Open-House

Last weekend, the Red Cross, in collaboration with Open-House, tested humanitarian aid technology at Mysteryland. The project, which began in 2016 and concluded this year, tested new forms of cheap power, such as solar panels and windmills in which they were looking for ways to deal with the changing needs of disaster areas.

Speciale zonnecollectoren en een zeven meter hoge windmolen: zo test het Rode Kruis op festival Mysteryland innovatieve oplossingen om energie op te wekken in een rampgebied.

Now that's a challenge. Elon Musk: "I can fix South Australia power network in 100 days or it's free."

The Tesla founder says he can build a 100MW battery storage farm within 100 days or provide the system free of charge
