Having the designs available for a variety of different objects could benefit humanity.

If designs for a variety of useful items were licensed under the GFDL or other "free" licenses, this would give the chance for commercial and not-for-profit entities to more easily enter the market. This also may allow for the items to be produced at the lowest possible cost.

This resource is here to promote and create easily accessible and truly open designs, and to allow people "learn by doing" along the way.

Brainstorming

Things that would be useful to have open designs for might include:

  • A tractor
  • A harvester
  • Seed planters
  • Other farming implements and agricultural equipment
  • Silicon and cheap (organic?... roll to roll?) solar cells
  • Wind turbines
  • Dish washers
  • Clothes washers
  • Clothes dryers
  • Sinks
  • Pipes
  • Shirts
  • Socks
  • Pants
  • Photovoltaics
  • Cars
  • Barns
  • Houses
  • Other buildings and Blue prints
  • Machine tools
  • Manufacturing equipment
  • Electric motors
  • Aeroplanes
  • Heavy equipment
  • Microchips
  • Microphones
  • LCD's
  • Flash memory
  • RAM
  • Amplifiers
  • Those space-foam mattresses
  • Rockets [1] [2]
  • An optimized UHF antenna [3]
  • Vertical farms
  • 3D solar cells
  • Wind generators
  • Skyscrapers
  • E-ink
  • Exercise equipment
  • Blankets

How to get involved

For the most part, THERE ARE NO WRONG WAYS TO GET INVOLVED so please do what you think would further the goals of this project but more importantly the mission of Wikiversity and Wikimedia as a whole, so long as you adhere to a few basic rules:

  • Be civil towards others (and maybe even considerate, polite, and respectful)
  • Be bold
  • Assume good faith towards others
  • Act in good faith in your contributions
