Jul 78 International Directory of Appropriate Technology Resources
COMPILED BY BRIJ MATHUR
TA INTRODUCTION
The International Directory of Appropriate Technology Resources is one of VITA's contributions to efforts underway to facilitate the sharing of information and technical resources. In mid-June 1977, VITA staff mailed a questionnaire to organizations known to be involved in some aspect of "appropriate technology." Most of the information in this volume has been compiled from responses to this survey. In addition, to make the 'Directory' as complete as possible use has been made of information from other direc tories and newsletters, such as UK Commonwealth Secretariat's Directory of AT Institutions, TRANET Newsletter, Rain magazine, and other AT magazines. This directory is in three parts. Part One lists the organizations alphabetically by countries. Part Two provides lists of publications, reports, papers, etc., published by these organizations. Part Three is a Subject Index to facilitate use of the material. There are over 250 entries in this directory, and it is only a beginning. However, the process of collecting data can never really finish, soit is time to call a halt and make available what has been compiled to date. The information collection efforts continue! If you know of organizations and efforts which should be registered here, please send along a brochure, in formation sheet, etc., so that we can add that group. We are purposefully printing this manual at VITA in small quantities so that we can add and update often. A copy of the questionnaire has been inserted for your convenience.

5. ACTIVITIES AND FUNCTIONS: CIDERE isan institution whose nucleus is formed by industries and universities working collectively towards the future economic and social development of the Biobio region. Their efforts are united with institutions of similar intent. CIDERE continues to focus on generating massive occupational opportunities and income for the region. It received a $50,000 donation from AID in February 1976 1hich has greatly intensified their activities. Emphasis is directed towards the incorporating the impoverished sector into the economic activity of the region by means of developing appropriate technologies. Goods produc tion, as a result, has reached an annual total sales of $6,000,000, the large part of which has either been exported or served as import substitutes.
Amo.g CIDERE's main priorities are: utilization of natural resources so as to develop the region's potential generation, in a short lapse of time, of productive activities in the rural zones by means of simple technology suitable for the non-technically competent labor force, and, in general, creation of small and medium sized industries requiring low inversion levels. Areas of interest include: agricultural implements; agriculture/ animal husbandry; crafts production/marketing; low-cost housing/construc tion; methane gas; small-scale industries; solar energy; water power; and wind power.

HORIZONTAL DRUM BIOGAS PLANT - This produces enough gas for cooking one to two meals per day. Uses principally 55-gallon drum components. Heated to optimal temperature by snlar flat plate collectors. Includes data for sizing heat storage and sular collectors for various heat loss conditions in the United States. ($5.00) 2. 55-GALLON DRUM STOVE - Plans show preheating of air and after burner principle to burn excess wood gas. Optimal draft control using bimetal' strip from automobile manifold. This stove has been personally made by its Northeastern distributor for himself and he reports it as better than the Ashley Stove. Plans show p,.ovision for cook top, oven, hot water heater and humidifier. Complete operating instructions included. Costs about $35-50 to build. ($5.00) 3. ELECTRONIC DIFFERENTIAL THERMOSTAT* This switch controls the solar col lector pump which is used when your heat storage tank is below or at the same level as your solar collector. Its purpose is to assure that no water or air is ever pumped from the solar collector when it is cooler than the heat storage tank interior no matter what temperatures each system has obtained. Normal thermostats cannot perform this job. Simi lar control units are on the market for $35-l10. Our system uses less expensive components to accomplish the same task and can be assembled for $12-20 and use of a soldering gun. Parts list, wiring diagram and photos supplied. ($2.00) 4. MAX'S SOIL-TEST MINI-LAB - An operational manual for sampling, setting up a portable soil laboratory, and conducting tests on soil samples to determine their engineering possibilities as soil-cement. Beginning with a description of how to construct a simple grid, boring with a hand auger, bagging and tagging samples, the manual then lists all the lab apparatus needed to conduct tests and gives a step-by-step procedure for using the equipment. Results of the tests answer such questions as (1) Is the material suitable for soil cement? (2) If so, how much stabilizer is needed to get good blocks? and (3) What additional soil materials, kinds and amounts, need to be added for best engineering re sults. These tests are also relevant for rammed garth and to a lesser extent adobe. Manual will be periodically updated to include tests for using earth materials not commonly used at this time, such as caliche, iron ore, pozolan, fly ash, and diatomaceous earth. Second edition re vised to include section on adobe materials. ($4.00) 5.

