SUMMARY The Living Water Solar Cooperative, or LWSC, exists to improve planets and people. LWSC is a non-profit

research and development organization chartered in the state of Tennessee, USA. LWSC founders are

Christians, and we look forward to working with people of all beliefs regardless of where you are on your

faith journey.

An easy way to think about LWSC is as a ministry that runs a company. We think about challenges and

solutions to problems from both ends of the spectrum. At first glance these two paths may appear to be

opposites with little in common.

People Profits

As each project team proceeds down both paths we often find excellent synergies emerge. We begin

every project by asking the same questions from both a Godly and Worldly perspective:

Once it is clear there are “Win – Win” opportunities the decision is made to continue the project.

LWSC has three missions:

Help like-minded people all over the world find each other and collaborate on new and exciting

solutions to local, national, global, and planetary problems.

Create next generation (NEXTGEN) concepts, technologies and products that maximize

renewable energy and resources.

Help people find their way to God, and to His Son, Jesus Christ.

LWSC is bringing people together to make their lives, and the lives of others better. We help ignite

imagination and innovation by bringing new ideas and concepts. We use social media to start this process

and then give people the opportunity to join the co-op. Members gain access to information not available

publicly and join one or more projects.

LWSC projects are designed to accomplish two goals; rapidly change people’s perceptions and attitudes,

and increase quality of life for a great many people, especially those in great need. Our projects strive to

create products and processes that can be made, installed, operated and maintained locally. We

recognize that training is an integral part of product development.

How It Works The Internet now reaches over half of the world’s population and provides a way to electronically “glue”

people, products and solutions together. They may be your neighbors, or totally strangers thousands of

kilometers / miles apart. Currently there are 3 billion+ people with internet access who can join with us.

LWSC provides the central point that connects people together. It has four parts:

LWSC Public: Provides global image and message, available to

anyone on the Internet, free of charge. Anyone can access and

download select LWSC.

LWSC Private: Provides the central, safe repository for intellectual

property, concepts, processes, and product designs developed by

LWSC members. Access requires LWSC membership.

LWSC Members: We have five levels of membership.

LWSC Projects: The main tool we use to make it work. Project member identities, their communications,

project information and data, concepts and designs are stored in LWSC’s on-line, private, secure servers.

Membership rolls are only available to other members and never shared “outside” without individual

permission. We assist members in protecting their Intellectual property with copyrights and patents.

LWSC provides assistance with project and financial management. LWSC is a non-profit cooperative, and

as excess funds flow into LWSC they are redistributed to the members. LWSC members propose projects

and they vote to decide which projects receive funding. We anticipate assisting with managing licensing,

royalties, and other sources of revenue coming from product, process and systems sales.

LWSC Projects These are three types of LWSC projects; Worldly, Godly, and Fun. LWSC projects are

introduced to the public domain using social media. Project “launch videos” and

public documents are available on our public website, Facebook and YouTube. When

a project introduction generates sufficient interest, the project is launched within

LWSC.

Thirty-three projects have been identified as of 1 April, 2019. We expect this number to rise rapidly as

new members are added and they bring their imagination, inspiration and innovation. As of 1 April, 2019,

three projects have started and three in the final planning stages. They are:

1. The Solar Barn Project (started 2017)

2. The SUN WIND FIRE Rain Project (started 2018)

3. The NEXTGEN Truck Wash Project (started 2019)

4. The Intelligent Array Project (final planning before startup)

5. Farmers Grow Fuel Project (final planning before startup)

6. The Great French Broad River Race Project (final planning before startup)

LWSC Startup Projects

The first startup project is called The Solar Barn. It is an “internal” LWSC project which in time will gain

corporate and possibly government partners and sponsors.

This first project will research, design and build three

iterations of prototype structures at LWSC’s research

center located on Amazing Grace Farm, on top of Lookout

Mountain, near Chattanooga, Tennessee. Each design will

add, or “horizontally integrate” NEXTGEN renewable

energy and resource components.

The first structure will combine experimental “intelligent”

PV solar panels, experimental NEXTGEN wind generators,

experimental NEXTGEN geothermal storage, current

generation electrical storage and rainwater collection. The

structure will use classical “post and beam” structural

elements using CNC milling to achieve very high

mechanical tolerances.

The figure shows the nine companion projects that will be integrated with the Solar Barn project as it

progresses through three design and construction phases. Joint ventures and partnerships will be

encouraged at phase and incorporated where it is mutually beneficial to both parties.

The second startup project is called SUN WIN FIRE RAIN. This project is challenging team members to

discover what is needed to make Chattanooga, Tennessee 100% fossil fuel free. This includes replacing

petroleum, coal, natural gas, and nuclear. Natural gas is currently being marketed as “The Clean

Alternative” but it is still a fossil fuel and takes “old” carbon that has been underground for millions of

years and moves it into today’s environment.

LWSC has included nuclear power in the “fossil fuel

mix”. LWSC has a clear appreciation for nuclear

energy but the nuclear waste problem as defied

solution for decades, and if a solution cannot be

found alternatives will have to be put in place as the

aging nuclear power plants are decommissioned.

A Meetup site has been established for the project

and currently has 20 members. LWSC is actively

recruiting team researcher and project / task

leaders.

https://www.meetup.com/Sun-Wind-Fire-and-Rain/



The third startup project, called The NEXTGEN Fleet Wash Project is LWSC’s first partnership with a

private company. This project will help define how LWSC interfaces with for-profit organizations.

TBCI is a small for-profit corporation which provides large-scale commercial fleet washing systems.

Current generation systems make extensive use of environmentally unfriendly chemicals like hydrofluoric

acid and consume large quantities of water which ends up in municipal waste treatment streams.

TBCI is a leader in using rainwater collection and wash water treatment which greatly reduces the amount

of “city” water needed to operate the wash process. This project will expand this baseline and research

new ways to complete the cleaning process with major reductions in the energy, water and toxic

chemicals required while simultaneously reducing the “cost per wash”.

