Chaskawatana (where the stars tie-up)
Sergio Quadros, Cleanergie
War, upheaval, tsunamis, earthquakes and hurricanes; forced migration. Disaster relief and emergency assistance should assure survival in the short run while building the basic building blocks of sustainable living in the long run. It is evident that we need to listen and look carefully to nature to find the solutions and “manuals” through the observation and study of Spaceship Earth. Energy and communications come at the core of the conflict. There is a strong relationship between
shortcomings of energy with a decaying ecological environment - a side-effect of our addiction to petroleum and our culture of waste.
This asymmetry in is the natural precession before a new synthesis emerges, discarding the obsolete and assimilating the “good” and necessary materials for a growing and evolving organism. The Earth. (Gaia
Renewable Energy is the post-Industrial Revolution of the 21st Century.
Our habits have to be transformed by the same objects that created them. The paradigm shift to a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle can only come through design science.
The ability to generate clean, renewable energy and shelter in a sustainable way while simultaneously creating various streams of revenue, opening jobs and marketing opportunities. This is an option that is as clear as the light of day, as hot as the radiation of the Sun.
Thus, we respectfully request your foundation to consider our humble entry as an attempt to articulate or describe our proposal in response to the challenge from such a master visionary.
It will be an honor to be accepted to compete.
Air, Land and Water are our most important assets, communication is today’s currency, and Energy our most precious commodity. Time is of essence.

VISION and MISSION
“The child is really the trim tab of the future. -Tomorrow is our permanent address” BF
This is what we need, and this what we can achieve:
We need Clean air and we can get pure air
We need Clean energy and we can get pure energy
We need Clean water and we can get pure water
We can manage abundance rather than scarcity; we have the tools, we have the know-how.
The company of the future is a process rather than a rigid scheme; its financial health is quantified centered on the welfare and health of its partners, the community and the health of the biosphere. It produces Livingry as tools for Life as opposite to weaponry for tools of war.
It is based on the degree by which wealth is transferred from one system to another and better defined as the “time-energy metabolic accounting system of the universe" -BF.
Nature itself provides the model for conservation, preservation, re-generation and proliferation of natural environments.
Similar to a bolt, many times is necessary to back off in order to move forward. Some pervasive and wasteful habits fueled by ego and greed need to change to shift whatever is “cool” in what is also healthy for all.
picture this:
You will be able to build a cabin in the middle of nowhere, and as time passes by and as friends and family grow all you have to do is upgrade your dwelling from a kit of parts to your absolute liking using a set of multi-dimensional and interchangeable geometries.
All this while improving the quality of Life and the quality of Living in spaceship earth.
ABSTRACT
Our objective is the production of replicable, scalable and upgradeable renewable energy generation systems to obtain economies of scale.
By using most of the tools, concepts and discoveries of Bucky Fuller, we intend to be the trimtab for sustainable living by virtue of interpreting nature’s inherent geometry.
Similar to the polarities of electricity, identify negative as waste, not refuse, but as raw mat’l – positive construed as pull that impulses elements from one to other on a procedural stream or directional force in a spiral of growth from primitive to the complex, from raw to refined, being the transition a net or filtration or interaction in a pull towards regeneration and purification.
The process develops a pulsating rhythm of expansion, contraction, consolidation, assimilation and emission to be used as fuel for other processes on what could be defined as the defined as the time-energy metabolic accounting system of the universe
This system is user friendly and able to fit with current infrastructure, when applicable. A “green” and “cool” image will far surpass the compensation for the power generated onsite. Rewarding conservation practices will do the rest
PHASE I
CLEANERGIE is a readily deployable, self-contained shelter that delivers energy, potable water and satellite communication.
Uses renewable energy technology to remain self-reliant for extended periods. Ideal for quick response to fundamental life support and routine needs.
The components folds in a modular “origami” fashion operating with net-0 energy and net-0 emissions.
