IBM's Solar Powered Desalination Plant




In spite of the technological age we live in it is reported that one-in-five people on this planet still don’t have access to clean drinking water. To help correct this imbalance, a new, energy-efficient desalination plant with an expected production capacity of 30,000 cubic meters per day will be built in the city of Al Khafji, Saudi Arabia, to serve its 100,000 people. Known more for its computers, IBM has joined forces with KACST (King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology) to build the plant that will be powered by ultra-high concentrator photovoltaic (UHCPV) technology - a system with a concentration greater than 1,500 suns .

H€LIUM-3 ... "Earth's RECHARGE VOUCHER"


According to the predictions in 2035 EARTH's FOSSIL FUEL will be totally ruined and artificial methods are also not enough to fulfill the increasing demand . Planet EARTH is in DANGER .
But now we have got the answer which is HELIUM - 3 .
ONLY 100 tonnes of HELIUM - 3 can power up the entire planet for 1 Year and it costs
4 million dollar per kilo .
The amazing thing is that it doesn't produces ANY
HARMFUL BY PRODUCTS.
It is found in abundant quantity beneath the surface of the moon called lunar surface .

HELIUM -3 is emitted as a by-product of the sun's own nuclear reactions and blown across the galaxy by solar winds , the lunar soil has absorbed Helium 3 for millions and millions of years but the earth couldn't because of the EARTH's protective magnetic field .

So a large scale mining will be done to extract out HELIUM - 3 which is under the lunar surface .
For this , under the banner of INTERNATIONAL LUNAR EXPLORATION PROGRAM (ILEP)....... MOON is divided into 4 international sectors:

American, Russian, Chinese and Indian.
