The vision was to enlarge the concept of floating, solar desalination units, and incorporate them into a modular, expandable system - utilising modern portable desalination technology. The Aquahex system consists of two units: a Waterhex and a Solarhex. The Waterhexes (white) are used to generate drinkable water from seawater. The Solarhexes (black) are used as energy extensions, absorbing additional solar energy to boost the efficiency of the Waterhexes. The network of the Aquahexes can be as large or as small as required. The Waterhexes can also work as independent units with their own independent solar panels. Each unit is designed to fit into a twenty foot container and requires minimal setup, utilising snap fits and universal joinery. Manufacturing costs are also minimised through the use of modular parts and componentry.

It breaks down workflow into several key elements: planning, tracking, recording, processing and visualizing. The technique uses a time breakdown in order to encourage efficiency: 4 working periods (each 25 minutes) with 5 minutes of rest in between. At the end of the fourth period, an extended break of 25 minutes is allowed before starting the cycle again. The Pomodorogon focuses on the visual and tracking aspects of this technique, creating visual and physical connections through object and movement with the pomodoro workflow. The user rotates the shape at the beginning and end of each interval. 8 sides, 8 periods of time. when the unit is on a number: 25 minutes of work. when the unit is on the arrow: 5 minutes of rest. The arrow after the fourth working period signifies the extended 25 minute break. The pomodorogon enhances the visual and physical aspects of the technique, using an action and visual cue to create a rhythmic working pattern. It's also double-sided, so you can take it to a pomodoro group, or sit opposite a like-minded co-worker. <img src="http://payload113.cargocollective.com/1/3/114983/4561198/Pomodorogon_1.jpg" width="670" height="471" width_o="2044" height_o="1439" src_o="http://payload113.cargocollective.com/1/3/114983/4561198/Pomodorogon_1_o.jpg" data-mid="24282989" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload113.cargocollective.com/1/3/114983/4561198/Pomodorogon_2.jpg" width="670" height="471" width_o="2044" height_o="1439" src_o="http://payload113.cargocollective.com/1/3/114983/4561198/Pomodorogon_2_o.jpg" data-mid="24283002" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload113.cargocollective.com/1/3/114983/4561198/Pomodorogon_FLIP diagram.jpg" width="670" height="471" width_o="2048" height_o="1442" src_o="http://payload113.cargocollective.com/1/3/114983/4561198/Pomodorogon_FLIP diagram_o.jpg" data-mid="24285176" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload113.cargocollective.com/1/3/114983/4561198/Pomodorogon_3.jpg" width="670" height="471" width_o="2044" height_o="1439" src_o="http://payload113.cargocollective.com/1/3/114983/4561198/Pomodorogon_3_o.jpg" data-mid="24283087" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload113.cargocollective.com/1/3/114983/4561198/Pomodorogon_ColourRange.jpg" width="670" height="471" width_o="2044" height_o="1439" src_o="http://payload113.cargocollective.com/1/3/114983/4561198/Pomodorogon_ColourRange_o.jpg" data-mid="24285418" border="0" align="left"/> #site_footer { display: none !important; } © jonliow POMODOROGON (2012) The “Pomodoro” technique is a time management tool that is used to increase productivity and efficiency in the workplace.
