💧 New solar-powered system produces fresh drinking water from seawater without chemical additives.
☀️ The technology uses black metal etched with lasers to absorb sunlight efficiently and a self-cleaning surface that separates salts.
💎 Leftover salts are transformed into useful materials, including lithium for rechargeable batteries, addressing both water shortages and mineral demand.

DESCRIPTION:
This water harvester can turn desert air into drinking water!
Nobel Prize-winning chemist, Omar Yaghi, invented a machine capable of harvesting clean water from even the driest air.
He’s scaled this technology up into units that can produce 1,000 litres of drinking water a day.
It can produce up to 1,000 litres a day using minimal energy and no centralised infrastructure!
The system designed works by using specially engineered materials that capture moisture from the air and turn it into drinking water.
Developed by his company Atoco, the units are about the size of a shipping container and can run entirely off low-grade thermal energy, which means they can operate even when electricity and water systems fail.
Yaghi says the technology could help communities hit by hurricanes or droughts, especially small island nations in the Caribbean where storms can knock out water infrastructure for weeks.
So solutions like this could be a lifeline for the 2.2 billion people worldwide that lack safely managed drinking water.
