Abstract

Water System #30 solar‑thermal, vortex‑enhanced desalination system designed for off‑grid, humanitarian, and disaster‑response water purification. The system uses concentrated solar heat, a cyclonic evaporation chamber, and a multi‑stage contaminant separation process to convert seawater or high‑TDS brackish water into potable water without membranes, high‑pressure pumps, or consumables.

To ensure stable operation under variable sunlight and high‑salinity conditions, the system integrates:

  • A phase‑change thermal flywheel to buffer solar fluctuations

  • A passive ultrasonic scale‑prevention ring to eliminate mineral buildup

  • A hydrophobic gyroid demister to prevent salt‑mist carryover

  • A high‑conductivity polymer condenser wrap to increase distillate yield

This disclosure provides a complete, manufacturable, field‑ready architecture testing, for hopefully producing drinking water in remote or resource‑limited environments.
