-23-25 October 2008, Linz, Austria+[[:workshop notes]]. 23-25 October 2008, Linz, Austria
  
 The workshop in Linz at the Time's Up laboratories is concentrated on very detailed hands-on-practice where we would like to offer a simple and barrier-free approach through the backing of experts. This part of the workshop will focus on the creation of an environment that uses energy in sustainable ways and each constructed device fertilizes another. Having this in mind we would like to build an outdoor hot tub that is solely and independently in terms of energy usage and suitable for all seasons.  The workshop in Linz at the Time's Up laboratories is concentrated on very detailed hands-on-practice where we would like to offer a simple and barrier-free approach through the backing of experts.

 As the Time`s Up workshop is situated next to the Danube the chance opened up to use this water for our intentions. And as breezes go by more often it seemed natural to take advantage of that too to build a wind powered water pump that delivers water from the Danube directly to the basins. Time`s Up is currently working on that and developed further plans to offer a pimping-station for the immediate physical and creative recreation of all workers. In addition the hot tub is meant to be as all season summer outdoor-experience for those of us who dare the climate situation in colder days or do not have to chance to vanish from winter.  As the Time`s Up workshop is situated next to the Danube the chance opened up to use this water for our intentions.

 Besides the hands on part we will take more overarching theoretical aspects into consideration too. As we would like to look over the rims of individual tea cups without discussing global troubles in common, we have chosen the approach to take a look at groups that organize their individual interests in order to change their immediate environments strongly. We would like to get an impression of local based issues and conflicts that entail potential to stimulate engagement and initiatives on a communal level to force self-organized behaviour.  Besides the hands on part we will take more overarching theoretical aspects into consideration too.

 This project, already mostly complete, is based upon the use of a third world technology base in order to get water up from the Harbour for use in a water system. The windmill runs (in case we have wind), running two pumping systems. The first system is an Archimedes Screw, a pump system that dates back millennia. The water is brought from the harbour up to a reservoir at  ground level. A second Rope Pump, an very simple system, brings that water up to the second reservoir, around 3 meters above ground level.  This project, already mostly complete, is based upon the use of a third world technology base in order to get water up from the Harbour for use in a water system.

 A simple and easily constructed water filter system to take out the impurities in the water. The Danube and the Harbour water is actually almost drinking quality, so the filtering that is needed is mainly aesthetic, getting rid of the suspended particles, glacial dust and river mud, algal growth and suchlike.  A simple and easily constructed water filter system to take out the impurities in the water.

 A simple burner system based upon 200 liter tanks, previously used for heating oil or fruit juice concentrate, with waste wood from the surrounding industry (shipping pallets, etc). This heat is transferred to an old boiler removed from a building heating system which produced steam at slightly above atmospheric pressure. The steam is streamed trough the fire again to reach a temperature around 150 degrees.  A simple burner system based upon 200 liter tanks, previously used for heating oil or fruit juice concentrate, with waste wood from the surrounding industry (shipping pallets, etc).

 A number of simple bath systems are the end point of this network. Filtered water is fed under wind power slowly into a bath. The steam supply, a very efficient way of transferring heat energy (it is how the planet does it) is fed into the water, the steam recondensing and releasing its heat into the body of water. This heats the water, leading to a steamy winter Jakuzi system. The baths that are planned include ones built from a slice from a container from a design project and single person baths from fruit juice concentrate barrels. A number of simple bath systems are the end point of this network.
