Sometimes, past technologies can be copied without any changes. More often, interesting possibilities arise when older technology is combined with new knowledge and new materials, or when past concepts and traditional knowledge are applied to modern technology. Inspiration is also to be found in the so-called \"developing\" world, where resource constraints often lead to inventive, low-tech solutions. This second volume (704 pages, 257 images) contains 36 articles published between 2012 and 2018.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eContents table: \u003cbr\u003e\nHow to Build a Low-tech Website?\u003cbr\u003e\nWe CanÕt Do It Ourselves\u003cbr\u003e\nDitch the Batteries: Off-grid Compressed Air Energy Storage\u003cbr\u003e\nHistory and Future of the Compressed Air Economy\u003cbr\u003e\nHow Much Energy Do We Need?\u003cbr\u003e\nBedazzled by Energy Efficiency\u003cbr\u003e\nHow to Run the Economy on the Weather\u003cbr\u003e\nHow (Not) to Run a Modern Society on Solar and Wind Power Alone\u003cbr\u003e\nCould We Run Modern Society on Human Power Alone?\u003cbr\u003e\nHeat Storage Hypocausts: Air Heating in the Middle Ages\u003cbr\u003e\nWhy the Office Needs a Typewriter Revolution\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Curse of the Modern Office\u003cbr\u003e\nHow to Get Your Apartment Off the Grid\u003cbr\u003e\nSlow Electricity: The Return of DC Power?\u003cbr\u003e\nPower Water Networks\u003cbr\u003e\nFruit Walls: Urban Farming in the 1600s\u003cbr\u003e\nReinventing the Greenhouse\u003cbr\u003e\nHow to Build a Low-tech Internet\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 4G Mobile Internet thatÕs Already There\u003cbr\u003e\nWhy We Need a Speed Limit for the Internet\u003cbr\u003e\nHow Sustainable is Stored Sunlight?\u003cbr\u003e\nHow Sustainable is PV Solar Power?\u003cbr\u003e\nRestoring the Old Way of Warming: Heating People, not Places\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Revenge of the Circulating Fan\u003cbr\u003e\nIf We Insulate Our Houses, Why Not Our Cooking Pots?\u003cbr\u003e\nWell-Tended Fires Outperform Modern Cooking Stoves\u003cbr\u003e\nModular Cargo Cycles\u003cbr\u003e\nHigh Speed Trains are Killing the European Railway Network\u003cbr\u003e\nPower from the Tap: Water Motors\u003cbr\u003e\nBack to Basics: Direct Hydropower\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Mechanical Transmission of Power (3): Endless Rope Drives\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Mechanical Transmission of Power (2): Jerker Line Systems\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Mechanical Transmission of Power (1): Stangenkunst\u003cbr\u003e\nHow to make everything ourselves: open modular hardware\u003cbr\u003e\nElectric velomobiles: as fast and comfortable as automobiles, but 80 times more efficient\u003cbr\u003e\nCargo cyclists replace truck drivers on European city streets\u003cbr\u003e\nThe solar envelope: how to heat and cool cities without fossil fuel\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kris De Decker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44232545992865,"sku":"9781365208249","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/zvz55m-front-shortedge-384_55f2cbce-418e-41b2-b6f5-027c8501f30d.jpg?v=1748328987","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/low-tech-magazine-2012-2018-second-edition","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
