Почему мы до сих пор не пьём воду из океана?

Desalination sounds simple: boil seawater, catch the steam, drink the water. But boiling the ocean for a single glass is almost impossible, while the sun does exactly that over the sea every day, for free. Here is why separating salt from water has a physical price, what osmotic pressure really is, and how reverse osmosis lets entire desert countries drink the sea without ever boiling it. Chapters: 00:00 The sea you cannot drink 01:31 Separation has a price 03:06 Why you cannot just boil it 05:38 Reverse osmosis: pushing back the ocean 10:02 How we know this 12:20 The floor you cannot go below 14:46 How engineers got around the price 16:35 What really holds the water 18:08 A question and what is next See also: Why 90% of the world's oil can never be pumped out —    • Почему 90% нефти невозможно достать из-под...   #desalination #engineering #science
