​
We create a New Earth together.
1.1. Renewable Energy Philosophy
Nicola Tesla - was Serbian-American engineer and futurist, who created 20th century as we know it. The most prominent of his discoveries was AC - Alternate Current, which is used in almost every electrical appliance you may find - from your laptop and some high tech to heavy machinery.
But Tesla as futurist was saying that we could harvest energy from the air; He was saying Ether if to be more precise.
Let's dive in and explore what does it mean.
​
From Buddhist philosophy - Ether is the subtle, all-pervading element that gives space for all other elements to arise, interact, and transform. Ether is not a substance in itself, but the absence of obstruction – the potential, the openness. It is the womb of form, the silent container that allows impermanence to unfold.
Without space, fire would have nowhere to shine or spread.
Without space, water wouldn’t be able to flow.
Air needs space to move, and even the earth needs space to stay still.
​
Space – or what some traditions call ether – is what allows everything to exist and change.
It’s the background that makes movement, growth, and life possible.
Without it, nothing could happen — there would be no room for anything to be.
​
​
1.2. How we can capture an energy from Space ?
When Nicola Tesla was sharing his ideas - the technologies as we know them today were only emerging, plus it was the time when combustion engine was created, thus oil as a resource captured attention of everybody.
​
But if we look closer to what Tesla was saying - we will see that there is no mystic in this saying, rather very practical application.
Space is a container for all elements, and each of the elements can be a source of energy. All this elements ( energy sources ) are available in abundance here on Earth. We can capture each of this sources and transform its energy into electrical energy which in turn will do a useful work for us, like charging our laptop or powering festival sound system.
1.3.
Nature - Technology Harmony
We have some issues to continue to use as a resource.
So as we harvest it from beneath the Earth's surface - we are not giving the ample time for Earth recovery. And this have the consequences, because everything is connected as you know. Moreover there is a risk of pollution during the extraction, transportation and usage of oil. And beyond that during the usage phase there is an air pollution, which is unavoidable by combustion gases and decomposition products. Air pollution is changing the atmosphere of our Earth. Atmospheric changes weaken its natural shield against extraterrestrial objects and also contribute to the deterioration of health in living organisms — humans included.
I think there is no doubt nowadays about this arguments.
​​​
Because Oil is a limited resource, there are wars all around the Earth for it - because it part of human nature to compete for resources.
​
​Renewable Energy resources are available everywhere on Earth so as the technologies are available today.
​
We need only two things:
- Our Awareness
- Our Choice to create a New Earth.
​
Our project is aimed to show, that we humans can live without harming other living forms around us, moreover coexist with nature rather then trying to dominate and destroy it, which in turn leading only to our own self-destruction.
​
Nature - Technology harmony is conscious use of technology with principle of Ahimsa ( no - harm )
We are not consuming all available resources and transforming our land into desert, but we are accessing which resources we can use without harming the balance of existing eco-system. We are fusing and learning from ecosystem and thus from nature rather than dominating it.
​
Moreover Renewable resources called "Renewable" - because they are renewing themselves, or if say technically:
- Our capacity to harvest them is much lesser, than the amount of resource itself.​​
You can't capture all the Sun energy, doesn't matter how hard you try. That's why we can tell that this resources are available in abundance. Everywhere around us. In space. In Ether.
​
But there are lot more resources than Solar energy.
Let's explore them one by one.
1.4.
Solar - Energy
Solar energy is now one of the fastest-growing energy sources worldwide.
It powers everything from off-grid villages to space stations.
​
How we can harvest this energy resource ?
​Sunlight hits the solar panel and light is converted into electricity.
Inside the panels, a process called the photovoltaic effect turns sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. Inverter converts DC to AC, so as AC is mostly used by all electrical appliances. You can power your home or store an energy for future use. Or if you are connected to grid you can even sell your energy to other grid users - only if you are generate more energy if you consume, otherwise you risk to blackout yourself.

Hydrogen
Fuel of the Future
Clean • Silent • Circular
​
At Dharma Station, we embrace hydrogen as a pillar of our energy future — a clean, efficient, and renewable way to store and release power drawn from the sun, wind, and water.
​
​We are living on a planet which by 70% consists of water. And finally humans understood how to produce energy from water. Yes, pure water (H2O). Magic, isn't it ? This fact goes unnoticed, but hydrogen is actively used in cars ( Toyota), trains in Germany and Japan, hydrogen generators replacing diesel generators in hospitals as a back-up source of power. Even NASA is fuelling their space ships with liquid hydrogen.

What Is Hydrogen Energy?​
Hydrogen is the lightest and most abundant element in the universe. When combined with oxygen in a device called a fuel cell, it produces:
-
Electricity
-
Pure water vapor
-
Heat
Unlike fossil fuels, no carbon emissions are released - only water.
​
1 kg of hydrogen contains ~3x more energy than 1 kg of gasoline
​
How It Works:
-
We generate renewable electricity from solar, wind, and micro-hydro.
-
When we produce more than we use, that extra power flows to an electrolyzer, which splits water into hydrogen and oxygen.
-
The hydrogen is stored safely in low-emission tanks.
-
When needed — at night or during cloudy days — a fuel cell converts the hydrogen back into clean electricity to power our retreat.
This process is called green hydrogen: energy created from natural sources which are available in abundance without disrupting natural eco-systems, stored in nature’s simplest element, and returned without pollution.

​
Our Vision
At Dharma Station, hydrogen is more than a power source - it’s part of our philosophy:
To live in harmony with the Earth by closing the loop between what we take, store, and return.
By integrating hydrogen into our energy system, we move closer to total self-sufficiency - a regenerative retreat powered by light, water, and human intention.
