Science and Technology

In the middle of the ocean, a giant platform produces potable water from the sea itself to support up to 300 workers living onboard for weeks; the process reuses heat, uses high-pressure pumps, and reveals invisible engineering, but relies on expensive energy and extreme logistics.
