Floating distiller from old tires can clear 15.5 cups of water a day
Researchers at Dalhousie University in Canada have developed an innovative floating solar distiller. It is capable of producing 15.5 cups of fresh water daily.
This distiller works on the principle of absorbing water from the environment and uses solar heat to vaporize it. The purified water is condensed on the dome of the device and collected for further use. What makes this project unique is that it is made from recycled old tires, which significantly reduces the cost of water purification.
In addition, the distiller can generate a small amount of electricity due to the thermoelectric effect. This could be useful, for example, for the operation of water quality sensors.
According to the authors of the project, if this method proves to be effective, it will be a significant step forward in providing clean water to residents of countries where there is a shortage of it
