What's Next?

My final project will only be able to cover a small sub-system of a larger system that I'm trying to develop for Fab Lab Bali's Hydrogen Village initiative. There are still plethora of things need to be design and develop to complete it. The electrolyser where we actually generate the hydrogen, the pneumatic system, the gas buffer, the canister, and many more. Suffice to say there still a long journey ahead of me, but let's see what awaits at the end of the rainbow.

Dissemination Plan

The future of this project was pretty much already set in stone since the beginning of the program. Once all the system has been developed, it will need to be rigorously tested first because we are working with a very reactive gas. Luckily we already associated with BRIN (Indonesia's national research institute) and they agreed to assist us evaluate our devices. Based on their feedback and test result, I will need to continue updating the device.

Once the device has been evaluated to be safe for consumer user, we will start to introduce it to our project pilot location, Serangan island, a small island located around southern Bali region connected to the main island by a bridge. With the help of the local community, we plan test further the device, compare it's performance with a lab or small industrial generator, and explore the practical daily application of hydrogen as renewable energy source. I can further improve and refine the device based on the test results or any feedback from the community.

After that I plan to document the device thoroughly, from the assembly, operations, maintenance, etc. It will be great to have both written version and also a series of step by step video guidance published online. At this stage, the project should be easily replicated by anyone who has some digital fabrication machines and know how to work with electronics. It's even possible to held workshops with the community in Serangan or other coastal region to build more of this device.

But what about the rest of the people that doesn't have any digital fabrication tools and experience? Honestly we have not plan that far yet. However we can learn for other project that has a heavy emphasis in community and positive impact. The first that come up to my mind is Precious Plastic. I can see it will be beneficial to foster a community around this project not only in Serangan. We could have group of people developing the device further, another can manufacture the device or it's components, another on the community aspect, etc.

License

As this project is part of the Hydrogen Village initiative and partially funded by a grant, I have to consult further which licensing should be used for this project. Personally I don't seek any financial incentive out of this project. I prefer this project to spread far and wide so it can give positive impact to the community and the environment anywhere. I would love to see this project be develop further not just by me, but with as many people as possible who has the same goal. One way I find will help incentivize people to do it is by allowing them to use the project for commercial purpose.

With those considerations in mind, the Creative Common license chooser shows me the license I need to use is Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

This means you are free to share and adapt this project under these circumstances:

• Attribution: You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.
• Share a like: If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original.
• No additional restrictions: You may not apply legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits.

Presentation Draft

Ahead of the presentation we are required to upload a draft for two things, a presentation.png slide and an one minute presenntation.mp4 video. Both should be at 1920 x 1080 resolution and placed on the root of our web directory. This draft is to make sure that we have figure out how to do this correctly, make sure the file name is correct, nothing misspelled, make sure the right format or right codec is used, etc. This is to prevent our files missing on our presentation time, which surprisingly not uncommon.

In my case, I'm using Nuxt which will be compiled by GitLab's build pipelines. I need to place my files inside static directory.
