MIT engineers develop a solar-driven desalination system that runs with the rhythms of the sun to remove salt from water at a pace that closely follows changes in solar energy.
As sunlight increases throughout the day , the system ramps up its desalinization process and automatically adjusts to any sudden variation in sunlight.
The engineers tested a community-scale prototype on groundwater wells in New Mexico over six months , working in variable weather conditions and water types.
MIT researchers have found a way to reduce the need for batteries by shaving the system’s response time to a fraction of a second .
The faster response time enables the system to adjust to changes in sunlight throughout the day without having to make up any lag in power with additional power supplies.
Engineers plan to further test and scale up the desalinization system in hopes of supplying larger communities.
