THis one is probably not feasible, but at least it is not theoretically impossible. It seems to take humid air with (and this is crucial) kinetic energy to do work by impinging on the blades, and going through (I suppose) a slight pressure drop. Therefore a miniscule amount of water should precipitate out (if the air is already saturated). So long as it costs me no energy input (it is a passive process), what do I care if it takes weeks for a cup?

It was proven to work very well. The business behind the sale and distribution of it went into receivership. 'Why' I don't know. I was informed that a device with an opening of 2 x 2m opening could optimally collect 7500 Lt per day. Consider that it can be built to any scale. Imagine really large ones, or clusters of them. A lot of arid land could be easily rejuvenated. They could reestablish forests with them and then move them on once the forests create their own favourable weather.

All you have to be is near the sea. Desalination plants are too expensive in comparison, I think. Besides, desalination plants pump back the remaining salt back into the sea, thus, increasing the sea's salinity. This condenses vapor that naturally left the sea. I don't see how so many people are being negative about it.

@katsumorymoto An interesting observation my dear katsumorymoto but thisaquaferousdiscussionhasmanyinterestinganglesthatwemaypossiblynot haveobserveredasyetsodrinkyourorangejuiceandiwishyouwell.
It would be interesting to see the energy requirements of this device vs. a desalination plant, especially in low humidity environments where it most needed.
This will work fantastic for most places but considering that some communities are pretty dry lets say for example Iraq. During the Iraq war water was necessary for the troops so they enlisted a company called Terralab to make these water generators which use brine to collect water from the surrounding air. It worked at humidity levels as low as 15%. Although it still needed power but that necessity can be filled by renewables.
The latest tests showed that the windmill with a 2x2m opening could produce up to 7500 Lt per day. You cannot dehumidify the atmosphere with this device. There are 3100 cubic miles of drinking water in the atmosphere around the world at all times. Unfortunately this machine is going nowhere. The business behind its development went into receivership a while ago and of course there is no government support for this ingenious device.
This is great, you can rob those further down the prevailing winds of life-giving water simply by placing an assload of these things up. You have just made dehydration a tool of war.
Join VSO go to Africa you will see Africans distill alcohol from a fermenting brew using a pan and a lid? Some also use a solar still to get water but it takes to long to produce enough for your daily requirement?
@2012listo A good point? I do not Know? Well I must have a bad habit? of finishing sentences with a Question mark Note taken, Must do better! Thanks for pointing it out. Any way solar stills are a minimal survival tool for producing water not sustainable.
Use heat from the sun instead of coolant. (Metal solar heater to block the air) Instead of cooling the air with coolant let the sun provide heat to cause steam, that would save more money, IMHO. Wouldnt work at night though.
all its doing is harvesting condensation, ( that is the result of refrigeration) looks as if there are enough turbines there to produce enough eelectricty to maaaybe run a small compressor. However, there are obviously way more evaporator coils in the model than needed for efficiency. Great ideas !! now all you need is capital xD

@dowelplug - Similar systems are in place in several locations on the African continent. As the technology improves and the efficienies are raised, perhaps they will become more than marginally useful. The technology has been in place in Africa for use in early A.M. winds (which are more humid) for over 11 years. I don't recall them saying that it makes "large quantities" of water.

