Welcome to my OpenWetware page.

I am interested in an OpenWetware project in bioenergy research, RepRap, and solar utilities.

My first project will document, using multimedia (high-resolution images, video tutorials, and protocols) on how to harvest melanin from bacillus atropheus for use in capacitors, solar panels, batteries, and other electronics.
