Solar Dehumidification System
The following design system is a combined hot water electricity cold water producing de-humidification system that can increase the hot water output by a solar concentrating reflective dish. The system operates on gravity and vacuum to cause rotational motion of the contained power systems also yielding excess electricity.
The de-humidification system then operating initially by water weight and gravity causing lower
pressure (vacuum) to condense the environmental humidity yielding water. The units, when empty, are light weight and easy to install.

Description
This design is a water harvester able to make hot water and produces excess electricity for use external to the design. The system uses an inverted siphon by implementing high vacuum and off setting the weight return energy by inclined suction within the falling head weight of the humidification chamber. The falling head weight in the de-humidification chamber then increases the vacuum within the top of the water tube to then "tilt" the flow cycle into perpetual motion.
The rotation is then assisted by the produced electrical current reintroduced "applied to" the system drive line electric motor. This causes compound rotation and produces greater speed of the system. The speed incline the producing more electricity to be applied to the design functions. This includes heating the collected humidity. The system is filled with water with valve, number 19 in the closed position. The hand pump / vacuum pump then establishes the required "pre-start" vacuum level to allow the inverted siphon to "tilt" causing flow.
When number 19 then is allowed to open the electrical re-introduction circuit is then in the "on" position and current produced is then directed, via wire, to the system's electric motor and mechanical clutch to "allow" the clutch's engagement causing tandem drive line rotation.
The volume between the air intake system and the larger exhaust of the vacuum pump then has a tendency to produce cooler temperature to assist in water condensation from humidity. The lower / negative pressure then acting as a refrigerant. Currently refrigerants are causing upper atmospheric Ozone destruction.
The piston type vacuum pump, number 20, also causes this by intake air volume restriction valve lowering the pressure and temperature within the flow pipe. The flow pipe then of larger diameter vs. the diameter of the cooling grid flow pipes in the top of the inverted siphon water drive assembly.
The system is a high speed design system using explosion proof components of stainless steel. System electrical grounding is critical - flow pipes are electrically grounded, via electrical ground wire, to control static electricity correctly.
