File:Parabolic Stadium Light Reflector Wash Basin And Water Heater.jpg

Salvaged stadium light reflectors are able to function as water heater/pasteurizer, 10 gallon wash basin, and pedestal. The wooden platform was made by reconfiguring a discarded futon frame salvaged from a scrap wood pile. The floating aluminum bowl is used to pour water over ones self when rinsing off soap suds. Bathing in this fashion is quite pleasant as opposed to using buckets. The wash tub can also be used for washing clothes by hand. The stadium light reflector can heat one gallon of water in a black container to 160 degrees f in 3 hours on a warm sunny day. Several can be used at one time to heat a sufficient volume of water for bathing. The hot water is mixed with cold water in the wash basin to make it the perfect temperature for bathing outdoors, depending on the air temperature; if the bathing water is warm enough one can bathe comfortably even if it's near freezing cold outside, by frequently pouring water hot (~ 104 degree f)over ones self using the floating aluminum bowl. The stadium light reflectors stack concentrically as nested bowls (para-bowl-oids) for storage or air-lifting to refugees fleeing a war, ethnic cleansing or natural disaster.
