  • it is based on a scientific principal. Has something to do with atmospheric presure being 14 lbs or so. At that height the atmosphere creates equalibrium. so the water evaporates. suppose you could use a tiny tube.

    Wonder how they pump water up hills that are more than 15 meters high? mabey more science talk is needed here for all of us who were too busty fighting off the bullys in high school to learn anything!

  • okay this is a waste. the energy it takes to lift and create the "vacuum" would be so great. compaired to what they all ready do. have a chamber seal it, lowwer the pressure boil, less energy dont need 16M high pipes all over the place, plus the chamber version is proven and is in desalination plant use all over the world. nice that you are using your head, but need to think about efficancy or practicality. nice video keep using your head

  • Heat from the pump could make the water 'boil', but would likely waste more energy in the pump than would an efficient electrical distiller

  • @z1zaz no it wouldn't waste heat as the heat would be lost

    if the pump was cooled by the water or not. good idea.

  • @z1zaz

    The thing about a distiller is that it runs hot and boils off lighter oil/ alcohol fractions without re-condensing them.

    This pump represents a closed system incapable of removing such fractions.

  • @z1zaz A distiller does re-condense the lighter fractions what are you talking about. And no its not a closed system heat can pass into the pipe on on the water side and out after the pumps side.

  • So what will heat the water? it will get cold and stop boiling unless you add a heat source (the output water?)

  • @erlendse Ambient temperature air and Its not meant to replace

    Industry as a water source its meant for a low tech solution for

    3rd world countries. Anyway I will be building one hopefully soon.

  • you might want to actually attempt to build this thing before making any claims

  • @sirHOAX when i have time ill make one and put a video of it up
