First of all I'd just like to point out this poiniant/miniscule/major point about this product: Plastic absorbs bacteria n such...something to think about.... anyways......
I just came across a nifty lil' condensation machine (that's what I'd call it at least)
It's called the WATERCONE and apparently it's been around since 2004 (and probably wayyyy before that before we went mainstream with plastic...) but this lil' nifty device can definitely come in handy. Continue reading for a more indepth look and video (and slight ridiculing)
Come to think of it, my old cub scout manual came with a crude version of this. See:
Step #1: Pour salty / brackish Water into pan. Then float the Watercone(r) on top. The black pan absorbs the sunlight and heats up the water to support evaporation.
Step #2: The evaporated Water condensates in the form of droplets on the inner wall of the cone. These droplets trickle down the inner wall into a circular trough at the inner base of the cone.
Step #3: By unscrewing the cap at the tip of the cone and turning the cone upside down, one can empty the potable Water gathered in the trough directly into a drinking device.
