Dan, Jake, and Laura
As hard as we may try, it will take some tweating with this one. However showing small signs of progress froma ll angles suggests that tightening all the small experiements to create a large one will actually be better to incorporate a variety of alternative energy sources. The experiment is as follows: How do you get Solar Energy to become purified water. It's a bold one. But shopping around 'Axeman' gave Jake, Dan and Myself the inspiration of many alternative sources.
First we already know a couple different ways that definitely work to purify water. The hankerchief one seemed to work best. Now to get solar energy to purify the water for us could be a great combination of our discovered sources. We decided that the best way to make the initial connection between the 2 power sources would be to use the easiest of the old and go from there. We know that boiling water turns it into steam, and allows the water to purify via heat. We also know that if you hook up solar power to either a generator or rechargable batteries, that it generates electrical power.
By revamping rechargable batteries with the solar panels, the small amount of energy has a chance to store, and then be used for a larger solution. The batteries are then attached to a conductor-wrapped heat plate. We found this to work on a beyond pathetic scale. This is due to everything from the wire-connecting job, to the ill-proportioned scale of devices. But the possibilities are endless from a power source that's well-built and scaled to fit the project. In theory the batteries heat the plate which on a large scale, could become an ongoing, powerful heat source. This makes the boiling experiment possible.
