The last paragraph is cool too though. A single device for a household that produces enough water would be big for many communities. The only real question here is how complex and expensive the device is.

I wonder whether that’s safe enough considered there much shit in salty water than just salt but judging by the fact it’s condensing I guess that’d mean yes?

Most of the shit will remain down with the salt, as they’re too dense to flow upwards with the water vapor.

Btw, that’s pretty much distilled water, right? While drinkable, it’ll be lacking some needed minerals, no?

No. You can get those minerals from your food. It is safe to drink distilled water. But there is a lot of misinformation about distilled water, I have even had people tell me it can kill them! Water is water. Get your minerals from food.

Tbf, chugging over a gallon of distilled water in one go will actually kill you though

Good to know, I had the misconception that you could only get some never specified minerals from freshwater and that distilled water would leave you mostly thirsty.

It’s literally distilled water. I don’t know what this technology does that other evaporative distillation systems don’t already do, besides being solar powered.

Other stuff should be limited since the water evaporates and is then condensed. Little should be carried with it, but I don’t know for certain.
