Living better with less, limiting your carbon impact, this is the philosophy of a young engineer from Concarneau in Brittany. For eight years, he has been traveling the seas in a catamaran to find and experiment with solutions that respect the environment, this is what we call “low tech”.
He is called “the little prince of low tech”. Its goal: to unearth all over the world these green technologies that save the planet. For six years, Corentin de Chatelperron has been crisscrossing the seas of the globe aboard his catamaran, transformed into a floating laboratory. With his teammates, he has already collected some sixty techniques for daily living without consuming a single gram of energy, with a multifunction pedal set, an oven, a lamp that run on solar energy.
So many simple systems that, according to him, could change the world. Back in Concarneau, he documents his latest findings. Each of his discoveries is shared for free on his online platform, in the form of tutorials. And to verify that they work, the engineer went so far as to test them himself in a bay in southern Thailand. For 4 months, he lived independently on a raft with two chickens, a duck, and about thirty cellotech, supposed to meet all his vital needs.
