Society of American Military Engineers Virginia Tech Chapter Water Purifier

Greetings! On this blog you will see our plans and instruction manual concerning our water purification system.

We were inspired to use a solar water distillation method that has been used for over 90 years. You can view the webpage for more information: http://www.motherearthnews.com/renewable-energy/solar-still-zmaz74sozraw.aspx#axzz3AygY5rSk

The purifier is highly effective in eliminating contaminants. See our water manual for results.

This purifier concept in actuality will cost under $50, and depending on the size of the device and available materials, can be around $10. The design is built around locally accessible and already on-hand materials.

The intent of this blog is to allow for this concept to be open-sourced wherever it is needed at no cost for those who truly need access to clean water.

*DISCLAIMER: We are not responsible for any illness due to operation of this purifier due to improper construction or tampering of the device. This is an open-sourced concept and any modifications will go away from what we tested specifically.
