“You never change something by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”

 ― R. Buckminster Fuller

  • LONGSPÉIR Transport Democratized
  • | Project OccultAlloy • Scale-Model Wireless-Power Infrastructure
  • We are undeniably faced by climate induced extreme heatwaves, floods, droughts, and wildfires and here on the West Coast earthquakes that conventional transport infrastructure is ill prepared to accommodate and impacting the working poor most of all.
  • Long before the term mutual aid came to mean crowdfunded self-preservation or charity, the Russian anarchist Peter Kropotkin systematically explored its meaning to work together for a common good and a fundamental aspect of anarcho-socialist organization and evolution.
  • We propose a social and technological innovation infrastructure that is adaptive, highly resilient, repairable, and perpetually upgradeable ― starting with the creation of a scale-model, transport oriented community hub, initially featuring electric RC aircraft and surface effect vessels (SEVs) as a vital step in validating electric mobility, significantly reducing onboard fuel and batteries, and accelerating cyber-physical conversion to a new generation of reliable, democratized transportation.
  • What our proof-of-concept will demonstrate…
    • Continuous Wireless Power: Primary power during launch, in-pattern loitering, and landing for electric, hybrid-electric, and conventional craft, radically reducing consumption of onboard fuel and or battery power through a new vision of beamed energy to moving vehicles.
    • Motion Capture Environment: Using advanced sensors (Phased Array RADAR and LiDAR) for real-time motion tracking, and ensuring safety by active, precision management of beamed energy around people, organic life, and inorganic objects.
    • Evolutionary Vehicle Control: Augmented situational awareness, enables enhanced flight automation and pilot control input for greater vehicle agility and overall system safety and efficacy in the most hazardous of environmental conditions.
  • Why your collaboration matters…
  • This project is more than an intellectual exercise; it’s about enthusiastic citizen science, a more engaged practice of environmental psychology, a renewed, more disciplined vision of participatory action design, united in laying the groundwork for a near future that embodies:
    • Long-Term System Resilience: Building infrastructure that is inherently robust and adaptative.
    • Resource Sustainability: Achieving near-zero operational emissions by eliminating onboard fuel.
    • Public Accessibility: Reducing costs and complexity to make advanced mobility available to all by including all in the solution at every level of engagement.
  • A not exhaustive nor exclusive list of knowledge and skill sets invited to our conspiracy:Legal counsel, technical writers, videographers, technical illustration, storyboard, animation artists, RC aircraft (traditional craft, 3D Printed, CNC fabrication), programmers, information security (InfoSec), biomimetic robotics, phased array microwave physics, metamaterial science, micromachined fabrication, computational fluid dynamics (aero and hydro), Finite Element Analysis, Mechanical Engineering.
  • If you feel motivated to try and combat the worst impulses of the Tech brOligarchy, then join us in collaboration.
