RE: A clean water machine powered by the sun
I read that a solar powered sterling engine running a generator is
more efficient than solar cells. If you are running a solar powered
generator you can power anything.

RE: A clean water machine powered by the sun
Cost? Availability? Service Life?
Answer these and you will discover your real market. If there is a significnant demand, production volume will minimze price. Probably the filters are the weak link and a source of dirty but potable water. Often, what is lacking is a clean plastic closeable jug to store rainwater or filtered water. Several thousand of those will also be needed at each pump. Better get two C-130s.

RE: A clean water machine powered by the sun
a similar device has been on the market and available in Australia
for over 3 years

MIT seems very very similar (patent law!?!?)

@garybau
I don't see how you can even compare the two and bring up patent law. The Australian unit is an evaporator and the MIT unit is a reverse osmosis filter. Actually neither of these technologies is really patentable since they both basically use technology that has been available off the shelf for years. All they have done is integrate it in a mobile manner.
