But a new solar powered invention by award winning british.
Solar panels make fresh water.
Back of napkin math shows that your average solar powered home with 600 square feet of solar panels on.
Waste heat from the solar cell warms the saline water passing immediately beneath it the water evaporates passes through a membrane and condenses to yield clean water releasing heat in the.
The man behind this technology is zero mass water s ceo cody friesen a u s.
Diy solar desalinator distiller turn salt water into fresh water.
The solar panel converts solar energy to electricity which is used to power the process that drives the water back out of the collection material.
Using solar panels the system pulls moisture from the atmosphere to provide clean drinking water.
The kit delivers up to 5 liters 1 3 gallons of pure water per day in.
The water is then evaporated to remove.
This fresh water generator uses the atmosphere s moisture and heat to produce clean drinking water.
Zeromasswater has developed a solar panel kit source that uses its electricity to draw water from the atmosphere.
With only heat moisture and sunlight this water generator depending on the model creates 30 gallons to 1000 gallons of water each day and up to 2 300 lbs.
Such systems could potentially serve off grid arid coastal areas to provide an efficient low cost water source.
The solar panels not only power the aldelano solar watermaker tm during the day but also charge the battery.
This battery lasts up to 15 hours before needing a recharge.
