Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to find an innovative way to desalinate salt water and convert it into freshwater using a thermal heat source. Also, to try and develop an equation that could estimate the amount of freshwater that could be produced proportionate to the length of time the salt water was heated. The intention was to conduct an experiment that could be related to a real life application.
