Sdprep — Sat, 19 May 2012 04:39:43 +0000

Aquaponics advocates Friendly Aquaponics havejust proposed what may be an entirely new concept—"gatorponics"—and they believe that this system of farming alligators for meat, and then using their poop to feed hydroponic vegetable beds, could be the savior of many now-defunct chicken farms in the southern United States: commentary: Okay.

Pyramid Desalinator: Long Term Solution or Last Resort?

Sdprep — Thu, 17 May 2012 05:34:23 +0000

Al you need to do is pour in some salt water and let the sun do its job. With the process of evaporation and subsequent condensation on the plastic pyramid lid, you get fresh water that is fit for drinking. This also helps in purification of water to an extent and with both seawater and sunshine available in abundance in regions like Africa and South East Asia; the unit seems like a perfect fit. The aim currently is to produce a gallon of water a day and design units that will cost less than $20 in manufacturing. Surely an idea that could save many lives... commentary: Take a read. Do you want to rely on this in a life or death situation or should this be a last resort? Test it folks. Test it.
