Embodiment Construction

[0016] Referring now to the accompanying drawings, figure 1 Shows a front view of an embodiment of a portion of the invention.

[0017] figure 1 An inverted Y-shaped structure "1" is shown consisting of a vertical section "2" and two inclined leg sections "3" and "4". The device comprises a translucent housing "5". The housing, also referred to as the first tube arrangement, may be constructed of acrylic or any other material that is light transmissive.

[0018] The second tube means "6" is positioned inside the first tube means. The second tube means is preferably constructed of a non-corrosive material such as stainless steel. The diameter of element "6" is smaller than that of element "5", so that a space "7" is formed between them. This space is treated such that a vacuum is formed between the second tube arrangement and the first tube arrangement. The vacuum prevents heat from dissipating following lens behavior discussed below.

[0019] Vertical pipe means "8" are...

Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for distilling fresh water from sea, and brackish water. In essence, an invented, Y-shaped structure is configured such that each leg of the figure contains two, concentric pipe means. One pipe means institutes the exterior of the leg, and is translucent. The smaller pipe means is positioned inside the first, and a vacuum exists between the two. Water is permitted to enter the pipe means, via a further pipe means in communication with the source of the water. When the water rises in the legs of the apparatus, concentrated heat provided via, e.g., Fresnel lenses, acts to evaporate the water, resulting in separation of salt and impurities therefrom. Pure water condenses in the device and accumulates in a reservoir provided for this purpose.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Art [0002] This application claims priority to Provisional Application Serial No. 61 / 536,782, filed September 20, 2011, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for distilling fresh water from seawater or other non-fresh water samples. Background technique [0004] In many parts of the world, potable fresh water is not readily available or scarce. Ironically, many of these regions are surrounded by, or have access to, virtually unlimited amounts of water that is undrinkable due to salinity (eg, seawater) or other mineral contaminants (eg, brackish water). [0005] This problem has long been recognized, and a variety of devices exist in the art that produce potable water, and more preferably distilled water. See, for example, US Patent No. 7,955,478, which describes what is known as a "vertical tubular evaporation apparatus." The inventio...
