ABSTRACT:
Individually useable wave-powered pumping means, solar distillation means, and cyclonic wind generating means, together with a system which employs each of them for harnessing natural energy sources are disclosed. Wave and solar energy, together with Coriolis acceleration are employed in the system which includes a basin for water situated near an ocean, or other such body of water, having a surface subject to wave action. A solar energy trasmitting cover is provided over the basin for solar heating, and evaporation of water contained therein. Vapor condensing means are located adjacent the bottom of the basin, and an upwardly extending inlet conduit, or passageway, connects the condenser to a source of water vapor above the water surface of the covered basin. Cooled air, and distilled water, are discharged from the condenser to a location outside the covered basin. Due to Coriolis acceleration, air enters the inlet conduit to the condenser with a rotational, or cyclonic, motion and wind driven means are located in the rotating air path for drive rotation thereof. Cooling fluid for the vapor condensing means is provided by relatively cold ocean water pumped into the basin by wave operated piston pumping means which includes an elongated upright cylinder anchored to the ocean floor near the shore.
