RevClyffe: Tree Tower
RevClyffe is a vertical field node built atop a wind-scarred pine tree. Years ago, the top third was sheared off by a storm, leaving a powerful and sturdy base for experimentation.
Now reborn as a modular tower, RevClyffe channels connectivity, observation, and resilience into a living machine—rooted in earth and reaching toward orbit.
Its most essential feature: a Starlink Array, delivering high-speed internet to the lab and powering remote autonomy.
This section documents everything to do with the tower—its structure, build, design, development, and operation.
