How We Work
Our Services
Harnessing 15 years of renewable energy, mechanical and design engineering and programming experience across three continents, Kinetic offer energy and manufacturing solutions. We do:
- feasibility studies
- project planning
- solution design, including prototyping on 3D printers and fabrication with our CNC and plasma cutter
- project implementation, including some in-country manufacturing of technical equipment to avoid unnecessary import
- educational training for product users and service technicians
- operations covering the maintenance and servicing of developed mechanised solutions
Our Philosophy
We are friendly, nurturing and professional.
We’re experts that stand for quality and consistency.
We offer choice and learning and we deliver new possibilities.
We collaborate to create the best, most context appropriate solutions.
We're Kinetic and where there’s movement, we’re unstoppable.

We support unique conservation missions, whether it be creating blood test centrifuges for field work or giving a pangolin back a 3D printed replica scale to get back to the wild.
WHO WE ARE
Technical Director
If he's not building electric bikes or EVs, 3D printing or constructing furniture, you'll find Liam running Kinetic's technical processing developments and workshop.
Liam is an expert in sustainable energy solutions and production design. For a decade he has designed and run technical engineering projects from home use products and systems, through to those on a government, commercial and industrial scale. He has led both low cost and multi-million dollar initiatives incorporating technical engineering design, business case development and financing. Some specific experience includes:
- Evaluation and optimisation of manufacturing plants in pharmaceutical and food and beverage industries
- Developing operation and maintenance strategies for power generation equipment including diesel, natural gas and biogas
- Design/prototype programming of remote equipment monitoring
- Mechanical and process system design and optimisation of various types of biomass and biogas energy systems including boilers, gasification plants and solid handling systems.
Workshopper
From handy man to metal worker,
Chancy has been with us for a few years
and gets his hands (and uniform) dirty
across all our projects.
When he's not busy grinding or procuring materials,
or being a dad to his newborn son,
he takes the skills learnt in our workshop
for his side hustles to build cabinets and fix up houses.
Workshop Assistant
Originally hailing from Dedza,
our newest recruit Paul is not just new to the workshop
but new to the tools too.
Security Guard and Farmer, turned Carpenter,
Paul's enthusiasm is matched by his
attention to detail, living by the adage
measure twice and cut once.
Paul is currently busy helping us to construct benches
and fold steel part of our brewery equipment
and biomass gasifier cook stove projects.
