NIT Facilities, a Tokyo-based engineering group, intends to unveil its Solar UFO at the Aqua Metropolis Festival in Osaka, Japan. No, it never means to facilitate researchers’ incursion into the outer space. Instead, what it endeavors is to help you get clean potable water.
The contrivance is capable of purifying 2,400 gallons of water every day, thanks to the filtration system that oxygenates water and makes it free of impurities. The disc-shaped water-filter has integral solar cells capable of generating 1.3 kilowatts of solar energy. Waiting in the wings, the Solar UFO has sprinklers on its outer surface to ensure proper cooling of the panels.
While weighing in at 3.4 tons each, the massive container is 5 meters in width and 1.6 meters in height.
