Does it desalinate? Or will it also purify? 'cuz there's big money in that. Share some details. Sounds cool!
It's as pure as evaporated water gets (which should be eminently drinkable). The basic premise is a personal use system that poor people in areas near the ocean could use. The waves push water in, and the sun dries it out. Simple. It's basically concentric clear plastic channels with some modifications for letting water in and out.
