A new innovation in osmosis technology from EPFL can generate large amounts of electricity with just water, salt, and a thin membrane.
The key to the osmotic power generator is a three-atom-thick membrane that separates seawater and fresh water. The membrane is made of molybdenum disulfide and perforated with nanopores designed specifically to only allow the positively-charged ions to pass through, which causes the negatively-charged ions to build up on the other side. As they do, a voltage is created between the two liquids that can be harnessed as electricity.
The EPFL system can generate up to 1MW of electricity, which is enough to power 50,000 LEDs.
I like the idea very much please let me know who i can contact for this product, i would like to market it in the Middle East
