Sisivumelwano sikasathana: Imitha yelanga emenyezelayo ngeli xesha lonyaka isiza kunye nokufuma okunyakazisa umzimba.Kodwa kuthekani ukuba oko kufuma kunokusebenza njengempahla yorhwebo kwiimfuno zethu zangoku kunye nezexesha elizayo zamanzi eMzantsi Florida nangaphaya?Kuthekani ukuba kunokwenziwa amanzi acocekileyo ... kanye emoyeni ongqindilili?
Ishishini le-niche liye lavela kwiminyaka yakutshanje ukwenza oku kanye, kwaye inkampani encinci ye-Cooper City, enokufikelela kubo bonke ukufuma okufunxayo abanokukufuna, ngumdlali ophambili.
Izisombululo zaManzi e-Atmospheric okanye i-AWS, ihleli kwipaki yeofisi engazithembiyo, kodwa ukusukela ngo-2012 bebesoloko becofa imveliso ephawuleka kakhulu.Bayibiza ngokuba yi-AquaBoy Pro.Ngoku kwisizukulwana sayo sesibini (i-AquaBoy Pro II), yenye yeejeneretha zamanzi zasemoyeni kuphela ezifumaneka kumthengi wemihla ngemihla kwiimarike kwiindawo ezifana neTarget okanye i-Home Depot.
Ijenereyitha yamanzi e-atmospheric ivakala ngathi yinto ephuma ngqo kwimuvi ye-sci-fi.Kodwa uReid Goldstein, usekela-mongameli olawulayo we-AWS owathatha i-2015, uthi iteknoloji esisiseko ibuyela emva ekuphuhlisweni kwee-air conditioners kunye ne-dehumidifiers."Ngokwenene bubuchwephesha bokuphelisa ubumanzi obufakwe kwisayensi yanamhlanje."
Umphandle ocekethekileyo wesixhobo ufana nesipholisi samanzi ngaphandle kokupholisa kwaye ubiza ngaphezulu kwe-1,665 yeedola.
Isebenza ngokutsala umoya ngaphandle.Kwiindawo ezinomswakama ophezulu, loo moya uzisa umphunga omninzi wamanzi kunye nawo.Umphunga ofudumeleyo udibanisa iikhoyili ezipholileyo zentsimbi estainless ngaphakathi, kwaye, ngokufanayo nala manzi angonwabanga athontsiza kwiyunithi yakho yomoya, ukuxinana kuyadalwa.Amanzi aqokelelwa aze ajikelezwe ngeebhayisekile ezisixhenxe zokuhluza okukumgangatho ophezulu de aphume etephini kumanzi okusela aqinisekisiweyo e-EPA, acocekileyo.
Kanye njengaloo nto ipholileyo yamanzi emsebenzini, inguqulelo yendlu yesixhobo inokudala malunga neelitha ezintlanu zamanzi okusela ngosuku.
Isixa sixhomekeke kumswakama osemoyeni, nalapho isixhobo sikhoyo.Beka egaraji yakho okanye kwenye indawo ngaphandle kwaye uya kufumana ngaphezulu.Yincamathelise ekhitshini lakho kunye ne-air conditioner ehambayo kwaye iya kwenza kancinci.Ngokutsho kweGoldstein, isixhobo sifuna naphi na ukusuka kwi-28% ukuya kwi-95% yokufuma, kunye namaqondo obushushu phakathi kwe-55 degrees kunye ne-110 degrees ukuze usebenze.
Malunga neekota ezintathu zeeyunithi ze-1,000 ezithengisiweyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ziye kumakhaya kunye neeofisi apha okanye kwiindawo ezifumileyo ezifanayo kwilizwe lonke, kunye neendawo zehlabathi ezaziwa ngokuba nomoya wazo otyhafisayo njengeQatar, iPuerto Rico, iHonduras kunye neBahamas.
Esinye isahlulo sentengiso sivela kwizixhobo ezikhulu inkampani eqhubeka nokucinga ngazo, ezinokwenza naphi na ukusuka kwi-30 ukuya kwi-3,000 yeelitha zamanzi acocekileyo ngosuku kwaye zibe namandla okubonelela ngenkonzo enzima ngakumbi yeemfuno zehlabathi.
