Transmission Article: Seedbomb Distribution Tool

A tool used during the community run rewilding social movements which started in 2025, this cheap, plastic lacrosse stick was loaded with seedbombs and swung. The seedbombs would go farther than throwing by hand, which was advantageous when rewilding urban decay, which often was unsafe to stand or climb on.

Recycling And Salvage Practice!

I've recently come into possession of a very neglected (3+ years in a shed where winter happens) one of these "power wheel" toys. Batteries are probably shot, but motors might be good. These toys are for small children to drive around in. Can usually haul two children at a time.

What uses could the resulting salvage be turned into?

Components:

- plastic frame

- possible drive train

- gears

- motors

- plastic wheels

- (possibly more, but that's what I can think of)

Tell me in the tags or reblogs!

Solarpunk Is a Tumblr Vibe. It’s Also a Practical Movement.

The sunny, internet-born aesthetic continues to evolve online. What does that mean IRL?

Scan the #solarpunk hashtag on Tumblr or the 30,000-plus-member r/solarpunk subreddit and you’ll likely encounter several examples of a certain subgenre of architectural rendering: dramatically geometric towers dotted with rooftop forests or tree-sprouting condos, far easier imagined than built. Or you might see the 3D-art cousin to such renderings — grander and greener still.

So why, when I ask Jay Springett about what solarpunk looks like in practice, does he talk about an old phone box that was converted into a seed library?

“That wouldn’t be out of place in a solarpunk story,” Springett said. “But also it’s real life”

Hey, does anyone have any recommendations of a piece of new solarpunk technology that I can write an essay on? I’m running low on ideas, and I don’t really want to just google it. Thanks!

The Robot That Talks To Bees 🤖 💬🐝

Image by Tim Landgraf

Bees primarily communicate through movements called the “waggle dance.” This dance gives a very specific location, by telling other bees the direction to go based on the position of the sun, and how far from the hive. This can tell of food, water, and even dangers.

So, using this dance, researcher Tim Landgraf from Berlin wants to create a robot that can redirect bees to safer foraging grounds.

Air Filtering Tower

“This sleek and curved, aerodynamic design forces air through the multiple openings where inside lies a stack of air filtration cubes that can clean 600,000 cubic meters of air per day, the equivalent to the contents of 273 hot air balloons.”

I wonder how efficiently this would work for smoke 🤔

This Tower Filters 273 Hot Air Balloons-Worth of Pollution per Day in India City

This installation isn't a student's idea of an art piece, it's a sophisticated air purifier that could be key to improving New Delhi's air.
