Low Tech Laboratory Movie 1
Watch the movie that documents the 2022 Permaculture Technology Jamboree, where innovative designers, builders, tinkerers, bodgers, fixers, goofballs, and water-witchers came together to explore homesteading, permaculture, natural building, wood heat, food preservation, land design, and practical low tech systems.
Some of the things covered in this movie:
rocket kiln, rocket forge, and rocket hot tub
mycelium insulation and a mycelium insulated door
an all-wood Proenneke hinge
spinning wheel made from bicycle parts
log picnic table and shaving horse
hugelkultur and spring terrace
log beehives
simple solar pump
food preservation, apothecary, sheep shearing, wool processing, clay harvesting, pond sealing, and more
Low Tech Laboratory Movie 2
The sequel to the Low Tech Laboratory movie documents the 2023 Permaculture Technology Jamboree, with new builds, new experiments, and new practical artifacts from the Wheaton Labs community. This movie captures design, construction, testing, and instructor insight for a wide range of permaculture and homesteading projects.
Some of the things covered in this movie:
rocket engine, rocket forge, rocket hot tub, and rocket kiln experiments
Some call it "carbon neutral," others "carbon negative." Heat your home with yard waste and cardboard while reducing global problems. We call it free heat.
Rocket Mass Heaters are possibly one of the most powerful low tech solutions for people who want lower heating bills, greater comfort, and a cleaner way to heat a home. This movie gives viewers a front row seat to several rocket mass heater builds and other rockety contraptions.
Some of the things covered in this movie:
8 inch pebble style j-tube rocket mass heater
6 inch cob style j-tube rocket mass heater in a tiny house
Lorena style rocket cooktop
rocket sauna heater
solar food dehydrator with rocket assist
Liberator and Gamera commercial rocket heater installations
RMH design, safety, function, maintenance, 5-minute riser, juice box stratification, and rocket kiln/forge experiments
65 Low Tech Things - Movie Tour
A tour of dozens of low tech ideas, systems, and practical homesteading experiments. This movie adds even more inspiration and context for people who want to see a broad range of low tech possibilities in action.
