Portable Solar Desalination 'Plant' That May Aid In Third World Water Woes

Water can be found anywhere. But there is not a lot that can be drank. That, unfortunately, is the situation faced by millions of residents in developing countries who are surrounded by oceans, but have no access to fresh drinking water. Now thanks to this ingenious portable ceramic desalination 'plant' created by Milan-based designer Gabriele Diamanti, there may be a viable solution.


What this "plant" does is it takes the salt water in the top and makes it into fresh water. It kind of works like an upside down coffee maker, during the day, the hear of the sun raises up the steam pressure into the black watertight boiler. The steam is forces down through the expansion nozzle, and then it condenses against the lid to create fresh drinking water.
