SolarBall

SolarBall is one of those devices that are simple yet very effective. Created by Jonathan Liow, an Industrial Design student, the sole purpose of the ball is to purify up to 3 liters of polluted water a day. Now, that may seems not a big deal to some of us that have the luxury of fresh tap water, but for the people that live in underdeveloped countries, drinkable water is as precious as gold.




How it all works? We start by pouring polluted water into the SolarBall. Then through heating from the Sun, the liquid starts to evaporate and forms drops of water on the ceiling of the dome. Finally the droplets run down into the gutter where you can collect the already purified water.


Here is an informative video on the SolarBall :
