Seeking Ways to Improve the Human Condition
We purchased an old 33 foot RV. We contend that 110/220 volts is not only expensive but wasteful as well, and that almost all the comforts and technology we take for granted today could be run on 12 to 24 volts.
Cleaned up and primed it didn’t look half bad from the outside. The inside was a different story.
The goal is to convert it to a portable office and mobile art piece to go with the ever evolving Starfighter Command story theme. And, to prove that an unplugged, off grid alternative lifestyle is possible.
We’ve spliced a lot of the wiring where the rats chewed through. We replaced all the flexible brake lines and all the brake wheel cylinders. Replaced one of the windows. Then we went to work cleaning and painting the inside with ceramic paint to help with environmental control and made by a company who did heat shields for NASA.
Ever evolving, there is still aways to go. We have the 500+ watts of flexible solar panels for the roof, and are working on the computer systems. One of them a stand alone system; no Internet connection required. And, then a bunch of new low voltage appliances and other low voltage toys. Something to demonstrate you don’t need 120 volt of electricity to live well anywhere in the world.

While trying to improve the quality of life for all of humanity, one of the goals of the Galactic Enterprise is to establish a non-profit organization (United Earth for Peace) and to build a research center for the purpose of inventing new technology to be used in third world countries. We believe that there is a need to invent new technology that can be transported to even the most remote areas of the planet. In a very real sense we will try to bring to life the technology only seen in science fiction movies and TV shows like Star Trek.
Imagine being able to send a major medical center to the scene of a tragic accident or earthquake on a moment's notice. Consider having the ability to relieve starvation in the world simply by dropping in a machine that could produce water taken from the air, and food synthesized from soybean and other vegetable products (also dropped in). Medical centers in third world countries around the world could all benefit from improved diagnostic equipment. Improved agriculture techniques, better housing, machine teachers that can instruct children in any language. The list is endless for new kinds of technology that could be invented or improved upon to improve the human condition all around this world.
This is truly a galactic enterprise on which we have embarked. A quest to help raise the quality of life for all of humanity who lack the most basic elements necessary for living that most first world countries enjoy.
Sustainable energy is a technical reality. Coal fired power plants and nuclear reactors are archaic relics of the industrial revolution that just won’t die. The waste from these power plants pollute the land, air, and water around them.
Power companies want you to believe that you have to stay connected to the electric grid to live a quality life. They tell you that sustainable power is a myth. They want you to remain a slave to their system so they can keep taking a share of your hard earned labors. The last thing that they want you to know is that free or low cost abundant energy is available right now, and that you don’t need to be connected to their system to have it.
Sail boats can remain at sea for months at a time. Recreational vehicles don’t need to be plugged in to work. They both work primarily on low voltage. With things like LED lighting, low voltage systems are becoming more and more practical. With boats and RVs, low voltage system have been around for a half a century or more.
There is a need for demonstration models to show the world what is possible and to encourage research into even more sustainable technology.
This kind of adventure is not something we can do alone. We need your help. We have a few partners and friends, but we need help of everybody who has the means to give a dollar or two to help us push forward with our goals. How far and how fast we can accomplish our goals will depend on those who are willing to become our friends and partners in this galactic enterprise.
In an effort to be self-sustaining we sell artistic products and tell stories that you can read for free or purchase through Amazon. Our stories are spread out across the Internet and time and space, but telling stories for free doesn’t pay the bills.