UJuan Sebastian Chaquea ngumphathi weprojekthi yehlabathi kwi-AWS.Isihloko sakhe sangaphambili sasingumphathi weprojekthi kwi-FEMA, apho wayejongene nolawulo lwamakhaya, iindawo zokuhlala kunye nezindlu zenguqu ngexesha leentlekele.“Kulawulo olungxamisekileyo, izinto zokuqala ekufuneka uzihlawule kukutya, indawo yokuhlala namanzi.Kodwa zonke ezo zinto azinamsebenzi xa ungenamanzi,” utshilo.
Umsebenzi kaChaquea wangaphambili wamfundisa malunga nemingeni yokuthutha amanzi asebhotileni.Inzima, nto leyo eyenza kube yindleko enkulu ukuyihambisa ngenqanawa.Ikwafuna imizimba ukuba ihambe kwaye ithuthwe xa sele ifikile kwindawo yentlekele, ethanda ukushiya abantu kwiindawo ekunzima ukufikelela kuzo bengenakufikelela iintsuku.Ikwangcolisa ngokulula xa ishiywe elangeni ixesha elide.
U-Chaquea wajoyina i-AWS kulo nyaka kuba ukholelwa ukuba ukuphuhliswa kobuchwephesha bejenereyitha yamanzi e-atmospheric kunokunceda ukuxazulula loo miba - kwaye ekugqibeleni usindise ubomi.“Ukwazi ukuzisa amanzi ebantwini kubavumela ukuba babe neyona nto iphambili abayidingayo ukuze baphile,” utshilo.
URandy Smith, isithethi seSithili soLawulo lwaManzi saseMzantsi Florida, akazange eve ngemveliso okanye iteknoloji.
Kodwa uthe i-SFWD ibisoloko ixhasa abemi ukuba bafune "enye indawo yokubonelela ngamanzi."Ngokutsho kwe-arhente, amanzi aphantsi komhlaba, avela ngokubanzi kumanzi afunyenwe kwiintanda kunye neendawo zomhlaba, isanti kunye namatye, i-akhawunti ye-90 ekhulwini yamanzi aseMzantsi Florida asetyenziswa kumakhaya kunye namashishini.
Isebenza njenge-akhawunti yebhanki.Siyarhoxa kuyo kwaye itshajiswa ngokutsha yimvula.Kwaye nangona kuna imvula eninzi eSouth Florida, amandla okuba nembalela kunye namanzi angcolileyo kunye namanzi angaphantsi komhlaba angcolileyo kunye namanzi ngexesha lezikhukhula kunye nezivunguvungu zihlala zikhona.
Umzekelo, xa kunganethi ngokwaneleyo ngexesha lonyaka elomileyo, amagosa ahlala exhalabile malunga nokuba kuya kubakho imvula eyaneleyo na ngexesha leemvula ukuze silungelelanise iiakhawunti zethu.Ngokuqhelekileyo kukho, ngaphandle kokuluma izikhonkwane njengasemva ngo-2017.
Kodwa imbalela iye yachaphazela lo mmandla, njengaleyo yowe-1981 eyanyanzela uRhuluneli uBob Graham ukuba avakalise uMzantsi Florida njengommandla wentlekele.
Ngelixa imbalela kunye nezaqhwithi zihlala zinokwenzeka, imfuno eyongeziweyo yamanzi aphantsi komhlaba kule minyaka izayo iqinisekile.
Ngo-2025, i-6 yezigidi zabahlali abatsha baqikelelwa ukuba benze iFlorida ikhaya labo kwaye ngaphezu kwesiqingatha baya kuhlala eSouth Florida, ngokutsho kweSFWD.Oku kuya kwandisa imfuno yamanzi acocekileyo ngama-22 ekhulwini.USmith uthe nayiphi na itekhnoloji enokuthi incede kulondolozo lwamanzi “ibalulekile.”