The fourth startup project is called The Intelligent Array Project. This NEXTGEN project will explore the

rapidly developing and expanding introduction of intelligent devices into our daily world, and how they

can speed the introduction of renewable energy and resources into the mainstream.

IAP prototypes will be added to the Solar Barn designs as

they become available. The first development component

will add intelligent controllers to each PV solar panel. The

panels will be interconnected via a fault-tolerant local area

network. They will be monitored, and later controlled by

prototype “master controllers” that are also being developed

as part of this project.

As the Solar Barn designs progress, additional prototype IAP

components will include prototype NEXTGEN HVAC, lighting

and storage (electrical and thermal). NEXTGEN wind turbines

will also be incorporated as they become available for field

testing.

The fifth startup project is called Farmers Grow Fuel Project. This NEXTGEN project will explore how

farmers, large and small, from around the world can start or expand growing the fuel they need to power

their farm equipment and processes. Research will also investigate existing farm equipment that can be

effectively modified to use 100% “home grown” biofuels, and NEXGEN farm equipment and processes

that can be powered entirely with renewable energy and resources.

A key part of this project is to analyze the “multiplier effect” possible when farmers grow their own fuel.

Home grown fuel is a renewable resource but it takes land away from food production. A “positive

multiplier effect” will occur when the farmer is able to increase food production using the home grown

fuel, with the possible addition of new equipment, that exceeds what they were previously able to grow

using fossil fuels or manual labor.

The sixth startup project is called The Great French Broad River Race project. It is a “fun” project with a

serious purpose, building awareness of renewable energy and resources, and the environment.



LWSC Worldly Projects These projects research and develop next generation (NEXTGEN) concepts, products, processes, systems

and solutions that maximize the use of renewable energy and resources, while minimizing fossil fuels.

Projects start with common goals:

Create NEXTGEN technologies, products and systems that “Do more and cost less”.

Create NEXTGEN technologies, products and systems that “simplify manufacture, construction,

operation and maintenance”.

Create NEXTGEN technologies, products and systems that “create or increase market share while

generating acceptable profit margins”.

Create NEXTGEN technologies, products and systems that improve the environment while

reducing or eliminating existing pollution.

Create NEXTGEN concepts that change “hearts and minds” to gain widespread acceptance to

become the new market baseline.

Create a new paradigm that “sees” these projects as stepping stones to future versions that can

successfully operate on Earth, the Moon, Mars and beyond.

LWSCR.001 Solar Barn Project

This master project will research, design

and build three NEXTGEN structures that

maximize the use of renewable resources

and energy and eliminate the need for

fossil fuels. The result will create self-

sustaining structures capable that can be

connected to local utility intelligent

microgrids. Excess energy and resources

will be shared with neighbors via a

microgrid or bartered with our friends.

This project is “linked” with nine other projects, and their research, technologies,

designs and products incorporated into the Solar Barn design and construction.

Sun Wind Fire Rain Project LWSCR.012

Three NEXTGEN structures will be constructed at LWSC’s research facility located on Amazing

Grace Farm which is on top of Lookout Mountain near Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. LWSC will

assist project members in building similar structures around the world. Multi-site designs and

data and findings will be combined and made available to LWSC members at regular intervals.



LWSCR.002 Solar Saw Project

This project is exploring the feasibility and viability of

constructing a small to medium wood sawmill and

millwork shop that is entirely powered by renewable

energy and constructed with renewable resources to the

maximum extent possible.

The starting point for this project is the recognition that

this mill, kiln and nursery must work in harmony with

nature. While direct solar energy can be stored for

future use, this project recognizes that there will be

times when the direct solar radiant energy is not

sufficient for the mill to run.

Following LWSC’s “Use it all” mindset, this project will:

1. Work in harmony with nature 2. Use solar energy to power all processes 3. Use solar energy in “direct”, “indirect” and “stored” forms 4. Minimize negative environmental impacts 5. Maximize positive environmental impacts 6. Be cost-competitive when all factors are considered

LWSCR.003 Intelligent Array Project

This project is exploring the feasibility and viability of

adding individual intelligence to NEXTGEN renewable

energy elements, and then integrating them into a fault-

tolerant local network. The heart of this concept is

redundant controllers that continuously monitor,

command and control all aspects of energy /resource

supply, demand and storage. This requires every

element to have on-board intelligence, capable of

making independent, automatic decisions while

responding to centralized instructions from the main

controllers.

This next generation concept will operate autonomously,optimizing energy and resource

utilization, or respond to manual commands. The array can operate independently, or as an

integral part of a larger, intelligent network.

This project is closely linked to other projects which use this “core” technology as the “glue” to

combine and control new, “smart power” elements.

This project will also explore how IAP systems can be integrated into NEXTGET microgrids.



TRhis

LWSCR.004 Healthy Spaces Project

This project is totally “rethinking” how today’s homes, offices and factories controls their interior

environments, combined with major improvements in air and water quality. Today there are

millions of homes and businesses that use HVAC systems that are installed in crawlspaces. With

the invention of the heat pump in the 1960s, builders and owners began to install forced air

systems in crawlspaces underneath the living spaces to reduce initial construction costs.

Unfortunately they also built curtain walls to enclose the crawlspaces which trap moisture. Once

the humidity goes above approximately 50% many types of mold and bacteria can and do grow. If

there are leaks in the HVAC system ductwork the mold and bacteria will be pulled from the

crawlspaces into the living spaces. The medical industry is just beginning to understand the extent

of illness caused by breathing the crawlspace air.

This project begins in the Chattanooga Tennessee area with an analysis of how many homes and

businesses built with crawlspaces have leaks in the return air ductwork, allowing crawlspace air to

enter the living spaces. The project team will find or design simple instruments to detect and

measure the magnitude of the leaks. Project members are encouraged to repeat this analysis in

their area.

The next project step will research and design NEXTGEN HVAC prototype systems that minimize

or eliminate crawlspace installation. The step will also research and design crawlspace

encapsulation products and processes that reduce the current cost by an order of magnitude,

making encapsulation available to a great many.

