US 6,635,149 B1 · Water purification system

Abstract

A water purification system and method for residential or commercial application having a first support structure coupled to a water supply having a first heat source of sufficient magnitude to change the water into steam, thus abandoning any insoluble material dispersed within the liquid. The steam is further heated in a second support structure to form a substantially gaseous vapor and exposed to a second heat source of sufficient magnitude to super-heat the vapor to a temperature capable of destroying most, if not all living matter. Preferably, the second heat source is an electrical field of sufficient voltage to increase the temperature of the vapor in excess of 2000° F. The super-heated vapor is then allowed to condense to form potable water. This system may be powered by a standard 120 volt outlet found in the home.

Dependent claims

A water purification system comprising:

a) a first water heating apparatus coupled to a water supply, said first water heating apparatus receiving water from said water supply, said first water heating apparatus comprising a first heat source sufficient to vaporize said received water substantially upon contact of the water with said first heat source;
and
b) a support structure coupled to said first water heating apparatus, said support structure receiving said vaporized water, said support structure comprising a second heat source;
wherein said second heat source comprises a corona field generating an electrical field sufficient to superheat said water vapor to a temperature to combust organic contaminants.
