Portable Solar Water Distiller

Solar stills are geniuses who can get where scarce fresh water is abundant, but mixed with other substances that make it unusable. In essence it comes to playing small-scale and accelerated the natural water cycle.

The low-temperature solar distillation is an extremely simple, efficient and easily accessible for all types of companies. Applied mass could prevent a number of diseases in poor countries in water consumption product in poor condition.

The portable solar still allows drinking water in cases of survival from sea water, wastewater or human urine distilling itself.

The goal is to have a solar still small in size, inexpensive and environmentally friendly for distribution in poor countries, in order to obtain free drinking water for individual consumption.

The operating principle is as follows:

1. Place dirty or salty water from the central container and glass outer container.

2. Dirty or salty water is heated and begins to evaporate through the action of sunlight passing through glass and are concentrated in the central container of black (black color intensifies the action of sunlight).

3. The steam flows through a micro hole spacing of a special menbrana. These hole spacing are large enough to pass water vapor but not water particles.

4. Water vapor condenses on the ceramic top piece and will drop at warehouses in the central contenedtor has insulated walls with AEROGEL to the outdoor temperature does not affect the interior of the container. (Isolated material AEROGEL is a lightweight and efficient composed of 90% to 99.8% air).

5. Once you have completed the process by removing the cap blue water you can drink like a normal bottle.
