I saw one similar to what you describe i think it made distiiled water the
water was put in a back box it condensed onto its glass lid which was set
at an angle to drip into the glass jar 24 hours 2 gal. It was at the green
energy fair held in fredericksburg tx near austin which is held each year
in october. The inventor did not use stainless steel but coated the inside
curved edges of the box with something that he said was not bad for humans
it was a black coating the whole inside of the box was black. Stainless
steel does sound safer perhaps a large stainless steel bowl would work put
a piece of glass on it have a copper tube that has a fluted edge hooked to
it
I cant remember exactly but he set it up in a frame above ground and the
lid was hinged so you could clean it out easily and he stressed only
drink the distilled water not the original water as it would be a highly
concentrated mix of impurities by days end it was about as big as a
bathroom sink. I looked forward to seeing his devices again but i did not
go last year and i know it has been at least nine years since insaw him but
i did not have a chance to go to each and every booth Trudie
