Scaling up

 A new national loaf

Scaling up: A new national loaf is a essay I wrote about bread, efficiency and the revolution.

Using a piece of scrap 6mm steel, some bricks and mud, I was able to build a very simple and capable oven. I used metal sheet because i wanted a cooking surface as well as a furn style oven compartment. This oven is suitable for no more than 4kg of bread dough and is pretty crude, but the bricks that built the mansions of the capitalists could build a far larger, more beautiful oven.

If the grid collapsed and infrastructure failed, how would you feed the masses? Concentrated communities run on concentrated collaboration. How could you organise to semi-mass produce the most staple of staple foods?

TLDR: Waterwheels.
