  1. is that a science and chemistry question.no because it may not pure and safe in content it may conatain othe rminerals like Magnesium .Pottasium totally dissolved solid @ 1% that and fluorine needs to be added to protect the teeth

    They have the primary sceonday and terrtiary process cogualtion sedimentation filtration chlorination and fluorination process from the chemistry textbook.Eric u should know ua re an engineer


  2. Are you talking de-salinated water?  Or CLOUDS?

  3. Of course, we call it "Distillation" (like a still), water is boiled in one vessel, steam is cooled through a coil, and deposited into another vessel, free of salts & solids, this will NOT eliminate "Toxins" though, just "Salts & solids".

  4. Short answer... yes. It is safe to drink for the most part. Sea water contains mostly inorganic salts and no salt or other liquids that have a lower boiling point than water. So, it is almost perfectly pure to drink after you desalinate it. The only thing you worry about is if your source water contained a lot of vegetation or animal leftovers, they might leave some bad stuff but well, i guess you just have to get some good sea water, instead of getting it from a stagnent area with tons of decomposing plant and animal matter.

    But you have to read a bit about drinking distilled water itself - pure distilled water can be highly hungry for minerals and isn't that healthy to drink, so to speak, somewhat. So, letting the water sit a bit (even better, put it on a clay pot or desolve some silica and other minerals - not too high funda stuff but just simple clean sand) may be better but not necessary.

    There are many deslination plants around the world that already do this. Especially middle east.

    I also read your comments on some of the answers - considering all that you have been told and responded to (like the hot water, mirror stuff), it is safe to drink.

    BTW, there has been a few projects with dew condenstation using multiple technologies. here is a link to one such trial - http://nariphaltan.virtualave.net/dew.pd... - this one makes the process a bit more interesting as it uses the cold water from deep ocean also.

  5. The droplets are Distilled Water and are safe to drink. Seawater itself is never safe to drink.

  6. s***n is good for you s***n water is even better .drink up
