Solar Seawater Distiller Turns Salt Water into Drinking Water Using Only Sunlight

A genius yet very simple way to produce healthy, bacteria-free water.

Italian designer Gabriele Diamanti (@GabDiamanti) has invented Eliodomestico, an eco-distiller running on solar power, to provide safe drinking-water for people in developing countries: a very simple way to produce healthy, bacteria-free water. Eliodomestico is an open source project.

This ingenious distiller was the winner at Core77 Design Award 2012 – social impact category and finalist at the Prix Émile Hermès 2011 competition.

Watch the video posted below to see how it works.

I think this kind of small projects are easy to achieve for the beginning to help the communities living in the Bajuni islands. please share your ideas and comments about how to accomplish this kind of project. It will be interesting first to know exactly the needs of the people who live in those Islands.
