Energy for Designers intro
Energy is one of the big challenges of our society to be solved by you as an inventor designer. We will be trying out weird ways to generate and harvest energy, like algae, chocolate, dance floor, mud, a Joule Thief, body heat and ice. We will also compare this to energy made with a potato, a solar cell, a wind turbine. Or just hack and be an energy parasite! With this experience, you will experiment further and connect your source of energy to your design idea. This can be a product, fashion, or a drawing, illustration, a knitting, architecture or a poster.
What is energy?
Big energy for heating houses, cities.
Small energy for your own gadgets and hacks and smart textiles, or charging your smart phones.
Nano energy, from plants, algae, bacteria.
