D
A build-it-yourself solar
still
（蒸馏器）
is one
of the best ways to obtain drinking water in
areas where the liquid is not readily
available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S.
Department
of
Agriculture,
it
’
s
an
excellent
water
collector.
Unfortunately,
you
must
carry
the
necessary
equipment with
you, since it
’
s all but
impossible to find natural substitutes. The only
components
required, though, are a 5

5
＇
sheet of clear or slightly milky
plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and
a container
—
perhaps just a drinking cup
—
to catch the water. These
pieces can be folded into a
neat little
pack and fastened on your belt.
一个自建的太阳
能蒸馏器是在不能快捷地获得水的地区获得饮用水的最佳方式之一
.
被
两位老子美国农业部的两位博士所研发
,
太阳能蒸馏器是绝佳的水的收集器。不幸地是，你
必须随身携带必要的装备，
因为这些装备是不可能找到自然的替代物的。
尽管如此，
所要要
求的唯一的组成部件有：

的塑料薄板，六英尺长的塑料管，以及一
个容器

也许饮水的杯子来收集水。
这几件物品可以被折叠装进一个整齐的小的包
内，

你的皮带上。
（便携式。
）
To
construct a working still, use a sharp stick or
rock to dig a hole four feet across and three
feet deep. Try to make the hole in a
damp area to increase the water
catcher
’
s productivity.
Place
your cup in the deepest part of
the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one
end rests all the way
in the cup and
the rest of the line runs up
—
and out
—
the side of the hole.
为了建造一个工作的蒸馏器，使用锋利的棍子或者石块挖一个四英尺宽三英尺深的坑。
为了增加这个接水器
（太阳能蒸馏器）的产量，尽量把坑挖在潮湿的地
区。
把杯子放在坑的
最深处。
然后把管
子放在合适的位置，
使得管子一端一致延伸到杯子中，
剩余的管
子一直朝
上，外出延伸到坑的外面。
Next, cover the hole with the plastic
sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt
and
weighting the
sheet
’
s center down with a
rock. The plastic should now form a
cone(
圆锥体
) with
45-degree-angled sides. The low point
of the sheet must be centered directly over, and
no more
than three inches above, the
cup.
下一步，
用塑料薄板把坑
覆盖住，
塑料板的边缘用泥土加固，
用一块石头把薄板的中
心部位压低。现在塑料薄板能够形成一个
45
度倾斜面的圆锥体。薄板的最低端必须直接居
