- sitkack 4y agoFrom the paper > The portable system desalinates brackish water and seawater (2.5−45 g/L) into drinkable water (defined by WHO guideline), with the energy consumptions of 0.4−4 (brackish water) and 15.6−26.6 W h/L (seawater), respectively. So it consumes 26Wh/L turning nasty lowtide into drinkable water with no filter. A 300W solar panel could then produce 10L of water per hour for probably 5 hours a day. 50L a day per panel. That is amazing!