Fluoride is poison and its added to our water supply to kill us!!! I use NON fluoride toothpaste and I'm buying a ECOLOBLUE water from air machine (atmospheric water generator). Your body ingest more fluoride during showering that by drinking, it's hard to remove but can be done using reverse osmosis. Filters made with BONE CHAR and CHARCOAL can remove fluoride. Its a conspiracy by the illumianti and it must be stopped! STOP INGESTING FLUORIDE, DON'T LET THOSE SHIT BAGS KILL YOU!!!!!!!
There are already companies who've designed and built water harvesting technology for use in the deserts, and it's more advanced than this. the one I've seen will not only make the water, the unit has a small shower built into it and a system for filling water bags to hand out; I think it even sterilizes the water and fills aseptically. I believe it uses the old spray gun operators favorite friend, condensation as a result of compression.
@lexichronicle2 Ok well I live in the desert and except or maybe 5 days a year the air is so dry that you can exercise outside and never know your sweating b/c it evaporates that fast, so pulling water out of air in the desert. Highly unlikely.
@adamslurch71 Have you tried doing it in the middle of the night? There are also regions where the moist air comes in over specific land features. Particularly if you have winds blowing in from the sea.
@adamslurch71 just because sweat evaporates quickly, it doesn't mean there isn't harvestable moisture in the air. The sweat on your skin is effectively at a humidity of 100% and it's only a very thin layer, so it's going to evaporate quickly. You must have seen the idea of 'solar stills' on survival programs. Dig a hole, cover it with polythene, wait. The moisture is there, it's just not very concentrated.
i find it hard to believe water will ever vanish from our planet from us drinking it and using it to bathe ,water is an element that makes up everything on our planet and always has we have not received any more nor do we have any less uless we sell it to aliens it will always be here as ice water or a gas
@283inc Water is not an element it is a molecule. The elements for water are hydrogen and oxygen. It does not make up "everything on our planet". Most of the water on earth is not readily usable which is why water is running out they are talking about the stuff we grow and drink with. Go feed your plants ocean water for a day and you'll see the problem. Try watching the discovery channel more you might learn somethings that isn't bs.
It's designed to use the turbines to compress the refrigerant .Then the refrigerant is used to condense the water from the warmer air.The water will still need to be purified because of airborne pollutants.This is not to pump and/or sterilize ground water.
From what I understand, the unit acts like a windmill powering the compressor of a refrigerator, which causes condensation on the coils. This condensation is collected for use.
This isn't a terribly bad idea, since it avoids changing kinetic energy to electricity and then back to kinetic (a very lossy process). I do have to wonder if it is better than just pumping water from a well using wind power though.
does this pump water like trees? Does water evaporate at the plates, pulling water up through tiny tubes (like out of an aquifer or up a huge hill). I guess all that stupid turbulence in the air flow inside the thing is to allow most of the water to condense back to liquid before exhaust. Then- it apparently collects as clean water in the ball thing. The windmill portion could do something else. If you try to purify water this way, your capilarries will get crusty and clogged soooo fast.
Something I'm positive of is that the President can't know that the use of hydrogen by electrolysis has recently been perfected to conclusively produce completely thorough internal combustion engine performance in avarage gasoline and diesel engines using platinized titanium-based hydrogen generators, easily retrofitted to any vehicle with such type of engine. This is the way to turn heads at the Copenhagen summit, with hard science and proven testing by NASA back in the early Seventies.
no lol do you know that air conditioners harbour legionares disease in the water that is produced from the air con........and your invention looks simular to air con........
basically the water will collect germs that are blown inside ...ready to be drunk
The water flowing from your tap is pumped from the water table that lies at varying depths just about anywhere you drill a well.But the processes we have now render the sewage water cleaner than tap water.
Maybe people don't sense my sarcasm. I'm saying if we have the ability to purify our shit water. Then we have the ability to get rid of the "Legionnaire's disease" someone was complaining about.
The key word is "well"; those windmills were used only to pump water, not to cool refrigerant plates and condense the water from the air. This is basically a very efficient wind-powered dehumidifier/ water supply.
Turning water into air isn't an invention. Farmers used to do it all the time. Every farm had a windmill in the old days. They hooked it up to a well and had all the water they needed.
