We're high school seniors taking a college course thru our school.

Thanks for the very productive input so far.

We have been considering using a RO system from the start of the project. You don't have to worry about cost as we currently have a $300 budget. We...

Clarification: We are attempting to design a small, affordable, man-power unit with good water output for desalinating water

Hi
We are Seniors in the Project Lead the Way program, working in an engineering design and development class doing research for the problem we are trying to solve. We joined so we can post...

We're students in an Engineering Design & Development Class. We are trying to make it so people have a method of desalinating and purifying water in emergencies, camp sites, and other situations. ...
