Operating Manual For Spaceship Earth
Back in stock! Initially published in 1969, and one of Fuller's most popular works, Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth is a brilliant synthesis of his world view. In this very accessible volume, Fuller investigates the great challenges facing humanity, and the principles for avoiding extinction and "exercising our option to make it." How will humanity survive? How does automation influence individualization? How can we utilize our resources more effectively to realize our potential to end poverty in this generation? He questions the concept of specialization, calls for a design revolution of innovation, and offers advice on how to guide "spaceship earth" toward a sustainable future.
The purpose of our initiative is to produce potable water by condensing atmospheric moisture in locations that do not have water, or that have water that is contaminated. The product is an intelegent "state of the art" appliance that can adapt to weather conditions to run at it's most efficient level. Another model of the watermill the "watermill cell" uses the same core technology,and is intended for use in underdeveloped countries. The cell can be used alone , or when a number of units are assembled.
