Cem Schnitzler wants to help people in the developing world make fresh water. Fresh water is not something easily obtained for over three billion of our world's inhabitants and Mr. Schnitzler has designed a simple device to distill water that can be 3D printed. He is offering .stl files so you can print your own.The device has a body, a hopper, and a cap, which are 3D printed in a UV resistant material. Waste water is put into the base of the device, which would be printed in black so as to absorb light from the sun. In the sun, the Water Maker heats up to 85°C, steam forms and condenses along the inside of the device’s hopper. The condensed water, streams along the sides of the funnel and into a reservoir lining the edge of the device.
Voilà! Fresh water!
