MIT engineers and collaborators developed a solar-powered device that avoids the salt-clogging issues of other designs. Engineers at MIT and in China are aiming to turn seawater into drinking water with a completely passive device that is inspired by the ocean, and powered by the sun. In a pap
quite true, although we already have long ass pipes/cables in the ocean for phone/internet connections between continents. So it’s entirely doable, and is already being done for another purpose besides salt.
