INTRODUCING THE RUBY MICROGRID SHELTER
The Smart Shelter
The Ruby smart structure is the next evolution in sustainable geodesic design, a stellated and tessellated rhombicuboctahedron formed from silicone fused and mechanically fastened pre-tensioned aerospace alloy aluminum plate panels. This unique geometry allows for infinite aggregation and expansion in a high-wind and impact rated shell with maximum efficiency in energy capture and utilization. By integrating various renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and thermoelectric energy, this shelter provides a self-sustaining and eco-friendly solution for energy needs in remote or off-grid areas.
Living Lightly on the Land
These innovative structures offer a sustainable expandable alternative for various applications, including homes, shelters, greenhouses, classrooms, cabins and garages.
By utilizing aluminum as the primary material, Ruby structures have a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to traditional construction methods.
Aluminum is a highly recyclable material, meaning that these structures can be disassembled and repurposed at the end of their lifespan, reducing waste and preserving natural resources.
Energy Harvesting and Storage
The harvested energy from wind, solar, and thermoelectric sources is efficiently managed and stored within the smart shelter. Advanced energy management systems and high-capacity batteries are integrated into the structure, allowing for the storage and distribution of the generated energy.
Natural Lighting for your Ecosystem
Ruby’s unique geodesic design allows users to make any section a window for increased natural light and efficient ventilation, creating a healthier and more comfortable environment.
Structure at Scale
Two current scales with the Ruby Gladiator weighing under 2000 pounds and the Ruby Colossus weighing under 3500 pounds. Flat-packable and user friendly, four untrained users with hand tools can assemble a unit in a day. Ruby shelters can be safely hoisted or flown after assembly.
Fractal Energy Management
Dividing the energy capture over the spectrum of available natural sources of energy and stacking those energy streams into a single, stackable energy well ensures a constant and reliable power supply for the shelter's own needs and any connected devices or equipment. The scalable energy storage capacity also enables the shelter to provide energy to nearby communities or emergency response teams in times of need.
Stackable Microgrid and Versatile Design
The Ruby smart shelter features our patent pending EV3® stackable microgrid mesh network, allowing multiple shelters to be connected and form a larger energy network.
Housing Which Can Grow with You
The Ruby system offers unparalleled versatility and flexibility, allowing for seamless connections between identical modules on all eight sides. Ruby structures can also be elongated along any of the cross-sectional views to create an octagonal arch structure.
Infinitely Configurable
This unique geometric design not only adds a touch of elegance and modernity to any space but also ensures exceptional structural integrity and strength. The modular nature of this system enhances its efficiency and ease of installation, making it an ideal choice for both small-scale and large-scale projects.
Rapidly Deployable
This modular approach also enables scalability and adaptability to varying energy demands. The shelters can be easily transported and assembled in different locations, making them suitable for rapid deployment in disaster-stricken areas or temporary settlements. The versatile design of the shelter also ensures its compatibility with different terrains and climates, making it a viable solution for energy sustainability in various environments.
AN ECO-conscious LIVING SOLUTION
The Ruby structure provides a smart shelter solution for eco-conscious individuals, organizations seeking sustainable solutions or for those just looking to have a grid alternative.
