Hydro Wind Energy has created a 1.5-pound hand-held desalinator, which is manually operated and can make up to 3 liters of potable water per hour. The company says the desalinator will go into full production after the London and Dubai-based tech startup passed its crowdfunding goal by more than 700 percent.