The final project step will be to team with HVAC manufacturers and mechanical engineering and

construction firms to bring the NEXTGEN HVAC systems to the world market.

LWSCR.005 Tree of Life Biomass Project

This project is an internal study project that provides the baseline and

starting point for LWSCJ.005, a joint project between LWSC and commercial

companies. This project is creating NEXTGEN heating and cooling

technologies that use only renewable biomass feed stocks. For example,

NEXTGEN wood stoves will include on-board controllers and become

intelligent nodes on the Intelligent Array Network. They will be integrated

with other energy supply, demand, and storage elements. The NEXTGEN

stove will generate electricity and heat at the same time.

A key project goal is bringing European style boiler stoves to the Americas. This technology, and

its next generation will be horizontally integrated with related renewable resource and energy

technologies to provide sustainable heating for American homes and businesses. The heat

generated by burning biomass feedstocks will directly heat interior spaces as well as providing hot

water. Excess heat will be stored in NEXTGEN intelligent thermal batteries.



LWSCR.006 Living Water Project

This is LWSC’s first project and was started in 2011. It is exploring,

designing and developing fully self-contained potable water

systems. They will be powered by the best combination of

renewable energy sources that match local conditions. The designs

can be prefabricated off-site using world-standard seatainers, or

manufactured locally using local materials, labor, and downloadable

3D printer designs for complex parts like pumps. The final designs

must be affordable by local operators and their customers.

Locating and optimizing water sources is a key part of this project. A comprehensive water source

list will be created along with analyses of each type and the best renewable energy match for

collecting, pumping, processing, distributing and storing the water.

LWSC has previously developed its first generation rainwater collection system and this project

will continue the design and construction of the NEXTGEN rainwater system at Amazing Grace

Farm Research Facility. This system will integrate horizontally with multiple water needs

including:

Potable “drinking” water

Grey water

Irrigation water

Fire suppression water

NEXTGEN micro and mini water treatment systems will include on-board intelligence and a

bidirectional wireless internet link which will provide continuous quality assurance monitoring.

These and will be operated and maintained by local owners, operators and maintainers. Training

will be culturally matched and delivered by the wireless internet link.

This project is linked with LWSCJ.001 NEXTGEN Vehicle Wash Project, a Joint Effort with TBCI

Corporation. This joint project will make extensive use of rainwater collection and water treatment

processes developed as part of this project.

LWSCR.007 Farmers Grow Fuel Project

This master project is exploring NEXTGEN concepts that empower farmers to grow the fuel they need to

farm and also meet all of their family energy needs. Overall project goals:

• Home-grown renewable energy does more and cost less

• Home-grown fuel can be processed by local farmer co-ops

• Home-grown fuel has lower operating & maintenance costs

• Home-grown fuel become universal and affordable

The project has five parts:

1. Explore and develop NEXTGEN plants that are optimized for biofuel production and greatly

increase biofuel production per acre / hectare. Today’s biofuel plants range from 18 gallons

per acre (corn) to over 1,200 gallons per acre (diesel tree) (170liter/hectare to 12,000

liter/hectare). The highest producers currently only grow in frost-free climates.

2. The goal for this part of the project is to find and/or create biofuel plants that consistently

produce 600 gallons/acre (6,000liters/hectare) in tropical to moderate climates (less than 50

days per year below 32F / 0C). 600 gallons / 6,000 liters could be sufficient for a small farm

energy needs for an entire year. The project will also determine if the biofuel production

byproducts are suitable for human and/or animal consumption, their nutritional value and

their local market value.

3. Explore and develop NEXTGEN derivative plants that are suitable for either food or fuel, and

can product at least 300 Gallons/acre (3,000 liters/Hectare). Determine their suitability for

human and/or animal consumption and their nutritional value.

4. Explore and develop NEXTGEN biofuel processing technologies that are suitable for:

a. Small farms and villages

b. Medium farms and local/regional farm coops

c. Large-scale Industrial agricultural

5. Develop funding and deployment strategies at all three levels.

LWSCR.008 NEXTGEN Farm and Garden Project

This could become LWSC’s largest project. It will envision and develop a common “family tree” of

agricultural products and processes. These NEXTGEN concepts will range from a fractional

horsepower weed whacker powered by renewable energy to a 600 HP+ multi-row crop harvester,

also powered solely by renewable energy.

A key part of this project is developing a small hybrid farm tractor. In today’s market it is called

“The 25 Horsepower Class”. Weighing approximately 2,000 pounds / 1,000 kilograms, it is an

ideal size for small farmers around the world. The tractor will use a biofuel engine connected to a

generator (alternator) to charge batteries and power one or more electric motors. The lowest

cost version will be two wheel drive, with the four wheel drive module being an added cost option

that can be installed by the farmer with simple hand tools. The batteries will be standardized and

designed to be easily removable and moved to other farm equipment, the farm truck, or in the

home and barn.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_biofuel_crop_yields



LWSCR.009 NEXTGEN Superfoods Project

Currently there is an amazing amount of conflicting nutritional information, and it is constantly

changing. For example, one day eggs are “in”, and then they are “out”. What is the truth?

This project will cut through the hype and manipulation to find the truth. Human dietary needs

change as we grow older. So what are the very best foods we should eat at each stage of our

lives? Once we have “The List”, how do we change people’s attitudes and mindsets? How do we

grow The List, and where? This project will address these fundamental issues and much more.

LWSCR.010 NEXTGEN Large and Small-Scale Hydroelectric Project

This project will build on the small-scale hydroelectric projects and research NEXTGEN

technologies to help “grow” this market, especially in areas that are experiencing “energy

poverty”. A key area is analyzing river basins to connect multiple small-scale hydroelectric

generators into a multi-node network, maximizing the reuse of the water as it flows downstream.

