Stanky Diagram

 Thoughts

Starting off, I was checking out the site called Otherlab. It looks very unique. They are involved in creating renewable energy and utilizing energy-saving technology, as well as employing a lot of robots. First, I checked out the Sankey diagram of the United States energy system. It looks very messy at first, but it seems to fit the standards of the website itself. It’s very expressive and hits the goal of displaying data for what it’s about. I’m submitting a photo of it below. I'm gonna try to make it as big as possible without making it ‘too’ big. Diving deeper, I think even though it’s messy, I really like the take on the data for it. They have color slots to show what goes where, so it’s not too messy. It shows how everything is connected by color code and the line design/flow.

Moving forward, I explored the other tabs offered on this website. They explained how they were an independent research and design lab, combining creativity with rigor. Making new solutions in renewable energy and robotics for the market. For many years, they’ve raised millions in research funding, having 12 project partners as well. Some of these partners are NASA, Google, and the US Department of Energy. Battery-powered, floating wind turbines, and many other things are included in their project. Mentioned before, their goal is to help reduce carbon emissions and create cleaner energy.
