This is about how an appropriate technology (a through-flow solar thermal water pasteuriser) might potentially deliver massive health (and other) benefits by using renewable energy. If correctly designed and well deployed, indeed, deployed virally, it could save many thousands of lives a year. It is a "solar thermal water pasteuriser" which is made locally at low cost.
- Solar: powered by the sun, at zero operating cost.
- Thermal: uses solar heat, not electricity or ultraviolet.
- Pasteurises water: killing pathogens, making water safe to drink.
- Made Locally: with minimal required skills or materials barriers.
- Low Cost: has minimal cost barrier to deployment.
- Saves lives: by preventing waterborne diseases such as diarrhoea.
Non-viral deployment does not self replicate sustainably: where each installation is successful but they are not copied, where there are 10 successful installations but only 9 are copied.
Viral deployment self replicates sustainably: where 10 installations succeed and generate 11 or more successful copies. In viral circumstances, the seeded projects succeeds to grows without much further input: huge numbers of lives may be saved. Water safety and sanitation are essential to life!
