Claim 0:
1. A method of distilling/desalinating water in a vacuum-applied multi-phase manner, the method comprising the steps of:
(A) providing at least one primary vessel, at least one vacuum apparatus, and at least one secondary vessel, wherein the primary vessel and the secondary vessel are in fluid communication with the vacuum apparatus, and wherein the primary vessel and the secondary vessel are in fluid communication with each other;
(B) providing a quantity of source water retained by the primary vessel;
(C) evaporating a first water portion off the quantity of source water and transferring the first water portion from the primary vessel, through the vacuum apparatus, and into the secondary vessel by generating a vacuum pressure inside the primary vessel with the vacuum apparatus;
(D) condensing and retaining the first water portion inside the secondary vessel as an ambient pressure is maintained inside the secondary vessel;
(E) freezing a second water portion from the quantity of source water within the primary vessel by generating the vacuum pressure inside the primary vessel with the vacuum apparatus;
(F) draining a liquid remaining portion of the quantity of source water out of the primary vessel, wherein the liquid remaining portion is located underneath the second water portion;
(G) transferring the first water portion from the secondary vessel, into the primary vessel, and onto the second water portion;
(H) melting the second water portion with the first water portion inside the primary vessel in order to form a quantity of purified water; and
(I) draining the quantity of purified water out of the primary vessel.
