OCEAN WAVE ACTUATED GRAVITATIONAL DESALINATION SYSTEM
An ocean wave actuated gravitational desalination apparatus and system for generating potable water comprised of, a box platform with a piston pump at sea level, an inverted prism shaped subterranean water tank below sea level, and a desalination processing structure above sea level. When the ocean waves pass over the top of the box platform, the piston pump is raised to open a set of valves to let the sea water into a cylindrical chamber. When the piston goes down, the valves close and a second set of valves open to release the water into the subterranean tank to be further released into containers on a carousal structure that move on rails by gravity. The water in the containers is emptied into holding and pre-filtration tanks and forced through filters into a pipe by the actions of a hydraulic oil pump and the filtered water released for storage and use.
Windshield washer reservoir conditioner
A system and method of collecting and conditioning rainwater and other moisture, such as dew, from a windshield of a vehicle and utilizing the collected fluid to replenish the fluids in the windshield washer reservoir. A collection funnel is positioned on a vehicle in order to collect rainwater and other moisture. Rainwater and other fluids from the collection funnel are directed to a conditioning cartridge capable of treating the fluid with a surfactant to form a mixed fluid. An anti-freeze material may also be added. The mixed fluid is directed to the pre-existing windshield washer reservoir.

Systems and methods for data center cooling and water desalination
The present disclosure provides systems for data center cooling and water desalination. In some aspects, the systems include a data center having a water cooling subsystem configured to receive cool water and output warm water and a desalination plant co-located with the data center and configured to receive and desalinate the warm water. Aspects of the invention also include methods for cooling a data center using a water cooling subsystem and desalinating water with a desalination plant that is co-located with the data center.
Antimicrobial Toilet with Electrolyzer
The antimicrobial toilet includes one or more pairs of electrodes positioned below a water line when the hydraulic circuit is at equilibrium. The pairs of electrodes may be connected to a power source by electrical wires. In some embodiments, the electrodes are positioned on the inner wall of the toilet bowl and in some embodiments, the electrodes are positioned within the siphon tube. In some embodiments, the electrodes are metal strips and in others they are circular. When actuated, an electrical current passes through the toilet water between the electrode pairs resulting in disinfected water. Some embodiments include a pump and water conduit which transfers disinfected water to areas above the water line and emits the water to wash areas of the toilet.
Low energy fluid purification system
A low energy fluid purification system and method of implementation including some embodiments having a vacuum-rated first chamber placed in or near a body of water with higher temperature near the surface and lower temperatures at greater depths. The vacuum-rated first chamber holds a quantity of non-potable water and a low pressure area less than or equal to the water's vapor pressure. Vaporization occurs when the higher temperature surface water is brought into contact with the low pressure area. A tubular vapor transport passage allows the vaporized water to pass to a lower temperature and lower pressure condensation chamber. The lower temperature condensation chamber is cooled by lower temperature water from a selected depth below the surface. As the temperature of the vapor lowers, the vapor will condense. This condensation is collected as a quantity of potable water. Additional embodiments and methods are also provided.

Seawater RO desalination by pneumatic power tapped from offshore ocean wave energy
Offshore ocean desalination apparatus for 1.5 million GPM/D seawater into drinking water by Reverse Osmosis using renewable energy stored energy of compressed air. Multiple desalination units were installed on the construction tower 50 feet above seawater level, with the tower moored to the ocean floor up to 100 meters deep and equipped with air pressurized tank, and two seawater supply tanks, providing 1000 psig air to the desalination unit's moving actuator, with seawater in container pressurized by said moving actuator to push drinking water through 2 micron RO membrane located in a filter plate. The filter plates with hundreds of filter elements, each of 2-inch diameter, are secured to six vertical walls of the seawater container, to the container bottom, and to the top moving actuator lower side. Seawater a pumped from 20 feet below seawater level using an Archimedes screw-type pump powered by a supersonic air turbine.