so it is a larger dehumidifier, it take 5 to 6 hours to generate 2L of water form my house hold size dehumidifier in a humid day, in winter it simply too dry already so how long would it take to make a glass of water in a dry day with this thing???
You're not perceiving the problem correctly. Furthermore, you have received 4 thumbs up because your comment is attracting opinion as a result of your miss-perceptions.
Firstly, your dehumidifier is a very low power machine if its only condensing 2 litres per day.
Secondly, your dehumidifier runs inside your home - not outside as it would in this video, where it would collect huge amounts of water during the night and at dew point.
@foxwuj well, it freaking larger than what you have . ...LOL the simply you can guess what the outcome it will be...larger quantity of water that will be.
Everything is energy in one form or another. The trick is how to transform whatever matter you have chosen cheaply and efficiently using the energy produced to power the process. solar, hydro and wind power are a simple examples of free energy. incinerating our waste instead of fossil fuel power stations is another. We are still in the infant stage of developing these technologies.
I wonder what effects this would have on the environment. If it was overused, would it not change the humidity? Even a minor effect on climate has huge consequences.
@tommysch the radiator it self is cold enough then even in a desert you can correct water. I've seen condensations on a cup of ice cold water in a glass in Saudi arabia... middle east..the desert of the desert.. then what you are going to tell me? Am I faking God or God is the law of nature?
@maxinpains Im not saying that this would not produce water. The question is how much water can it produce in a given time and at what cost per liter per day.
@tommysch it must be depends on the humidities in a air. LOL Don't ask me about that point I can't control the weather everyday ! perhaps God can ...lol What cost?? LOL That's a secret.LOL
it would have no effect on the climate unless you covered miles and miles and miles of land with these and had them magically all powered fully and running twenty four seven and stored the water they extracted from the air in vast sealed containers.
I'm assuming they are using heat pipes, the same kind you would find in your CPU cooler, these don't need much energy to get high temperature differentials.
think a lil bit more about that i cant c any problems as the sun will be millions of times more capable of turning the sea water into vapours than this thin turning it back
Heat from the sun evaporates water from seas/oceans/etc. Where exactly, do you think clouds come from? :-)
Though, ... I still think there are some holes here... Definitely going to need a power source. Solar may or may not be a good choice, depending on the power requirements for the cooling system. (Cooling is typically not very efficient.)
you still have to suck the water out of somewhere, which is the air and the water vapor right, that comes baack down in rain fall and other important weather cycles, seems it could be dangerous if too many of these were to interrupt areas. Also wouldnt u need power to run refrig? in 3rd world deserts they wont have that.
lots of sunlight in deserts, check out sterling solar engines. for the record, you cant dry out the atmosphere, the oceans have a way of replacing the moisture.
It's not first. My dehumidifier in my basement works the same way, but you need too much electricity to get it working and there is not really much water in air in deserts.
would be hand in areas where there is no access to clean water.... as for what is causing the condensation to happen it is probably collecting on the metal plates as the air passes by them they will cool down and if they are cooler than the air the water will collect on the plates... it would work but how well it would work and if id even be worth it is another thing
I think that is would not be easy to collect in the desert but for people living in mountains using nets to collect water form fog it could be usefull.
It could be installed on the roof and collect more water than a much bigger net.
It also would be easyier to use the water in the house because of the high storagetank
The idea is to generate electric power using the wind. A part of the air entering the turbine is cooled down with pelltierelements (putting DC power on those, one side gets hot and the other cooles down).
The heat is given to the other part of the air.
If it s getting cold enough the humidity in the air is falling out as waterdrops.
Cold is merely the absence of heat, take something hot, give it a path of lesser resistance than that which you want cold, and carry the heat away thus leaving cold, which can then be circulated, I work outside airconditioning is useless as it gives off more heat than it removes, solid state cooling however, divert the removed heat, store it or put a non heat generating load inline and it's no longer pointless to cool outside air.
The problem with this is variable atmospheric humidity. The places that are short on water have a dry and arid climate. There has to be a significant amount of humidity to have condensation form. It's like a flashlight that needs light in order to turn on.

