The present proprietary invention provides a scalable means for the purification, including desalination, of water by use of multiple layers of thin plastic. (Patent Pending)
Making use of existing materials and production technology, whether implemented as a ridged array or as a flexible “bubble wrap” array, readily available production capacity and existing materials require little or no additional engineering. A significant proportion of required materials can be derived from recycled plastic. The proprietary invention can be described as a cell or bubble with saltwater intake and fresh water output. By allowing the sun to warm a heating chamber within the cell, the saltwater is evaporated (leaving the salt and other impurities in solution) and the water vapor condenses on the cell’s chilling surface as desalinated water. The desalinated and largely purified water then drains from the cell and is made available for drinking, cooking, cleaning or irrigation.
