[QUOTE="MODAT7, post: 250904, member: 13649"] Comparing it to solar panels means it doesn't have a very high output. Ocean water isn't pure salt water. It's likely that the nano pores would get quickly clogged up. Pre-filtering the salt water would help, but then there's still the issues of powering the pumps and mineral build ups. Evaporation is a more temperature differential process. General evaporation isn't useful. If it's hot enough, some of that heat causing evaporation can be captured for use. Most of the time, the heat isn't hot enough to do meaningful work. If it's direct solar thermal, parabolic reflectors can be used for concentrators, and those can be somewhat useful, at least if the sun's out. Think solar water heaters. If the water gets hot enough, it can be flashed to steam and turn a steam turbine for electricity, but these aren't very common nor DIY friendly. [/QUOTE]
