Yeah - I don't think I'm much the wiser from reading that because the original article seems too light on detail and everyone is guessing.

Except that it seems an expensive way of doing things.

Something about 30kW is going to cost about £100k. Ish.

That seems an expensive way to produce water.

I can see it working for somewhere like the farming communities of South Australia who might be able to lay their hands on a couple hundred thousand dollars but I think they’d be better of running the turbine for power and using the power for, inter alia, a desalination plant.

If a family living in Africa could rustle up £100k-£200k then they be better off buying a house in East Kilbride, where it rains a lot.
