As everyone knows, water is the most important resource in the world. We use water for just about everything, from agriculture to industrial purposes, and of course, for the most obvious purpose: Hydration.
Even though water is an essential building block for life, about 700 million people currently lack access to clean, safe water. And ironically some of these people live near immense bodies of it. Rain Maker aims to change this staggering statistic. The project, which is one of the many brainchildren of 5 Hour Energy creator Manoj Bhargava, will provide the world with a sustainable source of fresh water. At least, that is the hope.
Rain Maker is straight-forward and simple. We live on a planet covered in salt water, so why not utilize what’s right in front of our faces? The concept of Rain Maker is to create a machine that uses a filtration system capable of turning salt water into usable fresh water. And the premise is to do so quickly—in a feasible timeframe.
Simplicity is key. What makes this invention so promising is that it’s modeled after natural processes.
Mimicking nature, the machine heats water until it becomes vapor. Then the associated moisture is collected in a series of chambers which distills the vapor. The byproduct of this process is clean, drinkable water. It’s literally that simple.
