Why Florian Guillaume recommends Cesar Jung-Harada / Protei
“Cesar treats open-source hardware as a public good. That generosity is rare among inventors.”
Franco-Japanese inventor Cesar Jung-Harada created Protei, an open-source, shape-shifting sailing drone capable of trawling ocean surfaces for oil, plastic and pollution. Unlike rigid-hulled vessels, Protei's articulated hull can follow wind direction while dragging collection equipment. After volunteering at the Deepwater Horizon spill, he built the prototype in Hong Kong and released all plans as creative commons. His floating oyster-bar-office in Victoria Harbour grows oysters that filter har

Cesar將開源硬件當成公共財。呢種慷慨，喺發明家之中好少見。
法日裔發明家Cesar Jung-Harada創造咗Protei，一架開源、識變形嘅帆船無人機，可以喺海面拖網收集石油、塑膠同污染物。同硬殼船唔同，Protei嘅船身係關節式嘅，可以一路順住風向行，一路拖住收集裝置。佢喺Deepwater Horizon漏油事故做完義工之後，喺香港整出原型，再將全部設計圖以Creative Commons公開。佢喺維多利亞港嘅浮動蠔吧辦公室養蠔，啲蠔會過濾海港嘅水，上面就係一個工作空間。一個創客兼行動者，將開源硬件當成應對環境問題嘅基礎設施。
