  The spinning feed screw pulls water up to the top of the incline.

• GIF

  Water will fall down the back side into the large water tank behind it.

• 

  At the bottom of the tank is a carbon nanotube membrane. The pores are so small, salt ions cannot fit through, leaving the water filtered

• GIF

  On the side of the tank is a door through which build up waste can be wiped off of the membrane floor.

• 

  Under the membrane is a decline that will cause the pure water to flow out from under the tank to be used.

Fusion-360

Avery used Fusion-360 to make a 3D model of the project. The desalinator uses the rotating feed screws to lead large amounts of water up an incline. At the top of this incline, the water will fall down the other side into a large water tank who's bottom is made of a carbon nanotube filter membrane. The carbon nanotubes in this membrane can be about the size of a single water molecule, and since salt and other possible contaminants are larger than water on the molecular level, they won't be able to fit through the nanotubes and will be left on the top side to be cleaned off later. The water that drains through the membrane will be clean and perfectly ready to be used during droughts for drinking, watering plants, and possible restoring dried up bodies if water.

HTML5 CSS3

Julian used HTML and CSS to make a website that is scalable from large monitors to phones. The site has pictures and gifs showing how the model to work as well as an "About Us" page. The website can be found here
