Take a pan that will hold water. Build a slanted box to go around it. Lay a sheet of glass over the box. Put a gutter on bottom of the glass that can catch the water as it rolls down the glass (lowest area). Connect a tube to the gutter that will go to your gallon jug. Set in the sun. In the morning go get your water and refill the water that has evaporated. Way cheaper than $6k. Make it as big as you need.

Look up "air well". This is just a high tech version. You could stack up a lot of rocks (or any other non-water-contaminating material) for a lot less than $5k. Then add a solar still to get better than commercially distilled water. Of course the idiots in Oregon will probably make legislation banning this.

@chachadodds5860 3 года назад

Lots of naysayers here, that I'm guessing are clueless about what it's like to live in the desert. Especially, in an urban setting. I've often lamented that we desert-dwellers, really have no options for SHTF, drinking water sources. Let alone systems to gather and store it. I'm so excited to find this video, and learn that there's a company, just North from me, that has been working on a solution. Here in the Sonoran Desert, we're not only extremely arid, and extremely hot, but we are landlocked, without lakes, rivers, or streams. The only time we have rain of any significance, is during Monsoon season, a few weeks out of the year, and even that can be hit or miss when it comes to any chance of catchment systems. It's just not a reliable source. Thank you so much, for sharing about this option. It makes a lot of sense for many around the world, living in arid climates.

A lexan or plexiglass box can be easily made to insulate and cover your unit during the winter months. Kind of like a sunroof effect that is also used to keep plants warm and growing when the temperature plummets.

@naturerico Год назад

I believe that the winter solution would be to have the unit Not installed on the roof, but installed in the ground. Of course you must have enough space in your yard where the sun can still hit the panels. The ground is a natural insulator. And with low e- glass in triple pane, it might avoid freezing temperatures in a large portion of the country. After building a semi-pit greenhouse, I was amazed at the difference of avoiding quick spikes in temperature. And it Also prolonged the growing time in the greenhouse.

It seems like in most places, it would make more sense to design air conditioning systems in a way that the condensation is drinkable - that water usually just goes into the sewer system, around 5 gallons a day for a typical home.

@tecnocato 4 года назад

We love the system. Had it for two years and was the best decision after going full solar for the power. I LOVE the noise it makes because it reminds me of a Sci-Fi movie and high-tech. Best of all, it does that without any source of external power. Zero Mass installed a lot of them here in Puerto Rico at various fire departments after the hurricane.

Solar stills would be very difficult to use on a boat: Pitching and rolling would be constantly threatening to contaminate your freshwater with the saltwater you're trying to desalinate. They might be useful for something like an offshore platform, but even then... given all the other plant they have running it's as easy to just use a desalinator.

Pure is a chemistry term, not a biological one. Pure means that there is only one of that (element, molecule, compound, etc..). Until the mineral cartridge what this thing produces is PURE water, meaning there is only H2O (with some air gasses dissolved in it 😄). What you've implied is "sterile" or "harmless" which refers to the pathogen in it.

We purchased an Air-2-Water generator about 8 years ago. It is an enhanced dehumidifier with walter filtration capabilities. I looked at at the tpye of unit you demonstrated but the lower cost of Air-2-Water made the decision. In Missouri, the higher humidity gives us about six gallons of water a day. I siphon off water to store for days that are colder. It isn't perfect but it does a good job. I want to install one in an off-grid RV with a composting toilet and recirculating shower. It could happen.
