I got mine from the inventor many years ago. the 1st ones I think he made out of wood and glass on the top. I don't know what the trough was made of. once the water collects on the glass it is pure and runs down the glass to a trough . It is not heat that makes the water rise I have made water under a full moon. I call it moon shine. I have seen his work years ago where he strings a few Big ones together so in the morning you put in fresh water and it runs through to the other end where it can go to another water maker or just out the other end. I use my morning rinse out water to water plants. he had a model that made 1/2 gal to travel and one that cost half as much that made 1 gal mine was made to give me 2 gal. I think the science is if the glass is set just right so the water drop collects on the glass it has to roll down to the trough . so IMHO it is the slant of the glass so the drop does not drop back into the bottom but rolls all the way down to be collected. I would think with large glass you can make 20 gal or more a day. it is all in the size of the container and the glass. mine is small just for us. I had a water distiller before and the electric was costly so I feel this paid for itself in a short time. it is free just the sun. no heat source no electric no moving parts . I don't sell them and I don't know who does. If mine ever brakes I guess I will have to take it down to a metal man and make me a new one by bending the stainless in to the same shape and glass is easy to come by. mine is 8 ft. long . 3 ft. wide at the back it is 6 in the back and 3 in in the front. so the water that is collected on the glass runs down to be collected. the 1 gal. was 4 ft. long and 3 wide same 6 or 7 in . in the back and 3 or so in the front. I guess you can make it longer to make more than 2 gal. so you can either string mine together or make longer ones. so I'm not a engineer but he was a great one and I am thankful to him for the idea. he was so smart and worked on the idea for years.
