Is there a kind of boat that works as a desalination facility?
I’m not an engineer, but I think that you could build a large ship using solar power around the tropics and use evaporation (on platforms, and with heated tubes, not directly from the sea) to collect fresh water. It’d be a passive collection system. Expensive, but durable once created. Does this already exist?
A <A href="http://www.doranbros.co.uk">loft conversion</a> is the process of transforming an empty attic space into a functional room, typically used as either living accommodation or storage space. The installation of a loft conversion is a complicated process, and whilst it may be possible to attempt a ‘DIY’ loft conversion, the large amount of work involved often results in many people choosing to contract a specialist loft conversion company to undertake the task
I very highly doubt that it exists already. The way you have described the system is rather vague, so I am unable to properly assess the viability of such a system. It is hard to imagine fresh water being produced at a significant rate in this manner, least of all to justify the monetary investment and energy involved in constructing the facility.
Best of luck.
If you wanted water on land then the ocean will probably come to you and water is not expensive so to build a boat to make fresh water is probably going to be a project that is not feasible unless water becomes very expensive. Water is also very heavy and you would try and handle it from a fixed base. Check out the treatment plant in Dubai for making fresh water for the fun park there. Truly impressive.
The largest offshore desaliation plant in the world is on the coast of Australia. There is also a a reforestaion program being brewed up for the saharan desert.the beauty of a a concentrated solarheat aided offshore desalination plant whether mobile or not , is that it help restore the ocean salinity which is needed to help restore the oceans thermohailian circuitry ( the conveyor belt- which is the driving mechanism of the gulf streams needed for continued inland persipitation and prevention of extreme inland drought and extreme dry temperature and weather deviation around the resulting in a premature ice age, as the tropcal or equatoian gulfstreams become shorter and shorter they quit altogether, and most of the regions north and south of the equators will be buried in ice. This upset is caused by the melting of polar ice and resulting fresh water infusion of the oceans. Salt probably also aids in the production of static electricity in the ocean as well. I even thought of how the polar melt water could be redirected into Canada and the now drought suffering Great lakes , and from there pumped inlands in great aquiduct to the US inlands. Russia could do the same. But, a will to do these extra ordinary things have to be in place in order for it to happen. But, some things are really worth fighting for, espescially when it is the very thing that allow us and our children to live.
I haven’t heard about it but that would be great if someone will create it.
