Water treatment device

Water

Because no one should be without water. Let us all welcome the Atmospheric Water Generation Unit, the generator-powered device that can produce up to 450 gallons of clean water a day for as little as eight cents a gallon. This is a portable water generator, which extracts water from the air by sucking it in and cooling it down, much like an air conditioner, but a lot more efficient. (It needs about 310 watt-hours of energy to make a liter of drinking water.) Ok, so reality check we can't be hauling them around on our next mountaineering trip.

@cscott4y Rain catchment has many problems, radio activity for one. Also your unit can be used in an underground shelter.?

@apierce59 Very interesting...amazing how the simplest concepts (like mining the atmosphere for water) are also among the most vital and hardy of applications.

We use a dehumidifier in the summer and I average 2 gals a day from June through mid September in East Texas.

@rgonzalez6m yeah but a dehumidfier needs around 350W...I think he is trying to do something that uses way less energy.

@rgonzalez6m Our technology is simply not advanced enough for this.

@kduncan6t And even with +100y future high-tech, cleaning contaminated water will still be more efficient than dehumidifying air.

@kduncan6t So if you have dirty water source (seawater, urine, etc.) you'll get more water per 1kW from cleaning that water than from dehumidifying air.

@agarza6y Of course it depends on the humidity of the air wherever you are using it.?
