This can be used in arid coastal regions all over the world to produce potable drinking water for those in need.
Solar stills water purification.
A solar still distills water using energy from the sun.
Like the natural hydrological cycle the sun drives the process of purification.

They are used in areas where drinking water is unavailable so that clean water is obtained from dirty water or from plants by exposing them to sunlight.
In areas where clean water isn t easily accessible solar stills can help purify available water that might be dirty or salty.
With just a few basic building materials a sheet of glass.
Make your own distilled water from stream or lake water salt water or even brackish dirty water using these diy solar still plans.
When the water vapor hits the glass it condenses on it running down the glass to a catch tube.
Heat the water and the process speeds up.
These devices absorb heat from sunlight and use it to evaporate water.
To make a solar still of this type you ll need to make a box out of plywood.
The design is simple and elegant while still providing a powerful practical application.
The sun evaporates dirty water which is then cooled and collected in pure form.
Tear open pack for emergencies.
You could also use it for your own off grid homestead as well.

Water purification from solar energy no power required.
Sunlight enters the box and heats the water promoting evaporation.
Directions to make the solar still.
A solar still distills water with substances dissolved in it by using the heat of the sun to evaporate water so that it may be cooled and collected thereby purifying it.
The reverse osmosis system consists of two photovoltaic solar panels that power a set of pumps that push both brackish well water and collected rain water through semiporous membranes that filter.
A pan of water is placed inside and the device is placed in the sun.
