Poland, Live Grid
The Polish power system as a miniature. Power plants smoke according to real output, wind turbines spin with the wind, and imports and exports flow across the borders.
Tiny worlds built from real data.
Live 3D miniatures built on public data. Three so far: the power grids of Poland and Europe, and every earthquake on the planet.

Europe, Live Grid
More than thirty European power systems on one planet. Each country's transmission lines glow in the colours of what it is generating, power flows across the borders, and the largest plants rise with their output.
Principles
How the miniatures are made
- 01
Every number has a source
The data comes from public registers, and every miniature links to its source. The methodology says what is measured and what is simplified.
- 02
The data is current
The miniatures read data straight from the source. The live grid refreshes every 15 minutes, so every day it shows a different day.
- 03
One dial
Each miniature has one main axis, usually time. Move it and watch the whole system change.

Your data as a miniature
If you have data that people would understand better as a live map, write to me. I build these end to end: the data pipeline, the API proxy, the 3D scene and the hosting.
