This page needs tied in with Understanding_Solar_Stills and solar distillation in detail.
I've tried to develop a variation of the solar still over at http://imagina-canarias.blospot.com with 2 plastic bottles and some tube between them, to be used massively in emergencies. I found my initial setup didn't work, but I think a new iteration might prove to be better. The whole idea is "forced evaporation" (in one bottle) + "forced condensation" (in the other). I'm guessing I could dump my design and data in a page here, and let people who are better informed, or who can continue where I left off, tell us. Maybe it just can't work, or it's very easy.
