SOLAR POWERED WATER PURIFICATION DEVICE WITH CYLINDRICAL STRUCTURE

摘要

A device for purifying water by solar power is described. The device has bottom and top sections, each being half-cylinders contacting one another along a flat edge to provide an elongated cylinder. The bottom section has an evacuated area with an optically transparent bottom surface that light can pass through to heat a liquid tray in the top section. A side-gutter directs water that condenses on an interior surface of the top section to an output port for collection.

1. A device for purifying water by solar power, the device comprising:
a bottom section and a top section, each being half-cylinders contacting one another along a respective flat edge to provide an elongated cylinder; the bottom section comprising a cover that defines the flat edge of the bottom section that is sealed to an optically transparent bottom surface to provide an evacuated area that has a pressure of less than one atmosphere; the top section comprises a liquid tray that defines the flat edge of the top section, at least one side-gutter that directs water that condenses on an interior surface of the top section to an output port, the liquid tray further comprising an input port for adding water into the liquid tray.
