Abstract: Method and apparatus for producing desalinated water are disclosed herein. In embodiments, a method may comprise adding superabsorbent polymer to salt water to form a mixture of hydrogel and brine; and extracting desalinated water from the mixture of hydrogel and brine. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include multi-plane photovoltaic modules and/or solar panel arrangements, as well as solar farms constituted with such arrangements/modules. In embodiments, a solar panel arrangement may include a first solar panel having a first plurality of solar photovoltaic modules, disposed at a first plane; and a second solar panel having a second plurality of solar photovoltaic modules, disposed at a second plane, vertically offset from the first plane. Similarly, in embodiments, a photovoltaic module may include a first substrate having a first plurality of photovoltaic cells, disposed at a first plane; and a second substrate having a second plurality of photovoltaic cells, disposed at a second plane, vertically offset from the first plane. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
