A picture of the Atmospheric Water- Generation machine
The World Health Organization reports that 780 million people don't have access to clean water, and 3.4 million die each year due to water-borne diseases. But an Israeli company thinks it can play a part in alleviating the crisis by producing drinking water from thin air.
Water-Gen has developed an Atmospheric Water-Generation Units using its "GENius" heat exchanger to chill air and condense water vapor.
"The clean air enters our GENius heat exchanger system where it is dehumidified, the water is removed from the air and collected in a collection tank inside the unit," says co-CEO Arye Kohavi.
"From there the water is passed through an extensive water filtration system which cleans it from possible chemical and microbiological contaminations," he explains. "The clean purified water is stored in an internal water tank which is kept continuously preserved to keep it at high quality over time."
The system produces 250-800 litres (65-210 gallons) of potable water a day depending on temperature and humidity conditions and Kohavi says it uses two cents' worth of electricity to produce a litre of water.
Another product Water-Gen has developed is a portable water purification system. It's a battery-operated water filtration unit called Spring. Spring is able to filter 180 litres (48 gallons) of water, and fits into a backpack -- enabling water filtration on the go.
It is much inspiring to see some subnormal, though creative human beings coming up with such 'out-of-this-world' technologies, as they attempt to save souls. One would definitely give credit to Water-Gen for the invention of such an awesome machine which has been donated to some areas of the world that experience water shortages.
Isn't this awesome?
