I have a couple ideas for your water collection. I think it would make sense to combine your mineral heating method with the tarp method. To do this, instead of using a dehumidifier that needs constant power use a hygroscopic desiccant like calcium chloride or epsom salts. You can absorb all your water in that way without constant power expenditure, then kiln out the water all at once a few gallons at a time. I bet the short burst of kiln power will be less than the constant dehumidifier power. Maybe just have a little solar powered computer fan for mild circulation. Second idea is to mount a big umbrella shaped tarp on a wheelie cart or an automated roomba thing that changes location when it detects humidity has dropped below a useful threshold.

@CribleyGaming

The buckets of desiccant could remain stationary in a solar still, picking up water at night, and getting rid of it during the day. Just change where the air circulates twice a day.

alternatively, why not just use "passive cooling" (atmospheric window IR emission) for condensation, since the moisture is created by the sun anyway. the humidifier is essentially just an easy way to collect condensed water, no real need to waste power for that.

I had almost forgotten about chicken hole base, and then out of nowhere, new episode to brighten my day. EDIT: I'd like to propose an alternate rig setup for your distillation. Bury one of your smaller tanks completely, and put shade over it. Have a hose coming from under the tarp to a relatively high point. Warmer air from under the tarp should create a natural draft to this high point. At the high point, put some coils to cool the air and some shade over that. From the coils, drop another hose down to the buried tank, all the way to the bottom of it. From the top of the buried tank, run another hose back to the tarp. This makes it a completely passive system that gets the benefit of the higher temperature differential, but without needing any moving parts or electricity.

true true, but it also takes much more effort and time. so hopefully it pays off for him.

The taste of the dehumidifier condensate is probably from the evaporator coils. Metal food cans have a plastic coating to limit contamination. I would treat the water collected as grey water.

Given the low amount of gas that fridge needs in order to run, you could revive your biodigester project to fuel it (helpful that you have a camping crapper too, perfect place to start!), they are pretty much a small candle flame type thing, so the amount of gas your digester made would be suitable, and of course there's always a gasometer system to store it too if there's any excess... :)

C'mon Universities, give this very multitalented man an Honorary Degree, Cody would bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to your academic world. IMHO - it's long overdue.
