Folio

Things that do not exist yet, drawn to show how they would work.

Each folio is one idea I have carried around for years: a drawing that shows how it would work, notes in the margin, and an honest account of what stands in the way.

None of these are products. They are proposals, published so they can be argued with, borrowed, or proved wrong.

  1. Folio I

    The Sunlit Half

    Half the world is always in daylight. A cable around the planet could share it with the other half.

    Ring ≈ 27,000 km · ±1,100 kV DC overland · ±525 kV under sea
  2. Folio II

    The Last Laundry Day

    What if clothes were cleaned where they hang, and laundry stopped being a chore you carry around the house?

    One garment per bay · 7 cm bay pitch · ≈ 4 L per wash, rinse reused
  3. Folio III

    A Street That Keeps Watch

    When one house is in trouble, the street should know in seconds. All it shares is the alarm.

    Alarm to 80 m in under 1 s · ≈ 44 m per hop · Shares alarms only
