Design Concepts;

I have had these ideas, for Desalinization & Air Filtration, in my head some time.

So, I decided to just sketch them and post the drawings. Obviously they are very rough, but they convey the general idea.

I have to wonder, with all this talk of going solar, why these concepts have not been developed further. Here we have whole systems built in sucking water out of the Colorado, when we have a whole ocean of water, yet California does not develop that resource for themselves and others. I won't go into the stupidity and selfishness involved in the political behavior, but I mention it in the context of that energy, which is destructive and wasteful, not being applied to innovation.

These sketches call for ocean water being transported, via pipeline, to the deserts, where the use of solar power can be applied to powering the pumps, and the evaporators that are in the system and use the force of nature to desalinate the salt water and to purify the air.

An added concept, not present in the drawings, would be a return pipeline, that would flush the hyper-salinated residue back into the ocean. 

There are many applications to each stage of this process. I suppose I may expand upon these ideas. But I'm posting these sketches in case I never get around to it.

The air filtration concept came to me back in the eighties when I was drowning in California air pollution.
