ABSTRACT:
A system and method are disclosed for desalinating sea water. The system includes an energy source such as a laser 13, and a container 19 (partly or wholly transparent) for holding the sea water, the sea water having sodium and chlorine ions and a solvent (H.sub.2 O) with a predetermined dielectric value. The system applies a predetermined amount of energy, in the form of a laser beam 35 through the transparent container 19, to the seawater substantially at a resonance frequency of the solvent, for reducing the dielectric value of the solvent and vibrating the ions, permitting them to combine and precipitate out of the seawater, thereby desalinating the seawater. To increase the effect of the beam 35, the system includes a pair of mirrors 15,17 for reflecting the beam back and forth through the sea water. The method employed by the system provides for holding the sea water in a container and applying energy to the sea water, at a resonance frequency of the solvent, sufficient to reduce the dielectric value of the solvent and vibrate the ions.
