MIT engineers and collaborators developed a solar-powered device that avoids salt-clogging issues of other designs. 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.
