Ukuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe bamandla avuselelekayo kungakhanga. Umshini osanda kwakhiwa obizwa ngeWatly kungasinikeza isisombululo kuzinselelo ezintathu ezinkulu umphakathi ozibeke eqhulwini: ukuqinisekisa ukutholakala kwamanzi aphephile, ukukhiqiza amandla asimeme nokusizakala ngezinzuzo zenguquko yedijithali.
Le phrojekthi isekelwa uxhaso oluvela kuphrojekthi ye-Horizon 2020 futhi isizokwethula umshini wayo wokuqala ophelele we-Watly. Yini i-Watly?
Izidingo zamandla
Ukufeza inhlalakahle yabantu, amanzi namandla kuyadingeka njengokubekwa eqhulwini. Le mithombo emibili ndawonye ibalulekile. Njengamanje emhlabeni wonke, kunabantu abayizigidi eziyi-1.100 abangenakho ukuthola umthombo ovikelekile wamandla noma amanzi okuphuza. Lokhu kudala ukufa kwabantu ababalelwa ku-4.200 1.300 ngosuku ngenxa yezifo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abantu abayizigidi eziyi-5.000 abawutholi ugesi kanti abanye abayizigidi ezingama-XNUMX XNUMX abasenayo i-intanethi.
Labo abaphethe iphrojekthi yeWatly basungule indlela yokuguqula izingqinamba ezintathu ngomshini owodwa. Lo mshini unohlelo oluphakathi lwamaphaneli elanga axhunywe ngezinhlamvu ezine. Ngayinye yalezi zinhlayiya inamashubhu angabilisa amanzi ngokucindezela komphunga. La manzi angakhishwa emithonjeni efana nemifula okuthi, nakuba ingaphuzeki ekuqaleni, itholakale ukuze isetshenziswe ngabantu.
Kepha amandla asetshenziselwa ukuhlanza amanzi awatholakali kuma-solar panel. Inqubo yondliwa ukushisa okusele okuqoqwe kusuka kumapaneli ngohlelo lokujikeleza komoya. Le ndlela iwubuhlakani obukhulu, ngoba inamandla okuzenzela futhi "ayidli mandla".
Izinzuzo zamanzi
Inqubo yokuhlanzwa kwamanzi isuselwa kuziphuzilazi futhi yingakho umshini ukwazi ukususa zonke izinhlobo zokungcola emanzini. Ngale ndlela, izinkinga zokuthola nokutholakala kwamanzi emhlabeni zingancishiswa.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Watly inikeza ezinye izinzuzo ezengeziwe njengokusebenziseka kwamapaneli elanga lapho zigcinwa khona ezingeni elifanele lokushisa elisebenza cishe ngama-degree angama-25 futhi ingashaja omakhalekhukhwini abasetshenziselwa ukuxhuma kwi-inthanethi, noma isebenzise njengokunikezwa kwamandla ngokusebenzisa i-inverter yangaphakathi eguqula isuke kwamanje iye ngqo kokushintshayo yamanje.
