Hi Everyone,We have some exciting news on the Jompy water boiler we have been chosen as one of the 23 finalists of the Siemens Empowering people award. we would love if you could take a few minutes of your time and vote for the Jompy on the link below (you have to choose 3 projects to vote )
http://www.empowering-people-award.siemens-stiftung.org/en/shortlist/projects/jompy-water-boiler/
The “empowering people. Award – Technologies for basic needs” was launched to identify and to showcase appropriate technical solutions for the development context worldwide.  The Award
Technologies that make development more sustainable are available today - the challenge lies in deploying them in the right way. Part of the problem is often a lack of resources and knowledge, which makes it more difficult to identify the adequate solution for a specific problem.Here the “empowering people. Award” plays a key role. The Award called upon developers worldwide to enter efficient technical solutions, which tackle key challenges in the basic supply in developing countries. The call was aimed at innovations in the categories Water & Waste Water, Energy, Waste Management & Recycling, Healthcare, Food & Agriculture, Housing & Construction, and Information & Communication Technology. When the virtual entry portal of the competition closed on January 31st 2013, over 800 entries could be counted from over 90 countries around the globe. These were examined, evaluated and shortlisted  by specialists on technology and development work. An international expert jury awarded prize money worth 50,000, 30,000 and 20,000 Euro, in order to foster the further development of their solutions and/or the implementation of their projects. Twenty projects will receive a smaller amount of 5,000 Euro each. Community Voting
As the “empowering people. Award” is about creating a community with an interest in technical solutions in the area of development cooperation, everybody has a say in the winners’ selection. By participating in the Community Voting, the public can additionally select its own favourite candidate amongst the 23 finalists. The winner of this special Community Prize can select a prize from different communications hardware opions such as a computer, a video-camera or a smartphone, according to his/her project needs (value up to 3,000 Euro

> How about a filter holder designed for vacuum filtration where a white filter paper is placed on the holder and a vacuum is applied at a known air flow rate through the filter. Snap shots taken during the run and the final weight per total unit air volume calculated at the end. Perhaps plotted real time with snapshots taken every few seconds. That will keep someone busy.
