What is HYDRA? Claimed to be world’s first mobile solar hydrogen powered water purification and community energy station, the future of human kind might depends on this type of technology in order to survive.
Hydra is capable to produce pure water from the solar array during the day time, and in result, the device could produce hydrogen as a 100 percent renewable energy, the process completed when during the night time, the hydrogen generated could be used as a fuel cell to power the pump and run the water purifier.
According to news released by IEEE Spectrum, The Essential Element’s Hydra mobile device is capable to generate up to 87,000 liters of pure water every day, while at the same time, capable to create hydrogen as a fuel cell energy for burning a cooking stove and generate enough electricity for charging cellphones and run other electronic devices.
Speaking about portability, you could mount the Hydra simply onboard of a trailer and tow it using your vehicle to anywhere that has road, in need of pure water and electricity.
The solar array generate about 2.88KW of power, which is enough to power a 900W water pump, a self-cleaning filtration device, an electrolyzer and can also recharge lead-acid gel batteries that are capable of storing 900Ah of electricity.
Simply imagine that every small urban or rural areas without the touch of electricity could be using this type of technology to generate pure water, hydrogen and electricity!
