Building a Desalination Plant from Scratch: Crash Course Engineering #44
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 апр 2019
- An essential part of engineering is engineering design. Today we’ll see how design synthesis helps you put together the components of a process and decide what techniques are needed to solve your problem. We’ll explain the need test things on a smaller scale before ramping up to full production, and how to continually incorporate feedback from design flaws to improve your designs.

I would love a series about building other things from scratch. Like a nuclear power plant, a dam, a thermoelectrical plant, etc.
Same! I need some of those things too.
Finally, a good factorio guide
I love the information but I can't process it without gaps in speech.. Pauses are sooo important for assimilation. Thank you so much for this information, I am glad it is out here.
I feel like you would be good at playing Factorio.
Now i can finally make my cyanide distillation
Thanks, now i can finally mine my gold effectively.
nice profile pic
I’m going to take Engineering Design in high school, I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. So, thanks Crash Course for telling me. 😂
I really like the outro music Callie Dishman has made for this series. I would love to hear those drums and percussion pipes in a full song.
We want crash course maths and this wonderful lady would be the best one to manage it
Her name ?
A crash course on musical theory would be awesome!
Fantastic video! ❤️
Hey! I had a similar project like this during my graduate school. We could implement any idea into this project so what our team did was build incorporate a nuclear power plant and salt processing plant into our desalination design. The heat generated from the nuclear power plant would be used to turn our salt water into steam and the excess salt would be distributed to the salt processor to be sold for consumers. Of course, people would be very skeptical knowing that their salt was produced at a nuclear power plant, but it was an interesting concept our professor never saw before.
Thank you Dr. Shini!
I'd also be concerned about marine life getting caught up in this system
Rods giving off electric pulses will drive most if not all marine life away from the intake.
3:10 a lil pump reference is crazy ☠️
I am hoping one of your next releases is on engineering management. You was close on this one.
Wow...my son and I love your channel.
Can you take a suggestion for a future clip?
My young son asked me about how to make a recycling plant.
With such a need in our country now that china is no longer helping us...I think that clip would be awesome.
Thank you so much and God bless you.
aL and Jonathan.
Imagine the efficiency we could achieve if cost was no longer an option.
"I am an Engineer not an economist."
*It's not efficient if it costs too much.*
*One thing engineers CAN push for is higher investments in the initial design to reduce maintenance costs and environmental costs (which are real costs a la Tragedy of the Commons) down the road. Our society unfortunately tends toward "less money now, but more money overall."*
*There is a similar tendency surrounding time. People are biased toward slogging through tasks the same way they've always done things, instead of taking a week off or something to learn a skill that would help them do their job much faster . I'M LOOKING AT YOU, MIDDLE-AGED SECRETARY WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO USE OFFICE SOFTWARE!*
How would the world look like if money was taken out of the equation... ahh a man can dream
Crash course is the best ❤
No doubt
You need to play Factorio! Easy-peasy after that :D
Energy independent facilities are always a good idea.
I would love to see a Economics of Engineering video
It would be very interesting if you guys did a course about the history of fashion
Crash course factorio please!
one could also build a small unit for a family an distribute it so you solve problems with scaling and it is decentralized, so risks of catastrophic down time is almost zero. each pump works with solar panels and a backup battery so in case of electricity downtime you have drinkable water
Nice video .
Is it possible to build a large scale super evaporator designed for desalination? Sun rays have much better evaporation properties than heat is the guess. Can this be replicated without solar rays using machine learning models?
I'm going to build one in my backyard now
Good luck
There's a wheel above her which reminds me of the Erector set I had as a kid.
This is literally what my current employer does...just not for desalination, and typically for smaller scale projects.
Is it weird that the Crash Course Engineering theme song is stuck in my head?
Just out of curiosity, is there any thing we could be using salt water to do, thus reducing the demand for fresh water?
Hypatia4242 Well there is tidal energy which, like how it sounds, creates energy from the forces of the tides and waves. But the demand of fresh water is for people and animals to drink as well as to water our crops in order to feed people. That demand won’t go away until all living things on the planet die off and Earth is like a new Mars
It is not just salt water, water undergoing such process have declined level of oxygen
you should put a reference to factorio in one of these videos in the thought bubble or whatever
Could you combine a solar thermal power plant with desalination?
@Arminiuswhy?
Look up seawater greenhouse. Absolutely phenomenal!
@Arminius You can. But the yield is low. Some coastal towns along the equator has been known to use them effectively.
But there are solar powered reverse osmosis plants used in Pacific island countries.
Please Crash Course Archeology and Crash Course Theology
Joe Ivan Aquino Archeology would be soooo dope!
How to solve water crisis:
>extract water
>lend it to people for use at an interest rate
>when people default, impose austerity by international water fund
>impose freedom at a gunpoint
>profit
Tank Girl?
Dr. Shini Somara...... I LOVE YOU !!!!!!!!!!!
I wanted those design plans. Search continues...
[Elon Musk] has left the chat
We do more to get oil.
This is the next big business after oil, just imagine what can be done to arid areas of the world and the revenue this would create.
*If you're an electrical engineer, you don't have to worry about how things get put together. You just draw squiggly lines everywhere and let someone else worry about it. T_T*
wouldn't a distillery work for taking salt out of water and not making alcohol
And that's why it's not that easy as to take sea water and squeeze the salt out of it...
Play factorio
The world will be horrible if no nerds.
Factorio again.
I can design one that is Perfect...even portable.. and it COULd be cheap...Very cheap..
Does it use the Grylls Process?
@@Aeleas aint seen that one, but Just a Fresnel Lens, or even parabolic, focused on a Metal surface with about 1/2 under water, the heat generated is over 2000-5000 degrees..
Then recover the salt if you wish, because that is a MARKET ALSO...and you dont want to kill off the fish...
great video, misleading title.
omg, the environmental issues surrounding desalination plants in this video were horrible :/
Any process known has environmental issues, depending on the company that makes the product is how the waste will be treated so it won't cause any trouble for environment and humans.
Even for crash course she is talking too fast
i really wanted to see this but LADY YOU TALK TO DAMN MUCH INSTEAD OF GETTING TO THE POINT....... no thanks im out
Try to keep up
She is so beautiful! Skin is so dark. 😍
The presenter has such an exotic beauty, so attractive.
