[Stoves] [biochar] "Maker Movement"

[Art Donnelly]

Ron,
Bravo! The maker movement has potential for "disruptive innovation".  See
the Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disruptive_innovation
It is the progeny of our community tool libraries and cooperative art and
craft spaces. In our society sharing was a disruptive innovation 40 years
ago.

"The term "*disruptive technology*" has been widely used as a synonym of
"disruptive innovation", but the latter is now preferred, because market
disruption has been found to be a function usually not of technology itself
but rather of its changing application."

My last metal studio space was a sublet in a "maker space" in Seattle.
Seattle is a hot-spot  for the maker movement and I benefited a lot from
that experience. I think the evolution of the Estufa Finca biochar stove
did as well. I will be in Seattle for a few days before the ETHOS
conference, I plan to share a new prototype stove at the conference. I will
be fine tuning it at the Ballard Maker Space next week. So, I can not 3-D
print a stove...yet, but now I can realistically dream about doing it and
that is the important 1st step in making it happen.
