The
Human-Powered Home: Choosing Muscles Over Motors
by Tamara Dean
What
if I could harness this energy? An unusual question for anyone
putting in a long stint on a treadmill perhaps, yet human power
is a very old, practical, and empowering alternative to fossil
fuels. Replacing motors with muscles can be considered a political
act-an act of self-sufficiency that gains you independence.
The
Human-Powered Home is a one-of-a-kind compendium of human- powered
devices gathered from a unique collection of experts.
Enthusiasts point to the advantages of human power:
Portable
and available on-demand
Close
connection to the process or product offers more control
Improved
health and fitness
The
satisfaction of being able to make do with what is available
This book discusses the science and history of human power and
examines the common elements of human-powered devices. It offers
plans for making specific devices, grouped by area of use, and
features dozens of individuals who share technical details and
photos of their inventions.
For
those who want to apply their own ingenuity, or for those who
have never heard of human-powered machines, this book is an excellent
reference. For those who are beginning to understand the importance
of a life of reduced dependency on fossil fuels, this book could
be a catalyst for change.