I-AWS ikholelwa ukuba iimveliso ezifana nezabo, ezifuna ukuba amanzi angaphantsi komhlaba asebenze, afanelekile ukunciphisa iimfuno zemihla ngemihla, ezifana namanzi okusela okanye ukuzalisa umatshini wakho wekofu.
Nangona kunjalo, iinkokeli zabo zinombono wokwandisa ishishini kwiimfuno ezinjengokukhula kwezolimo, ukunika inkonzo koomatshini bokucofa izintso, kunye nokubonelela ngamanzi okusela ezibhedlele - ezinye zazo sele bezenza.Okwangoku baphuhlisa iyunithi ehambayo enokudala iilitha ze-1,500 zamanzi ngosuku, abathi banokusebenza kwiindawo zokwakha, uncedo oluphuthumayo kunye neendawo ezikude.
“Nangona wonke umntu esazi ukuba ufuna amanzi ukuze uphile, asasazeke kakhulu kwaye asetyenziswa kakhulu kunento ebonwa ngamehlo,” utshilo uGoldstein.
Lo mbono unomdla kwabanye ababandakanyekayo kwisithuba, njengoSameer Rao, uprofesa oncedisayo wobunjineli bomatshini kwiYunivesithi yase-Utah.
Kwi-2017, uRao wayeyi-post doc kwi-MIT.Wapapasha iphepha kunye noogxa bacebisa ukuba banokwenza ijenereyitha yamanzi e-atmospheric enokusetyenziswa kuyo nayiphi na indawo, kungakhathaliseki ukuba amanqanaba okufuma.
Kwaye, ngokungafaniyo ne-AquaBoy, ayiyi kufuna umbane okanye iindawo ezihambayo ezinzima - ukukhanya kwelanga kuphela.Eli phepha lidale isiphithiphithi kuluntu lwezenzululwazi njengoko lo mbono wabonwa njengesisombululo esinokubakho kunqongophalo lwamanzi olumandla oluchaphazela imimandla eyinkqantosi kwihlabathi jikelele ekulindeleke ukuba ibe mandundu njengoko imozulu iqhubeka nokuba shushu kwaye abantu baqhubeleka nokukhula.
Ngo-2018, uRao kunye neqela lakhe bajika iintloko kwakhona xa benza iprototype yengcamango yabo ekwaziyo ukwenza amanzi ukusuka eluphahleni lwe-Tempe, e-Arizona, ngokusondeleyo kwi-zero humidity.
Ngokutsho kophando lukaRao, kukho iitriliyoni zeelitha zamanzi ngendlela yomphunga emoyeni.Nangona kunjalo, iindlela zangoku zokukhupha loo manzi, njengetekhnoloji ye-AWS, ayikakwazi ukunceda imimandla eyinkqantosi edla ngokuwafuna kakhulu.
Kwanaloo mimandla kwimimandla enomswakama ayinikezelwanga, kuba iimveliso ezifana ne-AquaBoy Pro II zifuna amandla abizayo ukuba asebenzise - into inkampani inethemba lokunciphisa njengoko iqhubeka nokuphucula iteknoloji yabo kwaye ijonge enye imithombo yamandla.
Kodwa uRao uyonwabile ukuba iimveliso ezifana ne-AquaBoy zikhona kwimarike.Waphawula ukuba i-AWS yenye yeenkampani ezimbalwa kwilizwe lonke ezisebenza nale "teknoloji yokusa," kwaye wamkela ngakumbi."Iiyunivesithi zilungile ekuphuhliseni itekhnoloji, kodwa sifuna iinkampani ukuba ziyiqonde kwaye zenze iimveliso," utshilo uRao.
Ngokuphathelele ithegi yexabiso, uRao uthe kufuneka silindele ukuba yehle njengoko kukho ukuqonda okungakumbi malunga netekhnoloji kwaye, ekugqibeleni, imfuno.Uyifanisa nabo nabuphi na ubugcisa obutsha obubambe abanye ngokungalindelekanga kwimbali."Ukuba besikwazi ukwenza iyunithi yokupholisa umoya ngexabiso eliphantsi, iindleko zobu buchwepheshe zinokuhla," utshilo.
