Hey!

That IS simple. It's a modern version of the solar still I posted last
week. The only problem is that when you're boiling water you've got to
prevent any of it from splashing up on the lid. You only want the pure
water that condenses on the lid, else it'll get contaminated by water
that splashed up there.
