Make a Solar Powered Survival Water Filter From 2 Water Bottles
Whether you need to filter water for drinking or cooking, this DIY solution harnesses the power of the sun.
In this video from the YouTube channel MAD Science Hacks, you will learn how to create a simple water filtration system using the thermal energy of the sun. You will need two water bottles, a thin PVC pipe, and a hot glue method to hold the bottle caps together. Glue the covers together and then drill both holes in them. Now attach the PVC pipe to one of the water bottle caps as shown in the video and you’re done. Pour dirty water into a bottle without a tube, put it in the sun and screw the caps on. As the water heats up and evaporates in the bottom bottle, the steam rises into the second bottle, where it collects and turns into water. It will take a while, but it’s a trick that can come in handy when camping or if you’re in a situation where you want to survive .
