Ron, Bravo! The maker movement has potential for "disruptive innovation". See the Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disruptive_innovation It is the progeny of our community tool libraries and cooperative art and craft spaces. In our society sharing was a disruptive innovation 40 years ago.
"The term "*disruptive technology*" has been widely used as a synonym of "disruptive innovation", but the latter is now preferred, because market disruption has been found to be a function usually not of technology itself but rather of its changing application." My last metal studio space was a sublet in a "maker space" in Seattle. Seattle is a hot-spot for the maker movement and I benefited a lot from that experience. I think the evolution of the Estufa Finca biochar stove did as well. I will be in Seattle for a few days before the ETHOS conference, I plan to share a new prototype stove at the conference. I will be fine tuning it at the Ballard Maker Space next week. So, I can not 3-D print a stove...yet, but now I can realistically dream about doing it and that is the important 1st step in making it happen. Art On Wed, Jan 15, 2014 at 3:22 PM, Ronal W.
