MIT using sunrays to make clean water
December 2, 2010 | Length: 00:01:42
MIT researchers Steve Dubowsky, Amy Bilton and Leah Kelly have created a solar-powered portable desalination system that could make clean drinking water available in countries that need it most. Using a process called reverse osmosis, the solar panel powers different pumps in the system that then force the seawater through a permeable membrane that filtrates the salt from the water. SmartPlanet shows you a time-lapse video sequence of the process.

RE: MIT using sunrays to make clean water
Campers & dsert dwellers have been doing this for hundreds - maybe thousands of years. We used to do it with tarps, now we use plastic jugs - it's old 'news'. Reinventing the wheel & calling it 'news' is not good practice.

PLS SHOW THE REVERSE OSMOSE SYTEM UTILIZED IN THAT OPERATION AND INFORM ITS CAPACITY,ENERGY CONSUPTION ,SPECIFICATIONS,AND NOMINATED ITS INDUSTRY PRODUCER AND IT COST AND ALSO INFORM THE COST OF THE SOLAR PANNEL UTILIZED AND ITS PRODUCER TKS LUCIANO ANDRADE -BRAZIL
