Gravity Desalination Plant ( copyright cc - creative commons "free to use", make build)
Modern society has a water problem. The following design system corrects the condition for Agriculture and Urban environments via gravity driven fresh water steam production from ocean water also producing excess electricity to then pump the water. The design then is also able to "plug in" to existing coal, Nuclear, or Natural gas Utility electricity producing power plants as the steam pressure is adequate to motivate the Utility Electricity fossil fuel powered equipment already in place.
This design is a clean energy zero emission power system to then clean water allowing agriculture to "sink" carbon as scrub grass roots or make arid land viable for farming. The "alternative energy" storage problem is then also solved by this design as "gravity" is relatively a constant convertible "force" that allows for the design's function to become cost effective.
The Gravity DeSalination system then allows for the fossil fuel power plants to then "run" on gravity causing clean electricity. The gravity desalination system then is able to power the current electrical grid. When used for inland "land based" power plant conversion... the water / water steam or heat transfer fluid cycle, then able to be made "closed loop" to not require constant inflow of water. A "cyclical steam cycle" with the condenser / refrigeration system also powered by gravity driven fuel less high voltage electricity.
The system does not burn the oil it is used to cycle work potential without "work potential" dissipated. The system cycles potential while obtaining work using gravity, pneumatic pressure and the physical characteristic of fluid dynamics in applied physics. The system then functioning by gravity, artificial equilibrium fluid return, the physical characteristics of fluid dynamics and by the electrical "re-introduction" of produced electrical current, to then "obtain" sufficient level of energy to desal ocean water at high volume, cost effective.

Description
The above design system uses the constant physical force of gravity to then clean and pump water up hill as steam while producing excess electricity due to the mechanical drive line implementing the "hydraulic draft effect" of a pressurized fluid. The oil "head weight" then causing high fluid pressure by gravity that traverses across a hydraulic drive impeller then traveling to a high speed hydraulic pump with rotational rate increase between the drive impeller, number 21 and number 37. The high speed hydraulic pump, number 37, then causes fluid suction at higher rotational rate incurred by the automatic gear selection transmission, with the "counter tilt" hydraulic impeller then canceling the mechanical resistance within the drive line by the oil tank fluid "head weight" being greater than the system's operating mechanical rotational resistance including the magnetic field resistance within the Magneto and high voltage generator, number 31.
The system then, when in rotation, produces electricity able to then be "re-introduced" to the system's velocity rate increasing the level of excess electricity. The excess electricity then sent / used by the total system other electrical components. The system is then "governed" by the design's logic electronic circuits to then "regulate" the system for safe operation (contains safety all stop features). The rate of "rotation" is then measured by the R.P.M. sensor that sends signal to the design electronic circuits to increase / decrease the system's operational parameters.
Start Sequence;
The pneumatically pressurized oil tank, number 8, exhaust oil flow valve is then opened by sheathed pull cable to allow pressurized oil to traverse across number 12 causing fluid suction by hydraulic pump, number 13, producing negative fluid "pressure" / "suction", yielding rotation of hydraulic impeller, number 21 with valve number 17 then also opened in tandem by sheathed pull cable upon the operator control panel upon number 25.
When number 27 is then rotating the attached torque converter and automatic gear selection transmission causes electrical current production in the system Magneto and main high voltage electrical generator allowing for the electrification of the drive line electric motor, number 18 to increase total rotation. When the automatic gear selection transmission (number 28), has then passed 1:2 in rotational rate with the hydraulic pump, number 37, then rotating twice the rate of the "draft hydraulic impeller", number 21, the "draft" impeller causes drive line rotational speed advancement. The oil tank fluid "head weight" then causes speed advancement as well and is of great enough weight to "nullify" / "counter act upon", all mechanical and electromagnetic resistance within the total system.
The electric clutch, number 22 is engaged and causes the hydraulic valve at the inlet of number 21 to increase the oil flow by opening. Number 21's inlet valve does not completely close to prevent "fluid lock" and is electrically adjusted by the system's electronic circuits to control the total system speed. The system's speed regulation is then obtained by the logic circuit board referencing the drive lines r.p.m. sensor that is reporting, via signal, to the logic processor electronic circuits to also then adjust the divergence valve, number 17, to "control" the "hydraulic draft effect" by changing the direction of oil flow. ie... direction of fluid traveling to the high speed fluid pump, number 37
Because the hydraulic pump, number 37 is "pulling" hydraulic fluid in a rigid flow pipe (suction advancement), with the oil traversing across a preceding hydraulic impeller, number 21, the "hydraulic draft" of a pressurized fluid in the confinement of a rigid flow pipe then allows for the oil "fluid head weight" to increase the system speed when a ratio gear set is between the components in the drive line. This produces inclined levels of excess electrical current. The electric "re-introduction circuit" / "throttle circuit", that then directs electricity produced by number 31 to number 18 and causes the system to reach operating speed. The "launch point" of magnetic "pressure" within number 18, "is then" applied atop the fluid rotation advancement rate.
Number 18 also acts like "flywheel storage" for "inertia" as the weight / density of the electric motor's armature is then increasing in rotational speed. The generated electrical current then electrifying the total design's other electrical functions for the total system to function with the logic mapping electronics keeping the design within it's operating parameters.
*Note - valve oil inlet to number 21 then with "by-pass" flow pipe to number 17 used in hydraulic draft speed
control - causes the oil to "by-pass" the hydraulic draft impeller, number 21, and enter
valve, number 17, allowing oil to flow directly to the high speed oil pump, number 37.
* Note - high speed rotating components then will not exceed their service parameter material selection properties
ie... material selection critical centrifugal elongation due to high rotation speed is a rate of revolution
limit factor - external casing then projectile proof.
* Note - Saltwater pump, number 62, has a reverse water flow function to then inject water into the
system ocean water intake to "blow out" any sand or debris that has accumulated in the submerged
salt water intake system due to high tide or storm advent...
* Note - the "rotary type" air pump is then sealed lubrication so that oil ( food grade lubrication oil ), soy / vegetable
will not enter the air compression chambers - the material selection then of a stainless steel
cylinder compression rings and ceramic lined compression cylinders
* Note - the design may be fitted with an electrolysis system to extrapolate O2 ( Oxygen) for atmospheric
Ozone layer repair should it become required due to high energy advent !
