PM

been checking out OSE's wiki and website for a while now

12:07 PM

is there anyone around doing manufacturing/metalworking-related projects lately? (edited)

12:07 PM

CNC, machining, forging, etc

@rajavlitra Towards the end of the apprenticeship, the last major project in development was the https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/CNC_Torch_Table

CNC Torch Table

4:11 PM

I think since the focus of OSE/Marcin is seed eco home right now, this has been put on the backburner since there is nobody actively pushing it forward

4:11 PM

would love to see more metal fab here though

same, been thinking with a friend on how to make die forging more small scale

maybe start with a very small project, attempt to manufacture something profitable, then using funds make a smaller/more precise open source metal forging/die process

5:04 PM

maybe check out https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Economic_Time_Binding and https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Slide_-_Materials_Ecology

In particular I think aluminum extraction from clay was something interesting to explore, but if I were to approach metal fab at the local scale I might start by seeing what is possible from melting down used food cans or other scrap (edited)

https://vimeo.com/18095549 there was this one wild video I found some time ago...

I don't have the ability to work on this locally, but please let me know if you want any help with CAD or thermodynamics simulation

I'd love to do some metal fab. Still refreshing up on my "Intro to Material Science and Engineering" by Callister. I was considering starting with lost-pla casting, but am currently blocked on the lack of a furnace and knowledge of how to verify the composition of the material

well, check 'tom lipton' (https://www.youtube.com/user/oxtoolco), 'abom79', 'clockspring' and 'good old tony' on YT, for a start, not that hard

and of course, the first parts of machinary handbook, one among others : https://git.osr-plastic.org/osr-plastic/osr-resources/src/branch/master/papers/mechanics (edited)

seems to be a dying trade though, here in spain i can't get even remotly someone who can all the basics ...

I would love to make some knight armor

7:33 PM

knight techwear, walk around Seattle with my companion AI

7:34 PM

It does seem like it would take a lot of physical resource, or... at least courage... to attempt forging

feel like most people would think you were a pyromanic if you started makin charcoal in an urban area
