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

    I think the problem is that it’s too salinated and needs to be put back into the ocean slowly over a wide area.

      Well this would be mixing the treated water with the salt … which in theory should get close-ish to the amount of water put into the system/the original balance

      It actually sounds pretty reasonable at least on the surface.

      Another idea might be shipping that off for cheap road ice control in states with winter weather

        There’s a lot more in the salt than just salt, probably introducing a bunch of issues into trying to use it for deicing roads.
