Figure 1: Supplies include: a monocrystalline solar panel to power the power for the heat source, a TDS water purity tester, a fan to cool the second chamber, a charge controller for the solar panel to manage the voltage that goes into and out of the battery, and carbon filters. These materials were a part of the first supply order for, but the condenser coil did not arrive with the rest of the supplies, therefore it is not in the picture.
Figure 2: This image shows the heater and the breaddboard that was taken out of the old coffee pot. The plan is to use this heater in the water purification device instead of buying one to save money. The heater will be in the first chamber to boil the water.
Figure 3: This image shows the inspiration for the design of the water filter. It shows where the condenser coil should be located in order to function, which was a major part of the remaking of the design.
Figure 4: This image shows the plastic being cut by the band saw. This was a first time experience of using a band saw, and it proved very helpful and simple for cutting the polycarbonate plastic.
Figure 5: This image shows the plastic pieces that were glued together, along with the condenser coil in its place.
Figure 6: This image shows the completed second chamber. The fan at the top will be used to cool the inside of the chamber down as the condenser coil lowers the temperature of the water vapor. The tops of the latches can be seen on the sides of the chamber, towards the bottom; these latches will be used to secure the water storage container securely in place.
Figure 7: This image shows the insulation that was placed around the first chamber to prevent condensation on the inside.
