Good work guys. Now all you have top do is make it track the sun on its own (think satellite dish motor with custom programming) and make it produce enough steam to power the pump as well as have steam output left over for a number of other uses, ie: steam turbine to generate electricity or a source of household heating. Could be a great asset to people that want to live off the grid, etc.
