Abstract:
1. A portable purifying system comprising, in combination: a) first reservoir means, comprising a first configuration, at least one upper rim portion, at least one open top portion, and at least one side wall, for collecting, through said at least one open top, at least one mixture comprising a first ratio of at least one desired material and at least one second ratio of at least one undesired material; b) gravity means for using gravity to separate differing densities among the at least one first ratio of the at least one desired material and the at least one second ratio of the at least one undesired material; c) retrieving means for retrieving, from at least one selected location in said first reservoir means, a higher ratio of the at least one desired material; and d) outlet means for providing an outlet spill outside said first reservoir means; e) wherein said retrieving means comprises debris separating means for separating debris from the at least one desired material; f) wherein said first configuration of said first reservoir means comprises said gravity means; and g) wherein said retrieving means comprises substantially vertical cylinder means for forming at least one passageway from the at least one selected location to said outlet means, said outlet means being at least as high as at least one location adjacent said upper rim portion of said first reservoir means.
