Musana Carts: Solar-powered business in Uganda opts for open source IP over patenting
Taking its name from a Ugandan word for ‘sunshine’, the Musana cart uses an in-built solar panel to power an eco-friendly stove and a small refrigerator. By removing the need for charcoal burning, the Musana cart produces far less smoke than other food vendor carts, ensuring a cleaner and safer experience for both workers and customers. Other innovations include light bulbs, to allow the vendor to work at night, and phone chargers, so that they can offer mobile money services.
The decision not to patent the Musana cart could have been seen by Nataliey and the team as a setback, but it instead encouraged them to return to their original vision and mission of social innovation: making the livelihoods of Africa’s street food vendors cleaner, safer and more sustainable.
Tumblr media
They realized that the more people who had access to their cart designs, the better, and that patenting their invention could restrict access. On this basis, they decided to open source their IP so that vendors across Africa were free to improve their lives through their innovation. When IP is open source, it means that other people and groups can freely use, modify and share it.
After several years of selling to vendors, Musana Carts is already having a positive impact in Kampala. The solar-powered food carts have proved to be cleaner, more hygienic and more sustainable than traditional charcoal-fueled food carts. The Musana cart’s in-built lighting allows vendors to work at night if they choose, giving them an opportunity to earn more. Musana carts can be purchased in installments, making them more accessible to poor workers. The company has also teamed up with Kampala Capital City Authority to ensure that Musana carts are legally recognized, freeing vendors from the risks and uncertainties of working in the informal economy.
Although she sees the value in patent protection in more economically developed countries, where the legal framework is in place to ensure that an individual can be remunerated for the use of their innovation or invention, she knows first-hand that this is much harder to establish in African markets. Consequently, Nataliey encourages female inventors not only to monetize their innovations in their markets, but to share them outside of their capacity as well.
Equally importantly for Nataliey, however, is the philosophy behind open source IP. When there are so many challenges facing the world, she argues, no one individual or organization can satisfy every market need. She feels that there’s room for many to thrive. Furthermore, Nataliey believes that open sourcing can incentivize further innovation by allowing people to build on each other’s inventions. It’s the concept of cooperation, codependence and community at the heart of the African philosophy of ubuntu: ‘I am, because you are.’ Nataliey’s hope is that her company’s use of open source IP will help make this concept a reality for street food vendors across Africa.

X-1 and Droid-Bug by Eugene F. Lally, Robot Shack (1983), El Toro, CA. The “Droid-Bug kit ($100) has an obstacle sensor that causes the robot to buzz and turn away from objects. X-1 kit ($300) has on-board computer control, solar battery charger, remote radio control, sound and obstacle sensors. A start-up package with pictures, data, and catalog is available for $5, which is refundable with first order. You can buy individual parts to use in your own projects.” – The Everyone Can Build a Robot Book, by Kendra Bonnett, and Gene Oldfield, 1984.
The “Droid Bug is an electro-mechanical motorized unit with a bumper switch. When the bumper contacts an object, the motors reverse direction. That ‘robot’ has no provision for adding any type of computer control. The Z-1 appears to consist of a motor from a Milton-Bradley Big-Trak, some wheels, and six switches. Those switches are all that comprise the robot’s ‘control system.’ At $149.00, you might find that you can do much better scrounging the parts on your own. The Z-2 is not much better. For $249 you get two heavier duty motors (available on the surplus market for about $24.00 apiece), the same switch package as the Z-2, and about $10.00 worth of furniture castors and hook-up wire. Finally the X-1 adds some lights, sound effects, and a device called a ‘function cycle timer.’ It costs $399.00.” – Buyer’s Guide to Personal Robots, by Mark J. Robillard, Radio-Electronics, March 1986.

Incorporating Renewable Energy into Your EV Charging Routine
The shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) has been a significant stride in the collective effort to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change. As the electric vehicle market continues to grow, with global sales hitting over 6.6 million in 2021, a 108% increase from the previous year, the focus now turns to how we power these vehicles. Transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources for EV charging is the next critical step in ensuring that the benefits of EVs are fully realized. This article explores the ways in which individuals and communities can incorporate renewable energy into their EV charging routines.
Firstly, the concept of 'green charging'—the process of using renewable energy to charge electric vehicles—is not only environmentally sound but also increasingly economically viable. The cost of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems has dropped by about 90% since 2010, making it an accessible option for many. Homeowners with EVs can install solar panels to capture energy during the day, which can then be used to charge their vehicles in the evening. For those without the option to install solar panels, choosing a green energy provider for their home charging setup that sources electricity from renewables is an effective alternative.
