Desalinization & Electricity Generation (Low-cost and Solar-powered)

Posted Thu, 03/19/2009 - 15:36 by hswenholt

I have designed a low-cost solar-powered desalination device that also produces significant usable electricity. The device is intended for use in small communities and is designed to supply the water and electricity for 100 people. (2000 liters and 13,000 KW/hrs/day.

I have also designed a companion system for the desalinization device which is a novel means of distributing the water, electricity, waste, and communications. I have applied for US and international patent protection.

In combination with each other, I call these systems the VIVA System. The intent of the VIVA System is remarkably parallel to the Star-Tides focus for post-disaster relief and/or developing countries.

Solar Stik

Solar Stik is a company that makes portable solar energy generators and solar/wind hybrid generators.  In the portable power market, solar and wind has a profound impact on sustained power delivery because the most expensive cost in portable power is transport and storage of fuel.  Solar and wind have no support costs.  One of the benefits to Solar Stik's design is that their versatile systems can power diverse power needs, and are not narrowly designed for specific technologies.  They are easily transportable and can be folded down into boxes that can be checked on an airplane.  These benefits provide the ability to deliver power to remote locations or regions where transportation pathways are compromised.
