Electric desalination

[owene]

How does a 3m2 panel fit on a 1m long boat? And how short is he.... the vision of a short man laying down on a 1m long boat leaves me in tears. Mtumut - why don't you build the boat out of clay bricks and leave a hole in the bottom to allow for the fresh seawater to flow in easily?

The best advice he ever received (mine included)...............

you guys are mistaken, the boat is 1 meter wide and 1/2 meter long

He is leaving from Istambul to the South Atlantic, rounding the Horn in a one meter boat which has enough electrical power to run an electolisis machine. I guess he must also be cursed and the sun doesn't shine on him. This is stupid. There is no sun to run a still but the solar panels charge????

Well the inlet hole for the desalinator should therefore be 1m long by 1/2m wide. The solar panel could be used to cover the hole at nighttime and being immersed in saline would be able to cool down. Good luck mazammutt.
