This is very nice and simple system, thank you for sharing,


I was suggested to use HHO as heat (burns 3000 C and more) and with a
bit of research this is what I got:
http://gentlejunk.net/projects/tiki-index.php?page=Is+sea+water+drinkable

desal unit is only symbolic, needs to be tested with HHO flame which has
to be dispersed and kept at 100 C.

this looks like a lot of energy converting and loosing it in the
process, and your idea is much more ecological and cheaper to make.

Did you test how it works?
