It's a brilliant idea. Copper can be replaced by Strong but less expensive engineering plastic. pH @4 is a factor to be reviewed. Could you make one sample available for experimentation and feed back to you for its application in arid and semi arid areas in India.

@BlueLotus108 only in sufficient amounts, would they be poisonous to higher organisms, at lower concentrations it is an essential trace nutrient to all higher plant and animal life.
In a system proposed here it would be no problem at all, in fact it would be good for the plants.

@BlueLotus108 more-so if the copper oxidizes. Good call.

AMAZING!! Or, as one guy (so perfectly) said, 'Hey, it worked on Tatooine'. LOL Classic!

Absolutely brilliant but... condensate in copper will cause copper to leech from the tubing and is toxic to plants. The pH of the condensate is 4 which has it's own problems to be addressed. changing to stainless steel is a better material to use.

Someone give this man a Nobel Peace Prize. If this is cheap and effective, it could revolutionize farming in dry and arid environments... and possibly give lots of food and clean water to people who really need it.
