What company is making machines that purify water, generate electricity and supply Wi-Fi simultaneously?

Answer: Watly

Designed to tackle three problems at once — water, electricity and Internet — Watly’s prototype machine weighs 15 metric tons, and is in the shape of the letter H so it can follow the sun throughout the day, its developers told telegraph.co.uk.

Watly is powered by photovoltaic solar panels that line its shell, and the energy that is produced fuels water purification and Wi-Fi signal. The company received research funding after a trial in Ghana last year. Developing and affluent nations alike expressed interest in the product, and the company is now planning to unveil the “ultimate” version this summer.
