Passive Solar Water Recycling System

Our solution uses parabolic mirrors to distill water. Specifically, it is a system designed using simple and recycled parts to evaporate then reconstitute urine and grey water into grey water and urea. The former can be reused and the latter used as fertilizer.

Urban communities need more reused water.  Distributed, at need populations do not have enough of it.  This solution addresses that need by using very simple, renewable, and available mechanisms to recycle water.

We believe that this problem will assist in solving a larger problem.  Building an incremental, low tech, renewable solution that ameliorates an enormous problem is progress.

This solution is a simple machine.  It's the seed of an idea.  Building a flexible system that can recycle and reuse what water is available is something many people have worked on extensively.  The advantages to our solution are cost, lifespan, and passivity.  A properly designed system could work with no replacement filters, no external maintenance, and no power source.

- One installed system for water recycling

- One installed system for urea storage

Our solution is unique because it takes in consideration the people to which the machine is destined. The simple use of our technology is addressed to vulnerable people, like refugees and rural communities, who normally possess basic education and skills.

In addition, as soon as the machine is ready, such people will be able to used without any cost, since it works with resources that are involuntary produced daily.

Natural resources, as water, guarantee an adequate standard of life. They are used locally or sold to generate income, able to satisfy other needs: medicines, education or buying of food not produced in situ. Unfortunately vulnerable people, like refugees, are pushed to extreme areas, without access to rivers, sea or fertile soil.

Therefore our technology simplifies the life of these people, who can use their own and no cost resources, like grey water and urine, and enhance their life. Moreover, when the machine is installed, those people will be able to maintain themselves, without depending fully on others. 

Since the pieces can be designed to order to be really affordable, the deployment will be easier. Thanks to notable production of fertiliser by individual, there will not be necessary many machines. This means that the space necessary to store the machine does not need to be elevated. 

As mentioned before, since it will work with no cost resources, the machine will be easily affordable to people with small if not nonexistent amount of money. The simplicity in the usage make the machine widely accessible.

Since all the people in the team have day jobs, the idea is to search organisations that are in favour of funding our project. The different backgrounds and nationalities that characterise our team will open the door to different investors.

1. Initial Implementation

2. Research

3. Various human factors.

Being Solver has many benefits. For of all, it is necessary to people who want to improve the world, to be more realistic and find solutions that are suitable  to practical situations. 

In addition, all the steps that we made until now gave us the possibility to introduce ourselves to people who are already in the sector of sustainable development and could be interested, also outside this "competition". 

Finally, whatever happens, some investors could be interested in the project, that can really improve the life of people who live in poor and disadvantaged conditions.