LWSCR.011 NEXTGEN Geothermal Project

Geothermal energy technology is still in its infancy and there are exciting areas being explored

today. This project will gather information about new technologies, products and processes and

then build experimental installations at multiple locations around the world.

LWSCR.012 Sun Wind Fire Rain Project

This project starts in Chattanooga, Tennessee and hopefully will branch

out to many cities and towns around the world. It starts with this

fundamental question:

“What is needed to make Chattanooga 100% fossil fuel free?”

This project will assemble a local project team using a Meetup group

sponsored by LWSC. There are four major focus areas and team members

will chose the area(s) they are most interested in.

Each area will be quantified to determine today’s

baseline and determine future projections. The

members will then determine what must occur to

convert each area, and each user/customer group

from fossil fuels to 100% renewable energy and

resources.

Timelines will be developed and cost estimates

will be combined into a comprehensive plan for

moving forward.

Key study areas include determining the future of nuclear electric power generation in our area.

Our existing nuclear power plants are currently operating beyond their original design life and

must be retired in the future.

https://www.meetup.com/



Will we build replacement nuclear power plants, or replace the current nuclear electric

generation capacity with renewable energy and resources? LWSC’s current position is nuclear

energy was originally proposed as “Cheap, Clean and Safe”. Although Chattanooga has not

experienced a nuclear disaster, others have. In order for nuclear energy to continue it must

progress to an entirely new level of safety to both people and the environment. Until a successful

way can be found to safely reprocess the over 70 thousand tons of existing nuclear waste LWSC

does not support continuing nuclear-based electric power generation.

If nuclear electric power is going to “go away” in the Chattanooga area, which renewables are the

best near-term, medium term and long term solutions to replace the electric generation?

This issue is rapidly accelerating in the Chattanooga regional area. The Sequoia Nuclear Power

Plant, located in a northern Chattanooga suburb, began construction in 1970 and began operation

in 1981-82 and has faithfully served our area for over thirty years. Application process and

inspections are ongoing with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to renew the licenses on both

units; extending operation to 2040 and 2041, at which point the plant reactors will be over sixty

years old. Key questions to be addressed by this project are:

1. How safe is a 50+ year old nuclear power plant?

2. How much additional nuclear waste will be generated over the next twenty years, and

what will happen to it?

3. How much will it cost to modernize and extend the life from 30 to 70 years?

4. If the reactors are repaired and upgraded, how much will the electricity cost after the

renovations?

LWSC Joint Projects with Businesses and Governments LWSC recognizes the need to interface with for-profit businesses and non-profit government agencies and

departments at the local, national and global levels.

LWSCJ.001 NEXTGEN Fleet Wash Project (Joint Effort with TBCI)

This project will research and design NEXTGEN commercial / industrial vehicle wash systems that

optimize renewable resources and energy. Current systems use large amounts of water and

electricity, and often use natural gas to heat water. This project will research, design and develop

NEXTGEN vehicle wash products and systems, including versions that only use renewable

resources and energy and are fossil fuel free. This will progress through three stages:

Stage 1. Investigate inserting renewable energy and resources into the current vehicle

wash technology baseline.

a. Several recent wash systems have incorporated rainwater collection and on-

site process water purification. But are these additions cost-effective over the

life of the systems? This project will answer this question.

b. Adding solar, wind and geothermal energy sources and storage to the existing

vehicle wash baseline is possible, but is it profitable measured over the life of

the systems? This project will answer this question.

c. This project will investigate the feasibility of using different chemical-based

processes that cost less and are less harmful to the environment

Stage 2. Investigate what is required to wash and clean new and emerging vehicle designs

that are “all electric” (EV). This project will work with manufacturers to gather

their requirements and determine if existing chemical-based vehicle cleaning can

be used, or if a new method must be found.

Stage 3. This project will also look to the future by exploring the feasibility of building a

completely “off-the-grid” self-contained vehicle wash systems.

Vehicle Matrix

This project will address cleaning a broad range of vehicles from the smallest to the largest fleet

vehicles. The project is limited to land vehicles; boats and aircraft will be addressed in a later

companion project if there is sufficient interest.

LWSCJ.002 TechTools Project (Joint Partners to be Determined)

This project will team with technology organizations in both public and private sectors to make

technology tools available to all LWSC members at reduced or no cost. Five areas have been

identified at the start of the project and we expect many more to be added over time. These

areas are:

1. Computer Aided Design

2. Computer Graphics

3. 3D Printing

4. CNC Cutting and Milling

5. Cutting, Casting and Welding (metal, plastics and other materials)

LWSC anticipates that this project will spawn a department or division within LWSC.

LWSCJ.003 TechParts Project (Joint Partners to be Determined)

This project is a companion to the TechTools project and will team with technology organizations

in both public and private sectors to make technology parts, both “hard” and “soft” available to

all LWSC members at reduced or no cost. Six areas have been identified at the start of the project

and we expect many more to be added over time. These areas are:

1. Finished Materials (metals, plastics, fluids, chemicals)

2. Solar Panels (photovoltaic, thermal and hybrid)

3. Wind Turbine Components

4. Motors and Pumps

5. Computers, large and tiny, and PLCs

6. Hardware and Fasteners

LWSC anticipates that this project will spawn a department or division within LWSC.

LWSCJ.004 NEXTGEN Solar Panel Project (Joint Partners to be Determined)

This project will team with solar panel manufacturers and public sector organizations to create

the NEXTGEN solar panel technology. This next generation will have the capability to make

electricity and harvest heat with the same panel. This next generation will attempt to raise the

photovoltaic energy conversion efficiency from 20% to 40&. Three new panel definitions include:

1. Photovoltaic Only, with optional on-board modular intelligent inverter

2. Thermal Only

3. Hybrid Photovoltaic plus Thermal, with optional on-board modular intelligent inverter

All three panel types will use the same standardized mounting system. Additional goals include:

1. All panel designs will gain plugin on-board intelligent controllers and networking

2. All panel designs will be modular to world standards. These standards will:

a. Standardize power and signal wiring, plumbing connections



b. Standardize mechanical dimensions. Provide “slide in” or clip on” installation and

removal using simple hand tools

c. Standardize electrical and mechanical connections

LWSCJ.005 NEXTGEN Wind Generator Project (Joint Partners to be Determined)

This project will team with small-scale wind generator manufacturers and public sector

organizations to create the NEXTGEN wind generator technology. Current wind generators focus

on single unit installations. This new generation will expand the baseline to include multiple

turbines interconnected in an array. Each wind turbine generator becomes a “smart” module

with the addition of on-board intelligent controllers, become a node on the Intelligent Array

network, and use “common rail” mounting structures that allow the generators to easily slide on

and off the mount using simple hand tools.

