Solar water distiller


Here is an amazingly useful open source device able to extract up to 5 liter of water a day from seawater: it's a solar water distiller. It works using the energy of the Sun, that makes evaporate the salty water and then condense it in the lower vessel. 

Trasformare acqua marina in acqua potabile
It's called the Eliodomestico, designed by the italian researcher Gabriele DiamantiIt's available to all the developing countries through NGOs and vocational training centers.


I wonder if it would work also on regularly *questionable* tap water (like in Thailand for instance) making it more *drinkable*. By all means full thumbs up for this young designer!

    1. yeah! cheers... I am glad we're sharing this interest: indeed it's an extraordinarily important topic. surely enough I will update as soon as possible with another design using a different principle (morning dew) and a wider "vessel"... a whole landscape ;)

  4. Water quality is also questionable in the USA (remember Flint, Michigan?). Can this be purchased in the United States?

    1. I cannot help you on this... but most likely if you have understood the idea, it CAN BE replicated with other items that you can find in your local hardware store... or even in a thrift shop or garage sale. All the best and blessings for your water shed...
