The abstract of the disclosure is a thermal-ultrafine bubble generation unit which is configured to generate thermal-ultrafine bubbles by bringing a liquid into film boiling. More specifically, the thermal-ultrafine bubble generation unit in the disclosure includes a temperature detection element that is configured to detect generation of the film boiling.

A method to produce insect frass, water-depleted insects, lipid-depleted insects, and insect lipids is described. The method includes feeding a feedstock to insects to produce grown insects and insect frass, harvesting and removing water from the grown insects, and extracting lipids from the water-depleted insects to produce lipid-depleted insects and insect lipids. The method further comprises mixing the feedstock with water, a mineral enhancer, or a vitamin enhancer, followed by sifting the grown insects, contacting the grown insects with water, separating water from the insect lipids, and distilling, hydrogenating, esterifying, and saponifying the insect lipids. Methods for analyzing, tracking, and shipping the grown insects are described. Producing a multifunctional composition from the insects, and shaping, cooking, flavoring, and production of animal foods or an insect-burger patty is disclosed. The insect production system may be placed within a space station in low Earth orbit, in outer space, or on Mars.

Described are a system, device, and method for atmospheric water generation (AWG). A device can include a nucleation chamber defining a cyclonic pathway therewithin. A humid gas is communicated along the cyclonic pathway within the nucleation chamber. Electrospray nozzle(s) is(are) used to disperse a nucleation initiator into the inner volume of the nucleation chamber to cause nucleation of water droplets from water vapor in the humid gas. The water droplets can be condensed out of the air to form an aqueous product. The nucleation initiator can be electrically charged before dispersion within the nucleation chamber to increase nucleation of water droplets from the humid gas. The nucleation initiator can comprise a salt, a desiccant material, a hygroscopic material, an ionic liquid, water droplets, CaCl.sub.2, NaCl, LiCl, MgCl.sub.2, KCOOH, CH.sub.3COOK, or sulfates. Humid gas can be cooled to a temperature of between about 33 F. and about 75 F. before nucleation.

A distillation unit for producing potable water using solar radiation is disclosed. The distillation unit includes a heating chamber defining an interior chamber adapted to contain a non-potable liquid for distillation, and a dome-shaped condensing portion having an inner surface and an outer surface, with the condensing portion disposed over the heating chamber such that the heating chamber and the inner surface of the condensing portion are provided in fluid-transfer communication. The distillation unit also includes a pre-heat jacket having a first surface and a second surface and an interior defined therebetween adapted to receive non-potable liquid for distillation therein. The first surface is disposed adjacent the outer surface of the condensing portion, and the pre-heat jacket defines an access entry for introducing non-potable liquid for distillation into the interior of the heating chamber. The distillation unit also includes a trough adjacent for receiving a potable liquid therein.
