The Aluminium “Garden Shed” Idea
The Aluminium "Garden Shed"
The product:
Imagine this. It looks just like an ordinary stainless steel garden shed. It measures 2.28 metres by 1.83 metres. It has a 1.98 metre sloping roof. But it's made out of aluminium, not stainless steel.
For extra stability and security, it can be securely fixed to a concrete slab or timber base, ensuring it stays put during strong winds or storms. Or it can simply be installed indoors, such as in the garage, the study or a spare bedroom.
It includes an aluminium floor, suitable for indoor use, with a non slip rubber mat to put it on. Or you can do your own foundation/flooring work if you are installing it outside.
The frame for it is made out of stainless steel, and has extra stainless steel bracing, compared to what a normal garden shed looks like. But it is actually very similar in style and appearance to the one in the link/picture.
This shed comes flat-packed with all the fittings and clear instructions you need for straightforward DIY assembly.
Includes all rivets and screws for assembly.
It can be assembled in about 2 hours by a team of two ordinary men.
It's designed more for inside use, so it's not truly a garden shed. It just looks exactly like a garden shed. But it can be used indoors or outdoors just fine.
You're totally shielded from the electromagnetic quantum effects inside the "garden shed".
And that's the product.

Manufacturing:
Imagine this. It gets manufactured in a factory in Mexico.
There was a process of testing, prototyping and product development. And a perfect model was designed. And it was designed for mass manufacturing in factories. And then the blueprints were formed, and released for fair use internationally. No intellectual property or copyright. Anyone can do it.
And then it gets manufactured in a factory in Mexico. Other places do it too. But imagine it in Mexico for the moment.
They build thousands of them every day.
They pack them into cardboard boxes, and they're shipped out.

Sales and distribution:
They get sold on mainstream online shopping websites. And out of shops and out of churches. They're just aluminium garden sheds.
They also get sold by the container load to anyone who wants them.
They cost about $1500 nzd.

In America, you should be able to go to your local Home Depot or Lowes and just buy one. Take it home, and assemble it straight away. It shouldn’t take more than one long afternoon to buy it, bring it home, and assemble it. In New Zealand you should be able to buy them at Mitre Ten or Bunnings.

Where do they get used?
Just imagine they get used in Ireland.
Ireland buys a million in 2027.
Every householder and home owner in Ireland could buy one. And put it in their garage, spare room, or backyard, or barn.

What does it get used for?
Restoring democracy
Doing democracy from home
Restoring conversation
Restarting "horizontal" conversation
Restoring people's sanity (people need conversation)
Providing safety
Sheltering the various players and individuals important in democracy, such as politicians, their family and staff; bureaucrats, police, civil servants, military, journalists, academics, experts, CEOs, lawyers, judges, accountants, activists and concerned citizens.
And so, Ireland restores democracy and gets rid of the hive-mind thing by mid-late 2027. And its awesome.

Of course it's manufactured all over the place in many countries. And it's shipped all over the world and used everywhere.
For example, it could be manufactured and used in places like Australia, Brazil, France, Canada and the United States of America.
It could also be mass produced in places like Iran and shipped globally (shipped overland, probably). And Egypt. Or Kazakhstan. Or Kenya. Or Lesotho.

There is a picture here of a stainless steel shed. The aluminium shed should look just like it.
Note: blogger won’t let me upload more photos at the moment. Which is sad.

Some more ideas of how to use it:
Male gamers can game inside them
Gamers can do streaming
Women can hide inside this aluminium box while at home so that their rapists can’t talk to them at home while they enjoy their leisure time. They can have a bed, desk, computer, TV, game console or art/craft stuff in there. They could play Zelda, Witcher Three, The Sims 4, Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. They could do cross stitch, water colours or knitting. They could watch Fleabag, Desperate Housewives, Finding Carter, Reign, The Good Place, or just another binge watch of The Lord Of The Rings or Harry Potter. Or they could just read books and stuff. Sorry, the correct term isn’t rapists. It is men who perform actions that are “rape adjacent” or “in the same neighbourhood as rape”.
Celebrities like Gene Simmons, Robin Williams, Robbie Williams, Amanda Bynes, Britney Spears could have used them or might want them. People like pewdiepie and other streamers could use one to sleep in and use their computer inside.
Pastoral care team and various types of ministers could use them to do remote ministry. As though they’re a decentralised call centre. For example, Kenyans or Americans. You talk to a Kenyan or Pakistani or American or Ugandan pastor that you met through Facebook, and the conversation is online and encrypted. So many people want to jump online to talk to people, both for their own sake and for others. This technology could restore proper conversation for so many people. And this includes conversation for ministry and pastoral care. Conversation for pastors to talk to parishioners. Conversation between friends, family members, and congregants in church. It can restore horizontal conversation, and so it in an affordable manner.
Extra from the old page.
Create a good prototype.
And then mass produce it.
Think big.
Think huge.
Think 10 million to start. And then expand to having 500 million units worldwide. Many people will want dozens.