Each generator will be continuously monitored by central controllers. Each generator will

automatically report fault conditions and be capable of automatically taking themselves off line.

Seven or more generator classes will be investigated, ranging from very small (Micro) to very large (Énorme). Their sizes will be determined by a volumetric cube. The starting points:

The Micro (100 mm3 - ~4” 3)

The Mini (500 mm3 - ~19.6” 3)

The Standard (1 m3 - ~39.4” 3)

The Standard Plus (1.5 m3 - ~5’ 3)

The Double Standard (2 m3 - ~6.5’ 3)

The Macro (3 m3 - ~9.8’ 3)

The Énorme (5 m3 - ~16.4’ 3) Both fixed and variable blade designs will be investigated. All classes will include some form of

weather protection to include, but not limited to:

Excessive Winds

o First round of development: 100 kph or 60 mph

o Second round of development: 200 kph or 120 mph

o Third round of development: 300 kph or 180 mph

Freezing Rain, Sleet and Snow

Temperature Extremes

o First round of development: -10oC to +50oC or 14oF to +122oF

o Second round of development: -20oC to +65oC or -4oF to +149oF

o Third round of development: -40oC to +85oC or -40oF to +185oF

Humidity Extremes – 0% to 100% condensing

Every NEXTGEN wind generator will include electromechanical protection mechanisms which can

operate autonomously or when commanded by the central controllers.



LWSCJ.006 NEXTGEN Biomass Project (Joint Partners to be Determined)

This project will create NEXTGEN heating and cooling technologies that use only renewable

biomass feed stocks. It is a follow-on to LWSC’s internal biomass combustor research project. This

project will partner with stove manufacturers around the world, and with public sector research

organizations.

This project has three parts:

NEXTGEN Biomass Combustor Design

Using Heat to Cool

Continued Biomass Research

NEXTGEN Biomass Combustor Design

NEXTGEN biomass combustors will include on-board controllers and become intelligent nodes on

the Intelligent Array Network. They will be integrated with other energy supply, demand, and

storage elements. The NEXTGEN stove will generate electricity and heat at the same time.

A key project goal is to bring European style boiler stove technology to the Americas. This

technology, and its next generation will be horizontally integrated with related renewable

resource and energy technologies to provide sustainable heating for American homes and

businesses. The heat generated by burning biomass feedstocks will directly heat interior spaces

as well as providing hot water. Excess heat will be stored in NEXTGEN intelligent thermal

batteries.

Using Heat to Cool

There are many areas around the world where cooling is not just a luxury, it is a necessity to

preserve a wide range of substances from food to pharmaceuticals. Experiments will explore how

to burn locally grown biomass to not only produce heat, to be used to help purify water for

example, but then using the waste heat to cool, and perhaps even freeze perishables. Maybe

even make ice cream! There are several new and exciting chillers coming to market in emerging

countries but they are solar powered. Developing new technologies that use biomass provides a

way to cool or freeze continuously.

Why biomass as the primary energy source? The sun and wind come and go, but a fire can be

kept burning continuously as long as there is sufficient stored feedstock.

Continued Biomass Research

Over the past 40 years there has been a wide range of biomass experiments, none of which have

made it to the mainstream market.



LWSCJ.007 NEXTGEN Energy Storage Project (Joint Partners to be Determined)

This project will create NEXTGEN energy storage technologies that have on-board intelligence and

are connected to the Intelligent Array controllers via redundant network connections. This project

will partner with researchers and manufacturers around the world.

This project starts with “thinking though” a unified approach to energy storage, horizontally

integrating today’s diverse baseline. Energy storage will include, but not limited to:

1. Electrical Energy

2. Thermal Energy

3. Mechanical Energy

A key part of this project is to develop the software to integrate multiple storage devices and

types into a unified solution that is able to automatically, or manually optimize the stored energy

in response to real-time supply and demand.

LWSCJ.008 SuperSIP Project (Joint Partners to be Determined)

This project will team with technology organizations in both public and private sectors to design

and build working “SuperSIP”, or SSIP prototypes for use in the Solar Barn Project. These next

generation structural insulated panels will be:

1. Built in a factory environment for direct installation on-site without additional fabrication.

a. Completely finished exterior surfaces and optionally completely finished interior

surfaces.

b. Include mounting points for direct installation by crane to structure.

c. Fabricated to NEXTGEN dimensional accuracy (2.5 mm / 0.1”)

2. Include all solar panel mounting rails and interconnection wiring, and plumbing if thermal

or hybrid panels are to be fitted.

3. Include all conduits and ductwork needed for electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems

integrated into the SSIP interior spaces and exterior surfaces.

4. Include integral windows, skylights and through-roof vents as required.

5. Fully tested and operational at the factory prior to shipping to the job site. This includes

but not limited to:

a. Dimensional testing

b. Electrical, mechanical and thermal testing

c. Structural and environmental testing

LWSCJ.009 NEXTGEN Systems and Solutions Project (Joint Partners to be Determined)

This project will team with technology organizations in both public and private sectors to create

or redistribute renewable energy and resource systems and solutions. We anticipate these will

include products developed by LWSC members and others from outside the organization that are

endorsed and approved by the membership. LWSC’s Healthy Spaces project is an example of this

process.



