DIYNGO stands for “Do It Yourself Non Governmental Organisation”. We are an NGO (currently a voluntary organisation) who create an awareness of the usefulness of renewable technologies, e.g. wind and solar power. Specifically, we are interested in using this renewable energy to power a range of computing devices, from Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs or ‘smartphones’) to Personal Computers (notably so-called ‘netbooks’). To this end we currently have two renewable energy ‘products’ which are in the final stages of prototyping: SOL-1 and SWIM-1. Additionally, we have written software to help people make decisions about the most appropriate renewable energy/ICT solution.
