First pilot Energee-Saw 2008 footage online

Panasonic Eco-ideas have featured footage of the 2008 Energee-Saw installation as part of a number of eco-friendly ideas – ranging from weird and wacky to genuinely inspiring.

The description seems to have been lost in translation a little, when being sent over to Japan. To clarify, this footage is from the first installation in 2008 which led to the subsequent funding and awards for work on the concept. It is not footage of a developed product. This installation was put together in the space of a week. It demonstrated the principles central to the concept and thus is not an engineered, compliant solution which we have since worked toward.

The quoted power specification is from the newer Energee-Saw design, which has not featured online.

Energee-Saw on Panasonic Eco-ideas

The main website http://eco-ideas.net/eco_plus_you/ is much slicker than the pages which host the collection of videos. It promotes understanding of our effects on the environment and is definitely worth a look.

I was keen for PlayMade Energy’s early work to be showcased on this type of website. I believe Panasonic Eco-ideas is one of many sending out a positive message, promoting fun and innovative design concepts to play a key part in environmental education.
