Grid of clean water from fog
Producing water from thin air does not seem feasible, but experts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have done so. Their invention is a special membrane capable of capturing water from the early morning fog, to provide drinking water to remote areas.
The team said the system was tested in Chile and that it could have a significant impact on the lives of remote communities, especially in the mountains.
In order to levy water, experts put this special membrane on the hilltop in the misty and continuous area. Moisture in the dew condenses into water on the net and flows down to the water tank. Local people can use this water for drinking or for irrigation.
Water fogging technology is still relatively new, but the team says by changing the mesh spacing as well as the size and desiccation capacity of the mesh, the amount of water collected each day will increase. substantial.
Laboratory tests show that the above method has helped the membrane increase the yield of water up to 500%. "Water from frosts is naturally desalinated by sunlight and we are trying to develop a membrane that draws water directly from the air," said Gareth McKinley, who led the project.
