Dear Friends and Supporters, we are halfway through 2018 and we want to provide an update on the activities related to the working prototypes development that we started at the beginning of the year.
The
collaboration project with MARENCO Swiss Engineering AG, which started at the end of January, successfully completed the Work-Package 1 in which the overall layout, size and wiring diagram of the machine were defined. We therefore started the Work-Package 2, which is one of the most complex as it defines the technical specifications for the purchase of components. In parallel, we made the first prototype of the thermal insulation and assembled the first sample of the heat exchanger. We are facing the multiple technical challenges with dedication and enthusiasm, also thanks to the warm encouragement we receive from our supporters.
The
Donations Campaign launched at Christmas allowed us to collect the initial working capital funds needed for the purchase of components. As the issuance of purchase orders is approaching, we have decided to pursue with this Campaign. We therefore count on your valuable support in terms of donations (from those who have not already done so) and in making friends and associations interested in financing a prototype aware of the project.
Precisely because the activities related to engineering, purchasing and fundraising are rapidly increasing, we are also expanding the REN4WATER Team with the addition of new project collaborators!
More information on this to come soon, and if anyone is interested in participating, we look forward to hearing from you at
impact@ren4water.org
