"material produced by forcing powdered coal together under pressure... the team incorporated cotton fibers through the material... condenser over the device captured the freshwater... A 16 square meter CCP desalination system could produce enough water to meet the drinking, cooking and vegetable-watering needs of a typical [third-world farm] family of four... already being progressed by commercial partners toward pilot-scale production of drinking water"
