how would you turn salt water into drinking water if?

Question

if you were stranded on an island in the middle of no where or raft out in sea?

also would the blood of raw fish be a sufficient water source?

Answer 1

I would rig something up with sand and like a filter thing(leaves and rubbish)

Answer 2

If you were stranded in the middle of no where or a raft out in sea, you will die in 3 maybe 4 days. You cannot turn enough salt water into fresh water to save you. If just "anyone" could do this, the world would not be worried about dwindling fresh water supply. The fact that people pay for water and that professionally engineered salt water treatment plants cost tens of millions of dollars to build and millions to operate says that even MacGuyver wouldn't be able rig anything useful.

P.S. Fish blood is salty and not a good source of water (0.9% salinity).

Ok the best way then it will be vaporization you have to bring some salty water and have them in the sun and then have a sheet over them Ofcours have some space between the water and the sheet plastic sheet Ofcours and it will be better if transparent and wait till the sun vaporize the water that will condense in the sheet and then you can have sweet water and if this doesn’t work there is also another idea you got to get smooth small stones and dig a little hole in the earth and clean the stone so good and then have them in the hole and be sure to do that at the noon so they get heated from the sun and also be sure to have a plastic sheet beneath them and leave them all the night and in the morning you will find drops of water that you can accumulate in the plastic sheet

Answer 4

The secret to this question is that only the pure water evaporates, not the salt from it too. You can find a shell (or something similar) and fill it with salt water. Then you take another shell, much smaller and you let it float on the ater from the big shell. You cover them with a big leaf and you put something cold (a little rock for example or a piece of metal) on the leaf above the small shell. The water from the big shell evaporates and the vapors will depose on the leaf above. When they reach the part of the leaf where there is the small shell they will turn again into liqid water, without salt, and this water will fall into the small shell. Enjoy your drinking water!

Answer 5

It depends what I had to hand. But lets say I had a cup to drink out of and a piece of clear plastic. I dig a hole in the beach. Put my cup in the hole and push it in to the wet sand. The sand contains salinated water. I cover the hole loosely with the clear plastic - and put a stone in the centre and stones around the edge to secure it. the clear plastic is now like an upside down pyramid - under it - my cup. The water in the sand evaporates (greenhouse effect) distills on the plastic - runs down to the apex of my upside down pyramid and drips in to my cup. An hour later - my cup contains de-salinated drinking water!

Answer 6

very ordinary distillation technique. Take a pot of saltwater with a lid. Make a splash hollow in the lid and connect some variety of tube that isn't soften into the hollow. warmth the pot with salt water and the water that comes from the vapour out of the tube is clean water. there'll be salt in the backside of the pot. the subject is that to try this for a huge volume of water does take diverse potential. on the plus area, the by utilising product is sea salt. maximum people will inform you it won't be in a position to be performed simply by fact simply by fact the companies that bottle water elect us to think of that that we ought to consistently shop determining to purchase bottled water.

Answer 7

you'd probably have to rig out a distiller. you'd get two containers that you could seal and a tube. You'd boil the saltwater in one container and the steam would travel into the other one through the tube. it would then later condense into water. you might have to do this twice.

You would be farkled, Cuz there is no way you can do it with stuff just laying around. You have to have special membranes for reverse ozsmosis.

Answer 9
