Juice Sustainable Innovation Workshop 2010


Monster Attack organised the first Annual Sustainable Innovation Workshop at the University of Reading. Research Engineers at the TSBE centre were invited to develop sustainable innovation ideas. Proposals were made for a new wind turbine design, a lemon battery PV array prototyping tool and a physical computing interface for building energy use. The link below describes Marek Kubik's exciting design for a geodesic dome made from bamboo and tennis balls, that could be used in disaster relief.


We would like to thank Caversham Lawn Tennis Club for kindly donating used tennis balls for the project and the University of Reading for supporting the workshop. We are looking forward to Juice 2011!

NOx eating airport terminal



Monster Attack and James Mills with Research Engineers from the University of Reading's TSBE Centre recently completed a competition entry to design a new sustainable airport terminal for airBaltic.

The project explored the challenge of designing a 'sustainable' airport terminal. One of the proposals explored in the design was for a NOx eating facade that it was calculated from the manufacturer's claims that it could eat all the NOx produced during LTO (Landing and Take off) cycles.
