Tomorrow Lab was founded by Theodore Ulrich, Pepin Gelardi and Dean DiPietro. Together they design and develop products with a unique focus on prototyping new hardware technology. I sat down with the three partners in their Manhattan studio to get their insights relating to my thesis work. They told me that the main obstacle to decentralized energy production is the lack of large capacity storage. They also suggested that disassembling existing products is an effective method for creating functional prototypes. Their development process often consists of hacking off-the-shelf devices to test a design concept. By benchmarking existing products on the market, they believe it is possible to identify potential opportunities for energy harvesting.