Any guy, and many women, could take one of these home to assemble it. Even a relatively inept man with soft, girly hands who works in IT, accounting, retail, sales, education or software development.
Put one in your back yard. One in your garage. A second one in your garage. Put one in each bedroom. And one in the lounge and one in the dining room.
*
If you are a political movement and you need space, just put twenty in a warehouse. I dunno. Put one und your office in parliament.
Use one in your local police station.
Use 100 in police headquarters. Use 100 in the headquarters for your video game company. Use them in a side room of your church, mosque or synagogue. Use ten at your newspaper. Use ten at your online news website. Use it to write a novel in. Put a toilet in it. Smoke cigarettes in there. Drink in there. Do illegal stuff in there. Pirate stuff in there. Run web servers in there. Share files. Do philosophy in there. Run classes in there. Communicate from inside. Build an internet cafe in a warehouse with 100 of these. Put 100 of them in a warehouse and rent them as rooms like a hotel.
*
Some guys will want to have 12 in their house. If they’re mass produced and easy to assemble.
One in each bedroom, for five bedrooms. One in the study. One in the dining room. One in the upstairs lounge. Two in the downstairs lounge. And two in the garage. And one of the garage units is used as a bathroom. That’s twelve. Maybe one in the kitchen as well and one in the back yard. Makes 14 of them. That’s an extreme case, but I think you get it.
*
It will need maybe some additional structural elements inside to make it work. Aluminium has less strength than steel and less mass. And it’s more expensive. And so perhaps the frame and bracing might be made out of some sort of stainless steel (alloy). With an aluminium exterior.

I have a theory and feeling.
You don't need to rely on the faraday cage effect if you build a tin shed out of aluminium more than 1-2 millimetres thick. It can have some small gaps. It should be okay. Maybe even as thin as 0.5 mm thick. It's a targeting issue! A computer science issue! It's a computer science problem and an engineering problem and a targeting problem more than it is a pure physics problem, especially a quantum physics problem.
And then next it is an economic and production problem and a sociology problem. But just get the product out there, and free open source blueprints, and everything changes. Make it ubiquitous. Maybe it works!!
An aluminium garden shed, with an aluminium floor. Delivered flatpack, easy to assemble by just some dude.

The shed approach
What if all you need to do is buy a metal garden shed that is made out of aluminium?
It might lack structural integrity because an aluminium structure is more fragile than a stainless steel structure. And because of this maybe it's slightly thicker than normal garden sheds, and maybe because it's not made out of steel, you need to mix the aluminium with other metals to make an alloy so that it's strong enough. Or something like that.
Maybe it needs an aluminium base to it as well.
And what if you mass produce them and then literally everyone can have a nice and affordable garden shed that they can assemble outside of their home and/or inside of their garage. And you can just buy one!
And if it's good, you buy more than one. Some people might purchase ten, twenty or even thirty for their home (if it's a big property).
I’d you have a five bedroom house with two lounges, a dining room, and a two car garage, some people might put two sheds in the master bedroom and one in each of other bedrooms. Two in the main lounge, one in the second lounge, one in the dining room and two in the garage (one converted to a bathroom). And two in the backyard. This totals fourteen.
And some people might literally just have one in the garage and one in the backyard. Safely disguised as your ordinary everyday garden shed, just made out of aluminium.
It’s super useful if it can be mass produced. That is the key. Mass production and ubiquitous availability. Maybe you can even buy it on websites from places like Bunnings, Mitre 10, Home Depot, eBay, TradeMe or Amazon. For example, you can have normal conversations with your peers. It’s a product with mass market appeal. And it would be a massive game changer.

The vision:
I want to see the “model T ford” of aluminium garden sheds produced. A shed designed for the common man. Affordable, good and widely available.
