CA 2378231

A mechanical water still (10) includes an imprevious dome-like upper surface (12) and a membrane base (14) that is coupled (26) to the imprevious dome-like structure (12) to form, when inflated, a chamber (20). The membrane base (14) supports a water pervaporation process therethrough. A water collection well (16) has an opening into which water droplets condensed from the water pervaporation process collect. The water collection well (16) is sited within the membrane base (14) and generally extends outwardly and downwardly from the membrane base (14), as shown (in fig.1). In use, a contaminated water source (24) is brought into, ideally, complete contact with the membrane base (14), with the water collection well (16) arranged both to act as a heat sink into the water source (24) and to provide stability to the water still (10) when floating and immersed in the water source (24).

L'invention concerne un alambic à eau mécanique (10) comportant une surface supérieure voûtée imperméable (12) et une base membranaire (14) couplée (26) à la structure voûtée imperméable (12) afin de former une chambre (20) à l'état gonflé. La base membranaire (14) est conçue de manière à permettre un processus de pervaporation de l'eau au travers de celle-ci. Un puits collecteur d'eau (16) présente une ouverture destinée à collecter les gouttes d'eau issues de la condensation du processus de pervaporation de l'eau. Ce puits collecteur d'eau (16) est disposé dans la base membranaire (14) et s'étend généralement vers l'extérieur et vers le bas à partir de la base membranaire (14) (Fig.1). Lors de l'utilisation, une source d'eau contaminée (24) est mise de préférence entièrement en contact avec la base membranaire (14), le puits collecteur d'eau (16) étant disposé de manière à fonctionner d'une part en tant que dissipateur de chaleur dans la source d'eau (24), et à assurer d'autre part la stabilité de l'alambic à eau (10) lorsque ce puits flotte et est immergé dans la source d'eau (24).