In addition to solar power, wind energy is another potent source for EV charging. Wind energy has experienced a dramatic increase in its adoption, with the global wind power capacity reaching 837 GW in 2021, an increase of 93% from the capacity in 2016. EV owners can tap into this resource by purchasing wind energy credits or by selecting energy plans that prioritize wind-sourced electricity. This ensures that the energy used for charging their EVs comes from clean sources, even if they are not directly connected to a wind farm.
The integration of smart chargers has made it easier for EV owners to charge their vehicles when renewable energy production is at its peak. Smart chargers can be programmed to operate when renewable energy generation is high, which usually coincides with low demand periods such as mid-day for solar or night-time for wind. By doing so, EV owners ensure their vehicles are charged using the cleanest energy possible while also taking advantage of lower energy prices during these off-peak times.
Another key element in aligning EV charging with renewable energy is the development of a robust public charging infrastructure that is powered by renewables. Governments and private companies are investing in the installation of public EV charging stations that are directly connected to renewable energy sources. For instance, in California, which leads the US with over 39% of the country's EV sales, there is a plan to install 250,000 charging stations by 2025, many of which will be powered by renewables.
On a larger scale, energy storage systems play a vital role in matching renewable energy supply with EV charging demand. Energy storage solutions, like lithium-ion batteries or pumped hydro storage, can store excess renewable energy generated during peak production times. This stored energy can then be used to provide a consistent and reliable source of green electricity for EV charging, regardless of the time of day or weather conditions.
There is also a growing trend towards vehicle-to-grid (V2G) systems, where EVs do not just consume power but also have the capability to return energy to the grid. This technology allows for a dynamic energy exchange where EVs can be charged during renewable energy peak production and then supply energy back to the grid when it's needed the most. This not only ensures optimal use of renewable energy but also provides stability to the energy grid and potentially offers financial benefits to EV owners.
Finally, to truly capitalize on renewable energy for EV charging, there needs to be increased collaboration between policymakers, renewable energy providers, and the automotive industry. Incentives for residential and commercial solar installations, tax benefits for purchasing green energy, and subsidies for smart chargers are just a few of the ways that can accelerate the adoption of renewable-powered EV charging.

Last week, the Labour MP Darren Jones needed antibiotics for a sick child. It took him and his wife eight attempts in two cities, he reported on Twitter, to find a chemist that could fill the prescription.
Class WhatsApp groups, Mumsnet threads and school-run conversations have been filling up over the past few days with stories like these, thanks to an increase in strep A infections – a common bug that usually just causes a sore throat but can in rare cases be fatal for children – leading to parental panic and GPs writing more prescriptions to be on the safe side. The health secretary, Steve Barclay, insists there are more than enough drugs for everyone, but right now they don’t seem to be reaching the high street fast enough, with parents reporting dashing from pharmacist to pharmacist trying to get a prescription filled.
Meanwhile, shortages of HRT medication are being reported again, after a drought last year that saw menopausal women furtively sharing stocks with friends or even trying to buy on the black market. And if it’s not drugs, it’s something else. Over the past few years a combination of Brexit, the pandemic, the wedging of a giant ship in the Suez canal that caused temporary havoc to global shipping routes, and more recently a bird-flu outbreak affecting poultry farmers, have led to temporary panics over the availability of everything from loo roll to iPhones, fresh fruit to eggs.
Minette Batters, the president of the National Farmers’ Union, warned last week that Britain could be “sleepwalking” into a food supply crisis, with pending problems for everything from pig production to growing tomatoes, cucumbers and pears. The next shortage on the horizon may be electricity, with some smart-meter customers being incentivised to curb peak-time usage to help us through a spell of cold, dry weather.
Britain is used to being a country where those with the money to pay for it could generally have what they wanted, when they wanted it: a place of just-in-time supply chains and bursting shelves, doorstep delivery and cheap credit, convenience and choice. But now we’re having to adjust to more of a scarcity mindset, accepting that niggling absences and even occasionally rationing may be a fact of life. By global or by historical standards western lives are still obviously luxurious. But having got used to a life of convenience, the idea that things may not always necessarily be available when we need them creates a steady throb of anxiety below the surface.
