Seawater Pipeline and Passive Desalination System
Seawater Pipeline and Passive Desalination System
Idea Description
Responding to an overwhelming need for fresh water around the World, I am developing a Project Proposal to provide clean, fresh water to critical areas. The Seawater Pipeline can be deployed in various areas like the California Bay Area, Los Angeles to Las Vegas, the Sinai Peninsula, and Africa. Using innovative passive desalination techniques, the Salt will be removed from the seawater without the use of fossil fuels. The energy needs of the system will draw from a revolutionary non-toxic battery grid. The water itself will be propelled by renewable energy sources: Wind and Solar Energy. Once desalinated, the fresh water will be stored in storage swills for use in agriculture and homes.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
I will finalize the design phase and present blueprints to State, National and International agencies as a solution to potential droughts in their area. I will network with high level authorities to begin the first phase of deployment in their area. I will provide an interactive discussion forum to attain synergy with industrial, commercial and governmental organizations.
I will solicit funds for the deployment of a test facility in each region to begin the passive desalination process. The fresh water produced will further finance the extension of the seawater pipelines, making them virtually pay for themselves!
Vote for it now.
Great idea! Are you bottling the water?
Will this system connect to the existing underground river systems in the US?
Yes, we are planning on bottling the water. We are looking into further purification processes for the water, so that it will meet all the standards for Purified Water. As a promotional tool for the Seawater Pipeline, we will be selling deep rock, filtered, mineral water that meets and exceeds standards. Regarding the connection to underground river systems, the Fresh water swills will be connected only to end users. The system is sealed and self-contained to avoid cross contamination. Thanks for your comments. DJS
could you use tidal shifts and general surf action to power some of this facility? Might defray higher costs of other energy sources.
Yes, actually, there is definitely a power source in the ocean. We are comparing tidal generation systems that are currently developed that offer abundant energy potential from waves and tides. The biggest factor to consider is the effect of salt water on metallic components. We have a design that operates on portable barges, thus eliminating the turbulence factor that often affects the rotors on spinning underwater turbines. Thanks for your comment.
I support this kind of thinking and you have my vote , please consider Practical Solar for your support!
Thanks Frank, the referral to Practical Solar may be just what I am looking for.
