DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. Identical elements in the various figures are identified with the same reference numerals.

[0028] Reference will now be made in detail to each embodiment of the present invention. Such embodiments are provided by way of explanation of the present invention, which is not intended to be limited thereto. In fact, those of ordinary skill in the art may appreciate upon reading the present specification and viewing the present drawings that various modifications and variations can be made thereto.

[0029] While this disclosure refers to exemplary embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the disclosure. In addition, many modifications will be appreciated by those skilled in the art to adapt a particular instrument, situation or material to the teachings of the disclosure without departing from the spirit thereof.

[0030] Therefore, it is intended that the disclosure not be limited to the particular embodiments disclosed.

[0031] Referring to FIG. 1, a schematic view of an embodiment of the present invention equipped with the vacuum mechanism is shown. Here, gutter 100 features pipe 101, plurality of vents 102, water receiving opening 103, water expelling opening 104, thermal storage system 105, evaporating steam vent 106, vacuum mechanism 107, shredding mechanism 108, plurality of closable vents 109, and compost dispensary 110. Pipe 101 has a first opening, a second opening, and a wall. Preferably the wall is disposed with plurality of vents 102. More preferably, the plurality of vents are proximate to the first opening, which is configured to receive water. In many embodiments the second opening is configured to be a water-expelling opening.

[0032] FIG. 2 shows a schematic view of an embodiment of the present invention. Here, portions of pipe 101 that are proximate to this second opening will preferably be thermal heating walls. These wall shall be capable of evaporating water at an increased rate when compared with the ambient environment. Using thermal energy to heat up the water to the point of evaporation, this portion of pipe 101 well facilitate the flow of water, particularly when large volumes of water are flowing through pipe 101. Preferably, there is a second portion of pipe 101 that is heated, and that area is located below plurality of vents 102. Water will be sucked through the pipe via a vacuum tunnel powered by a vacuum source. Preferably, this source is a vacuum pump, but other methods of creating a vacuum are acceptable for use with the present invention.

[0033] Referring to FIG. 3, a schematic view of an embodiment of the vacuum mechanism of the present invention is shown. Here, the vacuum and composting section of an embodiment of the present invention are shown. Vacuum mechanism 107, shredding mechanism 108, plurality of closable vents 109, and compost dispensary 110 are shown. Here, the present invention is used to draw water through this part of pipe 101 and is capable of cleaning any debris that enter the pipe 101. Preferably, shredding mechanism 108 is disposed within pipe 101. Vacuum mechanism 107 will draw and solid debris into this section of pipe 101 which will then by ground up by shredding mechanism 108. The smaller bits will fall down pipe 101 into the compost dispensary 110. The compost dispensary 110 is preferably removably attached to the present invention.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention also features a computerized self-diagnostic system that can be controlled from an internet-enabled mobile device. Preferably, the present invention will feature at least one camera which can feed an image to the mobile device. The present invention also comprises software for the mobile device to allow the gutter to troubleshoot and repair mechanical problems. Preferably, the software application will include step-by-step instructions for troubleshooting.

[0035] When introducing elements of the present disclosure or the embodiment(s) thereof, the articles a, an, and the are intended to mean that there are one or more of the elements. Similarly, the adjective another, when used to introduce an element, is intended to mean one or more elements. The terms including and having are intended to be inclusive such that there may be additional elements other than the listed elements.

[0036] Therefore, it is intended that the disclosure not be limited to the particular embodiments disclosed.
