Abstract
A water vapor collector assembly consists of a transparent cover and a box which will float on a water surface. The transparent cover allows sun rays to evaporate some water in the box which confines and collect the vapor condensates. The condensates will be conveyed away by a tube under the box. A water wave operated shaker, a wind operated knocker, inserts to increase the water condensation surfaces, and various kinds of the box are also introduced.
Claims2
A water vapor collector assembly comprising:
- a) a transparent cover and a box;
- b) said transparent cover being on top of said box;
- c) said box having a condensation chamber, a vapor chamber, and a floatation chamber;
- d) said vapor chamber having an opening on the bottom;
- e) said condensation chamber having a rim extruding from the bottom of said vapor chamber;
- f) there being a gap between said rim of said condensation chamber and the bottom of said transparent cover;
- g) said floatation chamber connected to said vapor chamber;
- h) the bottom of said condensation chamber having a short extruding tube which can connect with another tube;
- i) said box being able to float on a water surface;
- j) said condensation chamber having two extruding objects on its exterior surface for mounting a weight comprising at least an elongated object which can knock on the condensation chamber when there is a relative movement between said condensation chamber and said weight.
