Campaign For Real Events is a voluntary group providing demonstrations of DIY renewable energy and recycling, and 'alt tech' for art projects and education.
We started with homemade 12 Volt PA equipment for street
performances in the 80's, inspired by Welfare State International and the
Mutoid Waste Company. In the mid 90's we developed pedal powered PA systems
of increasing size which were used for small festival stages and Council
street events. Although the pedal generators are our own designs, much
respect is due to Rinky-Dink.org
and Bill Wright for showing what was possible.
More recent projects include Lantern Processions powered
by renewable energy, Children's Pedal Generators, and workshops on making
miniature generators from computer printer motors.
Though we use some commercial wind generators and solar panels, most of our equipment is made from items recycled from scrapped cars, domestic appliances, furniture, bicycles and computers. Designs are kept as simple as possible and we produce DIY information to encourage other people to copy them both on this site and in leaflets given away at events.
