Innovation, Experimentation, and Education

Through a novel approach with citizen-science to energy use and local food system development, we have discovered a way using action research to repurpose, recycle, and re-use heat from digital assets. #thinkingcap #poic

With the science behind low thermal heat induction, we are growing food in the middle of winter with free energy. Typically, this greenhouse technology is very expensive and with paying for energy once we are able to use the energy multiple times with earth batteries/banks and other technologies.

The Learning Employment Record (LER)

The workforce and industry has evolved. Colleges and universities much adapt and overcome this rapidly evolving environment impacted by technology, politics, and demographics. To learn about the LER, you can learn more here:

Food Systems – Greenhouse Technology & Low Thermal Energy

As access to fresh produce and local food gains more traction, greenhouse development in microclimate environments is an important, if not critical, aspect of the food system and entrepreneurial activity. Alongside the growing importance of fresh food and produce are the aspects of energy complicated by many aspects. In this case, there are opportunities to repurpose energy for two or three revolutions through low level thermal energy and heat induction.

Specifically, is it possible to exchange added value energy from heat into multiple verticals that include food, hydrology, or geospatial distribution? To test this novel theory, we have developed the Sensible Heat Utilizing Recovery Technique (SHURT) model.

We will be testing and evaluating different layers of the SHURT model in a small greenhouse (14×30) to propagate, grow, and harvest test crops (like tomatoes, lettuce, etc.) for local consumption using a variety of heat exchanges from data centers and other digital assets to water, earth, and greenhouse infrastructure.

Organizations That Learn.

Some organizations can pivot in the margins or adapt to changing business climate rapidly. Today, we have more generations in the workforce than at any other time. Read my article on LinkedIn titled The Learning Organization and a Multi-generation Workforce.

We discuss how to embrace a multi-generation workforce because organizations must not only learn to communicate in different ways with employees they must embrace generative learning in order to see the world in new ways. This iteration will allow organizations to pivot through disruption and innovation.
