The Power Organizing Module is a prefabricated system provided by Earthship Biotecture that is simply attached to a wall on the interior of the Earthship and wired in a conventional manner.
Reynolds calls this practice "Earthship Biotecture". He cites as an epiphany the moment he realized that any object could be utilized—an old tire could become a powerful and durable thermal mass when it was filled with soil, or a pop bottle could be used for insulation. The packed soil stores and releases heat from the earth and sun.
==Types== Since its start-up, Earthship Biotecture has been building and inventing new types of earthships, so that at present, 3 types can be distingueshed (all of which can be still bought today). ===Packaged Earthship=== The most versatile and economical Earthship in terms of construction and building is the packaged earthship.

Earthship Brighton is a self-sustainable building, completed in 2006 [1] and owned by the non-profit Low Carbon Trust, situated in Stanmer Park, Brighton, England. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The building is an example of passive solar earth-sheltered design and was constructed using waste car tyres and other recycled materials such as cans and bottles.
The IBTS (“Integrated Biotectural System") greenhouse is a biotectural, urban development project suited for hot arid deserts. [1] [2] It was part of the Egyptian strategy for the afforestation of desert lands from 2011 until spring of 2015, when geopolitical changes like the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant – Sinai Province in Egypt forced the project to a halt.
