☀️💧 Solar-powered desalination system is cheap enough to solve the world’s drinking water shortage
MIT and Shanghai researchers created a solar desalination system that transforms seawater into affordable drinking water, using only sunlight.
Engineers at MIT and Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China are working on an innovative solar-powered desalination system to convert seawater into drinkable water. The system aims to provide clean water more affordably than tap water.
In a study published in Joule, the researchers outlined their design for a passive desalination device. This system uses natural sunlight to heat seawater, promoting evaporation and leaving salt behind. The water vapor is then condensed into pure drinking water.
What sets this system apart from others is its ability to avoid clogging by keeping the salt in motion. Salt accumulation can be a major issue in desalination systems, but the team’s design ensures the salt is continuously flushed out instead of building up and blocking the system.
The potential impact is significant. The researchers estimate that a device about the size of a small suitcase could generate 4 to 6 liters of drinkable water per hour. This small-scale system could supply enough water to meet the needs of a small family. At this scale, it could even provide cheaper water than tap water, according to Lenan Zhang, a research scientist at MIT.
In 1983, America's biggest daytime talk show did something that's never happened since.
It spent an hour on a live debate on the DPT shot and vaccine mandates. Injured kids were in the studio, and the host asked what no host would dare ask today:
"Why does it have to be a law? Should we have the freedom to decide?"
🇺🇸 A Red Baron delivery worker went viral after snapping at a social media prankster who pretended to steal $10 from his phone via Apple Pay while he was working.
The father of four broke down over his exhausting schedule and financial struggles, prompting the internet to rally behind him. A GoFundMe has since raised more than $500,000, while Red Baron publicly backed the employee and confirmed his job is safe.
