- cwkoss 7y agoI can't recommend Kirsten Dirksen's channel enough to people interested in architecture, energy efficiency, tiny homes, 'green' construction, etc. Literally hundreds of hours of high-quality content - I'm really curious how she is able to find all of these interesting people who are doing such cool things.

- johnohara 7y agoCompletely agree. One of my favorite Kirsten Dirksen videos is about Russ Finch using geothermal energy to grow citrus in a greenhouse located near Alliance, NE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD_3_gsgsnk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD_3_gsgsnk
- tasssko 7y agoSecond that. That was such a great watch!
- adamweld 7y agoWonderful, thank you so much.
- leppr 7y agoAs well as having great content, the format of her videos is also top-notch. It's way too common to see architecture videos where the camera won't linger more than 5 seconds on anything else than some random zoomed-up composition. In her videos, you can actually appreciate and immerse yourself in the spaces and the various details. The videos are usually between 10 and 20 minutes and she's not afraid to push it further if there's enough content.
- llao 7y agoUnfortunately the camera is wobbling a lot which gives me an headache. I cannot watch that. :(
- samstave 7y agoI want to take two tesla motors, which according to the tesla tear-down, cost $750 each, then take (2) battery packs - place these into the base as a powertrain to a 20’ unit(s) stacked two tall, such that you have a two-story “tiny-home” which can be moved with ease... Make it draped with solars which can be pushed out as A-frame or other configs. And all of this can be done for <$100k This is my goal.
- cwkoss 7y agoCool idea. 20' might be hard to transport... I think a lot of overpasses only clear 13ish feet. You might think about designing a mechanism to lower the roof for transportation.

- samstave 7y agoWOW That was awesome. Thank you for sharing that.
- ghusbands 7y ago> I'm really curious how she is able to find all of these interesting people who are doing such cool things. Her popularity in the area probably means that people inform her of relevant things. I believe that's true for a lot of youtubers.

- leemac 7y agoAh, I had a feeling I'd seen this before. Fascinating project, thanks for the link to previous video I had seen a while back!
- fouc 7y agoThe human waste - grey water & composting system was interesting.
- RenRav 7y agoSo strange to see that channel recommended here. It's full of unusual and interesting things.
- doctoboggan 7y agoThe whole article is basically a rehashing of the video with tons of screenshots from it.
