Amachinethattakessweat-ladenclothesandturnsthemoisture(...
問題詳情:
A machine that takes sweat-laden clothes and turns the moisture(分子) into drinking water is in use in Sweden. The device spins and heats the material to remove the sweat, and then passes the vapor through a special membrane(膜) designed to only let water molecules get through.
Since its Monday launch, its creators say more than 1,000 people have “drunk others’ sweat(h汗液)" in Gothenburg. They add the liquid is cleaner than local tap water.
The device was built for the United Nation's child-focused charity UNICEF to promote a campaign highlighting the fact that 780 million people in the world lack access to clean water.
The machine was designed and built by engineer Andreas Hammar, known locally for his appearances on TV tech show Mekatronik. He said the critical part of the sweat machine was a new water purification component developed by a company named HVR in collaboration with Sweden's Royal Institute of Technology.
"It uses a technique called membrane distillation(膜蒸餾)," he told the BBC."We use a substance that's a bit like Gortex that only lets steam through but keeps bacteria, salts, clothing fibers and other substances out."They have something similar on the International Space Station to treat astronaut's urine(尿液) - but our machine was cheaper to build. Volunteers have been sampling the treated sweat since the start of the week in Gothenburg .“The amount of water it produces depends on how sweaty the person is - but one person's T-shirt typically produces 10ml , roughly a mouthful."
The equipment has been put on show at the Gothia Cup - the world's largest international youth football tournament. MattiasRonge, chief executive of Stockholm-based advertising agency Deportivo - which organized the stunt(驚人的表演) - said the machine had helped raise awareness for UNICEF, but in reality had its limitations.
"People haven't produced as much sweat as we hoped - right now the weather in Gothenburg is lousy," he said."So we've installed exercise bikes alongside the machine and volunteers are cycling like crazy."Even so, the demand for sweat is greater than the supply. And the machine will never be mass produced - there are better solutions out there such as water purifying pills." can we infer from the passage ?_______. A. The water processed by the machine is cleaner than local tap water . B. The machine can help raise awareness of lacking water in the world .
C. The machine is cheaper than the similar one on the International Space Station D. The amount of water the machine produces is roughly a mouthful.
is the main idea of the fifth paragraph ? A. How the machine works. B. Who developed the machine. C. How the machine was invented. D. Why the machine was invented..
does Mattias Ronge think of the machine?____ A. The machine can solve the severe water shortage in the world. B. People do not like the water the machine processes C. The machine should be used in rather hot areas in summer. D. The machine is not worth popularizing.
