The Low-tech Lab

Everywhere in the world, ingenious inventors innovate with what they have at hand and develop solutions to answer to vital, economic or environmental problems.

These solutions are low-technologies: systems that are simple, sustainable and accessible in terms of costs and know-how.

The Low-tech can be useful to millions of people. It deserves to be shared.

Solar Oven (box-type oven)

Box or a parable shaped, the solar oven makes it possible to cook your food using the sun rays.

• Easy
• 1 day(s)

Solar lamp with reused lithium cells

This tutorial allows you to make a solar lamp equipped with a USB charger. It uses lithium cells that are reused from a old or damaged laptop. This system, with a day of sunlight, can fully charge a smartphone and have 4 hours of light.

• Easy
• 3 hour(s)

Warmer

The purpose of this tutorial is to make hand-held warmers. These can be heated up to around 50°C when activated, and can be used in the mountains, for example, to keep warm when hiking.

• Easy
• 1,5 hour(s)

Participative Sciences : Indoor Biopony

This tutorial was created as part of mission #2 "Indoor garden" of the participatory science program run by the Biosphère Expérience association. It presents the steps involved in building the bioponic device, as well as the protocol to be followed during the 2-month experiment from September 1 to October 31, 2024.

Garde-Manger: Pantry Storage

Garde-Manger, or pantry storage, enabling optimal environmental conditions by food type

• Medium
• 3 day(s)

Hydroponics

This tutorial aims to introduce hydroponics and how to build an individual system. This technology was documented during a stopover in Singapore of the "Nomade des Mers" expedition. We met Comcrop, a company that grows aromatic plants (basil, mint...) on an area that is usually unused and worthless: the roofs of buildings!

Nomade des mers

In 2016, Corentin de Chatelperron left the port of Concarneau (France) on board the Nomade des Mers, a low-technology ambassador catamaran, to explore the world for 3 years!

Low-tech Tour

Onboard a van-come travelling workshop, the Low-tech Lab France team met with 12 inventors or local initiatives that developed solutions to reduce the impact of housing thanks to low-technologies adapted to their context.

Habitat low-tech

Après un an sur les routes de France, l'équipe du Low-tech Tour France se lance dans le prototypage d'un micro-habitat low-tech adapté au contexte occidental. Il permettra d'évaluer l'impact de ces solutions sur l'environnement, nos économies et notre confort.

Mission Biosphère

Durant 4 mois, seul sur une plateforme flottante au large de la Thaïlande, Corentin a fait l'expérience de la vie en autonomie pour tester 30 solutions low-tech. Sa mission ? Tester les synergies possibles entre les systèmes. Résultat de l'expérience fin d'année 2018

Low-tech for Refugees

Dans les camps de réfugiés à la frontière européenne, l'équipe du projet Low-tech for Refugees utilise et diffuse les low-tech concrètement sur le terrain. L'objectif : donner le pouvoir à chacun, grecs comme réfugiés, de répondre à ses propres besoins, dans le respect des Hommes et de la Planète !
