麻省理工学院发明了一种设备,利用阳光从空气中收集饮用水,但其输出量有限。
MIT invents a device that collects drinking water from air using sunlight, but its output is limited.
麻省理工学院工程师利用水文凝胶制造了一个集水装置,可以在死亡谷等干旱地区从空气中提取饮用水。
MIT engineers have created a water harvesting device using hydrogel that can extract drinking water from air in arid regions like Death Valley.
该装置吸收了水蒸气,凝固了水,并在不需要电的情况下收集了水,完全依靠阳光。
The device absorbs water vapor, condenses it, and collects it without needing power, relying solely on sunlight.
虽然它每天可以生产大约三分之二的一杯水,但批评者则认为,它费用昂贵,生产的水不足,因此最适合自来水不可靠的特殊用途。
While it can produce around two-thirds of a cup of water per day, critics argue it is costly and produces insufficient water, making it best suited for niche applications where tap water is unreliable.
