focus on this list although some of the diversions are quite educational
In the end, what binds us all together is our desire for the common
comforts of life, the very things that these victims in Asia are lacking.
We can talk about it or we can atempt to do something real about it. Pass
this info to those who might be able to build these for victims.
Those needs in order of priority are:
Clean Water,
Food,
Shelter,
Warmth, etc...
Here is a simple water purification device that can be made from black
plastic, glass and some wood to take pond water and distill it into
drinkable water. These system are commercially available or we can sponsor
sending the plans and getting local material from salvage to make these
systems. Here is a plan if any one interested or can pass this along to
victims somehow.

Logistcally it would be hard to do anything else except donate money.
Here is website on some commercial companies making these and others, wonder
if they are doing anything for these victims?

OPERATION
Solar energy is allowed into the collector to heat the water. The water
evaporates only to condense on the underside of the glass. When water
evaporates, only the water vapor rises, leaving contaminants behind. The
gentle slope of the glass directs the condensate to a collection trough,
which in turn delivers the water to the collection bottle.

Subject: Re: [Biofuel] Greeting to all
To all beloved list members
This year has passed with terrific tusame and Asiatic earth quack.
This biofuel list is an valuable forum bringing together the south ,
north , east and west , the young newcomer as well as the experienced
people.
In this new year I visited the poor people house in the
Northeast part of Brasil.
Even though electric power is available, as they do not have money to
pay , the poor people here are successful in using 50 percent
kerosene and 50 percent diesel as cheap fuel using age old Lamperine
lamp as an aternative to electrical one as money for food has more
value than for fuel..In future surely we biofuel members can
contribute to solve the rural energy crisis A special thanks and
admiration for the dedicated work of our list leader Keith,beloved
kind leader leader of all of us , to make our list as uniquely
balanced international forum to provide useful solution to rural
energy crisis.Surely 2005 or list can do better tthan 2004 , if all
of us can spent some time to our group and giving the heping hand.
I wish a happy 2005 and look forward exchange of information not only
biofuel for rural region , but also our list members projects for
ruralization of urban areas, of curse certainly with the useful
ecologically sound biofuel projects
