We Develop
Renewable Energy Costruction Set
– Open source– Community-driven– Available for
everyone– DIY (Do-It-Yourself)
Technologies we start with
Biogas digester

● Allows generating burnable gas from cow, pig or human manure or green biomass
● Manure of two cows is enough to power 2 midsize village houses
● The budget for a small biogas installation is below USD 700
● Can be assembled from local hardware store materials
Technologies we start with
Stirling engine● External combustion
engine● Transforms heat from any
source into mechanical energy
● Great for electricity generation and co-generation
● Can be produced with minimum of machining equipment
Technologies we start with
Utile gas● Utile gas generator allows
generating burnable gas from biomass (wood, pellets, etc)
● Can become a powerful energy source for farmers
● Easy to assemble from details available from any local hardware store
● We already have a working industrial prototype
Technologies we start with
Concentrator● Solar concentrator can
provide up to 700 C heat in a focal point in a sunny day
● It is cheap to build● Can be used to heat water
or power Stirling Engines● Cooking food with solar
concentrator reduces energy bill
● Simple to make and assemble
●
How we do it
Running open source energy lab in Kyiv (Ukraine)
Sharing our findings and designs with others
Gathering a global energy hackers` community at energytorrent.org
Cooperating with similar projects
The Lab
...starts in a garage
● We are just starting● Energy experiments and
development will start soon● We are now getting the
necessary equipment● You are welcome to join to
energy hacking● EnergyTorrent needs more
seeders and trackers :)● Your ideas and input are
more than important!
Our mission
Make renewable energy more affordable to local communities, entrepreneurs and general public by using open-source approaches to usage of renewable energy.
Our goals
● Create a community of engineers and enthusiasts developing open models and equipment for renewable energy usage
● Apply successful open-source development practices to the renewable energy sphere
● Develop open versions of most popular and accessible technologies of renewable energy.
● Teach those interested to produce their own means for usage of renewable energy
The Plan
In 1 year we plan to develop:– A completely documented (plans + assembly videos) 5Kw
utile gas (synthesis gas) generator– 500 Wt Stirling engine working prototype
– A 0.1 m3 output biogas digester– 1,5 meter solar concentrator (providing ~300° C at focal
point)
In 2 years we plan to launch:– 1KWt Stirling engine working prototype
– 4 m3 output biogas digester– Solar concentrator providing ~700° C at focal point– We are open to new ideas
