Abstract

This invention which is built into a ship relates to the provision of fresh water from the sea. It consists of a flexible pipe lowered into the sea from the underside of the ship for the purpose of bringing up the dense water from the sea bed, and a shallow container, with a double circular cone is built above to collect the dense water as it evaporates into distilled water and the only way this can happen is to bring up the dense water without it getting contaminated with any other water on the way up, and my invention will bring up the dense water without any contamination, and will give a continuous flow without use of heat or power.

Description

SPECIFICATION Container for continuous flow fresh water from sea This invention relates to the provision of fresh water from sea water. It consists of a shallow container, over which is fixed a double cone for collecting the sea water as it evaporates into distilled water, and the only way this can happen is by bringing up th'e dense water from the sea bed, without getting it mixed with the water above I note that the evaporation rate of the dense water increased considerably as the density of the water increases, and I claim my invention will bring up the dense water from the sea bed without any contamination with other water, and will give a continuous flow without use of any power.

Figure 1 shows metal cone fixed above the container which receives the sea water and the pipe which goes down to the sea bed and the storage tanks Figure 2 shows details of the outer cone and the inner cone, where the dense water is evaporated into distilled water Figure 3 shows the location of the container in relation to an ocean going boat.

(1) The outer metal cone for collecting the distilled water. (2) The distilled water running down the inside of the cone. (3) Internal metal cone for collecting the distilled water. (4) Channels from (3) to (4) for collecting distilled water. (5) Circular container for receiving distilled water. (6) Container for holding dense water coming up (15) from sea bed. (7) Outlet from (5) into (4). (8) Sea level, this gives decisive and critical point for placing level of container. (9) Over flowfrom (8) through (9) into (13). (10) and (11) Pipe and pump for sending used sea water back into sea.

(12) Outlet with control tap (12A) for draining water frcm (6) and when control tap is turned on, it will cause the dense water to rise from the bottom, and from thereon it will give a continuous flow without use of any power. (13) Tank for holding used sea water for pumping back into sea. (14) Storage tank for holding distilled water ready for use. (15) Main pipe leading from bottom of (6) down to (16). (16) Lead weights surround for helping pipe down to sea bed. (17) wire mesh cone to prevent fish from entering main pipe.

This invention relates to the provision of fresh water from the sea. It consists of a shallow container, over which is fixed a double circular cone for collect ing the sea water as it evaporates into distilled water, and the only way this can happen, is by bringing up the dense water from the sea bed, without it getting mixed up with the water above, the greater the depth, the greater the density, and the rate of evap oration is quicker and where fresh water is wanted in substantial quantities, the depth should not be less than five hundred feet, and I claim that my invention will bring up the dense water from the sea bed with out contamination with any other water on the way up, and will give a continuous flow without use of power, no heat of any kind is needed and the amount of fresh water required is limited only by the capacity of the boat being used.
