The Essential Element [HYDRA]

The "Essential Element" was a company formed to develop a mobile water purification system that could be rapidly deployed in any environment. Two working prototypes of the trailer-mounted water purification system were created to demonstrate the technology. This product-in-development was called the "HYDRA." The HYDRA was powered by solar energy using PV cells configured with hydrogen generation and storage linked with a battery bank. Water purification was accomplished by a filtering system served by pumps. The trailer could be shipped by container and delivered to remote locations where it could be made permanently operational within hours.

Rob advised The Essential Element and arranged for publicity, demonstrations, and promotion of the HYDRA concept.
