The Journey to Forever
The solar still information was found in The Journey to Forever's online library, which I shall have to trawl through for other useful snippets.

Journey to Forever is a pioneering expedition by a small, mobile NGO (Non-Government Organization) involved in environment and rural development work, starting from Hong Kong and travelling 40,000 kilometres through 26 countries in Asia and Africa to Cape Town, South Africa.
Our route will take us away from the cities and populated districts to remote and inaccessible areas (usually also the least developed and poorest areas), where we'll be studying and reporting on environmental conditions and working for local NGOs on rural development projects in local communities.
The focus will be on trees, soil and water, sustainable farming, sustainable technology, and family nutrition.
The aim is to help people fight poverty and hunger, and to help sustain the environment we all must share.

To Timbuktu on Chocodiesel
Biotruck took a biodiesel processing plant to Timbuktu in Mali, so the locals could produce fuel from waste cooking oil. They made the journey carbon neutral by powering their truck with biodiesel derived from waste chocolate.
