Developing Solar Water Pumping Technologies

-----Original Message----- From: John Levi [mailto:jfslevi@gmail.com] Sent: 23 August 2015 14:02 To: Enquiries Subject: solar pumps,

Dear Sirs,

I am enquiring about who I might contact with reference to research on solar-powered water pumps.

I am a retired Economics lecturer (Queen’s University Belfast; formerly, Oxford University Agricultural Economics Institute. Book, 1982 on Economics of African Agriculture, and one on Sierra Leone agriculture.)

Some time ago, I thought of a device for solar-powered pumping, and though I consulted engineers and others, I never had the technical wherewithal to pursue it. Essentially the idea is to harness solar energy to do work, but mechanically, rather than through photovoltaic cells, etc.

Could you supply me with names of people who would be in a position to consider its merits, and perhaps take it forward.

Yours faithfully,

John Levi
