ACEIZE Tracking the current state of Science and Technology

This article was originally published on 7/5/2006 at smokincat.com. I am shutting down smokincat.com and consolidating at aceize . Yes, this is the prototype of my patent. Not very impressive, but it worked.

I had the first test of the patent pending Kontos Irrigation Desalinator last weekend. The device is looking a little bit crude, but it worked. The inner tube was filled with regular tap water and it evaporated, re-condensed, and made it's way into a little jar I had placed at one end of the outer tube. The outer tube measures about 5 feet, which is much, much smaller than the several miles of pipe that I would like to see employed at any one site. The inner tube is a little smaller at around 4.5 feet.

Hopefully within the next week or two I will be able to do more specific tests gathering information about how much water is re-condensed and deposited into my collection jar as well as environmental factors such as sunlight, temperature, and wind. Once I have some base line results established with tap water I want to choose a good weekend to take this show to the beach and run a test with actual salt water. Anyway, that's the plan. A quick picture follows - hopefully more will become available as my testing drags on.
