Grid Beam is a reusable structural system that allows you to dream up and build complex projects quickly.
Phil Jergenson is an artist and systems designer who enjoys building solar powered machines. "I enjoy chasing dreams and testing new ideas. I am a trained model maker and self-taught machinist and metal fabricator. I have lived off-grid for 30 years, and spent 15 of those building and living in micro-houses in remote locations. I have scratch-built more than a dozen small solar-powered vehicles, some of which are tractors and work vehicles." Phil is a co-founder of the Renewable Energy Development Institute (REDI), a 19-year-old nonprofit in Willits, California.
