I had an idea for a water recycler / filtration system. I am fascinated by the idea of combining water harvesting and energy generation from the same unit. Anybody know of previous attempts? #CoSoInvetors
@jasod Lots, but none have been deployed at scale (unless you count Tatooine)
@SnelsetterFarm I am in New Mexico, so close. Pretty dry here. A lot of technologies like water treatment, photovoltaics, moisture collectors etc all exist in some form. It makes sense to my mind that something like this could be done on a small scale.
