Harvester Heat

The Index Project

The Index Project
Copenhagen, Denmark

The key to successfully designing a product for the third world is a thorough understanding of local conditions. It is also strongly believed that leaving room for adaptations as the result of unpredictable local circumstances improves the success rate of the project.

Harvester Heat is a product that improves the community as well as the individual home in Indonesia. As will be explained further on it creates free electricity and aims to liberate the third world from the IMF and multinational cooperation’s.

Through the use of heat fins (1) a Peltier cell (2), a heat sink (3) and a base(4), enough electricity is generated (1.8 Watts)(5). If the base is placed in water the efficiency will increase even further.
