Equipment for cleaning dirty water

In the face of the threat of a lack of clean water to provide people in many countries around the world, a graduate student of Monash University (Australia) has devised a simple, inexpensive, long-term structural device. .

Jonathan Liou and his unique equipment.

That student is Jonathan Liou and his device is called Solarball (solar ball). It is a glass jug used to recycle water used into clean water with a central heating and cooling unit to condense clean water that rises from the heat of sunlight. Under the heat gathered from solar energy, water will evaporate, away from dirt and when condensed from water vapor, it can be used as potable water. Liou's 'equipment' capacity is modest at 3 liters / day.

Phys.org magazine reviews it will contribute to eliminating disease and saving the lives of many people.

Liou's project is acknowledged to be able to satisfy the needs of 900 million people worldwide, who are suffering from access to safe and clean water.

Remember that every year more than 2 million children die due to the polluted water that they forced to use. This problem is particularly serious in developing countries due to the rapid urbanization rate and a large population growth rate.

Liou confided: ' In 2008, I had the opportunity to travel to Cambodia for dust. I have witnessed how miserable people have to do everything with polluted water every day. That encourages me to think of this simple device to purify dirty water into clean water in many areas with year-round light. 3 liters / day is not much, but the first step. I will try '.
