2008 EnergyFACTory

Come experience the Energy FACTory Under the
45 ft. Tall Wind Powered Clock Tower!

Last year, Global Inheritance brought you the Energy FACTory featuring cell phone charging bikes, solar powered misters, live screen printing, car conversation, ethanol cooked popcorn, and much more. This year, we bring you the new and improved Energy FACTory with more punch than a church dance. The Energy FACTory is anchored by a 45 ft. tall wind powered clock stationed at the main entrance as you walk into the festival. It’s an easy target.

New Inside the Energy FACTory in 2008

Solar Power/Mannequin Exhibit

Solar energy will be represented in an art exhibit that merges music and mannequins.

Tour de Coachella

Last year’s cell phone charging bikes will make another appearance at Coachella 2008; however, this year we are adding misting fans to the list . As people pedal the bikes, the energy they create will be transferred into a fan, thus making the blades spin and providing a much needed cool down for festival goers and their friends.

Vegetable Oil to Biodiesel Conversion

This biodiesel exhibit will include informational demos and discussions about the pros and cons of producing and using biodiesel to fuel cars and other fossil fuel-guzzling items. A live conversion of 50 gallons of vegetable oil into biodiesel will also occur during the course of the weekend.

Ethanol Popcorn-Cooking Tree

If your stomach wants to go retro, stop by the Ethanol Popcorn Tree, Jiffy Pop popcorn is cooked using ethanol. If you’re lazy, we will even cook it for you.

Eco-Friendly Poster/Shirt Screen Printing

Eco-friendly screen-printing allows festival goers to learn more about the world of sustainable fashion. Original artwork and designs are printed onto shirts made of bamboo and organic cotton.

Solar Powered DJ Station

Apollo would be proud. Enough said.
