In reading a brief article about the Slingshot water purifier, it would appear that he is also providing a Sterling engine that burns "anything" to produce 1 kilowatt. Can this be improved by adding solar energy as a further catalyst to the Sterling engine? Are there any references that better explain how the Slingshot or his Sterling engine actually work?
I agree that clean water is the first step to helping impoverished people - but I'd prefer to see how a whole project plan can be used to transform poor communities into strong communities where people have a chance to live without fear of starving or dieing from disease. I believe there are a myriad of solutions and I'd like to know of comparable tools that could enable the poverty stricken.
