Let There Be Distilled Water

Daily Amusing Gadgets - Eliodomestico Water Distiller

But before that, I'd need some saltwater, sunlight, and the mushroom-guy-from-mario-bros-looking-pot above.

That funky pot, dubbed Eliodomestico, by Italian designer Gabrile Diamanti is a solar-powered water distiller that can provide 5 liters of distilled water in one sunny day.  You just put some water in (not necessarily drinkable), leave it under the sun, and you're set.  Great news for developing countries.

What's remarkable is that Gabrile Diamanti had the designs open for everyone to use.  It's an open project, so yes, he's not patenting it.  Awesome guy. What's even more remarkable is that you can start a salt business as a by-product of the distilling process.  It's a win-win situation.

Hit the jump to see it in action.

If you want to see the details of how it works, go here.


I wonder if you can use this guy's urine as a water source.
