Hey! I had a similar project like this during my graduate school. We could implement any idea into this project so what our team did was build incorporate a nuclear power plant and salt processing plant into our desalination design. The heat generated from the nuclear power plant would be used to turn our salt water into steam and the excess salt would be distributed to the salt processor to be sold for consumers. Of course, people would be very skeptical knowing that their salt was produced at a nuclear power plant, but it was an interesting concept our professor never saw before.

one could also build a small unit for a family an distribute it so you solve problems with scaling and it is decentralized, so risks of catastrophic down time is almost zero. each pump works with solar panels and a backup battery so in case of electricity downtime you have drinkable water

Is it possible to build a large scale super evaporator designed for desalination? Sun rays have much better evaporation properties than heat is the guess. Can this be replicated without solar rays using machine learning models?

How to solve water crisis:
>extract water
>lend it to people for use at an interest rate
>when people default, impose austerity by international water fund
>impose freedom at a gunpoint
>profit

I love the information but I can't process it without gaps in speech. Pauses are sooo important for assimilation. Thank you so much for this information, I am glad it is out here.

-If you're an electrical engineer, you don't have to worry about how things get put together. You just draw squiggly lines everywhere and let someone else worry about it. T_T-

I really like the outro music Callie Dishman has made for this series. I would love to hear those drums and percussion pipes in a full song.

I-m going to take Engineering Design in high school, I didn-t know what I was getting myself into. So, thanks Crash Course for telling me. -

This is the next big business after oil, just imagine what can be done to arid areas of the world and the revenue this would create.

I would love a series about building other things from scratch. Like a nuclear power plant, a dam, a thermoelectrical plant, etc.
