- pjscott 15y agoEvaporation also becomes a lot cheaper when you get most of the energy from the waste heat of a power plant.
- tren 15y agoI've got an engineering question posted on my site regarding a portable desalination device (potentially using reverse osmosis), if anyone has ideas: http://zombal.com/zomb/scientific-design/emergency-desalination-device http://zombal.com/zomb/scientific-design/emergency-desalinat...