People used to laugh at “preppers”, those paranoid survivalists who stockpiled tinned food and battery-operated torches ready for a vaguely imagined apocalypse. But it stopped feeling so funny when one of the earliest temporary pandemic shortages involved a run on freezers in which to hoard food, and now we’re all sheepishly stocking up on candles and solar-powered chargers in case of January power cuts.
Meanwhile, prepping itself has had a makeover thanks to a rash of Instagram “homesteading” influencers, young women living on ranches in the American midwest who post endless reels of themselves canning peaches, growing squashes and raising chickens like something out of a Laura Ingalls Wilder book. What they’re pitching is a romantic vision of self-sufficiency that hasn’t been this popular since the equally unpredictable 1970s, the last time the homespun “good life” was heavily in vogue, where security means having what looks like a lifetime’s supply of tinned beans in the cellar just in case. Their popularity is, I suspect, down to the fact that they’re oddly soothing to watch, and right now it’s soothing we need.
For scarcity tends to breed anxiety about what may be around the corner, and sometimes a culture of every man for himself. There was no national shortage of petrol in the autumn of 2021, either, but the fear that there might be soon – thanks to a shortage of tanker drivers – scared people into filling up en masse just in case, thus temporarily creating precisely the shortage we’d each been trying individually to avoid. As ministers quickly discovered, once that kind of doom loop sets in, it’s very hard to stop; telling people not to panic just alerts them to the fact that other people must be panicking, and if you think something vital is about to run out then you’ll be, if anything, inclined to grab it before someone else does.
But we’re going to have to learn to adapt somehow, because shortages and interruptions and unexpected absences are almost certainly here to stay. Shifting patterns of global trade, the climate crisis affecting food production, and ongoing disruption to manufacturing, particularly in China – which faces the prospect of a huge Covid “exit wave” as it abandons restrictions in the face of the Omicron variant – are all likely to have knock-on effects. The age of inconvenience, in short, is with us for a while yet.

Home Electrical Panel Upgrades: The Essential Cost Guide
Tumblr media
Electrical panels are the unsung heroes of modern homes, distributing electricity to power everything from your kitchen appliances to your home office and electric vehicles. However, as the demands for electricity increase, the efficiency, safety, and functionality of your electric panelboard become paramount. In this Distribution Box guide, we will explore everything you need to know about electric breaker box upgrades—from the basics of what an electrical panel does to the costs, maintenance tips, and when to consider an upgrade.
When should you upgrade your electrical panel?
You should consider upgrading your electric breaker box if you're experiencing frequent circuit breaker trips, unusual noises, flickering lights, or shocks from outlets. Outdated panels, especially those older than 20 years, often can't meet the energy demands of modern appliances and may pose safety hazards like overheating and electrical fires. Upgrading ensures better energy efficiency, safety, and the capacity to handle the growing energy needs of your home, especially if you plan to add electric vehicle chargers or solar power systems.
What Is an Electrical Panel or Distribution Box?
An electrical panel, also known as an electric breaker box or distribution board, is the heart of your home's electrical system. It receives power from your utility company and divides it into various circuits. These circuits supply electricity to different areas of your home, like your living room, kitchen, and your nest bedroom. Think of it as the traffic director for your home's electrical flow. Key Functions of an Electrical Panelboard - Power Distribution: The panel distributes the incoming electricity to various parts of the house. - Circuit Protection: Each circuit is equipped with a breaker that will cut off electricity if there’s an overload, preventing damage to your system and protecting against fires. Modern electric breaker boxes are designed with safety features, including circuit breakers that automatically trip when they detect an anomaly. Older panels, especially those relying on fuses, are more prone to safety hazards and inefficiencies.
Why Should You Upgrade Your Electrical Panel?
As electrical demands grow, especially with the rise of electric vehicles (EVs), home automation, and modern appliances, your distribution board may no longer be sufficient. An outdated or undersized panel can result in frequent tripping, overheating, and even potential fire hazards. Reasons to Upgrade for Distribution Box - Increase in Power Needs: If you're adding high-power appliances, installing an electric vehicle charging station, or increasing overall energy consumption, upgrading from a 100-amp panel to a 200-amp panel may be necessary. - Safety Concerns: Aging panels with signs of rust, corrosion, or damage can pose serious risks. Breakers that frequently trip or outlets that spark may indicate an overloaded system. - Home Renovations: Renovating or adding extensions to your home might require more circuits, necessitating an upgrade to handle the additional load. - Energy Efficiency: Newer panels can improve energy efficiency, reducing overall power consumption providing opportunities for energy savings, and cutting utility bills.
