Open Hardware und Do it Yourself Projekte sind riesiger Schatz an wertvollem Technischen Wissen. Hunderttausende von Menschen weltweit haben erfolgreiche technische Lösungen für verschiedenste Anwendungsbereiche entwickelt, und täglich werden es mehr. Meistens handelt es sich hierbei um technische Lösungen, die mit relativ einfachen technischen Ressourcen in kleinen Werkstätten hergestellt werden können.

Potenziell handelt es sich bei diesem technischen Wissen um freies Wissen, weil es kaum durch Patente oder anderen Regelungen geschützt ist.

Dieses Technische Wissen könnte eine enorme Bedeutung haben, vor allem kleine Unternehmen, Startups und Privatpersonen.

Why the OHO search engine exists

OHO strategy 1.png

Open Hardware and Do it Yourself projects are huge treasures of valuable technical knowledge. Hundreds of thousands of people worldwide have successfully developed technical solutions for a wide range of applications, and more are being created every day. Most of these are technical solutions that can be produced with relatively simple technical resources in small workshops.

Potentially, this technical knowledge is free because it is hardly protected by patents or other regulations. However, the vast majority of this knowledge is not or insufficiently documented. In almost all cases, there are no plans, parts lists, etc., which are necessary for rebuilding or further developing a project. There are many publications, especially on the internet, but these publications are often on small and anonymous websites and are only available in a single language.

This technical knowledge could have a huge impact, especially on small businesses, start-ups and individuals. It could enable a more localized and regional kind of technical and economic development. It could enable sustainable development from an ecological, social, and economic point of view. With OHO, we would like to contribute to this.

What does the OHO Search Engine do

About se2 v1.jpg

The OHO Search Engine crawls, an entire web for a variety of search keywords and their combinations and is thus able to find even small "hidden" websites.

Further language versions are in preparation. In addition, developers can upload their projects directly to OHO. (more)

The search results found go through a partly automatic and partly manual quality control. They are listed, classified, arranged in categories, and displayed with thumbnails and short descriptions. Currently, search results from the following main categories can be found on OHO

  • Computers
  • Electronics
  • Renewable Energies
  • Health care
  • Trade
  • Industry
  • Agriculture
  • Forestry
  • Mobility
  • Logistics
  • Environmental technology

What is the benefit of the OHO Search Engine?

OHO strategy 7.png

OHO Search Engine is the only multilingual search engine specialized in sustainable Open Hardware and Do it Yourself projects. The visitor can browse through the categories and can also search for results with specific properties (for example "has blueprints" or "is published under free licenses" etc.). Currently, the OHO Search Engine offers about 12,000 search results in more than 500 categories.
