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.

This is quite saucy, too, for those far from the coast: http://www.gizmag.com/airdrop-wins-james-dyson-award/20471/

Yeah, that's pretty dope. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, I'll put it together. The nifty thing is that it uses the cool water coming in to speed condensation, then cycles it when it's warmer to the evaporation cylinder, where it will more readily evaporate.

Intriguing! Yeah, do that. Save the world, TinCanner.
