Compressed earth blocks are made in this mechanical press and, once cured, can be used in place of bricks and do not require firing in a kiln to maintain their strength.

By using spoons welded to a disk, a micro-hydropower plant can generate enough energy to filter the water flowing through it in an area where clean, safe drinking water is hard to attain.

Aquaponics is a method of growing fish and plants symbiotically to maximize the production of both in a small area, idea for farmers who are short on land or clean water.

SENEA student standing next to the wind turbine he designed and fabricated, a H-Rotor vertical axis wind turbine ideal for turbulent wind.  This turbine will be used to pump water.

The anaerobic digestion of manure to generate methane, a useable fuel in cooking and lighting, makes a biogas digester idea for shepherd’s who have many animals.

Two students pose in the mock-up human powered electric vehicle that is currently being built to hold two people and 100 lb of cargo and drive with an electric assistance engine.

Capitalizing on the suns energy, and concentrating it through a parabolic reflector, the solar oven can be used to cook breads and other foods, eliminating the need for power intensive ovens.

Dead lead-acid batteries can be rejuvenated with a simple switch of solution from lead and acid to Sodium Aluminum Sulfate or alum, allowing longer user life for expensive batteries.

Pots of charcoal are growing plants in an experiment to determine the ideal concentration to use as fertilizer.  Burning wood to charcoal, rather than ash, allows it to be used to grow more trees.
