  • Do you have a diagram or something like that of how this work?

  • Is there any working models of this anywhere ?

  • what is the name of the show that this is/was on.

  • I need thIS video for a project of my school, how can i get it in HD?

    do you have it?

    thank you

  • where does the salt go? in the video it says it stays on the mesh, so the salt will build up and restrict air flow.

  • Actually, one can use more seawater to flush the excessive salt away. It is an easy way to regulate the build-up of salt. I have some pictures of this type of installation which Charlie Paton gave me which shows a buildup in a Seawater Greenhouse application, which was subsequently flushed away with more seawater.

  • @bjelkeman Now they are using the salt to create gourmet salts and salts for deicing etcetera

  • At 5:33 when he says "an un-ending supply of freshwater", what about when sea water runs out in millions of years what will happen then?

  • Gosh!!! Freakin idiot, didn´t you go through junior high? "Matter isn't created or destroyed, it just transforms"

  • It can't run out, matter is constant since the beginning of times, the quantity of water hasn't decreased, the quality of it has, that's why we'll be struggling for water

  • "what about when sea water runs out in millions of years what will happen then? "

    It will be replenished by the fresh water we've used and flushed as sewage.

  • water dosnt run out...

  • Comment removed

  • (I do not understand English) I said that (Taiwan Chinese) solves the invention which the Earth warms, does not use the innovation which all energies possibly generate electricity your government, must be the national person makes this innovation if you did not understand that I said anything I ask you to tell you the National intelligence Organization completes this innovation I do not spend money to give your country In you In you tude character a661333

  • Dear trudy

    Yes, it is true that you will need energy to pump the water. However this is less energy than what would be used if you desalinated using RO or other conventional methods. With regards to the salt, this does not need to happen if constructed correctly. The Seawater Greenhouse is built on the same technology and does not suffer from salt coating problems. The salt only covers the evaporators and they are covered by seawater anyway.

  • You do need fuel to pump the water. Also as someone who lives near the sea, I can tell you that things get coated in a thin layer of salt, enough to contaminate the fresh water this produces due to the warm sea air blowing thru the device, it would seem.

  • Dear marxel02,

    Cold seawater is available at any location where you have water below about 100 meters, in the Indian ocean it is not unusual with 10-15C water at 150-200 meters depth. It is primarily about finding a location reasonably close to deeper water.

  • Yes I believe it is possible but where do you get icy sea water in regions near the equator? we need further technical explanation. thank you.

  • Great technolgy. Awful film.

    Take out the useless theatrics, gee-whiz camera angles and fly-bys and you could tell me what this is all about in 30 seconds.

  • Es realmente impresionante lo que la gente puede crear cosas de valor incalculable para toda la humanidad cuando se lo propone y realmente triste que este video que nos puede cambiar la vida a todos lo hayan visto tan pocas personas, espero que la gente haga consiencia y que esto se difunda para poner esta grandiosa ideas en practica lo antes posible, ya que el problema del agua es un algo que nos afecta a todos. Felicidades por tan importante projecto

  • I am a student on non-organic technology and my major is water purification. I am very excited by this idea, it's great for humanity and I hope that this will become reality very soon for all of us. Greetings from Macedonia!

  • Simply AWESOME! THERE IS NO EXCUSE TO CONTINUE THE ADDICTION TO GASOLINE! SAVE THE PLANET... SAVE OURSELVES!!!

  • Amazing. A must to see! Finally we understand that one man can change the world if there is people enough to practice his idea. There is no alternative to the rest of the world... The Theatro del Agua is a proof of concept and will became a reallity in few years! Hugs from Brazil.
