https://www.afinalwarning.com/499087.html (Natural News) Designer Henry Glogau has developed a skylight that uses seawater to provide natural ambient light and clean drinking water.Ā The deviceĀ is charged by a mini solar panel during the day. The remaining sea salt is also funneled into a dozen zinc and copper batteries that power a strip ofĀ light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Glogauās device, which he dubbed Solar Desalination Skylight, is a finalist of the Lexus Design Award 2021. Itās a co...

Because H 2 can be produced from water (H 2O) without generating carbon emissions, developing H 2-compatible technologies has become a top priority. However, the road ahead is bumpy, and many technical limitations must be ironed out. "Hydrogen is the smallest molecule in nature, and finding feas...

Made of a special type of paper coated with a compound called titanium nitride oxide, the material heats rapidly and vaporizes water when exposed to the sun. The resulting water vapor is then condensed and collected via a container with a sloped quartz roof. The researchersĀ found that water desalinated using theĀ technologyĀ contains lower levels of salt than ordinary drinking water. They added that the desalinationĀ unit can be rapidly deployed in remote seaside areasĀ without access toĀ pota...
