Solar Atmospheric Water Generators: The solution to fresh water scarcity 

MOSES WEST Bought me here. Put some respect on that mans name.

We have used the ru-vid.comUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!

Excellent video! Desertification is continuing and spreading in the temperate latitudes. Glad to see this technology evolving. It'll be a win-win for developing countries, since it will not only bring more water, but cleaner water!

This was VERY informative; Thank you! It helps choose which one, or, informs about how to DIY a system. Having a simple, nature-replicating water harvester, that just about anyone could make for themselves, is truly a compassionate gift. The only thing I would add to this description, is links to show diagrams or plans for each type.

This is GOLD! Thank you, Sir.

Texas is grateful about this after winter storm 🌾🌾:)

Wow! Well done. Beautiful presentation, so useful content, and incredible thoroughness in scope. Genius.

I am very intrigued and will be looking into these devices for our Off the Grid Green Magic Underground Homes.Self Sufficiency IS THE FUTURE. THANK YOU FOR SHARING! PEACE

Very informative.. good subject to cover.Thx

Thank you. Very well presented and understandable.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OTHERS !

I really appreciate your informative videos. Very well done!

Thank you for a highly informative and interesting video about the AWG. Hopefully one day these machines will be more available and help with our water problems.

Thank you. Very helpful and important.

Window AC units can produce lots of condensed water during humid warm/hot climates...used to collect from "overflow" drain into open air containers for birds & wildlife use - they didn't have any problems drinking it.

Well explained..thank you for your effort

This is beautiful informative system.

Very well done!

Great presentation. I learned a few things and that's always fun! :D

Thanks for simplified explanation 👍

MASHAALLAH khub valo video

Fantastic news!

Thank you.

Been looking into this a lot recently. Thank you so much for the video. to me it just sounds like a dehumidifier, add a stolar panel to it for free water...... I wonder which would be cheaper making a DIY version... sorry, I've a huge DIY kind of guy always trying to make something simpler and cheaper.... Cheers from Manitoba, Canada. Great video.

Mind blowing

Excellent

That was excellent! I was wondering about Pelletier technology for creating something like this? I see the home made versions in your clip 👍 Now I'm going to go researching 🙂

very Important For Beginers

awesome!

excellent - thanks :)

Great video great info =)

This will definitely be the water source of the future, eliminating plastic bottles and providing clean fresh water...

10X THANKS !!!

AC units produce water from the air when the warm air passes over the cooling coils water is released due to the heat loss. Been doing this for a hundred years. When the drains get clogged with algae or bugs, then the drain pans over flow and cause spots in the ceiling or water on the floor.

Great!

A lot of these inventions were over a hundred years ago but those guys are dead now we have the internet on our side

I was in the USN in the’60’s and the air droppable rubber life rafts had floating solar stills for fresh water production.

Good n very beautifully presented...u r the best💧💦👍✨🌟⭐💫

Nice

Water shortage in Australia what a crock of shit we are experiencing floods from too much rainfall along the west coast. I live in Adelaide and have a constant variation from using my rain water from 30,000Lts down to 15,000 Lts throughout the year over the last 14 years. Never has my water run out and I run the whole house on it from the kitchen, laundry, bathroom, toilet and on my garden. I even wash the car with it. There are two of us my son and I.

Could the power for this be generated from the moving parts of the water condenser it's self? I have seen some hubcaps on cars that spin generating some power putting it back into the car battery. It's an idea. It would make the condenser more self sustaining a maybe provide more than just clean water. Just a thought to try and help.

5 thumbs up

In <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="504">8:24</a> the video refers to a study from MIT. Could you share the link to their article on this topic? Thanks!

We have two electric atmospheric water generators at my house, one we affectionately call HVAC, and the other that we named D. Humidifier. Cheaper electricity, like that from improved effeciency solar panels, would help them make even more water.

this system also can be connected to an water (the atmosferic distilled water obtained by mean of this method) electrolysis-hydrogen combustion system for free energy generation

❤❤❤❤

How can I get more info about the 2nd Peltier device you showed, the one on the tripod?

If we use peltier effect like for example soda can wrapped around with sand paper and linked to drive the load or to battery then to ground that way it take the heat out of the ambient to drive that load

Maybe we’ll all become water farmers like Luke’s uncle on Tatooine! If you have excess solar power that you’re not getting paid for by the grid, why not use power to run this or a similar system?

Permaculture principles all the way for the home run. Check out Toofan Aala song puts it beautifully.