CALICHE REPORT - Much of the work at Max's Pot is not attempting to pro duce original innovation as much as it is to borrow from a rich accumu lation of already culturally and technically tested devices and approaches toward the built environment. In this case, however, we think we are opening up a new area of earth building since caliche has not had appreciable amounts of work done on it related to earth building. The report has a general world wide map of deposits (9%of the earth's sur face) with a detailed map of Texas. It describes the history of our test results of stabilizing with only about 3-5% cement and possible chemical stabilization without cement. ($5.00) 8. WATER REPORT - This study goes over the basic issues involved with alter native waste disposal systems covering chemical, incineration, organic and just simply low water systems and the issue of what to do with grey water. The report covers the economics of small scale control of the waste and water problem by using Austin as an example including future money being proposed for extended water/waste water bonds within the region. Over 60 products, addresses, and costing information data are given in a rather complete 70+ page report. ($6.00) 9. REGIONAL IDENTIFICATION OF PASSIVE CLIMATIC SYSTEMS, INCLUDING THE USE O! MASSIVE INDIGENOUS BUILDING MATERIALS - Speech by P. Fisk at University of Houston Energy Institute, January 10-12, 1977. This talk presented the basic difference between 1950's climate and architecture approach to design and a new more dynamically responsive technique that borrows from a plethora of climatic systems that man has derived over the ages. These systems can be combined and skillfully tailored to the particular climatic cycles of a region, along with massive earth building techni ques which together can supply most all heating and cooling needs in many areas of the U.S. ($1.50) 10. PERFORMANCE ISSUES RELATED TO INDIGENOUS BUILDING MATERIALS AND REGIONAL CLIMATIC SYSTEMS - This testimony describes the importance of the relation ship between these building materials and various passive climatic systems for heating and cooling. Energy and labor costs of earth building are presented along with a list of 20 different passive climate techniques from around the world. ($2.00) PLANS UNDER DEVELOPMENT (NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME) 1. 2 KW INA GARBAGE CAN - Plans for "Kit '0Parts" wind generator. Simple construction. No welding or fiberglassing. Uses thick-walled aluminum electric conduit for carriage. American Motors spindle for hub. Electron feather-system should yield approximately 50-60 KwH/month in 15-20 mph wind. Many parts are specified that are produced by other new Appropriate Technology concerns in the United States. THE CENTER FOR MAXIMUM POTENTIAL BUILDING SYSTEMS- SERIAL#223 (continued) construct 2. SOLAR WATER WALL - This wall uses common 5-gallon bottles to a solar collector and heat storage walls all in one. Using the proper orientation and proper ratio of surface wall to living structure cubic footage, you can supply from 45%-70% of your heating needs. Bottles can be individually drained of their colored water to let sun light directly into the living space. 3. CANNED HEAT - Plans for all tin-can solar collector and heat storage system. Low in cost because it uses very easily obtainable but dis carded materials. Specifies materials, construction and sizing infor mation. 4. TOWER OF POWER, or A MULTI-USE WIND TOWER/THERMAL CHIMNEY - Designed to give much fuller use to a wind generator tower than merely to support a generator. We find two simple uses for the tower which incorporate the local microclimate to heat and cool a structure. A thermal chim ney uses the principle of the stack effect or the air movement created ina chimney structure to move air through a room and then out. Our tower absorbs solar energy to increase the heat and in turn the air movement within the chimney so that within the dwelling a breeze is created which increases as the heat of the day increases. We find our tower will function in about 25% of the U.S. as a breeze system and in about 60% of the U.S. as a kind of solar engine if the house structure is attached to an underground tunnel so that the incom ing air is first cooled by the constant temperature of the earth. Tom Jefferson's underground passages at Monticello incorporate a similar cooling principle. Once a structure has incorporated the underground tunnel for cooling, we find this tower will serve as a heating aid as well. Air circulates first through the tunnel, becoming slightly heated by the constant temperature of the earth before entering the dwelling. This controlled air passage tends both to relieve the unpredictable air filtration through doors and windows and to heat the structure by preheating in coming air. 5. WATER WALL SOLAR GREENHOUSE - Utilizes a water wall solar collector heat storage system in a way that prevents high heat gain in greenhouse proper during midday in the winter. This usual conflict between heat and light control is solved Ina simple and very economical manner. The greenhouse uses CO derived from excess gas from composting process and and a thermal chimhey to pull the CO through the greenhouses as solar radiation and greenhouse heat build 9p. 6. REGIONAL RESOURCE AND HOW-TO SHEETS - These sheets include both a regional data base for differential indigenous resources in Texas and information on how to use this data for life-support systems. For example, domestic water supply starts out with regional data that impinges on this re source issue, such as ground water conditions including availability, depth, quality, surface water conditions and precipitation throughout the state. Differvnt water-obtaining techniques with the appropriate THE CENTER FOR MAXIMUM POTENTIAL BUILDING SYSTEMS - SERIAL'#223(continued) information required to size these systems. Cistern information will include sizing according to roof areas, precipitation and level of use. Solar stills have sizing conditions relative to solar radiation and output. Windmill information is presented with wind data for the state, pumping depth capability and output according to propeller size. Similar information is provided for indigenous building materials with state-wide maps. Other information includes climatic data and adaptive strategies in different climatic regions. Wind generator output is given for electric power according to wind isobars for the state and percentage of time for different wind speeds. State-wide soil productivity for food production and procedures for different food growing techniques with comparative yields is given. Finally, state map shows other organizations involved in Appropriate Technology as well as product distributors, salvage yards, etc. This project is in prepara tion. Some sections are already complete while others are being com pleted. This is conceived as an on-going project at the Laboratory and will be distributed in an add-to, loose-leaf form. 7. CALCRETE - KEMCRETE SYSTEM - Caliche earth formulas, fabrication and test data for conversion of caliche into calcrete building components. Max's Pot developed this technique for using one of the most common earth materials found in the Southwestern United States. Compression tests prove this material to be stronger than cement masonry blocks. A continuing study of this material is underway with updates to follow. *Electronic differential thermostat (page 1) - A kit version of this is avail able.
