Water Desalination and Filtration Device
Materials
Clear Plastic Bins:
Smaller Bin: 18 1/8'' x 12 1/4'' x 11 1/2"
Larger Bin: 26 1/8" x 16 1/4" x 13 1/2"
3D Printer (Original design funnel)
Black Acrylic Paint (To paint the bottom of the top bins)
Glass
Panels
Salt Water (from the beach)
Filter- Coffee filter, cotton pads, mesh lining, fabric
Native Plants (Possible plants- Narrow Leaf MilkWeed, GoldenRod, Native Buckwheat, Toyon)
Heating Pad
Possibly- Solar panel to supply energy
Water Testing Kit
Desalination
Evaporation of water
Fueled by sun (sitting outside)
fueled by sun (solar panel)
heating pad/plate to heat water and encourage evap.
powered by electricity from outlet
powered by solar charged battery (renewable energy option)
reverse osmosis technology
features
two bins, one for the salt water and one for the fresh filtered water
glass panel tops
filter between the bins
to filter the water from any contaminants in it
black painted bottom
connector at bottom of bins to connect fresh water to hoses, etc.
provides those in warmer environments, in droughts, or even just gardeners, with the ability to conserve more water
Filtration
Materials
Coffee Filters
Mesh Lining
Cotton Pads
Fabric
How it works
Water will pass through the filtering materials, and should hopefully come out with less contaminants
Pros and Cons
Pros: some pollutants and contaminants are filtered, allowing the output to be cleaner and safer to drink/water plants with
Cons: Since our desalination process has water dripping down in small amounts, we are worried that some of the filter materials, such as the cotton pads, might absorb the water
