What if Google had the solution to save 1 billion people... and just threw it away? Let's find out!

Google spent 4 YEARS secretly developing a device that pulls safe drinking water from thin air using only sunlight. They proved it worked. They proved it could help over 1 BILLION people without clean water. Then they just... quit and open-sourced everything in 2021. 😅

Meanwhile, billionaires like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg poured millions into competing startups trying to solve the same problem, with no better results.

What made Google's own engineers walk away from technology that could change the world?

As #TeamWater is about to make its comeback, there's a lot to learn here!
