it's Thursday tradition here at home biogas that means banana pancakes a 2015 we launched the first IndieGoGo campaign showing the world how to turn this into this an idea from a backyard appliance that turns organic food scraps into cooking gas must first of its kind we were so excited to see all these people from all over the world enjoying the system the first campaign enabled us to get home bogus to the heart of remote communities they need people who have been cooking over fire would suddenly had clean free energy it was a huge step in fulfilling our vision the amazing support inspired us to think forward what if we could take the humble gas appliance make it even better and reduce its overall cost it took us over a year home bogus 2.0 is an advanced appliance that produces green renewable energy installation is now simpler just fill the digester with water mount the gas container using the supplied sandbags and you're ready to go the 2.0 version is 50 percent more productive easier to maintain and super durable we've also added a home ba gas stove to give you the perfect solution an average family produces about two liters of waste a day why should organic waste go into giant polluting landfills when it can go back into nature home bogus 2.0 can now produce up to three hours of cooking gas per day more than enough for an average family plus a top quality completely organic fertilizer that goes back into the soil your own backyard eco cycle once food waste goes in the bacteria digest the organic material and released bogus and fertilizer no electricity is required it is completely safe to use order less and can digest anything from fruits and veggies to meat and dairy more and more people are beginning to reduce reuse and recycle as a way of life Nature has given us so much now it's time to give back we have evolved alongside the honeybee in the symbiotic relationship we care for them they pollinate our crops and of course made lots of delicious honey but getting the golden nectar has always been quite a task I just thought it was crazy to have to crack the hive open for the hive apart stress out all the bees and spend all day in the shed just to get your honey and I thought hmm there must be a better way so my dad and I got to work and we've done it now you can simply turn a tap and pure fresh honey flows right out of your mind delicious ready for you to eat that's amazing it's amazing it's honey on tap for those that don't know harvesting your honey used to be a real labor of love you had to protect yourself from stings fire for smoker to sedate the bass crack the hive open lift heavy boxes pull out the frames try not to squash bees brush them off the comb so use a leaf blower transport the frames to a processing shed cut the wax capping off filter the honey and clean up all the mess then the frames have to get back to the hives again now you don't need to do any of that turner tap sit back and watch the honey pour out it's pure unprocessed untouched delicious honey directly from the hive no mess no fuss no expensive equipment and much more friendly for the bees this is the first time in the world this has been possible there is nothing else like it it really is a revolution we can see into the hive we can see when the honey's ready and we can take it away in such a gentle way what a wonderful thing the flow frames are designed with clear ends so you can easily check the hive is healthy and the colony is Jong you can watch all the girls handing nectar into honey and see when it's ready and isolate individual combs allowing you to taste all the different flavours of the seasons you can just have us one frame and get three kilograms of honey or harvest more than 20 kilograms per box but you know tap it off so easily means that when there is a good honey flow you can keep up with the bees and harvest a lot more honey so how does it work the flow foam consists have already partly formed honeycomb cells the bees complete the comb with their wax and fill the cells with honey capping it off ready for harvest when you turn the handle our patented split cell technology creates channels inside the comb allowing the honey to flow down and out of the hive while the bees are undisturbed on the comb surface turn the tap again which resets the comb into the original position and allows the bees to cheer the wax back and fill it with honey again for the commercial beekeeper the frames are built to accommodate a pneumatic system which means you can flick a switch and harvest your whole a pre at once we've been testing prototypes with beekeepers from around the world I've spent hours taking honey out of highs this system is just blows my mind I'm sorry I was very excited too and it actually worked Oh actually put the tubes in and watch the honey come out I was sitting there going I was completely amazed and surprised at the amount of honey that came out it was easy to use and there was a very little disturbance to the whole hive it's this over-simplistic idea of how I've been working again here we've actually accomplished that one year go we promised you a solar car that cost sixteen thousand year and has a range of 250 kilometres and guess what we made it but why did we build a sign humanity burns 61% of the world's oil resources only for transportation we were sick of being part of this problem so we decided to build a car in our garage which will become a part of the solution to spread our vision we launched a crowdfunding campaign with an unbelievable result the campaign became a huge success thousands of people from all over the world started to support us we recruited an excellent team and moved into a bigger office with the right partners on our side we could finally start building design cars body is covered with highly efficient solar cells thanks to this feature design becomes a mobile power station you can also recharge other electric vehicles anywhere anytime as an air filter we integrated a special moss it filters up to 20% of the fine dust while requiring no special care the sign costs 16,000 years concerning the battery you can either decide to rent it or buy it right away we kept the car as simple as possible without compromising on safety and usability so no motors has only come so far because of all the great people who share our vision and supported us from the very beginning to go into volume production we need five thousand pre-orders together we can achieve this goal and end our dependency on oil majority of my childhood was always within the water there's nothing worse than being out there surrounded by plastic I was a product designer in another life and it was my job to make plastic products and after a while I realized that we didn't need the stuff that I was making and so I stopped I met Andrew and he told me about his project and I just clicked for me the project was amazing we could have a better time at the beach because we're not swimming in plastic and pollution anymore we'd even eat better because the fish healthier arenas ports and yacht clubs is the perfect place for the Sieben there's no massive ocean storms it's a controlled environment it catches everything floating in the water plastic bottles paper oil fuel and detergent 24 hours a day seven days a week 365 days a year another good thing with the location of the CBN is that people can see what we're catching what they're swimming in it's been a big change in our life we quit our jobs we've taken all our money and we're putting their heart and souls into making this happen one of our goals is to make the seaman from our own plastics to create another seven to capture more it's a domino effect the second goal is to create a world where we don't need the sea beans imagine that we have a pollution-free ocean for our future generations in 2010 I lived with a boot boot tribe in Kalinga with no electricity they would leave at 3 a.m. to walk 6 hours to buy a supply of kerosene they did this every two days so they could have light in the evenings salt and water are in all Filipino homes I wanted to help with my background in science I asked myself if I could find a chemical reaction with basic salt and water to make sustainable electricity I was told this was impossible I tried and failed repeatedly after many attempts we had our breakthrough one day I got a call from the White House they wanted me to speak on a panel with President Obama an ecommerce billionaire Jack Ma for the 2015 a cup summit since then we had lucrative drug venture offers from different countries but my dreams to have our invention completely designed manufactured and distributed from the Philippines our innovation is not restricted to lands this technology is scaleable my vision is to make seawater power plants that fuel entire islands in the Philippines and beyond
