Development of Inexpensive Solar Water Heater
Project Description
Developing a solar water heater that can use solar energy to heat enough water (~10 liters or 3 gallons) for a warm shower. Getting access to hot water in underdeveloped areas is a prominent challenge, and the potential of implementing net-zero heating solutions is very high. Current methods of heating water include burning wood or dry mass, and this is a solution that contributes to a lot of emissions. It is often the women and children in these areas who source solid fuel in the forests, and there are attributed risks associated with it.
This proposal directly funds:
1. Reflective Mylar Film
2. Insulation, Parabolic Structures
3. Black paint, Basic Fabrication Materials (Scissors, Glue, Tape, etc.)
4. Solar Concentrators/Lens/Magnifiers
