Peter Rossi commented on moladi Formwork's blog post South African housing company in finals of global contestGlassfiber reinforced plastic pipes are used to transport gas, water and oil. They are lasting for decades (min. 50 years must be guaranteed).
Why not use this technology to produce living homes and shelters, which are light, cheap and very safe against, fire, storm and earthquakes? Any color can be choosen. The people can build up there homes by themselves.
For example a family house set consisting of a separate living room 12 m2, kitchen compartment 3 m2 and sanitary compartment 3m2 would cost less than USD 10.000 with roof, water tanks and all elements. Smaller compositions will cost less, complete villages can be set up easily.
Precious rain water will be harvested from the roof and stored and stored in the water tank..

Years in the 60s I fell in love with Gyrocopters.... Never flew one
I have a bioengineering relationship in Zambia you might be interested in. They are mentioned in the attached Community Learning Center proposal

Thanks for adding me as friend. Glad to have invited me along. Hey what of the Gyrocopters? Sure it will be great in Ghana where oil is now a big business.
can we talk? SKYPE: isaac.twumasi.quantus

Peter Rossi said… Hi Isaak,
Yes Gyrocopters will become a big issue specially in those countries where the road infractructure is weak. I am an associate of the owner and founder of Trixy Aviation Austria. www.trixyaviation.com Just started to manufacture about 2 years ago the Gyrocopter of Trixy has been judged as the best ones. At AERO 2012 will show a new type designed as a flying motorbike for little money (starts at about € 35'000) . Both can transport pilot and 1 passenger or pilot plus 100 kg weigth. A heavy duty version will also come soon.
The good thing is, that piloting Gyrocopters is simple and this type of planes are cheaper and safer as helicopters and cannot fall down when running out of gas.
Will make a post about Gycopters and its benifits for e.g. flying doctors, emergeny transport, supervision very soon.
Regards,
Peter

The recent earthquakes show that not earthquakes are killing most people but the insufficient built houses.…

Since beginning man dreamed to fly like a bird. The invention of the wheel brought humanity an important step further to reach individual mobility. But it took centuries that the possibility of flying was discovered and many other technical inventions that flying is so normal like riding a bike.
When Juan de la Cierva invented the autogiro in 1923 the lack of modern materials as they are being used nowadays blocked any further development for commercial use. Despite the very…
