As time goes on, resources become more and more limited. Because of this, people are constantly looking for new ways to conserve resources and use clean sources of energy. A recent invention has been able to successfully do both. NowThis is reporting that a new form of solar panels are also able to gather clean drinking water. The invention has many people very excited.
The news of this innovative invention came on Thursday. NowThis reports that ‘Zero Mass” is able to create clean drinking water by absorbing moisture in the air of the surrounding area. The device is also able to get rid of potentially toxic and harmful chemicals in the water it collects through the process of evaporation. Environmentalists, as well as scientists all over the world, are excited for what this invention could mean for people all over the planet.
NowThis also reports that the way the device functions is quite amazing. The “Zero Mass” operated quite similarly to an air conditioner in the way it is able to utilize the elements around it. The device not only has the capability of providing clean drinking water to parts of the world that would not otherwise have access, but the panels will also be able to harness solar energy to provide power and electricity. This will help the estimated 783 million people across the planet that do not have access to proper drinking water.
Information on how and where the device will be installed and how it will be implemented in communities is still very limited, but people are simply excited that advancements like this one are being made. Time, patients, and the creative minds of researchers will continue to develop this project as well as many others that have the potential to positively impact the lives of millions. One can only wait and see what the future of water conservation and solar power will hold.
