The Mechabolic: People

The Mechabolic is obviously a very large and ambitious project. It is Belgium waffle, Serpent Mother, or La Contessa in scale and difficulty. It is much too big for any single individual to shoulder, or really any single core group of people.

We therefore have are conceiving of the project as having three separate fronts, each lead by a different individual over a different group of collaborators. A full time project manager will coordinate between the three sub-groups and orchestrate all project logistics. The three areas and leaders are as follows:

1. Biomass alt fuel processing and combustion technology: Jim Mason
2. Creature sculpture and mobility mechanics: Dann Davis and Michael Christian
3. Gasifier work shops, educational outreach, and fuel collecting on playa: Chicken John

Project Manager: Babalou

Other main collaborators to date are:

Dov Jelen and Kiko Almund: Liquifaction Tech
Jess Hobbs and Brandi Hugo: Orchid Lung Terrariums
Peef Sadow: Embedded Control and Automation of Gasifiers
Jae Rhim Lee: Digestion
Darrel Licks: Fabrication
Peter Durand: Regional Outreach

Lots of volunteer minions are already interested, and many more will be genetically engineered and grown in large number very soon.
