Abstract:
1. A method of efficient desalination of saltwater and/or separating saltwater into salt and water, comprising the steps of: a. Providing saltwater to a centrifugally rotating body with a non-horizontal axis of rotation and generating by the centrifugal forces of said rotating body streams of speeding saltwater droplets that fly into the air away from said rotating body, briefly evaporate, drop the salts, and then re-condense into salt-free water or into water with a reduced amount of salt, without using nozzles and pressure pumps to generate said streams, and without using reverse osmosis membranes; and: b. Using a separate device around the rotating body to collect the re-condensed water separately from the salts.
