Teacher Deaton from Iowa Park TX is requesting technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Harnessing Wind and Solar Power for Desalination of Salt Water.

My students need these kits so they can experiment with different wind/solar arrays to provide renewable energy for our saltwater desalination research.

My Students

The students are special to me because they will help with the distillation of water. Which is taking the salt out of water and making the water fresh. The students need fresh, new, clean supplies to make this project succeed.

The school is a 4A school in a small town in north Texas in Wichita county.

The students are seniors in High School and they need money to get the proper materials to do their project. There are some students that work on the financial stuff and the others try to make the water distillate.

We are in our second phase of our research, and we find ourselves in need of a solar panel array and a wind power source to used as power complement our work with solar distillation.

My Project

These kits along with a full solar panel array and it's complementary power/control connections, will allow us to further our research into desalination and complete a full working model. We are also in need of a working 1Kw solar panel array in which to bolster our electrical output. Unfortunately I have been able to find affordable/suitable system. Any help or guidance in this area would be utilized and greatly appreciated. We are committed to making our world a better, cleaner, more sustainable place in which to live. We as a class feel it is our duty to look for answers instead of griping about the current state of our planet.
