Description

SENSORICA is an open, decentralized, and self-organizing value network.

SENSORICA thrives on open innovation.

We design, produce, and distribute open hardware.

SENSORICA is open, why compete with us when you can join us?

SENSORICA is a commons-based peer production system.

Your revenue is based on your contribution within SENSORICA.

SENSORICA is NOT a power-based structure, but a value-based structure.

We bet on speed rather than protection, we thrive on open innovation.

SENSORICA is a growing pool of know-how in sensing technology.

SENSORICA is an institution designed for the know-how economy.

Know-how and production capacity are the key to the new economy.

What you know and what you can do are more important that who you are.

Share and be social and you’ll be fine

All revenue is redistributed among members based on individual contributions.

Be autonomous and show initiative There is no boss within SENSOICA

A new economical paradigm…

Description

The aim of the project is to design and create a system device for optical characterization of thin and transparent materials, as an open source project so it can have a maximum of social impact, and can be utilized and modified by communities around the world. The main application of the device is the measurement of the quantum efficiency (QE) of photovoltaic cells. The device is essentially an automated tilt angle and rotation stage, capable of both tilt angle adjustments (from 0-90 degrees) and for rotation (0-360 degrees) with 1 degree accuracy. There are some additional elements for fixing the sample and for electrical connections.
