Video Summary

Joshua Margo, a third-year student at VCOM Auburn, discusses his project on improving clean water access using 3D printed solar stills. His team aims to help communities lacking safe drinking water, as seen during their outreach in the Dominican Republic. The solar still, a cost-effective device, uses solar energy to purify water, fastening onto standard bottles. Despite its economic viability, current water production efficiency needs improvement. With Auburn University’s engineering help, they aim to enhance water output and quality. The goal is to implement this technology in underserved communities globally to reduce waterborne diseases.
