The world is about to enter a global water crisis, where over a billion people lack access to safe drinking water. To combat the problem, the British company Desolenator has created a device that can turn salt water into drinking water.

The Desolenator device uses a patented technology that can turn salt water and other non-potable sources in distilled water and suitable for consumption. The machine is able to produce 15 liters of water per day and requires only solar energy to purify the water. Additionally, after the purchase, there is no need to purchase other supplies since the machine requires no filters and can provide pure water at home for 20 years.

"Climate change and population growth are creating the stage for a global water crisis", indicates the British company's CEO, William Janssen, cites the Inhabitat. "About 97 percent of the world's water is salty and our plan is to use this vast resource and available to end the global crisis of drinking water. The process is called desalination and, currently, only 0.7% of the water consumed worldwide comes from this process. Existing technology to do so is expensive, inefficient and requires 0.5% of world energy flow. The Desolenator is different from existing technologies. Uses solar energy of an elegant way and maximizes the amount of solar radiation that reaches the surface of technology by combining electrical and thermal exchanges ", explains Janssen.

The device is still in development, but there is already a prototype available. Currently, there is a fundraising campaign but the invention has already been distinguished in a contest.
