A salt water desalinator 1 has a rotatable magnet 10 having a north and south polarity at the ends of a rotational axis creating a toroidal magnetic field, a motor 20 driving a belt 21 to rotate the magnet, and at least two adjacent, stacked water conduits 30A,30B which are adjacent the magnet. Each conduit has a water inlet 32A, 32B, a first water outlet 33A, 33B at a centre of each conduit and a second water outlet 35A, 35B around the first water outlet. In use salt water can be passed into each water inlet with said magnet rotating, wherein positive and negative ions in the water migrate away from the conduit centre so that water can be extracted from the first water outlet of each conduit which is ion free, and the remaining salt water being extracted from said second water outlet of each conduit. The magnet may be a permanent magnet or electromagnet. Each conduit may be u-shaped or a linear pipe and can be formed of plastics. A method of desalinating water is also claimed. |
