Patent ID: 7527711

Claim:
A desalinization device to be used on the shore of a body of water, comprising: a. a housing; b. a series of interconnected chambers within said housing; said series of interconnected chambers having at least one first chamber and at least one last chamber in said series, with each of said series of interconnected chambers having at least one upper temperature zone and at least one lower temperature zone, each of which may be of a different temperature from other of said at least one upper temperature zones and said at least one lower temperature zones of other of said series of interconnected chambers; c. a generally vertical wind shaft connected to said housing, said shaft designed to create an at least one Venturi effect on an air entering said housing at a bottom shaft portion of said shaft, and said shaft having an upper shaft portion and said bottom shaft portion, said upper shaft portion having an opening into said at least one first chamber and said bottom shaft portion having an opening; d. each of said series of interconnected chambers having an upper zone and a lower zone, containing said at least one upper temperature zone and said at least one lower temperature zone and each of said series of interconnected chambers having a plurality of sides, a ceiling, and a bottom, said bottom is located within said lower zone and serves as a water collection basin; e. a blackened surface, wherein said blackened surface is heated by absorption of solar energy, wherein said blackened surface is connected to said bottom shaft portion and said opening of said bottom shaft portion, said blackened surface is in contact with an external body of water that washes over the blackened surface by wave action and said blackened surface absorbs solar energy and evaporates a water from said external body of water and heats said air, causing said air to rise causing said air to move into said opening of said bottom shaft portion; f. a water drainage throughway at said bottom of said lower zone of said series of interconnected chambers, said water drainage throughway having a termination end, and said water drainage throughway allows gravity to drain said water from said water collection basin; g. an air exhaust port connected to said last chamber of said series of interconnected chambers, said air exhaust port expels said air that has passed through said series of interconnected chambers and out of said last chamber and said housing and creates said at least one Venturi effect, as said air leaves said desalinization device roughly to match a velocity of said air entering said desalinization device; and h. at least one water reservoir, said at least one water reservoir connects to said termination end of said water drainage throughway and retains said water.
