3rd world product development?

1 points by mlxer 15y ago ↗ HN

Is there anyone here working with 3rd world product development? Energy, water, simple mechanical devices, other basic needs?

I want to get into it but I'm not sure what to study, Elec. eng., mech. eng., etc.

Yes, I know someone who is working on an energy (renewables) idea. I think that may be one of the most interesting areas to look at.

But I'm thinking on something small scale, not that needs serious $$$$.

Take a look at waste energy. That doesn't require anything like the startup costs that solar/wind/water requires.
