For those of us living in cities or towns, adequate food and clean drinking water are basically the basic living conditions we are born with. But people living in poor areas are different. Not to mention electronic products such as electronic televisions and mobile phones, even the most basic living conditions such as electricity and drinking water are lacking.
Walty is a supercomputer from an Italian technology company. It is not used for calculation and learning, but for "transformation".
The first stage is energy conversion. Walty’s outer layer is covered with a large area of ??solar photovoltaic panels, which converts sunlight into electrical energy to supply its own operation.
In backward areas with insufficient conditions, it can provide stable power supply to local people.
Provide stable wireless network signal within one kilometer
Let people in poor areas also enjoy modern services
Clean drinking water is also one of the most lacking conditions in poor areas. The second stage of transformation of Walty is its core function, water purification function. No matter how polluted the water is, it will be clean drinking water after being purified by Walty.
This powerful water purification function comes from these two special materials—graphene and aerogel, both of which are excellent filter materials.
The pores in the outer layer of the airgel are as small as nanometers, which can well absorb pollutants in sewage, such as mercury, crude oil, etc.; while graphene can filter out fine particles , the combination of the two can filter the water to a drinkable level.
The Walty team conducted its first field demonstration in a village in Ghana, Africa. Judging from the little girl’s reaction, the quality of the purified drinking water should be good.
Walty’s team conducted a trial in a village in Ghana, Africa. Looking at the look of the little girl drinking water, we knew that the purification effect was very good.
The production cost of a Walty is 400,000 euros, which may seem a bit expensive, but its service life is as long as 15 years. Within 15 years, there is no need to replace any parts, only manual maintenance.
The transformation effect during this period is equivalent to reducing the emission of 2,500 tons of carbon dioxide, which is equivalent to the emission of 5,000 barrels of oil.
Walty has been put into use in many poverty-stricken areas in Africa. The goal is to launch 10,000 units in Africa within 8 years to solve the problems of power supply, water shortage, and lack of network coverage.
