</div>
<div>Dave produced a phenomenal body of photographs and collaged notebooks chronicling street art, the skateboard scene, tagging, The Mission School and his friends hanging and partying with a joy and panache only a sweet soul like Dave could capture with that beaming smile and twinkle in his eyes that could charm the most hardened street ruffian. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>History</em> we know is told by those that write the books, who take the pictures, who were there. Dave was that type of artist. Always observing, ready at an instance to capture the most magic of moments… But being a great photographer takes more than shooting. It's nurturing and caring for those images, interpreting them, reconfiguring them, making prints, zines, books, shows, and creating art from them. This is a lifelong journey. Sadly his journey was cut short. <em>This body of work is way too important to let languish, we need to care for it, make exhibitions and books with it, and have it live in the world.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We will keep Dave's work and spirit alive by preserving his lifelong quest to document the weird, beautiful subcultures from Washington D.C. to NYC to S.F. Wherever he landed with that camera around his neck and that smile on his face. We hope for future generations to marvel at all of these beautiful brilliant souls Dave knew and so lovingly photographed. Thank you Dave for being you and brightening our lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>The funds needed are to clean out his former home, studio, and storage unit pay past bills, and save and preserve his archive AND we are excited to co-host a memorial show and Celebration of Dave's life at the infamous Luggage Store Gallery in San Francisco in 2023.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ben Mansell will be in charge of managing the funds needed to clean out his former home, studio, storage unit, pay past bills, save and preserve his archive and memorial.
</div>

<div>From a recent New York Times article:
</div>
<div>"Schubert’s work was locating beauty where it would otherwise go unnoticed. Beginning in the 1990s he documented the skaters in and around Washington, D.C., where he grew up, and later, while living in San Francisco, the grimy hedonism of that city’s Mission District and Tenderloin neighborhoods. He shot graffiti writers and artists, people living on the street and the Beat poets left behind by their waning acid-soaked bohemia, capturing them with the glittering naturalism of a Weegee shot or the grainy humanism of a Robert Frank. His pictures evince a mutual respect between subject and archivist because he was one of them. (For the most part. Others took exception to the presence of his camera, which he memorialized too, in a recurring series of bloodied self-portraits.)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Schubert died at 49 this year. We have an exhibit of collages of freight train burners, black-and-white near-abstractions, peeled-off snapshots of friends and associates hanging out, tagging box trucks, or ingesting drugs. Not everything is artful, but neither is everything in life, and Schubert didn’t elide reality to create something prettier. As in his portrait of a small boy, his right eye swollen shut, cradling a kitten, Schubert’s ability was to present the gruesome and the tender, often within the same frame."

Dave Schubert's Photographic Legacy

<div>2024 has been a year of advances for BlueDesal and our Wave Powered Desalinator. Most notable is our development of mechanisms to synchronize our device with wind driven waves. While we have come a long way from last year there is even more to do at each turn. Wave powered desalination is one of the necessary components for combating climate change and water scarcity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through the support of our US Trade.gov representative we have been introduced to organizations worldwide who not only want our devices but are looking to support our growth once we have a fully operational pilot. This year we were also fortunate to receive support from the. California State Trade Expansion (STEP) program. This program allowed us to participate in the US CLEAN Edge Trade Mission to India. In addition, we are supported by our corporate and IP lawyers, Goodwin Law, without whom we would not be here at all.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nonetheless this year, we still need your help to pay for corporate government fees, state of the art software and equipment for a full sized working desalinator; not to mention some of our pro-bono consultants and advisors would love to help more but need some financial support. In this season of giving, please help us help others obtain reliable, sustainable freshwater in 2025. Thank-you!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our patent was granted this year, and we expect that investors will take more interest soon. Please donate if you can.

<div>The United States and the world face profound energy, security and climate crises. The federal government is the world’s largest user of energy and the nation’s largest landlord, overseeing tens of thousands of buildings, making its critical mission uniquely vulnerable to extreme weather, cybersecurity attacks, and energy supply chain disruptions.

