Harnessing the power of the sun to purify water
Harnessing the power of the sun to purify water. In southern France, an innovative system called Helio is doing that. The self-sufficient small sphere can distil dirty water or seawater. It also emits zero CO2, making it completely sustainable.
Helio engineer Matteo Beaudet told Euronews how the system works.
Clean drinking water
“We all need water to live. A human being needs two litres a day to live. This sphere is sized to make water for five people – that’s 10 litres per day,” he said.
The price of each sphere is approximately 5,000 euros. The system is designed to guarantee the supply of drinking water during natural disasters, wars or in any situation where the water supply has been damaged.
