Summary of Design Idea:
Our design solution is that of a single stage passive solar still, equipped with plano-convex lenses (and alternatively Fresnel lenses) as opposed to a flat plane of glass / plastic. It utilizes solar energy directly for distillation of sea water by use of the greenhouse effect in order to produce potable and usable water, and electricity which the communities of Lobitos and Piedritas desperately need.
