Project Description

An environmentally responsible Science, Technology, Art & Nature Center with an emphasis on alternative energy, and humanitarian applications for the use of technology & robotics. The project would endeavor to create a sense of community and education. The project would provide general public access to interactive "hands on" exhibits, and function as an educational Institute with real tangible examples of each beneficial technology via the use of alternative energy, recycling, the use of responsible materials and associated research and development.

In addition it will provide the following;

1- A community project that has outdoor and indoor facilities and activities based on humanitarian and environmental ideals.

2- A large solar array and other alternative energy devices to operate the facilities, exhibits and equipment.

3- An Organic Farming project.

4- A Humanitarian & Environmental Research & Development division, in effect a "think tank" project, that develops low cost tangible prototypes and solutions to current world issues and needs.

Basic Benefits to the Community

1- Creation of a wide variety of jobs ranging from general labor to technical, with prospects for advancement and for entrepreneur development projects.

2- Tourism, as people will come to the community to visit the center, the primary attraction of the museum center would be our unique robotic interactive exhibits, which have international appeal.

3- Educational enrichment and vocational on the job training relating to and including many technical and creative subjects and applications, as well as to provide educational internships, educational demonstrations and services to Colleges, Universities  and area schools.

4- To create examples of self sustaining; industries, educational facilities and communities that can inspire the general public.

5- To create a series of creative and inventive community projects that foster the beautification of the area through plantings, public works of art and science, environmental cleanup, alternative  energy and detoxification.

6- To create an outlet for local creative citizens to use their skills for the advancement of community welfare.

7- To encourage people to stay away from drugs and other harmful elements and to spend time learning in an environment that fosters service, compassion and creativity.

8- To provide viable, tangible and producible product inventions and designs for local industries to produce, and to foster the ability to export these products to the world market, (currently approximately 35% of our sales are exported to other countries). Through this part of the project unused industrial facilities would be revived and rendered more environmentally and economically viable, in effect reused (which is essentially a form of recycling).

9- Through our educational programs we would strengthen the local workforce and future local workforce potential. We would also help to instill the upcoming generation's interest in viable environmental ventures and product production.

Location Basic Requirements

1- Clean air and water. 

2- Accessibility and connection to nature.

3- A moderate climate throughout the year.

4- Community and government receptivity to Humanitarian & Environmental projects.

5- Community and government receptivity to Educational, Scientific and Artistic Projects. These projects would all be of high moral standard and viewable for all ages.

6- Community and government receptivity to the creation of environmentally responsible light industries that would create products to help humanity and the environment and create numerous technology and creatively based jobs and promote workers health and welfare.

7- Community and government receptivity to the creation of projects that aid the local school systems and inspire the youth, that help the poor and promote self improvement and encourage people to develop their potential creatively, academically and through community creative and environmental projects. 

8- Possible types of locations: disused rural schools, woods, farms, or other community accessible buildings, providing land is also available. 

9- Prime location according to our current research would be the moderate climates located in Western Oregon and Northern California, but other locations will be considered.  

 How we currently conform to our Goals & Standards

We use low impact materials in our production including, but not limited to, soy based glue for plywood, water based paints that are low VOC, water based wood glues, lead free soldiers, ROHS compliant parts when ever possible.

We buy new high quality metal for our creations. The scrap material generated is reclaimed to make small parts and art. At the final phase the smallest scrap is moved to the recycling bins and taken to recycling facilities. The same process is also done for the wood materials, but in the case of the wood, the final material is biodegradable directly to the environment. Plastics are used in moderation and also go through the same process of being used until almost every scrap is utilized. All the material reclaimed in our fabrication processed goes through a screening process in which it is determined for use in either art of science related displays and research and development projects. Old electronic art is also recycled when ever anything is decommissioned from our shop or deemed obsolete.

We currently exceed all US standards for low impact electronic parts and systems and conform to over 90% of the European ROHS standard in all of our products with a goal of 100% before years end. Many of our products have reached the 100% mark already and are available for export to Europe as well.

Our standard is that all of our products must also be educational and of a morally high standard, (viewable and beneficial to all ages).

Our research and development projects are designed to assist people with disabilities and to assist the environment. Data regarding some of this is viewable at our R & D link.

We have also created a nonprofit project that merged with another project to create a free school for people in an impoverished village in Haiti. The project also does a variety of U.S. educational activities at schools and other facilities.

Who We Are

MRISAR is a family owned and operated business.  It's creators/main staff members have also founded a nonprofit organization, which functions as a humanitarian and environmental service to the community and the world. Other family members participate as assistant staff and occasional helpers as needed.

Our venture has won awards and International accreditation.  Our research has been published by Universities & Scientific Journals. We have also been featured numerous times in  newspaper articles and television segments.
