Re-thinking the Built Environment, Since 2010

Murphy's Lab

Explore what is coming out of our lab. We currently operate from a 42 Acre off-grid property in the Sierra Foothills. This requires us to conduct our research from First Principles.

Murphy’s Lab

"The first experiment already illustrates a truth of the theory, well confirmed by practice, what-ever can happen will happen if we make trials enough." - Mathematician Augustus De Morgan wrote on June 23, 1866

"Murphy" is simply "De Morgan" misremembered.

Every Ten Days we post an Invention.

 
 

Invention Timeline

January 10th: Invention 1 = A Big One: UR Fuel or Pee to Power: Not only does pee to power reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, as an alternative fuel source, it personalizes power and can be setup in your backyard.

January 20th: Invention 2 = Algaent: Algaent is a collector and fuel transesterificator making it possible for people to grow some of their own gasoline. Algaent, in its module, can be installed oblique to the sun’s altitude; or hidden and sustain light levels with glow plates. It is possible to supplement some or all of transportation fuel needs, with this kit-of-parts. Algaent provides existing engines, relying on traditional gasoline or diesel their fuel needs in a CO2 reducing way.

January 30th: Invention 2 = In-Wall HVAC Insulation Panels: We have invented a novel, affordable, and bio-inspired TES system for whole-home space conditioning and hot water heating. Our modular, field-installable solution integrates with existing hot water systems and utilizes energy efficient principles of saltatory conduction within water-filled proprietary phase change material in-wall insulation panels.
