Abstract: A water purification system for saltwater or otherwise polluted water. The system employs one or a plurality of tower like structures formed of a plurality of engaged modular individual boilers. Increased energy efficiency is obtained using rising heat from lower situated boilers in a communication with above situated modular boilers, through a channel surrounding the exterior of the stacked modular boilers. Incoming water is thereby subjected to a super heating process to render it potable and collected on exiting the top of the stacked modular boilers.

Abstract: An embodiment of the method commences with some initialization steps 10 and 11, which include defining parameters for first and second jackpots. A loop commences at steps 12 and 13 at which current values of the first and second jackpot prize pools are calculated. At step 14 the CPU 2 determines whether storage criterion has been met. If so, the process flow moves to steps 15, 16 and 17. If not, the process flow moves directly to step 18. At step 15 the current value of the second jackpot prize pool is stored as a "pending prize". Steps 16 and 17 effectively reset the second jackpot. At step 18 the CPU 2 determines whether the award criterion has been met. If not, the process flow loops back to step 12.  If so, the first jackpot prize pool is awarded at step 19, along with one or more of any pending jackpot prizes, in accordance with a jackpot prize distribution scheme, then the pending jackpot prizes are deleted. At step 20 the award criterion is redefined and at step 21 the first jackpot prize pool is reset, before the process flow loops back to step 12.

Abstract: The present invention is a method for decomposing a polymer material by chemically decomposing a polymer material containing a first monomer and a second monomer in a mixture of the polymer material with the first monomer or a derivative of the first monomer to produce a chemical raw material. A relationship between a proportion of number of molecules of the second monomer to number of molecules of the first monomer in a reaction system for decomposing the polymer material and the molecular weight of the chemical raw material produced in the reaction system is acquired in advance (S101). Subsequently, an addition mount of the derivative of the first monomer to be added to the polymer material is determined based on the above relationship (S102). The first monomer in the addition amount determined is then mixed with the polymer material (S103).
