Over on the site BigCarrot, I've proposed an inducement prize to spur the development of an affordable, easy-to-install greywater recycling unit. (http://www.bigcarrot.com/prizes/zqthezjqm) However, I don't know enough about the specifics of such a device in order to define the requirements it must meet. I would really appreciate it if this group would help me draft the rules or recommend someone I could contact who might be willing to assist me.
If you're unfamiliar with inducement prizes or how they work, you might've heard of the Ansari X Prize, the $10 million prize offered to the first group to create a commercial spaceship. I think that if the the environmental activist community helps chip in, we can create a prize valuable enough to attract the industry's attention.
