, make drinking water. His idea was always to help those in need, but probably never thought his invention would win several awards and earned him a job as product designer at an Australian company. Although we enjoy drinking water daily, does not mean that everyone is well. Jonathan Liow, a Monash University graduate, is aware of this need and took his experience in Cambodia to create a simple, economical and efficient water purification. The result was the
SolarBall
(Ball Solar), a portable device capable of producing up to three liters of drinking water.
Liow said: " After visiting Cambodia in 2008, and seeing the dire shortage of products that we take for granted, inspired me to use my design skills to help others . secured a job as product designer Kincrome, a company Australian is responsible for creating tools and equipment. could tick as a brilliant design, but its operation is quite simple. First you save the water in the area, it absorbs sunlight and produces some of the water to evaporate, separating contaminants from water and condensing the clean water before being consumed. And its construction shares the same mentality of being simple and economic, as well as durable, with a construction capable of supporting all types of weather, either hot or cold areas.
Jonathan Liow solar happy with his ball. Around the world thousands of people consume contaminated water, which can be easily avoided with devices like the young man did Liow. The same device that was named Australian finalist, James Dyson, the best design. And in April has an appointment in Italy to be exhibited at the International Design Fair in Milan. But while congratulating its creator, the next step would be to let them reach the 900 million people lack access to clean water.
