PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Atmospheric Water Capture
How It Works
- Work in a variety in aways
- Most rely on the humidity in the air
- Fans pull air into the unit and a condenser cools the air and the water is collected
- After the after is collected it is filtered and purified.
- Other low tech. systems simply use nets to catch condensation in the air as the temperature cools through out the day
aquaScience
- Product: The Emrgency water staton
- Produces up to 2600 gallons per day
- can bring water to 5200 people
- uses a salt concentration to attract water instead of condensation
- can work in desert conditions
- developing solar powered unit
-a wind turbine that collects 1200 l of water per day.
-it is completely self sufficient and Can provide water to remote areas for 12 years at time.
The future of Water harvesting
- NBD nano produces materias that aid in atmospheric water capture
- hydrophobic: water repelling, used on condensing tubes
- Hydrophilic: water loving
- Developing fog harvesting nets with hydrophobic coatings to increace effeciency.
-Requires no electricity
-Made from mesh and wood
-catches the condensation
-is very cheap to install
-50-100 l of water per day
-owned and operated by villagers
Ecolo blue is working to provide water on a large scale and produces commercial Atmospheric water generators for home usesL
