2. Slingshot (water vapor distillation system) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slingshot_(water_vapor...

   Slingshot is a water purification device created by inventor Dean Kamen. [1] Powered by a Stirling engine running on a combustible fuel source, it claims to be able to produce drinking water from almost any source [2] by means of vapor compression distillation, [3] requires no filters, and can operate using cow dung as fuel.

3. Evaporator (marine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaporator_(marine)

   This steam evaporator aboard HMS Belfast distilled up to six tons of fresh water per hour for the boiler and for drinking. An evaporator, distiller or distilling apparatus is a piece of ship's equipment used to produce fresh drinking water from sea water by distillation. As fresh water is bulky, may spoil in storage, and is an essential supply ...

4. Multiple-effect distillation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple-effect_distillation

   Multiple-effect distillation or multi-effect distillation (MED) is a distillation process often used for sea water desalination. It consists of multiple stages or "effects". In each stage the feed water is heated by steam in tubes, usually by spraying saline water onto them.

   They are also called point-of-use water treatment systems and field water disinfection techniques. Techniques include heat (including boiling), filtration, activated charcoal adsorption, chemical disinfection (e.g. chlorination , iodine, ozonation , etc.), ultraviolet purification (including sodis ), distillation (including solar distillation ...

6. Atmospheric water generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_water_generator

   State-of-the-art AWG for home use. An atmospheric water generator (AWG), is a device that extracts water from humid ambient air, producing potable water. Water vapor in the air can be extracted either by condensation - cooling the air below its dew point, exposing the air to desiccants, using membranes that only pass water vapor, collecting fog, [1] or pressurizing the air.

   The machine could supply approximately 23 US gallons (87 L; 19 imp gal) of water per hour. "The samples of water subjected to analysis were collected at different times directly from the Patent Apparatus on board ship... and the results of my experiments with the water distilled in Alexander Chaplin & Co.'s are conclusive in showing that is of ...
