Go out one round: drink beer > urine > > pure water-making beer never afraid of thirst.
Drinking a few cups of water, a few refreshing beer, you will see the need to go potty.
But, the refreshment of you will be able to step into a new page, when that scientists have created a device using solar energy, turn your urine back into drinking water.
A team of researchers at the University of Ghent, Belgium has created a filter system. "We can create fertilizer and drinking water from urine, just with simple process and the use of solar energy," you Sebastiaan Derese, one of the researchers on this project.
The urine is collected in a large tank, and then is heated by solar energy before going through a filtering membrane to separate water and other substances such as potassium, phosphorus and nitro.
According to scientists at the University of Ghent, though that wastewater treatment system had gone, but this new system using solar energy will save the power is better and can apply in the developing countries or the secluded area.
Using the slogan #peeforscience (for science that urinating), the research team developed this filter system at a 10-day-long music festival held in the heart of Ghent. The result, they have gained 1,000 liters of clean water are filtered from the urine of those who attend the festival.
The amount of clean water revenue from other water filtration systems are recycling rotation again, turning one of the specialties of the country: it is the beer.
The goal of the researchers at Ghent is creating a larger version of the system, put in the big sports events or at the airport to take clean water, besides they count to the installation of it in the areas lacking water or lack of farm fertilizer.
