The Next Generation of Water!
The rate at which clean fresh water is becoming scarce is alarming. Researchers world wide are looking for ways to offset this by looking for alternative renewable sources of clean water. The "Zero Mass" company is looking at a place most of us wouldn't have thought of, the air. They are using hydro panels called "Source" which are basically solar panels, but one that is used to produce water instead of electricity. They do this by basically exposing substances in the panels that are hygroscopic (i. e substances that absorbs water from air when exposed) to the atmosphere. They take water from air, concentrate it in the panels then dispense it. They look like regular panels, but only the middle part contains the standard photovoltaic technology which produces electricity that powers the fans and communications inside the unit. The sides are made of proprietary porous material that generates heat. Another proprietary material inside the pa...
