If this theory is correct, what would REALLY be interesting (I mean besides rewriting dire CLIMATE CHANGE!! policies) would be creating a bench-scale model that would work for homes or neighborhoods. I have collected several methods of obtaining potable water from surface sources (coyote wells, distillation, filtration, etc.), but this method, if true, might be more efficient.
I suppose one could use an active, constant light source, but that in itself would require energy input... and if we're all living off the grid due to societal and infrastructure collapse, that won't be happening. OR, one might be able to use a passive source, the Sun, if properly filtered for the green spectrum.
That's what I would like to see come out of this... a portable, passive water distillation device that would work during daylight and require only new water being added to distill.
