Rolf is the author of the book Rolfs Maakbare Wereld. According to Hut, you can create the best technology and mechanics yourself using items you have at home. In his book, he shows how to make life at home easier and, above all, more enjoyable. Why not build a system that automatically waters your plants? Control your lamp from the internet, install an alarm system with mentos and cola light, or use rainwater to flush your toilet—Hut makes it all seem effortless. With household items, he tapes technology together. Let yourself be challenged by Rolfs Maakbare Wereld and discover that technology is everywhere, for everyone.
