ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for making fresh water from salt water comprising an air accelerator for generating a controlled wind-powered vortex of air in a tower located over a supply of salt water. The vortex of air creates a region of negative pressure over the salt water which causes fresh water to migrate up the tower to a condenser whereby the fresh water is condensed and collected in a collection through to then be used as a source of drinking water.
