The Clean Hub | Planet Earth
Designed to be a self contained human ecosystem, the Clean Hub generates electricity, processes human waste, and provides potable water without any ground or municipal hook up.
The concept is based on a basic principle; that the sky can supply a more sustainable infrastructure system than the earth. So, the Clean Hub uses solar panels to generate electricity which runs and atmospheric water harvester to collect clean water fro m the air and compositing toilets to transform human waste into fertile soil.
The Clean Hub is designed around three usess. First, it can be used as a mobile health/immunization clinic in remote or environmentally sensitive regions of the world. Second, it can be used as temporary housing for disaster respoinse. Third, it can be used to create small scale, urban agriculture. |
