<div>I'm a retired Sea Captain/Scuba instructor presently living in Tampa Bay, launching a GoFundMe to pilot a completely mechanical, self-powered salt-to-fresh water system—designed to run around the clock with low maintenance.

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>My vision is to develop a mechanical desalination system capable of producing reliable drinking water in calm water locations.</strong> No grid, power, or fuel required. Once validated, license the technology to manufacturers for worldwide distribution.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>How it works: A lead bullet-shaped hammer free-falls in a composite tube, compressing a flexible diaphragm that drives high-pressure seawater into a small accumulator, delivering steady pressure to a standard reverse osmosis membrane; a recoil spring auto-resets the hammer and the process starts over and over again—200 gal/day per tube.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Use case: Modular community arrays (~20,000 gpd target) for island nations, coastal communities, clinics, and schools where power is unreliable.

<div>Background: In 2018, I was interviewed by West Palm Beach outlets for algae-removal equipment used during the Martin County toxic algae bloom (separate project).

New Salt to Fresh water Technology

Still $6,550 to go. Help us build momentum.
