I thought that would get someone going.
Of course it is mere custom that N is the top of the map.
Just you wait till the magnetic poles reverse again then we will see who goes under and who is on top!!

It is the photons striking water molecules on the surface that is the most active mechanism, not the temperature of the water. (somewhere I have an article on this in a global warming post... )
That is something I did not know
So microwaves and what else would 'excite" water??.
A mirror surface would not help?
Would one - 100 of of these?

This desalinator set up in the diagram is also workable to treat gray water; sludge will develop in the pan rather than salt. (Prolly a salty sludge. )
I have been wracking my brain to see if you could have a continuous channel of salt water, washing though one channel with collectors on either side. My old nursery igloo-hot- house gave me that idea. Unfortunately I can't draw for nuts.
This is not quite what I had in mind, but you may be able to see where i am coming from.

This one is a puzzle too. Far too complex.

This ancient air water harvesting technique is amazing
