    Big box with pipe pointing up in the middle that exits the box through the bottom to reach a collection tank

    Fill with salt water without going past the pipe opening

    Add transparent lid with a slope towards the middle so the water condenses and drops in the pipe

    Go do whatever you want all day, you’ve got a passive drinking water creator and nothing to clog since solids just accumulate at the bottom and can be scooped out as needed.
