GPSD – Gravity Pit Sand Desalinator Open-source, zero-energy water filtration system Created by Jean-Francis Kuoch – Independent Researcher GPSD (Gravity Pit Sand Desalinator) is a low-cost, scalable water purification concept using ultrafine sand and gravity-based trench systems. Designed for drought-prone regions and off-grid use cases, it is entirely mechanical, field-deployable, and free of proprietary constraints. 🔍 Overview No electricity No pressurization No patents Just sand, slope, and purpose. GPSD enables pre-filtration of seawater or contaminated sources before final purification by solar or membrane means. ☕ Support This Project If this helped you or inspired a local build, feel free to tip: https://ko-fi.com/jeanfranciskuoch 📜 License This project is licensed under CC BY 4.0.
