Function The basic principle of the Watercone is solar powered evaporation and condensation of seawater or brackish water. The heat of the sun evaporates the seawater. Just pure water molecules are in the air, the salt and dirt remains on the ground or in the saltwater. Inside the colder coneshell, the molecules condensate and are growing into drops. These drops are downrunning inside the shell into the large gutter. By opening the screw closure and turning the cone upside down, you can pour out the potable water. On an average sunny summerday the Watercone produces 1-1.5 liters of freshwater in 24 hours with a used surface area of 0,5 square meter.. |
