Thanks It is difficult to know what is real anymore.

Is this real or satire?

Looks good!

The only thing a bit out of perspective is the well. It can be fixed by making the oval of the opening of the well more narrow. (Smaller oval closer to the horizon, and wider the further away) And thereby making the half-oval (the bottom of the well) wider. Right now it looks like they are the same size.

I made a shitty prototype with irrigation mister nozzle heads from alibaba or somewhere similar. I used 3 mm tubing and made some connectors from 3d print.

What I learned:

  • It's a fun project
  • 3D prints of connectors and tube adapters will be leaky if you are not a pro and knows what type of plastic to use. (I'm not experienced enough.) I would recommend finding proper standardised tube adapters and purchase them instead.
  • You save some water, however the temperature feels much colder, and therefore your guests might not like it if your water is not hot enough.
  • I enjoyed the gentle feeling of it, however it is very different from a regular shower head, where it feels like your skin is power washed clean. I used my hands more for cleaning my water misted skin. I had a feeling I got just as clean.
  • I vaguely remember something with some mistborne disease which there could be a higher risk of, using this kind of system, but I don't remember.

I experimented with 1-5 nozzle heads, and the more you add the more it feels like a regular shower head, with the intensity the water hits the skin, aaand the more water you use... 3 was a minimum to me.

I did not use it long enough to experience it clogging. I stopped using it because my fittings and tube adapters got too leaky to provide a proper pressure, and I didn't have the patience to fix it. This post has made me want to get a go at it again :P

I was also inspired by that article

Cheers

Also add the word 'capitalism' in there. It's like I don't even get to finish saying the word before the people I'm talking to either zones out or start defending it with: "well there is no better alternative".

Have anybody seen it? Do you get introduced to masanobu fokuokas farming principles?

I'm considering making a screening for my fellow students at regenerative agriculture school

Cute! It's a caesar cypher!

She really helped you - she gave you the 'shift-key' I won't spoil it - check wiki for caesar cypher and get a pen and paper :) Let me know if you cannot solve it
