Looks good.
My only objection is that I don't like Spanish, and obviously that's not a valid objection. Cool.

Does this mean I'm gonna have to learn Spanish?

Nothing wrong with scorpions, unless you get that Parabuthus species that fires venom like a spitting cobra..eep....otherwise, apparently, they are fairly tasty, and who is going to burgle the home, of the homeowner, autie or otherwise, that will tip a bucket of angry bark scorpions on their heads :lol:

perhaps if we tried it ourselves we could sell the idea to the mexican goverment. they would love us then.

Hmm.
Considering that a similar apparatus is already used for electricity in parts of the desert, I'm surprised nobody's thought of using it for water before.
It'd probably work quite nicely, given a sufficient number of them and a decent temperature.
Made a prototype yet?

Make a scale model and use salt water. I'm not sure where you can find the glass parts, but I know they exist. Harware store, craft supply store, and scientific catalogue would be where I'd look.
Seal the glass with some sort of specialty tape.
When I was younger I made a functional miniature greenhouse out of shower-rack type shelves, some wood, heavy plastic, and nails.
Unfortunately my mother threw it out as soon as I moved the plants to the garden, but the point is that even really rough, poorly done prototypes often work.

I hate to rain on anyones parade, however although the concept itself is sound as I pointed out in the other thread its efficiancy can be raised by a significant magnitude beyond this basic design, however the more efficiant designs are already patented, and these simpler more rudementery ones probably are also, probably prior to the more refined versions, of course would have to check with all the patent offices around the worlf to be sure (patents unlike copyright are often nation rarther than world wide)
Aren't you not supposed to be able to patent obvious concepts though?
Then again, somebody apparently copyrighted "Aspergia."
I'd fantasized about an AS homeland called Aspergia indepently years before I first saw the name on Wikipedia or even heard of Wikipedia, since 7th-8th grade, around 2001.
What's less original than adding taking of the less syllable of a word and adding "ia" to it? You can copyright that then I'm not surprised you can patent boiling water.
Amazing how a power granted to "promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries" (emphasis mine) has become a way to lock anything no matter how small, away indefinitely as a monopoly.

Saltwater has, well, a lot of salt in it. The problem with this design is that depnding on the size of the reflector, the amount of sunlight, etc, the inside of the boiling chamber would periodically cleaned to remove the crystals that would form.

I have the following problems with Mexico:
Mexican law greatly restricts the ability of immigrants to gain Mexican citizenship. Resident aliens might be "welcomed", but there are a lot of restrictions. Likewise, one must be a retiree with an external-from-Mexico income of 400 times the daily minimum wage in Mexico city, must personally invest at least 26,000 times said daily minimum wage, or be a "qualified professional" who is sponsored by a Mexican government-approved company.
One must be a Mexican citizen to vote or hold public office in Mexico, of course. This point is extremely important for one simple reason: Mexico's government situation is still very corrupt, at national, state, and local levels. So long as resident aliens bring in lots of money, the government will be friendly to them--if they have enough social acumen to keep local political influence on their side. A group of AS people moving to Mexico to form a community will be a flock of sheep asking a pride of lions permission to move onto their savannah. Yes, the lions will give permission.
