Unlimited Fresh Water: Can MIT's Breakthrough Save Us?

Wait for it.... oh someone bought the patent and locked it away for about 150 years.

That's great innovation. Too bad they could not make salt float at water surface. Maybe with a frequency.

Ok lost me on how fresh water goes thru the salt water in the tank and permeates the hydrophilic membrane to collect in the bottom tank??? Salt water brine is denser and should prevent that from happening.

All Bollocks re. planetary water issues AND weather issues.

The trouble is, this technology will never give us what we want from salt water - too much brine waste left over. However, wise use of the fresh water we have available plus this technology could possible double or triple what we already have. A large percentage of our "fresh" water is compromised by pollution from many sources, but if that pollution could be taken out of our bad water, then we would have enough fresh water forever. That is: clean up our waste water and polluted water for consumption. Be smart with what we have and don't bang your head against improbable
salt water conversion.

Your introduction is too long. You wasted more than half of our time telling us what we already know.

After the proces (extra)salt water is going back to the sea??

Bed membership?
No.

"My partner" Why not just say boyfriend?

Sea levels are NOT rising! SMH.

You can google how to pronounce words. Surprised more people don't know this.

Carabas is like 4 corners but for the world

Check out condensation of high humidity vapor above the oceans

Why not dry out the super saline water and make sea salt out of it. A very marketable product.

Fast forward to 11 minutes. The beginning is justs bs and advertising.
How much water does this device produce?

Ok, if the 'sea levels are rising' (which they've done throughout the earth's entire history, after falling) then why are they worried about fresh water if all their atolls are going to soon be submerged coral reefs ie gone, under water..... Obvious Common Sense.

US tap water is ten times more expensive than water in the islands surrounding Australia. Also this isn't revolutionary technology, we have been displaying prototypes like this, myself included, since the 1980's.

All of the countries and regions that suffer from water scarcity also suffer from food and other resource scarcity. Their problems can be solved by using condoms, not pouring trillions of dollars into trying to help them breed exponentially and irresponsibly. If you are in a resource poor country, having 18 children to 4 women is kinda a dick move. And you probably should go to prison for it. Heck I think if you're in the first world and you have 18 children knowing full well you can't take care of them you should go to prison for it.

...aaaaaand the salt comes out of the device where?

The climate controlled bed kit subscription model is such a scam

Does that mean I can live in the ocean on a boat?? Who's gonna tax me if I'm on a boat???? - John McAfee, allegedly. Before he didn't kill himself.

Cheaper than tap water my ass, I'll believe it when it's actually put in use in the real world.

Still looking for a place that sells these prototypes

It really shouldn't be limited even on normal earth. Geographically it the big problem. Global Warming now helping. We had an invention here, not sure why it wasn't taken up. Just used simple chemical interaction, through a filter. It saddens me, our water here is so damaged by Industry. :( I will follow up, whilst my country has a 188 Billion problem here. (Wages before infrastructure), but 1/2 our G.D.P. Thank you, are you involved in anyway? P.S. NZ, we only have .2% on surface. Plus dirtied, plus.. Whilst having so much pure, due to great Aquifers. :) I will Pioneer water ahead of everything, in the life equation. :)

Sam Kinnison had the solution. They don't need fresh water technology. They need luggage!

Ooof he's gay

Focus on the technical side and get to the point instead of making the viewer feel sorry for a 3rd world country. The price of tap water includes the water tower and piping to distribute it, and ongoing replacement of parts and labor. So the device can only operate for 180 hours without maintenance?

Green light at a 45 degree angle uses less energy to produce fresh water and at the same time it cools the air around it producing a cooling effect. This is the latest method from MIT.

lost me at partner

I think the ability to clean dirty water would go even farther to allow homes to reuse all of their water waste. This allows the water tables to last much longer and make desalination less necessary.

I wonder what the upper limits of scalabity are for this thing.

Every desalination plant is a salt factory. Why would you throw the brine away and harm the environment?

KIRIBATI IS THE ALL BLUE!!!

thats nice. u forgot to mention that the water from sea has also lots of other problems that need to be remove. i wonder if this solution remove those too. probably a good part of them but i wonder if all of them

Enery engineer here. The amount of salt left after desalination is still the same. Only difference is how concentrated in salt brine water is. Other than this, the system looks interesting. Need to go through proof of concept and scale it up. Water scarcity is a big issue and solving it would represent a huge step up in human development.

Even this channel has sadly conformed to the false Anthropogenic Global Warming narrative. Fact: Sea levels are NOT rising. Actually they are declining due to the SUN now being in a Grand Solar Minimum. And sea levels will continue to decline for hundreds of years from today. Approximately 500 years into the future, the coastline of Florida will extend 400 miles from what it is today.

You can filter water as fast as you can pump it, thru ten tons of dumb, and get pure water. Unlimited amounts of dumb available. And its free....

They keep pushing the bs of "rising sea levels" not even an inch over the past 200 years. Stop the lying! Obama isn't wrong buying beachfront properties. He knows ocean rise is bs sold to the deplorable's. Other super rich also own lots of very valuable beachfront mansions. ..They also fill the skies with CO 2 with their private jets. So much for "climate change" they sell us that they know is bs.

Good production but please get to the point much faster. You don't have to show all your knowledge in one video. I forgot the topic and doze off

As a bonus because they are using the sun, they get extra evaporation du to the photomolecular effect also discovered at MIT.

Ziroth is a MASTER at not getting to the point.

What's point... We've passed so many points of no return it's hopeless...

Sounds good, but I am slightly concerned about the lack of minerals if used for drinking.

It is possible to harvest the humid air that exists, at usually 100%, just offshore. This air is water vapour that already has no salt content. There is a team of researchers at the University of Illinois, led by Dr. Praveen Kumar, who already have a theoretical model, that just needs investment to build a working water extractor on a large scale.

Annoying. The video went 4/5 through before the MIT process was described. The extended length's only apparent purpose was to cram in more ads. Apparently, now advertisers are dictating the nature and format of video products.

How old is water?

If people consist of over 70% water, so when a person dies, they effectively "evaporate", water droplets return to the sky and gather in the clouds then rain down on the living. What a lovely cycle. ❤❤

So what steps are needed after 180hrs or for maintenance?
Been dreaming for years of a electric boat design that would use mostly solar and wind to be the primary fuel to desalinate and store hydrogen (For later use when it's not so windy or sunny at sea).

The maintenance part is what always drives cost up past just using diesel and funny how many " breakthrough" tech has these costly downsides that presenters never discuss.

Just saw another discussion that found out how light *presenter claimed green light at 540nm is key) is also at play at evaporation. A system that is better then heat alone but still energy intense to make desalinate water vs using salt water for catamaran boat size hydrogen production.

you should look up photomolecular effect
