I've been experimenting with small-scale bamboo construction recently - the stuff's fantastic - like a cross between steel, GRP, and carbon fibre. Anyone want to play?
Self-sufficient, eco-friendly bamboo tree house
Imagine a bamboo tree house which is not only completely self sufficient, but also manages to produce more power than it needs. Fanciful thinking? No way!
Solar hooch- a backyard “Tower of Power” can actually do it. How? Well, high in the air, the hooch rises above the shadows cast upon the ground-from trees and buildings. With an unobstructed southern exposure, the solar hooch catches and stores solar heat through an abundance of south facing windows. The sun shines through upon a unique array of water filled aluminum cans that span the loft. With a days worth of solar thermal energy stored in the water, the bamboo mesh futon can be lowered over the storage for a night of warmth and comfort.
