Introduction
MIT’s new battery solar desalination system is a new system made by engineers at MIT and in China that makes drinking water easier and is powered by the sun. MIT makes sea water into fresh water, which is also cheaper than tap water. In this article, you will learn how it works, how it helps the world, and more.
How Does It Work?
MIT battery removes salt from the sun’s heat. It evaporates the water and leaves the salt behind. When this happens, water vapor is condensed and collected into fresh, pure drinking water. This method produces 4 to 6 liters of drinking water per hour, which can make water cheaper than tap water.
How Does It Contribution To Earth’s Health
Some people around the world don’t have access to clean drinking water. This method is cheaper and can fix this problem by efficiently converting saltwater into clean water, this is necessary for the regions that have severe water shortages. This makes it hard for people to find clean water to drink, with this method getting drinking water is way easier.
Conclusion
To sum up what has been said, MIT’s solar desalination system is a step forward in solving the problems of water shortages and environmental health. Using solar energy and battery storage, can provide fresh water in places in need. This sustainable method shows how we can do it without harming the planet.
