100.000 mini gas-ﬁred power plants
in people's basements

produce as much electricity as
two nuclear reactors within a year

Lichtblick & Volkswagen


Home made

From this

Centralized

To this

and this

Home made

Back to this

DIY energy


2: Computing


The phone is a computer

3: DIY


Hardware
as a commodity


Mass storage

Bread machine

Beer machine

Laser cutter

3D Printer

Lower costs / more choice


Design - factory - ±30% of retail price

Limited edition designer car, $50.000

Do It yourself stuff:


and bio-hacking

Tailor made shoes

DIY Electronics

Production of (tastier) food

4: Wireless


Instant?


§

Whole process is slow

Bottlenecks:
- Data connection
- Power consumption
- Time to resolve service

Increasing range and speed


3G
384 Kbit/s - moving
2 Mbit/s - stationary
Mobile


4G
±50 x faster
100 Mbit/s - moving
1 Gbit/s - stationary
Mobile

3G

‘5G’
Quantum
Entanglement?

1000 x faster?
more?

3G 4G

Core goal?


This becomes instant

Wireless:
towards DIY Telephony?


Then

Now

Next: “Google wireless”?

End of telephony?

End of centralized systems?

Default way to call?

On our own networks?

Beyond wireless?

PROJECT

Where we are involved

SMART
SPACES

Elements:
1: Remote control
2: Sensors
3: Devices
4: Home cloud
5: Catering lazyness?
6: Being relevant

1: Remote control


Any of these devices - wireless

2: Sensors


Smart sockets

Smart showers

Smart heating systems

Sensors on windows

and doors

All visible here
