Electricity From Salty Water
BuzzSkyline writes "It's possible to produce energy by simply mixing fresh and salty water. Although chemists and physicists have long known about the untapped energy available where fresh water rivers pour into salty oceans — it's equivalent to 'each river in the world ending at its mouth in a waterfall 225 meters [739 feet] high' — the technology for exploiting the effect has been lacking. An Italian physicist seems to have solved the problem with the experimental demonstration of a 'salination cell' that creates power given nothing more than input sources of salty and fresh water. The researcher believes that this renewable, environmentally friendly energy source could be deployed in coastal areas and could provide another addition to the green-tech roster. A paper describing the technology is due to be published in an upcoming issue of the journal Physical Review Letters."
Hey retard!! Yes, I'm talking to you "Un pobre guey" *MORON*
You see the rivers going into the oceans? There you go. I'm not even going to try connecting these two dots for you. A drooling moron with single digit IQ probably can do it.
There's no water shortage where I live. Fresh, drinkable water falls from the sky and it's free! The "water shortage" is caused by people stupidly moving to deserts and expecting rain. It isn't a water problem, it's a stupid people problem.
