Why battery free?
Batteries are cheap and great.
Oh its refried MIT garbage. Ok.
Extra, expensive layer of maintenance. This isn't just your average 5V1A AA battery; even the batteryless thing needs 100Wh.
Oh its refried MIT garbage. Ok.
What do you mean refried? What about MIT?

MIT is in the business of marketing MIT, and they are damn good at it. And I do think the people doing this work should be highlighted. However, it ends up being almost exclusively hype.
Its a trope specifically related to MIT.
Every university markets itself including the research university. Can't we just accept that battery-free desalination is really cool and efficient? The fact that they were research students of MIT had not registered any land in my mind until you pointed it out.
I understand your motivation and desire to not let the morons go un-opposed, I appreciate what you've done, but it's time to leave the troll in it's cave. The ogre will not turn to stone if it feels the touch of sun unfortunately. Shine your brightness in places it'll be appreciated.
I get that you simply don't understand whats being said. You'll figure it out eventually.
Agreed, got very MIT 'WaterSeer' vibes from this...
I can't find any relation between WaterSeer and MIT. And unlike WaterSeer, this was published as a peer-reviewed Nature paper in Oct 2024.
Its its coming from MIT, it deserves an extra pass of scrutiny.
WaterSeer was initially somehow related to some part of UC Berkeley, rather than MIT.

... Or the metal oxide framework predecessor to it, or the newer thing that uses some sort of gel.
I'm not aware of a commercial product based on this work.
UC Berkeley
I stand corrected, you are right. All the links I bookmarked 404 now but it was a UC Burkely funded project.

Thank you for correcting the record.
Batteries are not cheap, especially on industrial scale. And most batteries are not ecologically friendly. It makes far more sense to put all the power solar panels produce during the day to immediate use for maximum efficiency, there is no form of battery that exists that doesn't have some kind of efficiency loss.z
Putting a battery on this is like building a water tower in your front lawn that only feeds your sprinkler, and you're only filling it from a hose. You don't really get any benefit out of it and it's just easier to run the hose right to the sprinkler anyways.
