Protein-Grafted Edible Resin For High-Volume Injection Molding April or Earth Month is a perfect time, especially in the post Artemis II glow, to put forth environmental design initiatives. Both of the attached presentations concern the modifications of existing industrial processes in order to modernize and optimize them for sustainability and public health. Both are important,Continue reading “Earth Month Project & Process Designs 🌎”

Studio Shangri-La Research Notes: Pathways From Plastic To Water
In constructing a process and device that uses a photochemistry to break down or rather transform plastics into useful byproducts such as water and hydrogen, it becomes necessary to delve into of course photonics, chemistry, physics, earth science and of course experimentation, application of the concepts in a learn-by-doing style. Climate action is of courseContinue reading “Studio Shangri-La Research Notes: Pathways From Plastic To Water”
Studio Shangri-La Lab Notes: Improved Air Quality & Flashing Lights
Here comes Earth Month and onwards with the journey of the ‘Black Pearl’ — testing title only. It will definitely receive an uncontested name later on. Interestingly, the next emissions and variation test yielded even more improved air quality. The difference here was improving the components to be more streamlined, and the lights were flashingContinue reading “Studio Shangri-La Lab Notes: Improved Air Quality & Flashing Lights”
Project for MIT Solve Climate Adaptation: Rapid Photodegradation Of Plastics In A Portable Device
A concept worth sharing: Enhancing the process that would occur naturally in a landfill by concentrating different types of UV light in an EM radiation resistant receptacle — or, a next level trash can. Imagine what that would achieve for waste reduction, with materials like ‘forever’ plastics never even entering the typical waste management system.Continue reading “Project for MIT Solve Climate Adaptation: Rapid Photodegradation Of Plastics In A Portable Device”
In The Studio: The Process Of Mixed Media “Alchemy Sun”
“Alchemy Sun” has been a delight to work on and has inspired a patient, methodical mindset. Fitting with the title, the next stage of work on it will see it become more refined and bold. It’s already come a long way from the initial computer graphic inspiration to the canvas. Sometimes bringing a concept toContinue reading “In The Studio: The Process Of Mixed Media “Alchemy Sun””
Titus Oceanus: A Sculptural Journey
Titus: honorable or strong; of the giants Oceanus: the ocean, of the ocean This is a 7 foot driftwood piece and here’s the story: This highly sculptural piece of driftwood showed up seemingly out of place in an urban environment. On my walk I passed by it several times before deciding to pick it up.Continue reading “Titus Oceanus: A Sculptural Journey”
Eco + Tech: Flash Biodegradability Pt. 1 — Concept Adaptation & Development
The concept of Flash Biodegradability is directly inspired by the above achievement of James Tour and team at Rice University, making “flash graphene” out of trash, a carbon byproduct. Flash Biodegradability would ideally leave no tangible byproduct, such as trace elements or light — or create a useful byproduct such as water. Its successful realizationContinue reading “Eco + Tech: Flash Biodegradability Pt. 1 — Concept Adaptation & Development”
