An answer to the climate change crisis is the production of water from thin air using renewable energy. In doing so, water resources can be saved and consumers will have a steady source of this necessity 24/7.
Fresh water can is obtained by a touch of a button. Out of necessity, a Chilean engineer managed to design and build a device that could pull moisture out of thin air. His necessity came when his daughter anatomic system rejected the water resource that the environment provides. He invented a device that delivers fresh drinking water in aid of her daughter's renal problem, Bloomberg Businessweek reported.
A company in Israel also developed their technology in harvesting clean potable water from thin air. They say that their invention is an immediate solution to people who don't have access to clean drinking water. Water-Gen is the name of the company that designed and built their technology. But the device needs a power source (solar is an option) for it to operate. In an 80˚C and 60 percent humidity, the biggest device can pull up to 825 gallons of water in a day, Business Insider reported.
Water collection varies in weather conditions. When it is hot and the air is humid water pull is more. But when it is cold and dry, it is less. The limited supply of drinking water in the planet challenged inventors to come up with innovations that may respond to this global predicament.
The founder of another water pulling device is Ap Verheggen who made the design available on the internet for free. He shared his simple invention with less cost and moving parts that triggers wear and tear of the device. He called his solar-powered equipment "DC03".
The solar powered DC03 supplies power to an 18-watt Peltier element. This element becomes hot on the other side and cooler on the other with a temperature difference of 67˚C paving condensation to function. The hotter the air, the more water collected, reports inhabitat.
