Figure 1
The spinning feed screw pulls water up to the top of the incline.
Figure 2
At this point, the water will fall down the back side into the large water tank behind it.
Figure 3
At the bottom of the tank is a carbon nanotube membrane. The pores of this membrane are so small that the salt ions can’t fit through and are therefore left on the tank side of the filter.
Figure 4
On the side of the tank is a door through which build up waste can be wiped off of the membrane floor.
Figure 5
Under the membrane is a decline that will cause the desalinated water to flow out from under the tank and through the taper, and out the back to be used.
