Portable Device That Makes Seawater Drinking Water [Video]

At a time when we face greater droughts every year, our search for new sources of water continues. Although one of the biggest possible sources in this regard is the sea, it requires hundreds of thousands of dollars of investment to treat salt water meticulously enough to turn it into drinking water. But scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have succeeded in developing a device that will enable individual purification.

The new device, which is only the size of a handbag, turns seawater into drinking water. portable made it. Weighing less than 10 kilograms, the device requires very little power, contrary to what its complex appearance suggests. So the device A powerbank with fast charging support It can even be used with

It purifies with electricity instead of a filter:

The device distinguishes itself from all portable purification devices that have been released to date in the field of purification. Unlike other portable purification devices that require the water to pass through the filter, this device is used to separate particles from the water. from electricity takes advantage. Thus, the operating cost of the device decreases as it does not require filter replacement.

The newly developed purification device has the potential to be used in all areas with limited resources, such as communities on small islands, ships and long-term military operations, with the advantages of low energy need and only electrical filtering. Device, only 20 watts of power per liter It can purify 0.3 liters of water per hour. The resulting water has a quality above the standards of the World Health Organization.
