Solar Distilled Water, Water Filtration System

SOLAR DISTILLED WATER FRESNEL LENS WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM CLEAN DRINKING WATER

These Water filtration systems offer an alternative to water damage cause by several causes. This solar distiller can creat water deliver of .5 GPH

There are a lot of websites that quote the same incorrect information regarding distilled water in soda and mineral leaching. If this were true, and it is not, would be leached and water with sugar, or artificial sweetener would become heavy. If you are concerned, add 10mg Na to each liter. Also, eating food with water, all minerals are mixed with fluid in the stomach converting distilled water into mineral water. Distilled water is not magic, if you add a splash of milk to tea made with distilled water, you now have 10x the calcium of regular mineral water.

Distilled water is very good for you. The only areas it may cause a problem is developing nations that have near famine conditions. For the rest of the world who usually ingest 15x the sodium recommended, distilled water leaches salt first. ONLY IF you are salt deprived (extremely rare) will distilled water leach excess potassium and or calcium.

You would need to drink about 2 gallons in 10 hours for there to be a problem.

If heavy sweating, water of any kind is only a thirst quencher or temporary fluid fix. Most people can afford 7 pounds of sweat (near gallon) replaced with only water before electrolytes become an issue. At that point, electrolytes are needed regardless of water type ingested. Mineral water has very small trace minerals and represents a small fraction of where K, Na, Ca is absorbed in the body. For you to get your average daily requirements of Ca and K from water alone, the water would taste terrible.

The Art of Making Biomass Briquettes



Uploaded by on Mar 25, 2009
Energy Links - Biomass Briquettes: Theres an art to making biomass briquettes, the low-cost environmentally friendly, cooking-fuel alternative to traditional charcoal and firewood. Here a Ugandan community member uses a mold and Mini-Bryant press to shape and drain the briquettes, one of the final steps of the process. Learn more about making briquettes at http://www.accion.org/Page.aspx?pid=1554.

This video was taken during an Energy Links pilot project in Uganda in March 2009. The Center for Financial Inclusion's (www.centerforfinancialinclusion.org) Energy Links project a new pilot program in Uganda aims to bring renewable energy to microfinance clients, contribute to reducing greenhouse-gas emissions and give MFIs a viable business-in-a-box.