CLEANERGIE at its smallest practical size is a survival package, compact and rugged, used to provide energy, water and communications in situ. It could be dropped from aircraft or vessels in disaster and emergency areas as well as used for every day life. It uses renewable energy to operate. It is stackable, scalable and replicable.
Basic human services are typically connected to a supply grid from a centralized location, whether it is the conduction of electricity through electric cables, fuel delivery or piped water supply in a metropolitan setting. Our product relieves the dependency on these vulnerable links. In the case of developing countries or remote areas, it provides the base for basic services.
Recent worldwide events in developed and underdeveloped countries have proven the need for a packaged solution to basic human needs. The success of the CLEANERGIE unit is its universal capability of providing emergency and everyday services across the globe.
We have created a working model that is used as a renewable energy demonstration in fairs, schools and other events for education, training and marketing purposes.
The rig can be used to provide emergency energy, communications as well as drinking and hot water. It does not use any exterior power source and all the energy is produced in-situ
PHASE II
This phase constitutes the core of an Industrial Park or Residential Cluster. Powered by an array of phase 1 shelters and components arranged in a particular configuration. It transforms scarcity to surplus creating a synergy on its application as a method to manage success. This is what we see:
Welcome to an autonomous house. It is beautiful and could be adapted to any particular classic or contemporary style. It’s shape is inspired on ancient techniques of passive cooling and heating systems.
It looks like any other upper-scale dwelling, but its built with interconnected stackable arrays of phase 1 and other components for larger deployment time and increased shelter capacity with added biodigesters able to process all the solid and liquid waste via phyto-remediation.
An indoor fountain of recovered water humidifies and freshens the air with a soothing murmur.
Gray water coming from baths and showers is cleaned by vines of Ivy crawling on the outdoors, flowing to a pond full of plants and colorful fish while a fountain throws jets of water upwards, to aerate the pond, effortlessly, no need for cbles, pipes or far-away sources. This dwelling is a living machine.
In the mean time the hybrid human powered / biofuel / electric vehicle is being recharged by a photovoltaic hybrid array. The vehicle(s), while connected, are part of a virtual “grid” and act as auxiliary power generators.
The design is up to aviation standards “the apex of industry and innovation” (BF) for their simplicity, economy, reliability, efficiency and elegance.
PHASE III – Chaskawatana community:
It is designed based on simple and functional comfort, similar to villages, vacation resorts, universities, spa’s and/or combinations thereof.
The core of the community is a Sustainable Industrial Park - recovery sea water and gray water, rainwater, purification and re-generation of streams and ponds. Aquaculture.
Currently, we are participaring on the development of a pilot plant & research for Renewable Energy Laboratory with emphasis of the most efficient recovery of lithium and its derivates in Uyuni, Bolivia with the auspices of the American Indians in celebration of the declaration of the rights of the Indigenous people and in coincidence with the bicentennial project of the OAS – Organization of American Estates.
FINANCE & MARKETING
Cleanergie’s objective will be met by having a short-run production of prototypes for public awareness and a training facility for selected intern-employees to acquire knowledge and experience for the growth of the company and the industry in general.
Additional revenue forecasted by spin-offs, royalties & direct selling of products and related services.
PHASE I: Cleanergie Shelter
Direct financing, grants, current and future contracts, awards and other financial incentives are much of the funding for this phase.
PHASE II: Sustainable Laboratory
Research, experimentation and development, Financed mainly by strategic alliances and joint ventures with manufacturers, contractors, vendors, academia, and commerce.
PHASE III: Chaskawatana community
Academic and Industrial parks with residential clusters and recreation. Funded by International Organizations, Multidisciplinary Consortiums and Government Institutions.
Currently located in Osterville, MA with correspondent offices in: Plymouth, MA, Novi, MI; Washington DC, Rockford, MA, New York, NY; Miami, FL. Bonn, Germany, Cochabamba, Bolivia; Wainuiomata, NZ.
