We describe in this paper a novel water distiller. The water distiller utilizes a thermal gradient device which spontaneously generates and maintains a thermal gradient through a process similar to osmosis. A theoretical derivation of the process which we call an entrochemical process is presented. The device utilizes the thermal
gradient to induce a flow of energy through the system. This flow of energy is used to induce the distillation of water. The device may be recharged using a low-temperature evaporation process. We describe the
design of the device, which has a distillation process that has an efficiency of 12.6 …
