Michael Lomakema was a scientist in the pre-Omnic Crisis era.
Story[ | ]
Lomakema operated in a period when climate change was taking its toll on the world. Operating in the Great Basin Desert, he recognized that filtration alone could not compensate for the absence of water. While experts pushed to repurpose disused oil wells and pipelines to transport water into dry regions, the water would be under municipal, possibly corporate control. Lomakema wanted water to be free to the people, and began working with his local community college engineering department. They based their designs off the printible schematics of Leonal Namuaca's nanofiltration sheets. In less than six months, Lomakema and his team had made an equally home-printable water extractor, capable of extracting clean water from any degree of local humidity. A second, less easily distributed model was made for drawing water out of the ground without the disruption and future water table issues of drilling new wells.
Both Lomakema and Namuaca's work was utilized, including in the field of hydroponics.[1]
