[Energy] Hello.

Hi.

My name is Sage.    I engineer things, and I think a lot about energy.   I
do electrical engineering.   I've made solar cookers and solar heaters.

I love the bicycle generators on the Occupy Site.

I am personally opposed to the use of a diesel generator, though the IBEW
has promised to deliver one.  There are also issues with the City on that
front.

I think we can meet our energy needs using solar gain, solar thermal
heaters, photovoltaics, and bicycle generators -- perhaps some wind power,
too.

I am working with the Winterization group on planning the Winter setup.  I
am proposing a central tall inflatable teepee like structure with clear
walls for meeting and living inside, as a community space.

I am proposing the "CanSolar" panels combined with thermal mass, for the
sleeping tents that we will likely buy, as well as the working group tents.
 Those are winterized single-wall tents with little insulation.  We may
modify them for some natural light.

That is all for now,.

Please introduce yourself, other people on this list.

Oh by the way I am sleeping at Occupy, in the small house on wheels.  That
is like a solar oven in the daytime.  I heat with hot water bottles from
the hot manhole cover, made from a box of Joe.

Sage
