ABOUT RAGNAROK ENGINEERING
Non‑Electric Technology in Harmony with Nature.
It has been a long journey to get here and not in a straight line... different factors had to come together — all the reasons behind the project and what is open to be achieved. ...The way forward was found to be in gender, the balance between male and female energies; androgynous. Seeing this as a quality rather than a problem. This lead to the Philosophical Concept that underpins the whole project, the engineering change in direction. – Philosophical Engineering.
Our position is that the contemporary world has made itself very vulnerable to collapse as much is wrong, and getting worse. Besides the vulnerability issues there are also sustainability issues, but the inertia and greed forces within society far exceed the calls to reform. — So the direction in which engineers themselves push technological boundaries needs to radically change. — 'Hard Change' is still going to happen, but it's 'How' we go through it that matters!
From this philosophical concept an experimental model was designed then made in a home workshop (above photo). The design was then improved, the workshop capacity stretched, and a larger Mk2 prototype built. Prototype development continues to further refine the design. – The physical prototype also illustrates a specific embodiment of the abstract philosophical concept upon which it is based!
Collaboration with partners is now needed to develop the project and its derivatives into production.
The project's modest beginnings do not reflect the magnitude of its importance, only the of obliviousness of our mesmerized technological society to real world inevitably.
Yin and Yang needs balance, so in a world dominated by Yang, we need more Yin.
