Dr. Curt Elmore and some graduate students (Will Granich, Matt Vitello and Andrea Orlando) are testing a wind and solar power device near Missouri S&T's Stone Henge. Ultimately, they hope to take the tripod to Guatemala, where it will be used to power a groundwater well. This is part of an international effort to tackle water quality issues in Guatemala.
Also, Elmore and colleagues (including Dr. Mariesa Crow) are working on an emergency drinking water system that will be powered by wind and solar energy. This research effort was mentioned in an editorial by Chancellor Carney that appeared recently in the Springfield News-Leader.
