Among the various presentations at Maker Faire Rome (14-16 October), the european event dedicated to innovation, there is a particularly awaited. will Debut in fact, Watly, the first computer able to purify the water. the Fruit of the work of an Italian mind, Marco A. Attisani, Walty is a computer thermodynamic that uses solar energy to purify water from any form of contamination, making it completely safe to drink. Not only. It may also provide electricity and Internet connection. “We are very happy to finally be able to show the result of almost four years of work. In Rome we want to have a machine that aims to revolutionize the global scenery and be a pioneer of a new paradigm for the industrial and social order based on the energy net,” – says Attisani. On A practical level, Watly is able to purify up to 3 million litres of water per year and generate the same energy required to its functioning. It does not require fuel or a connection to the electricity network.
Watly, already covered by several patents and field-tested in Ghana, has received numerous international awards such as Horizon 2020, European Pioneer and the Gaetano Marzotto Prize (2015), has also entered the acceleration program of E. S. A. (European Space Agency) in Barcelona (2016), with a special project focused on the development of a program for the control of the automatic navigation of drones.
In Rome, Watly will be present with a very important part of the machine. In a space of over 300 square meters will be fitted to three modules with a length of 25 meters: two wings, which collect solar energy and make it work, and a central unit, where you will find the user interface, the soul of Watly. The completion of the first prototype is expected by the end of 2016. in The final stages of construction, assembly and testing will take place in Bari at the headquarters of the industrial partner of Watly, Primiceri SpA, a global partner, able to design, build, install and provide after-sales service.