This project makes extensive use of Horizontal Integration. This concept reaches across many

“vertical” areas to combine concepts and products that initially often don’t seem to be related or

of value to each other.

LWSCJ.010 NEXTGEN Power Project (Joint Partners to be Determined)

This project will explore new ways create and manage energy. The major areas of study are:

Energy Generation

Energy Transmission

Energy Distribution

Energy Consumption

Energy Storage (See: LWSCJ Energy Store Project)

All five areas will be studied from both ends of the spectrum:

“Top-Down” System with Highly Centralized Regulation and Control

“Bottom-Up” Decentralized System with little or No Regulation and Centralized Control

“Hybrid” system that is a combination of the two extremes above

This study will analyze multiple energy flows, including, but not limited to:

Electrical Energy

Chemical Energy, including:

o Energy in Solid, liquid and Gas Forms

Mechanical Energy, including:

o Water

o Wind

Electrical Energy

America’s power grid has provided electrical energy for many years. There are reports, however, that the

system is aging and in needs repair or replacement. Should America, (and in companion projects other

countries) continue with an electrical energy system that is highly centralized, or should it evolve into

something else?

America’s recent history with electrical energy megaprojects is abysmal. We simply have to find a better

way to manage this process, possibly by decoupling a very large part of the current political component.

But how do you do this in a democracy? Join the project and help figure this out.

Chemical Energy

America’s love affair with petroleum is embedded deep into almost all aspects of our society. But

petroleum reserves are coming to an end and the petroleum industry has a gigantic system and

infrastructure in place, waiting for the NEXTGEN renewable liquid and gas energy supply to replace fossil

fuels. What could the NEXTGEN renewable feedstock be? Is it biological or something else? How much

biodiesel can you grow in the desert, given a nearly infinite supply of fresh water created with solar, wind

building-microgrid.lbl.gov © Berkeley Lab



and tidal energy from salt water? What kind of plants could be used or created to meet the demand? Join

the project and help figure it out.

Mechanical Energy

River Hydroelectric Power

America has used hydroelectric power for decades to provide a significant share of our total electrical

power needs. Environmentalists have, correctly in our view, recently removed hydroelectric dams,

including several almost 100 years old, which were major impediments to migratory fish and other

wildlife. This project will determine if new dams can be built without creating environmental problems.

Tidal Hydroelectric Power

New forms of hydroelectric power using tidal flows have been explored but have not reached mainstream

acceptance. This project will “step back” and look at tidal hydroelectric power progress to-date and

determine if this area should be pursued given equal weight to long term life cycle cost and benefit,

environmental concerns and local – regional electric power demand.

Large-Scale Versus Small-Scale Hydroelectric Power

This part of the project will study the relative merits of building a few very large dams or containment

ponds versus an integrated system of many small hydroelectric dams that function as an integrated

whole.

LWSCJ.011 Rural Microgrid Project (Joint Partners to be Determined)

Many now believe the key to a healthy, NEXTGEN power grid is focusing first on the customer as a

partner. As energy providers, not just consumers.

This project will define and develop intelligent, integrated microgrid concepts and technologies that meet

the needs of rural areas. Connecting point source generation locations that are separated by large

distances may pose unique challenges when compared to more densely populated areas. Or it may turn

out that there is a common set of standards and technologies that work well in all areas. At this point we

simply do not know, and this project will find the answer to this, and other related questions.

Living Water Solar’s research facility located on Amazing Grace Farm provides an excellent starting point

to explore how this concept can work. Located on top of Lookout Mountain near Chattanooga, Tennessee

USA, it has immediate access to a public utility power substation that adjoins the farm land.

The first project task is to develop relationships with all parties, both public and private to uncover the

opportunities and obstacles that lie in the concept, system and product development paths.

The second task is to define how renewable energy generation and storage to be installed at Amazing

Grace Farm can be connected to the public utility.

The third task is to find additional public utility customers located in the proposed microgrid “footprint”

that have, or are planning to add renewable energy generation and storage capabilities and add them to

this rural microgrid experiment.



The fourth task will document and publish the findings and begin local, regional, national and global

discussions.

LWSCJ.012 Galactic Postal Project (Joint Partners to be Determined)

This project will revolutionize how we send and receive mail, packages, parts and pieces to each other,

first here on Earth, and then expanding to include postal service between heavenly bodies. It starts with a

total re-think of how the current postal services work around the world, injecting todays, and tomorrows

technology into the processes.

Today Earth is enjoying and techoexplosion in robotics in general and specifically in the sudden growth in

autonomous vehicles. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to envision replacing today’s postal vehicles

with fleets of self-drive delivery units that operate automatically without on-board people.

To make this work we need to first reinvent the mailbox. Today’s mailbox designs are basically unchanged

for over a hundred years. Imagine a solar-powered intelligent mailbox that has a wireless link to a secure

network. As the robot delivers your mail and packages it communicates with you new “Smartbox”,

verifying the address via encrypted security codes, commands the smartbox to open and receive the

delivery. Your smartbox sends you a message letting you know “the mail has been delivered” and a list of

what you received.

Now imagine the robomail vehicle is completely powered by renewable energy. They are great

candidates for early adoption of robot, self-drive vehicles because the follow the same route every day.

Robomail Transition Plan

America is in dire need of downsizing the bureaubloat that has crept into our government. A great place

to start is the US Postal Service. The Robomail Transition Plan builds on the success of introducing robotics

into the automotive industry. Over time the total number of postal workers will decline, but every current

USPS employee would be given the chance to undergo training to move their job skills and their quality of

life to the next level.

The Robomail plan starts with a break in traditional US Government procurement and contracting. It puts

the fundamental transformation of the USPS on a wartime footing, accomplishing change in months that

traditionally take decades in the existing system. Here are some initial thoughts to get the creative

process started:

RoboMail Phase 1

1. Congress and the President agree to partially “outsource” the USPS. The presided gives congress

90 (ninety) days to approve the plan and process. If congress fails to do so he or she issues an

emergency executive order to proceed.

