Solar Stills Water Purification

When the water vapor hits the glass it condenses on it running down the glass to a catch tube.

Solar stills water purification. The sun evaporates dirty water which is then cooled and collected in pure form. A solar still is an artificial water purifier that imitates the natural mechanism used by nature to purify water. Sunlight enters the box and heats the water promoting evaporation. Water purification from solar energy no power required.

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. A pan of water is placed inside and the device is placed in the sun. In areas where clean water isn t easily accessible solar stills can help purify available water that might be dirty or salty.

Make your own distilled water from stream or lake water salt water or even brackish dirty water using these diy solar still plans. Like the natural hydrological cycle the sun drives the process of purification.

In a solar still seawater dirty water or even green leaves are set inside a transparent plastic container which can be as simple as a polythene bag.

This can be used in arid coastal regions all over the world to produce potable drinking water for those in need. Directions to make the solar still. These devices absorb heat from sunlight and use it to evaporate water. 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.

The design is simple and elegant while still providing a powerful practical application. Tear open pack for emergencies. Heat the water and the process speeds up. To make a solar still of this type you ll need to make a box out of plywood.
