== Description == Roughly two paragraphs summarizing and qualifying what the item is. You should touch on the four following points. * Which basic human needs does this system address, in terms of the STAR-TIDES infrastructures (shelter, water, power, integrated cooking, heating/cooling/lighting, sanitation, ICT) or which of the [[six ways to die]] (too hot, too cold, thirst, hunger, illness, injury) does it prevent? * What does the system look like? You can upload a picture. To do that, use the file upload box on the right hand navigation, and follow the instructions there to include it on this page. This can get a little involved. You may wish to stick with a written description at first. You're telling people "it's about the size of a shoebox and it has pipes to draw in water" or "it's a buried pump that goes inside a well." * What principles does the system employ to function? This is a very rough statement to qualify how the thing works. Describe things like it purifies water by reverse osmosis filtration, or it pumps water by manual labor, or it is a photovoltaic panel that charges batteries. Try and focus on the active principle of the device so that it can be grouped with other systems employing the same basic principles later, for easy comparison. * A note about the status of the system, including some idea of it's readiness (in development, in field testing, in common use) and it's status (commercial, free/open source, other.) This sounds like a lot to pack into a couple of paragraphs, but it just has to provide an overview. For example. The hexayurt is a shelter. It can be made from insulating materials to help in cold and hot climates. (what is it?) A hexayurt is a shiny metal hut, 8 to 12 feet high and 16 feet in diameter. (what does it look like?) The hexayurt is made from rigid panels of 4' x 8' materials and can be constructed from a wide range of common industrial products. It is commonly held together with high strength tapes and anchored to the ground like a tent. It requires no foundation. It could potentially be mass produced from improvised materials in a catastrophe. (the basic operating principles.) The hexayurt has been demonstrated many times but has not undergone formal field trials. It is Free/Open Source and a commercial version of the shelter will be available in 2008.
