Please look at this diagram. It's a diagram of water desalination. I want to use it. My idea is to replace nuclear reactors and the gas currently used for energy production with solar panels or a concentrator. I would be grateful if you could suggest which direction to take

>>109098237Power from the sun is already a well-explored concept.
>>109098237>It's a diagram of water desalinationSure? It looks more ilke a nuclear reactor raising steam to power high and low pressure turbines. Strangely, I cannot see any recuperators, It is possible that waste heat drives some desalination in the lower 5 vessels but that is far from clear.
>>109098237boil water in a still, collect and cool the vapor which is now separated from the saltwhy did you make this stupid thread
>>109098237>another brown thread
>>109098237It will take 3X longer to desalinate with solar because gas fired and nuclear fired can run 24/7 but anything using a solar concentrator will only have 8 hours a day at best to boil water.
>>109099497What if we run wires through the middle of Earth and setup solar installations in various parts around the world? You fucking racist chud
>>109099407the bottom row of boiler things are fed "from sea" according to the zigger vodkarunes
>>109099497>solar concentrator will only have 8 hours a day at best to boil waterThis is wrong on so many levels.First of all, you will have closer to 12 hous a day for solar heating.Secondly, you do not need to boil the water, even warm water will evaporate, just use a cold surface to condensate the vapour.
>>109099497>It will take 3X longer to desalinateSo build 3x bigger and use some output buffering (which you needed anyway, trust me).You've got plenty of sun and plenty of seawater. Nobody gives a fuck about how long it takes for one water molecule to go through, they just care about gallons per day or possibly even per week.
