"The researchers estimate that if the system is scaled up to the size of a small suitcase, it could produce about 4 to 6 liters of drinking water per hour and last several years before requiring replacement parts."
Is this really that early in the research or is there some other barrier to testing that in the near future, as in if it were that practical why didn't they do it already?
Maybe funding. Get a grant of $10,000 and you can only build something so big.
Use that to prove it's a viable idea that could work and go searching for a $100,000 grant to make a bigger real-use one and make refinements to then use to search for investors that can start manufacturing.
Here’s a hint: What to do with all the fuckin waste products??
That's the same issue as now.
