I like this technology also, another off the grid solution that deals with water shortages.

Hi Gizmag and everyone, Very good idea ... to sell photvoltaic an reverted osmosis installations. Nevertheless I remember them thatt it is easy tuse solar energy directly to distilate water. When you are near the sea water, you get it easily, and it is nearly clean apart of the salt. When subterranean water contains arsenic or other toxic salt, sure that osmosis coul be used, but in complicated ways. Some mirrors or other maner to catch solar energy can be used by people who quickly assimilate the knowledge, when an electric solar station depends of high- technology maitenance. But Gizmag is Gizmag and MIT is MIT !

Some mirrors or other mean to catch solar energy can be used by people who quickly assimilate the knowledge, when an electric solar station depends of high technology maintenance. But Gizmag is Gizmag and MIT is MIT ! J.D. Bernardin, Bilbao, Spain.

This technology is at least 10 times more expensive then our technology and the cost per gallon is 800 times more then our cost.

Bernardin said it well - this is too high tech for what it does. There are simpler methods.

Who were the main people that designed this. I want to get in contact with them to ask some questions

I am interested to get more details on this technology with the intention of having one unit for the very poor 'water-world' communities I am serving in the southernmost tip of the Philippines, some 14 miles off the coast of Malayasia.
Thanks a lot!
Peter

do you have a 12V unit ? I need to mantain a 32 gallon watertank

Hi Peter, you can contact me if you are still looking for a desalination unit for the poor, mail : rafael@rootmaestro.com

Thankyou,Hats up great innvotions. but how can we get these ones please send complete contact details.I want a Solar based water purifier(5 ltrs of ceramic container)
