Description
Title
Artist's
rendering
of
solar
still
Folder
Research with Plastic, Chestnut Run Labs
Description
Artist's
conception
of a
solar
still
which
may
some
day
permit
tapping
of
oceans
or
brackish
inland
sources
for
additional
supplies
of
fresh
water
.
Salt
water
flows
from
pipe
in
foreground
into
shallow
troughs
covered
with
plastic
film
canopies
,
which
are
supported
by
air
pressure
.
Heat
from the
sun
causes
evaporation
and
pure
water
condenses
on the
inside
of the
canopy
and
is
carried
to the
reservoir
at the
upper
left
. The
DuPont
Company
has
developed
experimental
plastic
films
capable
of
withstanding
prolonged
weathering
. The
company
is
making
these
films
available
to the
U.S
.
Department
of the
Interior
for
construction
of
experimental
solar
stills
.
While
production
of
fresh
water
by this
method
is
not
now
commercially
feasible
, the
projected
government
program
may
lead
the
way
to
design
of
low
cost
stills
that
could
produce
fresh
water
economically
.
