A team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has designed a water desalination system new solar energy to provide drinking water to disaster areas and disadvantaged regions of the planet. The desalination system can be easily be carried in suitcases for delivery in emergency areas and is completely powered by solar energy, making it able to function in arid and remote regions of the world. systems desalination often require large amounts of energy and a great infrastructure to support them, but this compact system of MIT is able to work due to its ingenious design. The photovoltaic panel system is capable of generating power for the pump, which in turn pushes the undrinkable sea water through a permeable membrane. Once the salt and other minerals are extracted, then the water is drinkable. The system even has sensors that allow the purification of water, even without high levels of sunlight.
