The new machine uses a hollow rotating cylinder to speed up the evaporation process. engineering

The technology takes advantage of solar energy for the distillation of water, potentially allowing dirty water to be made clean for large parts of the world suffering from water shortages — the UN, for example, states that The team says that their method could significantly reduce the cost of desalination and multiply production volumes by four, they explained in a paper inTheir method utilizes a cylinder that is slowly rotated by a solar-powered DC motor.

"The performance improvement factor of the created solar distiller, compared to traditional devices, was at least 280% in the relatively hot months and at least 300% and 400% in the cooler months , at the same time, the cumulative water distillation capacity reached 12.5 l/m2 per day in summer and 3.

Another desalination device designed by Henry Glogau recently won the Lexus Design Award this year. His device doubles up as a no-cost skylight and is able toThe UrFU researchers next hope to increase the performance of their solar distiller, reducing the operating costs wherever possible so as to allow their machine to help in regions that are desperately in need of clean drinking water.

Hi, I am a structural engineer from Iran who have many ideas. I have summarized some of my ideas on my twitter(I suggest look at the idea of generating electricity by gravity). I want to work with companies and investors. Do you want to cooperate?

Seems like an obvious solution to me to evaporate more water from salt water! We need more engineers working on this problem. WaterShortage desalination