2. A minimum of two, preferably three bidders are chosen to rapidly move forward. The will

probably be large joint ventures, drawing resources from a wide range of partners. If this sounds

crazy, think back to how many planes and tanks were built by the automotive industry during

World War II. Once the mandate came down from upon high, progress was made in minutes that

normally would not have occurred in months.



3. The winning bidders are given the entire existing USPS fleet, facilities and access to the entire

USPS employee base.

4. Achieving rapid rollout of Robomail will require the first steps to “use what you got”. An example:

a. A large portion of the existing USPS delivery fleet was built by Grumman to aircraft

standards. The aluminum bodies currently sit on an ancient chassis with a four cylinder

internal combustion drive train that General Motors hasn’t manufactured for decades.

They get about 10 mpg, and that’s on a very good day.

The Robomail initiative would initially recycle the aluminum bodies, putting them on a

new EV chassis and powertrain. The bodies would undergo a “stretch”, common in the

aircraft industry to lengthening the vehicle to include both the driver and the robotic

arms that will actually deliver the mail and packages.

b. The mail and other deliveries would be prepackaged into containers that “fit” into the

NEXTGEN smartbox. This will drive the packaging and shipping industry to develop new

modular containers that “fit” the new delivery standards. These containers can be “plain”

or “complex”, with the plain containers being simple shapes that are totally reusable, or

complex containers that include onboard heating or cooling, with additional security as

required.

5. The Rapid Robomail rollout procurement comes with a mix of “carrots and sticks”.

a. Carrot: The winners get huge amounts of property and resources to get started at no cost

to them.

b. Stick: The winners are given a limited period of time, say eighteen months, to transition

the delivery fleet to all renewable energy and resources. Fail to meet this target and the

dreaded “Dinosaur Tax” kicks in. If a winner has failed to meet the EV goal fleet wide they

must pay the Dinosaur Tax on every gallon of fossil fuel they continue to use. By law this

tax can not be passed on to the consumer and must be born out of the organization’s

profits. A simple starting point for the Dinosaur Tax is $1USD per mile. Per vehicle. Fail to

meet the EV goal and you could be talking some real money in a very short period of time.

RoboMail Phase 2

1. RoboMail Phase 2 completes the transition to fully autonomous self-drive postal delivery

vehicles. All postal drivers who have the desire to do so are transitioned into better jobs.

2. The NEXTGEN standardized packaging initiative has launched an revolution in product

design and manufacturing, with new and updated products and their packaging being

modernized to “fit” into the new global standards.

Manufacturers can still make “non-standard” products but they will require a newly

defined “special delivery” process. Imagine how the following products are order over the

web and delivered using autonomous robotic processes that may require human

assistance:

Overnight Delivery Document: Special container, handling and messaging?

Toaster: It should “fit” in a standard RoboMail container, if not, Special Delivery?



Refrigerator: Does the robot not only deliver it to the location but also install it,

hauling away the old unit?

Car: Does it just drive itself to its new owner, or does it need Special Delivery?

RoboMail Phase 3

1. RoboMail Phase 3 rolls out the NEXTGEN delivery worldwide. This expands the processes

to include international shipboard and airborne deliveries. The Smartbox concept is

expanded to include NEXTGEN bulk shipping containers that replace current Seatainer

and air cargo container standard designs.

RoboMail Phase 4

1. RoboMail Phase 4 takes the NEXGEN RoboMail concept and implementation off planet.



LWSC Fun Projects LWSC fun projects are designed to be fun for team members. All too often research and development

gets mired in the money equation. These projects allow members to really enjoy the project, the process

and the new people they meet without being under pressure to meet specific goals, milestones and

financial requirements. LWSC is promoting and fostering “innovation and creation explosions”.

These projects do have a serious side, and that is to improve quality of life for a great many people. For

example you might ask “What is the value in producing toast in one hundredth the energy and time?”

There are a great many people trying to make toast over an open fire and this is both dangerous and

possibly unhealthy. Introducing affordable renewable energy products that don’t use any fossil fuels, that

produce a healthier result, especially among the poor in remote areas, sounds like a good idea to us.

LWSCF.001 TAT Project

This is LWSC’s first “fun” project. TAT stands for “Totally Awesome Toaster”, and has a serious

side that is designed to help optimize building virtual teams across continents using the internet

as the electronic “glue”. The project goals include creating NEXTGEN toaster designs that use

100th of the power used by today’s designs and produce superior toast in 100th of the time. It also

serves as the first developmental model to create NEXTGEN appliances that all contain embedded

intelligence that are networked together. This is a companion project to the Intelligent Array

project.

LWSCF.002 Tractor Bling Project

This is LWSC’s second “fun” project. This project will design, field test, and license product

designs for a wide range of accessories that can be easily installed on small, medium, and large

agricultural equipment by the owners using simple hand tools with little or no welding. This is the

second “virtual team building” project and its serious side is to provide a significant revenue

stream to fund other LWSC projects and a companion to the NEXTGEN Farm and Garden project.

Initial products include, but are not limited to:

1. Bolt-on Tool Boxes

2. Bolt-on LED Lighting

3. Bolt-on Rear View Mirrors

4. Bolt-on Implement Adapters

5. Integrated Lighting, Mirror and Radio products

6. Bolt-on PTO-driven portable hydraulic powered products

7. Bolt-on PTO-driven electric generators and pumps

All designs will be copyrighted and patented where applicable, and as this project progresses

LWSC will team with manufacturing partners, subject to membership approval.

LWSCF.003 The Boring Project

LWSC’s third “fun” project starts with the recognition of Rube Goldberg as the patron saint of all

LWSC fun projects. It also has a serious side. Its purpose is to create one or more entries for The

Boring Company’s annual promotional product. All entries must optimize horizontal integration

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rube_Goldberg



across as many renewable energy and resource technologies as possible. Entries can range from

seriously funny in the best Rube Goldberg tradition, to seriously practical in helping solve major

problems at the local, national and global levels.

