What does a DeSal box do?
Leveraging old technologies, the DeSal box converts salt water into fresh water via evaporation and condensation
Salt water evaporates and recondenses into a storage chamber
DeSal has many use cases including purifying fresh water, off grid usage, and potential carbon-offset
History of still technologies
Pit still
Dating back to 1000 AD, pre Incan civilizations placed tree branches in a clay pot to collect condensation for use as drinking water
Transpiration Trap
Survivalists can collect drinking water by attaching a clear plastic bag to a tree and collecting moisutre that escapes the leaves
Seawater Still
A seawater still contains salt water within an enclosed space and directs evaporated fresh water to recondense at a fixed point
Our mission is to enable users living in coastal desert to locally source fresh water
Applications of DeSal
Enabling access to drinking water satisfies users basic fundamental needs
Creating surplus water enables users to use additional water for farming and irrigation
After satisfying drinking and nutritional needs, users can become involved in regenerative afforestation activities
