SDRNews ($20.00)The Watercone® project is looking for investors and companies to initiate mass production tooling and distribution. So the Watercone can be manufactured for a lower price and become affordable to the people in need.
The Watercone® is a solar powered water desalinator that takes salt or brackish water and generates freshwater. It is simple to use, lightweight and mobile. The technology is simple in design and use and is discribed by simple pictograms. With max. 1,6 liters a day the Watercone® is an ideal device to cover a childs daily need of freshwater.

This bounty will be paid to the first producer who will provides and demonstrates acceptable tooling for the polycarbonate resin capable of producing at least 10,000 Watercone units without degrading yield or performance in the production process.
Tooling...
Kristian, I think the point is to get the cost down for mass-production. The big first step is to get molds made (tooling) so that plastic copies can be turned out fast and cheaply.(Log in or register to comment.)
Question
What exactly is this bounty going towards? I love the idea of getting kids clean water in poor countries, but I don't really understand what you asking for.
