Low cost Solar Water Purifier

This low cost water purifier uses the Solar energy which is available abundantly in India and it is free.
Te cost of making this purifier is about $ 60-75 with easily available material. There is one critical component the evacuated tube...which is available from Solar water heating companies.
In bangalore we got it for $18...we have a source in Pondicherry where it is available for $6 but has to be purchased in bulk.
Icarus design (www.icarus.co.in), a leading Industrial Design firm, based in Bangalore India, worked with NID ( Kunal singh) (www.nid.edu) and Aurore (http://www.auroville.com/aurore/) to develop a low cost solar water heater.
The initial prototypes produced only a few drops a day...after improving on these prototypes we have been able to produce almost 8 litres of distilled water on a sunny day in Bangalore.
We feel that this is sufficient to meet the drinking needs of a normal family of four members.
Though there are concerns on health benefits, drinking distilled water....after a preliminary research on the internet i understand that distilled water is in fact good for health.
Icarus design offers services in Industrial Design, Branding and Structural packaging.
