As mentioned on my previous post Vic was our tour guide during our visit to Echo. He did great on showing us the plants, trees and Crops that Echo develops. There were also animals around the farm. the more sociable ones and thus, my favorites were the goats. They would put their faces against the fence and allow us to rub there noses.
Vic did great up to the technology development part...see, my class is full of engineers so every time Vic described a technology he had to face a million technical questions. Half of the time the answers Vic gave were not complete enough or accurate enough and then the engineers would fill in for him.
I am one of those engineering students and was completely blown away by the developed technology. Two devices impacted me the most, one was a clay water filter that contained silver particles, that act as a biocide. The clay filter adsorbs the silver particlse and the dead microorganisms, separating from the water that is being filtered. The other device that completely blew me away, was a hand bicycle. It is basically a wheel chair that can be powered by hand-pedaling. Vic let me ride it. It is incredibly fast and can go in reverse. The pedals can be used to break; and, it had an incredibly small turning radius. I was so amazed by this device that I am attempting to duplicate it.
