Water desalination apparatus

An apparatus for desalination of water, the apparatus comprising:

• a housing defining by a base portion, a wall structure extending upwardly from the base portion and a cover enclosing the wall structure, collectively defining an enclosed chamber to receive and contain non-potable water, wherein, the housing is defined with a heat transfer surface and a condensation surface, and
• at least one thermoelectric module disposed in the housing and operatively coupled to a power source, the at least one thermoelectric module comprising a first side and a second side,
• wherein the first side being coupled to the heat transfer surface and configured to generate heat for heating or boiling the non-potable water to induce vaporization and form water vapor, and the second side being coupled to the condensation surface and being configured to cool the condensation surface to condense water vapor into potable water, wherein both vaporization of the non-potable water and condensation of resulting water vapor occur within the enclosed chamber.
