Standing Rock Technologies

Below is a living collection of technologies that can be used at Standing Rock and other temporary, autonomous camps in extreme conditions. This is just a start, please add to it by clicking edit or discuss the page on the talk page.

Staying warm

Structures and housing

Shelters

Teepees
Tarpies
4 season tents
Hexayurt - more comfortable than a tent, but still flat-pack and goes up with a few hours work. ^[1]

Signage

Demo Camp Units

Greenhouses

Greenhouses, especially combined with thermal mass can be used to keep areas and materials warm as well as for four season growing.

Material techniques

Weld wood using waste metal to join wood.
Bamboo
Insulation
Tying knots

Sanitation

Washing

Toilets

Communication

Secure communication

Tear gas and pepper spray recovery

Growing food

Running meetings

Greywater

Cooking

Cooking and dehydrating

Parabolic solar collectors: Papasan chair cooker, Satellite dish and Blackberry bramble, bike inner-tube and tin can lids
Rocket stoves: WaterPod Rocket Stove and CCAT rocket stove
Wood gasification stove
Retained heat cookers: Fireless cookers (to cook, food does not need to have heat energy poured into it, it only needs to be kept at a certain temperature)
Solar dehydration: Simple solar dehydrator, Chris's ENGR305 Solar Food Dehydrator and AEF food dehydrator

Power generation

Human power

Using a bike, you can generate around 150W of continuous power. E.g.:

Rowan's portable pedal power generator Nice portable unit that fits most bikes.
Here are two built for New York City's Waterpod: WaterPod Tour de Volts and WaterPod Bicycle Energy Generator
Here are two pedal powered TVs that would work well for laptops and other devices: CCAT pedal powered TV and Samoa Hostel Pain in the Axle
Here are a whole bunch of pedal powered innovations from CCAT: CCAT pedal powered innovations
For a different take, this rowing machine blender could be made to generate electricity with a generator: Locally Delicious rowing machine blender for schools (note the detailed instructions at Rowing Machine Blender Instructions
Here is a mechanical bike blender using a flexishaft: Public Health Bike Blender

Solar

Photovoltaics#Sizing a PV System - System sizing
Photovoltaic vaccine refrigeration at Centro De Salud
Ghetto2Garden renewable energy 2014 - 510W full system

510W full system for the Ghetto2Garden animal shelter

Wind

DIY Wind
Samoa Hostel Windbelt Very low power from low winds and fairly low tech.

Cooling and refrigeration (in the summer)

Used cooking oil and fats combined heat and power systems (CHP)

Water

Supply

Rainwater
See Rainwater e.g. the design at La Yuca rainwater catchment but smaller with 55 gal drums. You can use the calculator at http://www.pequals.com/rain to figure out how big your system can/should be.
