POLYPHASE ALTERNATING CURRENT BI-IONIC PROPULSION SYSTEM FOR DESALINATION AND MARINE TRANSPORTATION

摘要

A system and method of using a traveling electric wave generated by means of intertwined helically wound electrodes powered by a polyphase alternating current, such that the traveling electric wave attracts both anions and cations in alternating bands of anions and cations, providing an electromotive force for these ions along the direction of travel of the electric wave, thus moving a concentrated ionic flow for the purpose of propulsion or removal of ions from a fluid.
