The device will provide drinkable water to astronauts - enabling them to extract moisture from the lunar or planetary surface. The post Scientist invents device that could help humans survive on the Moon appeared first on Talker.
A scientist named Dr. Peter Hague from the University of Bristol has developed a groundbreaking device aimed at enabling human survival on the Moon. This device, known as the "Lunar Resource Prospector," is designed to extract water from the Moon's surface, which is crucial for life support, hydration, and potentially producing fuel. The invention works by heating lunar soil to release water molecules trapped within, then capturing and condensing this vapor into usable water. This technology not only addresses the critical issue of water scarcity on the Moon but also reduces the need to transport water from Earth, significantly cutting down mission costs and logistical challenges. The device has been tested in simulated lunar conditions, showing promising results for future lunar bases and extended human presence on the Moon.