That's why they burried all the uranium in nevada, if it just gets hot, water will then thusly condense.
zach2408dk 2 years ago
From what I understand, the unit acts like a windmill powering the compressor of a refrigerator, which causes condensation on the coils. This condensation is collected for use.
This isn't a terribly bad idea, since it avoids changing kinetic energy to electricity and then back to kinetic (a very lossy process). I do have to wonder if it is better than just pumping water from a well using wind power though.

does this pump water like trees? Does water evaporate at the plates, pulling water up through tiny tubes (like out of an aquifer or up a huge hill). I guess all that stupid turbulence in the air flow inside the thing is to allow most of the water to condense back to liquid before exhaust. Then- it apparently collects as clean water in the ball thing. The windmill portion could do something else. If you try to purify water this way, your capilarries will get crusty and clogged soooo fast.

Something I'm positive of is that the President can't know that the use of hydrogen by electrolysis has recently been perfected to conclusively produce completely thorough internal combustion engine performance in avarage gasoline and diesel engines using platinized titanium-based hydrogen generators, easily retrofitted to any vehicle with such type of engine. This is the way to turn heads at the Copenhagen summit, with hard science and proven testing by NASA back in the early Seventies.

lol, you must think the constructions using magnetic turn wheels etc and then produce free energy, works too.
this is not the first airco and its definetely not continuous without adding air that has water in it already.

this design is intended to produce water, not energy.

The water flowing from your tap is pumped from the water table that lies at varying depths just about anywhere you drill a well.But the processes we have now render the sewage water cleaner than tap water.

The key word is "well"; those windmills were used only to pump water, not to cool refrigerant plates and condense the water from the air. This is basically a very efficient wind-powered dehumidifier/ water supply.

Turning water into air isn't an invention. Farmers used to do it all the time. Every farm had a windmill in the old days. They hooked it up to a well and had all the water they needed.

foxwuj 2 years ago 8
You're not perceiving the problem correctly. Furthermore, you have received 4 thumbs up because your comment is attracting opinion as a result of your miss-perceptions.
Firstly, your dehumidifier is a very low power machine if its only condensing 2 litres per day.
Secondly, your dehumidifier runs inside your home - not outside as it would in this video, where it would collect huge amounts of water during the night and at dew point.

Everything is energy in one form or another. The trick is how to transform whatever matter you have chosen cheaply and efficiently using the energy produced to power the process. solar, hydro and wind power are a simple examples of free energy. incinerating our waste instead of fossil fuel power stations is another. We are still in the infant stage of developing these technologies.

Heat from the sun evaporates water from seas/oceans/etc. Where exactly, do you think clouds come from? :-)
Though, ... I still think there are some holes here... Definitely going to need a power source. Solar may or may not be a good choice, depending on the power requirements for the cooling system. (Cooling is typically not very efficient.)
jeffillinois 2 years ago
you still have to suck the water out of somewhere, which is the air and the water vapor right, that comes baack down in rain fall and other important weather cycles, seems it could be dangerous if too many of these were to interrupt areas. Also wouldnt u need power to run refrig? in 3rd world deserts they wont have that.

would be hand in areas where there is no access to clean water.... as for what is causing the condensation to happen it is probably collecting on the metal plates as the air passes by them they will cool down and if they are cooler than the air the water will collect on the plates... it would work but how well it would work and if id even be worth it is another thing

Windradgucker 3 years ago
I saw this on a webside before:
The idea is to generate electric power using the wind. A part of the air entering the turbine is cooled down with pelltierelements (putting DC power on those, one side gets hot and the other cooles down).
The heat is given to the other part of the air.
If it s getting cold enough the humidity in the air is falling out as waterdrops.
Windradgucker 3 years ago
Cold is merely the absence of heat, take something hot, give it a path of lesser resistance than that which you want cold, and carry the heat away thus leaving cold, which can then be circulated, I work outside airconditioning is useless as it gives off more heat than it removes, solid state cooling however, divert the removed heat, store it or put a non heat generating load inline and it's no longer pointless to cool outside air.
M3T4LH34D812 3 years ago
so how does the refrigerant work? doesnt it need some external power source to keep cold?
therockeronner 3 years ago
The problem with this is variable atmospheric humidity. The places that are short on water have a dry and arid climate. There has to be a significant amount of humidity to have condensation form. It's like a flashlight that needs light in order to turn on.