The 2019 entry will challenge The Boring Company’s current focus on boring horizontally by

proposing a promotional product the bores vertically. The Boring Company’s current focus in on

gigaprojects; this design is at the opposite end of the spectrum, using tiny robots to bore very

small vertical holes to access what lies beneath the Earth’s, the Moon’s, and Mars’ surface.

Powered entirely by affordable renewable energy, this product could bring potable water to

millions. It may also generate serious debate as to its use to bore oil and natural gas wells. This

issue, as with all other LWSC issues can be resolved by membership voting.

LWSCF.004 The Great French Broad River Race Project

This project will create a biannual international event that

showcases NEXTGEN renewable resource and energy technologies

operating in natural environments which range from commercial

to pristine wilderness. The race will alternate years with the

Australian EV race, providing an annual renewable technology

race every year. It will also provide real-time live monitoring of

the river’s environment, uplinked via wireless links to LWSC’s

servers where the data will be available free on the web. Video

cameras, also powered entirely by renewable energy and resources will provide live streaming

views of the river and contestants, also available free to the public.

The project will use a formula similar to Australia’s World Solar Challenge Race but adds the use

of any renewable energy or resource for propulsion. It is anticipated that this race will also be a

biannual event, held on the alternate years when the World Solar Challenge Race is not held.

Race Location

The French Broad River is an American river that flows north, starting in North Carolina and

ending in Tennessee. It is 218 miles (350km) long, and the race will use approximately 2/3rd of its

length, starting in Ashville, North Carolina and ending near Knoxville, Tennessee. There are

initially many areas of shallow shoals and rapids as it passes through wilderness areas, followed

Race Start

Race End

https://www.romanticasheville.com/french-broad-river.htm

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Solar_Challenge

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Broad_River



by long stretches of “flat water” behind TVA’s Douglas Dam. Contestants will choose to either

pass through the lock at Douglas Dam or portage their craft around the dam, continuing down the

final stage of the French Broad to where it joins the Holston River to create the headwaters of the

Tennessee River in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Race Rules

The French Broad River offers contestants a wide range of technological challenges. A steering

committee will be formed within the project team members to create contest rules. These rules

will include, but not be limited to:

The race will be conducted with the least possible damage to the environment while

looking for ways to improve the environment. Contestants will be challenged to leave a

“net positive” environmental footprint. This will be factored into determining winners.

No fossil fuels may be used at any time by the contestants’ craft or support vehicles.

Competing water craft and support vehicles must be propelled entirely by renewable

energy and resources. The only limitations on the type(s) of renewables are those posed

by the river itself.

Contestants are allowed to use any form of renewable energy or resource but the type

and amount of additional fuel that can be taken onboard at each checkpoint is limited by

the rules set by the committee.

The committee will define race “legs” along the route. Contestants will be allowed to

come ashore at these points for food, rest and support care as needed. Their craft can be

reconfigured to meet the unique conditions of the next leg within the rules set by the

committee.

The committee may choose to establish multiple classes of competitors. These could

range from single occupant, two person crews, four person crews and the unlimited class.

All contestant craft will be fitted with real-time monitoring and tracking units developed

by the project team. These units will simultaneously report position as well as

environmental measurements (water, air, precipitation, propulsion system pollution, etc.)

The committee will create the rules that determine the race winners.

Between each race the project will continue to look at technological developments that came

from each race as well as environmental issues. For example, there are several dams along the

race route, all of which have historical significance. But should they remain? Will the ecology of

the river be improved by their removal? Can the ecology and local economy improve if the dams

are modernized? How can the fossil-free hydroelectric power generated by the dams along the

French Broad River be improved and better utilized? Will downstream flooding increase if they

are removed? The Douglas Dam in Sevierville, Tennessee and the Capitola dam in Marshall, North

Carolina are examples at opposite ends of the spectrum. Following each race, all contestant

teams will be required to provide input to this and other challenging, multi-state / regional

questions.

LWSC Godly Projects

LWSCG.001 God is Real Project

This project is focused on learning to love God and people, to serve like Jesus served, and

to grow in relationship with God and fellowship with others. It has four parts. They follow a

building block approach that starts with finding God, knowing He exists and who He is, developing

trust in God, and finding Him in your daily life. The second part introduces his son Jesus, why He

came and how He lives in the lives of believers forever. The third part explains the Holy Spirit and

its importance in choosing to a life that serves God first. The fourth part explains what it means to

live the Christian life.

1. God is Real 2. Jesus is Real 3. The Holy Spirit is Real 4. Living the Christian Life

LWSCG.002 God is Able Project

Learn how to get your heart healed and find hope. You can have a totally new beginning. Are you

willing? This project will show you how to do this.

There are many wonderful testimonies from people all over the world whose lives have been

redeemed by finding their way to God. We look forward helping others in great need. This project

will use the Internet as never before to help heal and make people whole again.

LWSCG.003 Finding God’s Path Project

How do you find your way to God and his son, Jesus? This project helps people of all walks of life,

from all corners of the world learn that finding God will fill that emptiness in your heart, and

fundamentally transform your life in ways you never thought possible. Find peace, grace and joy

as you join others finding their way to the path God always intended for them.

LWSCG.004 God’s Great Commission Project

This project brings together Christian leaders who have a strong, common vision and faith in God

and His Son Jesus. They all have an amazing love of God and love of people. This project starts

with two young men who have a strong, clear understanding of God’s word and a heart for

evangelism. They could be the next Billy Grahams. Where this goes only God knows.

Each has very special gifts which they know can only come from God. As only Jack can explain,

people with special challenges are actually amazingly well suited to serve God and Jesus. As only

Joel can explain, finding your way to Jesus is a lot like Finding Nemo.

Getting the Word out is known as evangelism, and doing it on a global scale is called “The Great

Commission”. Internet provide a way for men and women of God like Jack and Joel to take their

message from local to global, and do it with very little funding. LWSC is honored to provide

whatever resources it can to help global Judeo-Christian evangelism, one person at a time.
