What quantity do you have in mind as "Large Quantity"? A few years ago, I had a friend in the business of building Solar Panels. One of the engineers there turned down a trailer load of blemished solar panels. Most products that are blemished are still very good. Once a battery manufacturer had a lot of blemished clear case batteries. They were blemished because the clear cases were cleaned improperly. They were not clear in places. Seems some kind of acid was used to clean them and this produced streaks and spots. I was able to buy them for the price of scrap lead. I tested all that I purchased and every single one was the most uniform batteries I have ever seen. While they made batteries for other companies with other labels, these were being manufactured for their own label. I sold one lot to a Fire Station, explaining the situation and giving them a full warranty. I never had a problem with a single battery. Back to the solar panels, I did get a few free blemished panels. One has been over in my field for a few years, still connected to a battery. Guess it would be interesting to see if it is still working. I was powering a long range photo beam which I had connected into a computer to data log deer movement. Interesting and fun for sure. Are you saying this Survival Still / Generator will be in a remote location where no power is available? The still would have a sizable power requirement, unless the Solar Still principle was used. I have a still I have never put into use that states it will deliver 3 gallons per hour. Current draw is 16 amps at 240 volts. It does need circulating water in the water jacket. It is 50 years old. Brass and Copper lasts a long time. I am sure I could find many heating elements that would work, in case that one does not. Since I got if free, I did not inspect it too closely. > A well made integrated device selling for under 500 bucks might > find a solid market. Still curious how you will power it? Commercial Power? If so, that simplifies many problems. Wayne -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
