🔐 License & Usage

This project is open-hardware: you are free to learn from it, modify it, repair it, and reproduce it.

Note: Commercial-use permission is automatically granted while an active
GitHub Sponsorship at the $350/month tier (or higher) is maintained.
If the sponsorship is downgraded or cancelled, the permission immediately ends.
No retroactive or continuing rights are provided after cancellation.


🧩 Looking for…

  • 🧠 System / AI / control people to help structure BioSym (grid orchestration, rules, low-power logic).
  • 🛠️ FabLab / maker partners (Plushie mechanics, sewing, micro-pump).
  • 🔥 DIYers & engineers for Solar Flare (folding mirrors, compact design, thermal safety).
  • 🎮 Soft-robotics or BLE devs for Morph0.
  • 🌍 Translators, educators, feedback—all welcome!

Thanks for passing by — stars, issues and PRs are welcome!

🇫🇷 Résumé rapide

Projet Description & état
💧 SolarWell Unité de distillation solaire low-tech pour transformer de l’eau de mer ou polluée en eau potable grâce au soleil. Concept • R&D ouverte
🏋️ SolarLift Concept de stockage d’énergie gravitaire 100% solaire : Solar Flare chauffe un fluide → expansion → mécanisme → élévation d’un poids. Trois pistes étudiées (air chaud, vapeur, fluide à forte dilatation). Nouveau – documentation complète.
🧠 BioSym Cadre conceptuel open-source pour relier des modules d’eau, d’énergie, de stockage et de traitement via des “grids” thématiques + orchestration IA/humaine. Pas de proto pour le moment, mais docs complètes (docs/).
🔆 Solar Flare Concentrateur solaire pliable (lentille de Fresnel + miroirs paraboliques). Version V1.2 fonctionnelle en prototype expérimental.
Plushie – Respire avec moi Doudou biomimétique qui respire, “s’éteint” puis se réanime via massage cardiaque ; outil pédagogique & réconfortant. Actif – recherche makers.
Morph0 Objet modulaire à tiges + coussins gonflables capable de changer de forme (poignée, coussin, support, jouet). Concept en R&D ouverte.
🛒 Caddie solidaire Caddie mécanique solidaire : énergie récupérée des petits caddies pour aider les futurs gros caddies. Concept publié • open hardware.
🌱 Dynamo végétale Expérimentation pédagogique/artistique : croissance lente des plantes pour entraîner une dynamo symbolique. Expérimental – documentation publiée.
🧲 Rideau d’énergie Paroi textile semi-transparente auto-réparatrice avec mini-dynamos : récupère symboliquement l’énergie des passages piétons. Expérimental – documentation publiée.
SCGFAMP (archivé) Pompe gravito-flottante cyclique expérimentale ; complexe à industrialiser pour l’instant, mais libre à l’étude.
