نگرانی در مورد کمبود آب شیرین در جهان رو به افزایش است.طراح این اجاق خورشیدی Gabriele Diamanti می باشد. این طرح برنده جایزه core 77 2012  بوده است.

Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. Concerned about the lack of

fresh water in the developing world, designer Gabriele Diamanti wanted a

solution to desalinate water that was available to households rather

than relying on giant, centralized plants.

He also wanted it to be something inexpensive that could be made by

local craftsman. The result is a ceramic solar still called the

Eliodomestico that operates like an “upside-down coffee percolator

The open-source design of the Eliodomestico is remarkably simple. It

consists of two ceramic pieces that sit one atop the other. Inside the

top piece is a black container into which salt water is poured. The sun

heats the container, turning the water to steam. As pressure builds, the

steam is forced down a tube into a container in the lower piece. There

it condenses against the lid and collects in the basin of the container

The Eliodomestico collects about five liters (1.09 gal) of fresh

water per day and costs about US$50 to build with no operating costs.

The bottom container’s basin is designed to be transported on the head,

which is a common practice in developing countries.

The design was a finalist at Prix Emile Hermès competition 201,

received special mention at the Well-Tech Award 2012 and was the pro

winner of the Core77 Design Awards 2012, social impact category.
