Kickstarter: a movie about Free, Earth-Friendly Heat

Say hey Paul, since your consultations are another limited premium, shouldn't they be on the survey list to be doled out evenly with the event tickets?

I don't understand the question.

My guess is that Coydon is wondering why the consultations are in a separate survey question from the various tickets.  With the tickets I understand that you would only be able to win 1 of them.  Thus you wanted to know if someone was interested in each ticketed event, and if they are interested in more than one, what was their first choice.  With the consultations being in a separate survey question does that mean someone could win 1 ticket to an event AND a consultation?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.  A person could end up with one ticket and one consultation.

Done!

Sorry, wanted to finish pounding my well before dark.
I was thinking there would be greater appeal for the 100+ level if more people got one of the limited items, so one of the tickets or a consult. But we are beyond the promotion stage and it sounds like it won't be an issue in the future, so just checking to verify before completing my survey.

Paul, I have a suggestion on a GREAT way to end the movie, see below.     A "teaser" of the next big thing to happen......?

What else is going to happen? An idea for the next project: Maybe after this is done, you would like to consider your next Kickstarter to be combining a rocket stove with a hyper-efficient Energy Positive Home. It would need so little heat, that might be enough to wake people up globally. It might make the difference.
These homes are 15 times tighter using Structural Insulated Panels (SIP's), are 2 ½ times stronger, and with the Frost-Free foundation (insulating around the perimeter of the foundation so frost never touches it) it is like a house sized Styrofoam cooler upside-down on a 55F surface (Earth ambient temp here). NOT hard to heat up to 70F! I'd like to see in-ground greenhouses (Walipini's) in the middle of small developments of these homes, and small greenhouses attached to some small homes.

An Energy Positive Home creates more energy than it uses, and we are able to build them for around the same cost as regular stick construction WITH the solar panels. Developments going up now in Clear Lake Iowa and other areas.    BUT,....none of them have a rocket stove in them. If we can eliminate the electricity needed for heat, we could build even less expensively by not needing nearly as much for solar to run the mini-splits!

Please give this some thought.
Eliminate heat, electric and food bills all at once. Add passive solar design in cold climates, little heat required. Food production designed into a development.
For those wanting electric cars, by building the solar into a house, the cost of fuel can go from .13c/mile to .02c/mile (when using a loan). The world needs this.


Model in Milwaukee, another going up in Somerset WI.
www.equinoxenergyhomes.com     Gregg Bacon is the innovator for these homes, he is building developments now.

Arched Cabins are another less expensive way to build a home and are cool looking! They are designed to be DIY built, or community built.
I would love to see a development of these too somewhere with rocket stoves.  www.archedcabins.com
Let's set up a chat.

Has any other backers, at $100+, not received their survey?

Are you saying that you did not receive the survey?

If you didn't get the survey, then what happens if you look at kickstarter and you are logged in to kickstarter?  Does it say something at the top about the survey?

I can see hundreds of people have filled the survey out so far.

Yeah, I didn't receive. I thought I'd exhaust trying to find it before bothering you all.

Spam?

No. this is my first time though. I didn't check kickstarter initially though still trying to find.

did you try this one?

I'm having problems paying Kickstarter! I'm in Europe. My bank says their default payment gateway doesn't support EU safe transactions... it just asks for your card details and that's it, no verification, etc. Does anyone know if there is some Kickstarter backdoor or some way for EU folks to give them money? Strange, I would have thought Kickstarter was big enough to handle this!

Here is a question I could not answer.

Thank you,

Brother Kelly Kerby

 What is the best way to give this as a gift?

I already answered Kim here

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/paulwheaton/free-heat/posts/3517893?ref=ksr_email_creator_new_post_comment

Nope. You cannot give this as a gift.

Also, I emailed you. You really need to get rid of hotmail.

I came across your kick starter and I am interested in the $65 pledge, "Plans". Is there anyway for me to still make the pledge? Or can I purchase the 6 plans, movie, and whatever info you got on the rocket stoves in the plans?

Much thanks for any info

Hi Jacob!  Someone else may chime in with more specific information, but here is my best guess, judging by how stuff usually goes.  As with kickstarters in general, there is no way to pledge after the campaign is over.  But usually with Paul's things, the rewards wind up being available a la carte at some point down the line.  There is usually some waiting involved, because the kickstarter backers deserve to get all the goods first, and it will probably be quite a bit more spendy, or not include all the extras for free, as that is also the incentive for backing.  If you watch for it though, you'll see stuff trickle out over time.

In the meantime, there are a number of other great plans and info available elsewhere on the forum.  
Try here: https://permies.com/f/260/rocket-mass-heaters.  

Also, here I asked uncle google to give me a good list of all the other plans that are currently available on the permies digital market:
google: site:permies.com rocket mass heater plans

Anything else we can help with or point you in the right direction, let us know!

@Beau Davidson

Thanks for the info & links! Have a beautiful day!

This feels like a long time coming!!  Such important information that will transform so many of our lives and help make the earth that much cleaner and balanced for our children and grand children.  Thanks to all you who have worked so hard to bring this revolution about ( and in such a fun, kickass way!!)!  

Can anyone tell me when the 3-d plans that were part of the $65 and up level will be ready? Or did I overlook them somehow?
TIA.
