At a time when we face greater droughts every year, our search for new sources of water continues. While one of the greatest potential resources in this regard is the sea, it takes hundreds of thousands of dollars of investment to treat salt water minutely enough to make it drinking water. But scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have managed to develop a device that allows for individual purification.

The new device, which is only the size of a handbag, turns seawater into drinking water. portable made it. Weighing less than 10 kilograms, the device requires very little power, contrary to what its complex appearance might suggest. So the device A power bank with support for fast charging It can even be used with

It purifies with electricity instead of a filter:

The device distinguishes itself from all portable purification devices that have been released in the field of purification so far. Unlike other portable purification devices that require the water to pass through the filter, this device is used to separate particles from the water. of electricity uses. Thus, the operating costs of the device are reduced because no filter replacement is required.

The newly developed purification device can be used in all resource-limited areas, such as small island communities, ships and long-term military operations, with the advantages of low energy requirement and electrical filtering only. Device, only 20 watts of power per litre It can purify 0.3 liters of water per hour. The resulting water has a quality that is above World Health Organization standards.
