I kept working at least 3 hours per day prioritizing highest impact hardware builds for the management of water in food production.
Based on the projects of Water quality treatment, Food waste elimination, water recycling in hydroponics.
The 2026 developments are:
OPEN SOURCE- Zero marginal cost freeze dryer.
OPEN SOURCE- Zero marginal cost reverse osmosis.
OPEN SOURCE- Zero marginal cost integrated growing pot and water recirculation.

Note on vinegar: is a side product that is made trough the process of wood pyrolysis.
It can be used for acidifying water ph, as crop protection for organic farming, as composting input to reduce odor and increase speed of process.