Great information, appreciated! Can anyone share insights for how I could analyze/shop the options for the best low-humidity required machine for family consumption in case of emergency? I have an extended family of 7 to care for in Phoenix AZ with low humidity (under 40%) and am not sure how to make an intelligent purchase on this! Thanks in advance for any guidance :)

Have a water nation produce hydrogen with solar and wind. Transport the H to the arid area. And turn it into H2O and electricity

Maithri Aquatech in India is successfully running projects of 25000 Litres/day AWG

Have none of these people ever heard of where ships get their water from? After twelve years in the forces i am surprised that sommany people have forgotten how it was done, and just how much water per hour these units would turn out. It was done using an evaperator using steam, that took in seawater Boiled it by reducing the air pressure so it boiled at a much lower temperature than normal leaving a brine at the bottom and the steam went to the top and was taken away through a condenser and turned into just plain water without salt in it, the water was checked every few minutes to makevsure it was pure water with no salt , in othervwords distilled water as youncould only use distilled water in the boilers for superheated steaming for the turbines that drove the ship . We are told that sea levels are rising so lets use a bit of common sence andvuse these eveperators to provide water for watering the plants and vegitables so all the world has food, we help reduce the rising sea levels . They can be as big or little as you want depending on how much fresh water you want, they can ve powered by the sun in hot countries, only require saturated steam, someasy to use solar heaters. Just think how much land can be used that at present is just too dry. This is technology that is asvoldvas the hills but works well, at least a far more viable idea than this getting water out of the atmphere.

If you have enough money, these things work but like you mentioned at the end of the video, it's in 4th place when it comes to getting potable water. These are not long term solutions as the sellers of these types of equipment never seem to be able to figure in all the costs of running them. Spare parts and the cost of filters (coming from halfway across the world) are conveniently forgotten when the it comes to price per liter. Where does the dry hot air (capable of taking in the moisture from the surrounding air) go?

My air conditioner does basically the same thing.

Does anyone know where I would be able to purchase some of the mesh towards the end of the video?

🤙🏼

Also add, geothermal cooled air to water transmutor.

It's called a dehumidifier they sell them at Walmart, Amazon and just about any other retailer on line.

Thank you the very informative video . Any recommendation for AWG's that can be sourced in Karachi

I think in this digital age where is the need for mega cities, solution to solve polution and water scarcity may depends on how we are going to develop self reliant villages

Use biodiesel generator to resolve electrical grid for atmospheric water generator.

Biodiesel vegetables oil generator can resolve electrical grid for atmospheric water generator.

Evaporating and thus Condensing water involves a very large amount of energy. Ever tried boiling a liter of water away? The same thing must be done here in reverse. Even if you can do it at 100% efficiency it is still not going to be efficient. An other weak point is the filters of the device. They are also not cheap, and don't last that long. Inverse osmosis is superior method to get large quantities of fresh water in my opinion if salt water is availeable. If not a well can be digged, or rain water can be collected, and filtered.

A Black man in America build this a few years ago. It wasn't solar but it worked!

Does anyone know, where to buy an integrated solar-panel option for total independency?

Interesting video. This tecnology has some dark side. For example, every human need about 2 - 3 litres of water each day. If in a small area the daily production is 15,000,000 litres (5,000,000 people), how is the local humidity influenced? How does the weather change? Are the changes local or medium radius?

Very interesting… but taking of humidity off air can’t cause other problems (parallels for plantes ? Animals ? … I Hope humains will understand that we can’t let humans démographie grow without doing something..I know the only sense of life it’s having kids ,( a life with no kids will not have sens for me) but control it must be necessary….

Hello - which of probably more than 100 available dehumidifiers is the most efficient? Is there a recommended model for high yields, longlasting and not to expensive? 50 Liters per day produced by 15KWh out of solar panels would be perfect for my finca in Spain. Might it be smarter to store most of the electricity and focus on nighttime water production?

Where can I buy one of these??

TY. /

Thanks to Moses West right??

the movie; "Dune" and their hydration system came to mind.

These aren't new a new invention. I've seen this a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

I trust this technology can one day soon be available : For all the barren lands world wide,because water is : The most valuable resource ✦

You didn't mention MOFs.

It’s a dehumidifier with a filter system. It’s not unique. It was the second foreseen use of dehumidifiers.

I'm sure the USA anti-water-capturing laws will limit this to foriegn use

You do mention the need for decontamination. using uv for bacteria and viruses. Air pollutants (sut, heavy metals..) can not be removed that way. Might be a serious problem in cities like Karachi..

Welcome Is this type of water lacking minerals because it is considered distilled water?

Interesting what implications this have for the ecosystem if this becomes large scale.

السلام عليكم هل يوجد لكم فرع في اسعوديه او الإمارات المتحده وكيف استطيع ان احصل على هاذا النوع

Any company selling on a big scale?

Whilst this is a great solution on a small scale, huge scale use will create climate change. Every bit of water you remove from the environment would have fallen somewhere as natural rainfall. This system will change those rainfall patterns.

It's a large system dehumidifier people, it's not new

what is the price and Where can I get it?

are you still working toward this? i am extremely interested in making this a reality

Pero es agua destilada

I'm wondering what happens to the local environment, if humans start to extract air humidity in a significant amounts? Nearby plants, animals, and micro-organisms need the air humidity, too. Thus there might be severe damage if humans harvest that?

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="205">3:25</a>

So the hydrophilic technique requires no energy input, no chemical input, and no chemical removal? You just expose this structure to the air and it collects water?

Question... If you suck up water 💦 from the air of dry climates, couldn't you then make that dry place even drier⁉️

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="265">4:25</a> It kind of looks like a cpu heat sink.

It's great any sales inf in texas USA ?? $$$$$$

How much for this machine
