A system for processing a fluid by generating water vapor through forced compression and rotation in a vessel includes capturing sea water for use in desalination processing in the vessel. Any fluid processed in the vessel, including sea water, can be used to create water vapor that rises to an elevation under its own power. After condensing the water vapor to liquid again, the condensed liquid falls upon a hydro-electric generator to generate electricity that is stored for later use. Brine output from the system can be recycled for re-processing through the system to increase water vapor yield. The wet brine output may also be dried to produce dried brine for subsequent processing of salt and other minerals.

A system for the distribution of resources. The system includes a housing, at least one power generation source connected to the housing, a power control and distribution system and at least one water distillation device, wherein power from at least one power generation source powers that at least a water distillation device.

The present disclosure provides a system for extracting potable water from saline water. The system includes a pre-treatment unit configured to receive the saline water from a reservoir, and configured to heat the saline water to a predetermined temperature. An evaporator is coupled to the pre-treatment unit for receiving the heated saline water, and includes a housing for receiving the heated saline water, a porous material disposed in the housing and an evaporator gas port. The evaporator gas port routes gas into the housing via the porous material, and disperses to form gas bubbles. The gas bubbles induce turbulent motion within the housing for converting the heated saline water into the mixture of the water vapors and the concentrated saline water. Further, a condenser is coupled to the housing for receiving the mixture of the gas and the water vapors, and configured to condense water vapors to form potable water.

A method comprising the steps of flowing a flow of relatively cold fluid along at least one photovoltaic solar panel being heated by solar energy towards and into a fluid treatment device, at least heating the flow of fluid in a fluid treatment device to divide the flow of fluid into a flow of a first fluid part and a flow of a second fluid part, flowing the flows of the first fluid part and the second fluid part from the fluid treatment device along the flow of relatively cold fluid. Before entering the fluid treatment device the flow of relatively cold fluid is preheated by the relatively warm photovoltaic solar panel and the relatively warm flow of the first fluid part and the relatively warm flow of the second fluid part.

The invention is a system and method of use for the aircraft-based generation of usable water from atmospheric water vapor for storage and use within the aircraft.
