Claim 0:
1. A set of physical objects comprising:
cube shapes that are twice as tall as they are wide;
wherein the cube shapes have a lower half comprising an enclosed cavity filled with air that allows them to float in water;
wherein the cube shapes submerge in water so that a majority of each cube shape is below a water surface;
wherein water enters into each of the cube shapes in a respective middle portion thereof such that the water comes in contact with a heated rod disposed within each cube shape;
wherein the heated rod causes the water to become steam and rise into a top enclosed compartment of the cube shape where the steam condenses on a side of the top enclosed compartment;
wherein the water that condenses on the side of the top enclosed compartment collects into gutters along the side of the compartment and flows down into an enclosed cavity in a lower half of the cube where condensed water is stored;
wherein the heated rod is heated by sunlight focused by a Fresnel lens onto a metal plate to which the heated rod is affixed;
wherein the cube shapes are solar stills and are functional as building blocks, such that the cube shapes can be assembled to build structures configured to perform water purification in a particular environment;
wherein the cube shapes are made of hard objects, soft objects, flexible objects and/or magnetic objects;
wherein the cube shapes interface with each other at interfaces;
wherein the interfaces include sticks, nails, knobs, hooks, gears, snaps, screws, latches, magnets, kawai tsugite, bearings and/or hinges arranged along corners of the cube shapes;, wherein the cube shapes bear mathematical relationships towards each other, wherein the cube shapes are configured to be joined together at the interfaces and locked together and reinforced with poles or sphere shapes having mathematically defined dimensions.
