Engineers develop ‘innovative’ solar-powered device that turns seawater into potable water: ‘Even cheaper than tap water’
The motion of the ocean and a little sunlight are the secrets to a new tool for desalination of saltwater into drinkable H2O that’s cheaper than water from a tap, a recent study reports.
MIT engineers and collaborators developed a prototype that takes inspiration from ocean circulation patterns called thermohaline currents and reproduced these “in [a] small box,” MIT News reports.
