Abstract
Sea Potential brings together entrepreneurs from Sea Potential LLC, a Maine-based organization that focuses on building diversity in marine science, and three partners from Ireland, Pure Marine, Colloide Engineering Systems, and Marine Systems. The team’s rapidly deployable, inflatable DUO Wave Powered Desalination System captures power using a hydraulic cylinder (which use liquids instead of air or electricity to power mechanics). Then, the device pumps seawater through a reverse osmosis membrane that extracts salt and other impurities to produce drinkable water.
