Slight correction

> Their prototype generates drinking water at a rate of 0.3 liters per hour, and requires only 20 watt-hours per liter.

So it takes 3+ hours to make a liter, using 20Wh.

So? It's trivially paralleled, this isn't a case of 9 women making a baby in a month. Just run three devices, get 1 liter in 1 hour with 20 watts.

20 watts each -> 60 watts?

20 watt-hours per liter multiplied by .3 liters per hour equals 6 watts each.

thanks, read that too fast

Is it just me or does this kind of thing just feel so weird and out of place:

> "The researchers also created a smartphone app that can control the unit wirelessly and report real-time data on power consumption and water salinity."

For version 2 they're adding themes for the social media icons

> Concentrated Brines

Like the ones NASA has on the shuttle https://www.nasa.gov/feature/new-brine-processor-increases-w... right?

Lots of gold in that water too. Mostly salt tho

I figure there must be a lot of things in sea water that might be valuable, if only you could concentrate them. Or in brines that are extracted from underground, like how some lithium is currently mined if I understand correctly.