</div>
<div>Hello, my name is Joe Tate and I’m a retired electrical engineer and inventor. My newest invention is a wave powered pump for seawater desalination, the goal of which is to cheaply purify water for human consumption and agriculture.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Many have suggested building desalination plants, to purify the boundless seawater of our oceans. However, critics have pointed out the enormous power requirements, and fossil fuel dependency of these systems. The expense of operating these plants would make the water too costly, to supply the numerous and myriad users.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Modern desalination works by bringing seawater to a high pressure and forcing it thought a Reverse Osmosis filter. The RO filter will allow water molecules through but not the salt molecules. It takes about 8 Kilowatt hours of energy to make one gallon of water.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>At 15 cents per kilowatt hour, each gallon of water costs about $1.20 just for the energy. California users now pay about 0.3 cents per gallon for delivered water, so you can see why fuel driven desalination isn’t practical. The energy costs are just too high.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>By looking at the problem a different way, we may be able to overcome the aforementioned objections in a simple sustainable way.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>If we look at an ocean shoreline, we observe large, energetic waves crashing on the shore. These waves, which might be thought of as concentrated wind energy, embody enormous power, power that can be harnessed to purify water.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>All the needed energy, for desalination, can be supplied by waves right at the point of fresh water extraction. By absorbing the energy from the ocean waves, dependence on fuel or electricity is eliminated.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>This energy can be extracted using a cleverly designed pump, which will bring the seawater up to the pressure required for desalination, about 800 PSI.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>The pump is designed to operate with small or large waves. This is accomplished using a uniquely designed Variable Leverage Pump (VLP).
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Looking at this model of the VLP, we see an actuator float, a reciprocating pump and a lever arm which pushes the pump’s piston rod, all mounted on a floatable/sinkable platform, consisting of two cylindrical vessels. The lever arm, empowered by the actuator float, moves thru an arc of about 160˚, moving 80˚ in either direction from top dead center.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>The fulcrums of the lever arm and pump are offset vertically, and this is what creates the variable leverage feature. Here is the fulcrum of the lever arm. Here is the fulcrum of the pump. The greater this offset, the greater the leverage change, for a given arc of motion. The offset on my 1/24 scale model here is 1”. The lever arm is 7”, for a minimum leverage of 7/1. This minimum leverage is when the lever arm is at maximum extension.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>At top dead center, the force arm has maximum leverage, but with little movement of the piston rod. As it moves away from center, in either direction, the leverage is progressively reduced. Thus, small waves are able to power the pump, but at low water volume. Bigger waves will pump more volume as the actuator pushes the force arm farther and farther away from center. In general, as the actuator float moves, the force arm moves the piston rod of the pump.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Thus, the changing leverage regulates the sweep of the force arm and stops the movement, when the mechanical advantage is exceeded by pump resistance.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Here are some test videos of the model in a bathtub and also in seashore settings using natural waves. In the bathtub, a paddle is used to create waves which activate the pump in various ways. The boat section shaped actuator float seems to deliver the most action, followed by the ball float and lastly by the paddle float, which only worked well in breaking waves.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>The concept of using wave power to desalinate water is not new. In 1978, CM Pleass, at the University of Delaware, described a method of doing it with a simple float, anchor and pump, called the Delbuoy system. In the delbuoy system, a pump and float are tethered to an anchor on the seafloor. When the float moves up and down with the waves, the pump is actuated.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Later in the 1980s, experiments were conducted to prove the concept. Unfortunately, it yielded little fresh water, being limited to the fixed force of the spherical float.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>In my VLP system, this limitation is overcome because the force is always sufficient to actuate the pump because the leverage adjusts in accordance with wave amplitude. The shape of the actuator also reacts powerfully to the slope of the waves.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Other features of VLP system include a floatable/sinkable platform. When in operation, this rests on the seafloor while the actuator floats on the surface. When compressed air is blown in, water is ejected and the platform floats to the surface. This feature makes it simple to move the VLP to other locations.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>The VLP will also be fitted with bladder accumulators to regulate the pressure within the system. There will also be pressure relief valves in case of over pressure.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>It makes sense, also, to locate the RO filter ashore where it can be serviced.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Thank for watching this video. It is my aim to develop an inexpensive method for purifying seawater for human and agricultural uses. I plan to build a small working model of the apparatus that will use a small hand operated desalinator, powered by the VLP. If you want to help in developing this vital technology, please donate to this fund raiser or to Venmo at Joe-Tate-18
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Thank you once again for your interest in this technology that might help fight climate change.
