Learn About a Wind-Powered Device That Pulls Up to 10 Gallons of Pure Drinking Daily… From Thin Air

Making water. How does that happen without rain? It's crazy to think about it, but there's actually a sustainable solution that's great for those who live off the grid and more. Look here:

A Sustainable Solution for Worldwide Water Troubles

Developed by VICI-Labs, along with UC Berkeley and the National Peace Corps Association, the WaterSeer condenses pure water from the air without the need of power or chemicals. According to the company, “it is green, sustainable, simple, low-maintenance, easily deployed and scalable for any community.” It also yields up to 37 liters of distilled water a day. And a WaterSeer Orchard can provide enough clean water to satisfy the needs of an entire community.
VICI-Labs explains how it works:
The WaterSeer device is planted about six feet into the ground. The metal sides of the underground chamber are cooled by the surrounding soil.
Wind spins a turbine, which in turn, spins internal fan-blades that direct air into a condensation chamber. As the warmer air cools in the chamber, the water vapor condenses onto the sides, flowing down into the reservoir.
Clean, safe water can be extracted from the reservoir through a simple hose and pump.
Because the sides of the underground chamber are always cooler than the air, WaterSeer is always collecting water, day and night, even when there is no wind.
The efficiency of the device improves in higher air temperature, so long as below-ground temperature remains stable. The unit will also continue to produce in colder climates if the reservoir and condensation chamber stay above freezing temperature. A cold weather kit is in the works for extremely cold and subarctic environments.

We were always told that man is only limited by the limitations of their imaginations and we are beginning to see the wisdom in this. If this could work on a larger scale just think how many third world drought-ridden nations could benefit from such an apparatus!

Now, if someone can create a device that materializes food out of thin air we will all be set! Hmm, maybe next year!

    Question will it effect the water system if millions of thies are in use ( less rain ) ?

    *terms and conditions apply, only available in areas with both steady wind and high water table, no it will not work where you need it to, yes you will end up strapping a board to it and walking in circles like Conan

    Danielle Haynes this is cool, if the air is clean anought to make good water from now
