Jellyfish Hose

What should be done to popularize seawater desalination equipment at a low price? This project is my conclusion. I was inspired by the venous valves in the veins of the lower limb of humans, which are oriented in the opposite direction to the siphon. However, this project is incomplete. I need your cooperation.

Plan 1

• The power source is wave power only

• Take in seawater from the water intake and prevent backflow with a structure similar to a duckbill valve

• A hose is used to transport seawater to a reservoir installed at a high position, and its potential energy increases the water pressure.

• Pass through reverse osmosis membrane

Plan 2

• Intake same as above plan

• Passing through a reverse osmosis membrane only with water pressure from wave power and marine propulsion.

• Storing fresh water in floating water bags

• Continue to tow the water bag and carry it to your destination

Intake structure

• The water intake is named jellyfish, and the valve part is named asterisk.

• Output this with a 3D printer and use silicone rubber as the material.

• The water intake has several holes for tying several anchors with ropes.

• There is an asterisk-shaped valve at the tip of the water intake, and it connects with a commercially available hose.

ToDo

I am looking for CAD design volunteers and funders. What I want to complete now is the CAD data of the water intake. It is under construction with FreeCAD. If you have a 3D printer, please test the performance of the water intake and publish the recorded video on YouTube. Please submit a pull request to fix the data.
