Watercone-The water cone is a device that can be used to purify salt water (Ocean) and /or brackish water. Brackish water is water that is a mixture of fresh water and salt water. The Watercone was invented in Germany by a man by the name of Stephan Augstin. The invention is simple, yet very effective. it consists of a clear plastic cone (100% recyclable), and a black basin for holding the salt/brackish water (100% recycled Poly Carbonate).

How?

The cone floats inside the black basin forming an air tight seal which allows solar radiation to heat the air and water inside shown in figure 1. The top of the cone has a cap similar to that of a pop bottle insuring that the water is not lost to the atmosphere. To see more on the Watercone click here watercone.
