Desalination System Could Produce Freshwater Cheaper Than Tap Water

MIT engineers and collaborators developed a solar-powered desalination device that avoids salt-clogging issues of other designs. Engineers at MIT and in China aim to turn seawater into drinking water with a completely passive device inspired by the ocean and powered by the sun. A tilted ten-stage desalination system prototype is located into a “boat-like” reservoir. […]
