I'm just testing it, that's what the project's about. MIT created something extremely similar.

Oh, I'm sorry I thought you meant solar heating panels :O, give me a second.

I have a few sites, although I'm not going to use this type of solar panel, and I'm still curious about the wiring. http://www.mygenerationenergy.com/faq/ http://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/green-tech/energy-production/solar-thermal-power.htm...

Not really, I plan on using an actual electrical energy producing solar panel. I have done research on those though, and they look really effective. I obviously don't know enough about circuitry to actually charge the rod/ tube though. Does the tube need some type of prong?

I have two jugs because I don't want to have the vapor condense into the same jar with the dirty/ salty water. I was just going to wrap the wires around the part of the copper tube that was sticking out of the jug.

I just pushed a bunch of images together, but this is (kind of) what it's supposed to be like. The tube connects the jugs and the tube is technically supposed to be in the jug, but I can't draw and I haven't set it up yet because of my hydrogen gas explosion fears. And copper is the only...

I'm not that intelligent of a person, and I'm still in high school if this helps rest your doubts. I'm doing a project for class that involves hooking a solar panel to a copper tube in order to boil salt water, filthy water (dirt + water), and average water. However, the more I research about...
