this is super cool. this can help so many people that have no access to clean fresh water. brilliant.

I missed the part where you drink it on camera.

To get the process REALLY going, painting the bottom bottle black and using aluminum foil to insulate/reflect the heat from the top bottle would probably work quite well!!!

Great idea and great source for distilled water for my carnivorous plants

would it help to paint the bottom bottle black to make it absorb more heat and help evaporate the water faster?

[tracydoverspike]

My 5th grader is going to use this for his science fair project and test different water sources and then test which one is the cleanest. Any other tips would be helpful. Thank you.

What could be a substitute to make a hole? I will use it as an investigatory project😊

[marten]

If the dirty part of the bottle was painted black would it work faster?

[mamalamadrama]

yo What The Heck! if that's safe to drink then we need to pass the idea along to the people who don't have clean water around the world! wtf that's so cool

Видимо у всех всегда в походе есть пистолет для склеивания и шуруповерт.

[jimsteele]

so... what's up with the solar panel in the thumb nail?

[shabirsaqebi]

will it remove the excess minerals disolved in the water? plz reply

[ff_m]

I don’t understand why mine isn’t working? 😭

[werpaVB]

I'll keep this in mind for the next time I'm stranded in a desert with a hot glue gun and, pvc pipe, and power drill...

[faithsunderland]

Would you need to boil the water afterward?

[TheDragShot]

Hmm... good idea! I'll make a dozen and let them work under the sun.

had to watch twice, cuz first time I was busy dancing..

I would try finding glass bottles since most plastic beverage bottles leach chemicals into your liquid when it warms from the sun.
