Turning Hydropower into Light – ES Pipe Waterwheel
The ES Pipe Waterwheel is a tool that utilizes hydropower generated from regular water taps by converting it to energy. The waterwheel works in the same way as a mini turbine does, the waterwheel pipe connects to a regular water pipe, as water runs, the turbines turn and generate energy. This energy is used to […]
All-in-one energy and clean waste water generator
Professor Bruce Logan and his team from Pennsylvania State University have developed technology that treats waste water and generates energy at the same time – two priorities for Middle Eastern municipalities. Combining Reverse Electrodialysis (RED) technology developed in the Netherlands and Norway, which harvests energy where fresh water and sea water meet, with Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC) that use organic matter to create an electric current, […]
Mobile station PROMETHEUS
Mobile station PROMETHEUS is designed to provide reliable power and water supply in harsh environments. The station consists of a telescopic boom with a wind generator and flexible solar panels, water generator, water filter, diesel generator, water tanks and communications center. The station can run on completely renewable energy or a hybrid system with diesel generator. This station is designed […]
Water purifiers for low-income households
Nazava is a brand of water purifiers for low-income households. Nazava’s mission is to provide clean drinking water to everybody, everywhere. These water filters help in fighting diarrhoea. When used as an alternative to boiling water they are an effective tool against global warming. The purifiers enable households to obtain safe drinking water. Obtaining water from the Nazava purifier […]
Water Shelter – Sustainable Shelter Solutions
The Water Shelter project responds to the needs of rural populations in developing countries who live in areas of recurring floods, with a geographical focus on the Zambezi basin in Sub-Saharan Africa. The Water Shelter design provides the user with the necessary tools and information to migrate temporarily and efficiently, encouraging self-sufficiency at each stage […]
Tulip Siphon Water Filter
An innovative, low-cost water filter for families in developing countries Hundreds of millions of people still only have access to unsafe drinking water sources. Inadequate access to safe water and sanitation services, coupled with poor hygiene practices, kills and sickens thousands of children every day and leads to impoverishment and diminished opportunities for millions of […]
Health Light water purifier
Health Light is a solar light water purifier designed by Liu Yun intended to ensure the purity of floodwaters. During rainy seasons many region’s rivers flooded. This floodwater is often contaminated and is the source of deadly diseases such as Hepatitis and dysentery. In fact, rainwater is often a source of drinking water and contamination […]
Drinking water from sunshine
MIT team designs solar-powered portable desalination system to use in disaster zones and remote regions. Systems that remove salt from saltwater, or desalination systems, have existed for decades, they are typically large-scale installations that require lots of energy to operate. As bottled water was given the highest priority in terms of airborne relief supplies in […]
Solar and Wind Power Water Purification and Desalination System
Swiss-based company TRUNZ WATER SYSTEMS has developed and manufactures and distributes a sustainable and cost-effective solution for water purification and desalination: a complete and ready-to-operate unit which is mobile and independent – thanks to renewable energy. Solar and wind-powered water treatment and desalination systems Trunz’s innovative and environmentally friendly technology produces clean drinking water from […]
C-Water by Chao Gao
The Chinese Engineer Chao Gao has designed the so called “C-Water”, an award-winning experimental desalination product that uses solar power to make drinking water. The C-Water system was a recent entry in Designboom‘s Incheon International Design Awards, where its water purification possibilities drew attention due to its simple distillation technique. ‘C-Water’ is a device that produces freshwater. It evaporates sewage, […]
