is a lower tech solar solution?
- goda90 7y agoOne cool application of solar stills is when you can't find any liquid water, no matter how salty or dirty, but you can cut up parts of plants and seal them in plastic to collect the moisture from the plants. Obviously not scalable, but it can be a useful survival technique.
- aidenn0 7y agoActually the Navy survival kit still seems to even have similar space efficiency if a 1/3m^2 footprint allowed for 2.4L per day. That would translate to 7.2L per M^2 per day which is right around the 6-8L mentioned in the article.
