this is the latest thing in technology! what yo uare seeing in photo is called Sea Kettle. which is invented by a teenager. The Sea Kettle is meant to be an insulated, sturdy shelter able to turn sea water into fresh water. A person using the raft operates hand pumps within the cabin in order to draw sea water into a plastic reservoir on the roof. Heat from the sun causes the water to evaporate. The salt-free water vapor from the evaporated seawater can be captured and collected in containers within the raft's walls.
Hoffman says the desalination process she incorporated into the designed was inspired by the Watercone, a portable water desalination cone made by Mage Water Management. In their design, evaporating water from a bottom tray condenses onto the walls of a cone-shaped lid. The cone can be turned upside down in order to pour the potable water into a drinking vessel. By adding that concept to a conventional life raft design, Hoffman came up with the Sea Kettle.
However, the Sea Kettle design, the seawater is put into a reservoir in the roof. The condensed water droplets collect in one of four shafts and then flow down into pockets, which can be accessed from inside the raft by drinking through a rube. Hoffman says the raft can provide drinking water for up to five people on a daily basis.
And I like to inform you that inventor will be awarded by $15000.
