Desalination plants help to solve drinking water shortages. However, they need a lot of energy and they spit concentrated brine back into marine ecosystems. That’s why two engineers have created a floating wave-powered desalination buoy that performs reverse osmosis while bobbing in the sea to create clean drinking water at half the price of existing plants. Now the engineers are crowdfunding their device in order to bring clean drinking water to coastal communities, remote islands and other places that lack the resources to power energy-intensive desalination plants.
